log in a separate instance as a power user or admin and see if that is a help to do what u want. if u use the lower F keys below 7 u will get command line logins only but if u use upper ones above 7 can get xserver access.

seems to me Fed mentioned they locked res for RDPLAY screen optimum so not great for access to other uses, that is why I created extra user login and login as RD user for RD and my own for other stuff CTRL-ALT-F7 RD and CTRL-ALT-F8 for my user

I've just got one problem left. I can't get Ubuntu to get my display hardware correct. The res is stuck at such a low value on my server that I can't use the configuration tools. All the client machines are OK. It's an Intel Motherboard with onboard video chipset.

    Thanks Andy. I've given up on it. Trying the new RRAbuntu now.
    Centos 5 supports these NICs, it's whatever drivers got bound into
    the BA that's the problem.

    Hi Bill,
    Ran into exactly same thing when I installed the Centos5 version
    as well. In the end I had to add a 2nd older pci NIC card and
    disable the onboard nic to get it to recognize the card.

    For some reason Centos didn't set up modules to work with onboard
    NIC. Recall there was others that had similar experiences around
    that time as well.

    after installing appliance, I removed HD and replaced with a 2nd
    HD configured to triple boot othe OS's versions, and the onboard
    NIC worked fine.

    Added Centos RD appliance HD back into the HD mix as the prime
    drive, and was able to switch OS's on boot after that as well. If
    u need to re-install Centos OS at any time have to disconnect the
    2nd HD, as appliance will wipe drives and comandeer all space for
    the install.

    cheers hope this a help

    Andy

    Anyone else have these problems? I'm on my 18th hour trying to
    load the Broadcast Appliance LiveCD on our systems here.

    2 of my 4 computers work fine, 2 don't. One of the ones that
    doesn't is the server. I get "failed; no link present. Check
    cable?" One of the ones that fails is an Intel motherboard's
    "e1000e" NIC and the other is the onboard NIC in a Dell OPtiplex
    740 (Broadcom) that comes up as "tg3". Both of these were
    working on RRAbuntu yesterday morning when I started the change
    over. What's even moer frustrating is that I got the vanilla
    Centos 5.5 LiveCD down from a Centos mirror site just to see if
    it was different and it works fine on the broken systems.

    Now I'm stuck here. Can't leave the station cause I have to keep
    putting on the 4 hour wav file we've been playing while the
    automation is down. <sigh>
