Hello SunRay-Users,
While using Sun Rays to access a Windows environment we have
encountered a nasty feature: if there's an application which
has a lot of screen updates, the session effectively locks up
until that app has finished its business. There doesn't seem
to be a reasonable way to break it.
Example: we use ssh (Secure Shell 3.2.9 by www.ssh.com to be
exact, but a similar effect happens with Windows telnet, cmd,
etc.). We log in to a system and `ls` some large directory.
Or run `configure` or `make` on a project. There's a lot of
lines of text to paint, and until they are all rendered, we
can't do much with the RDP client (the whole user session in
effect). Sending Ctrl+C doesn't help (it seems to lose its
special priority), we can't minimize the ssh console window
(unless we prepend `make` with a `sleep`). If we do manage to
minimize it, there's no such lag.
We had similar problems with MSTSC, an RDP client from Windows
2000, but it only occurred on very large-and-fast screen flushes
and we were usually able to minimise the ssh console, and/or the
Ctrl+X combo worked. If not, minimizing-maximizing the RDP client
window helped it complete the display updates in the background.
In fact, I couldn't reproduce this problem with it now using the
same Windows server by MSTSC, which gives problems when packaged
into rdesktop/uttsc + X11 + SunRay protocol. To be honest, I have
not yet tried the "bitmap updates" mode of rdesktop with this.
So, I believe the problem is somewhere in the latter stack of
protocols and software implementations.
Has anybody had it? Are there ready solutions (server-config tweaks
perhaps, or RDP client command line params) or submitted RFEs?

Hi
Is it not the case that SRC converts RDP directly to SunRay Protocols
rather than going through X?
No, that is not the case currently. We do use X still. This is an
optimization which we may consider in the future.
One thing I that rdesktop can do that I don't think SRC currently offers
is the ablity to conect to the console of a Windows Server.
SRC can do this in version 1.1 .. Check the new "-s" option.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] SunRay Connector for Windows?
1) Sun developers have access to the MS RDP Spec, thus Sun will get
advanced notice of RDP changes (vs. Reverse Engineered)
2) It fully supports smart card redirection (vs a 3rd party patch)
3) You can call a 1-800 number for support
Probably a few others. RDesktop is a great project and I use it a lot.
Problem is there are some customers that will not use open source
software. These folks wanted Sun to indemnify them if they used
RDesktop.

What benefit does SRC have over rdesktop then? Am I missing something?

Hi John,
The user needs to do something, whether that is through a launcher
they
click on or a command line they run. If you want the Sun Ray to
automatically run the connector, you can do so with Controlled Access
Mode.

Does this boot into a rdp session without any user intervention or

need the user to supply a command?
