Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rdesktop
Since I switched to lucid, rdesktop (1.6.0-2ubuntu3) has become almost
unusable for me.
I regularly connect to remote Windows XP host located oversea (100+ ms latency)
and since the upgrade to lucid, the symptoms are: random session lock, rdesktop
freeze, display do not update anymore and very often the keyboard is locked and
useless in other X application. the only way to release it is to kill rdesktop
outside X.
It can freeze during Windows login process or after a while.
I downgraded rdesktop to 1.6.0-2ubuntu2 (karmic .deb) but same symptom
occurs.
I tried to use various color depth, disable sound, disable disk mapping,
run only "rdesktop $ip", disable Compiz, disable multi-screen, stop all
sounds events and playing music.
When I connect to hosts in the same LAN, it work perfectly and I can't
reproduce the problem. These hosts are Windows 7 and Windows SBS and not
Windows XP.
It look like bug 81854, but it never acted like this in Karmic.
