I believe that there is a genuine problem with rdesktop, but also with gnome. I use CISCO vpn, that might be the cause of rdesktop crashing, however rdesktop not only crashes but locks the mouse and keyboard inputs, even when the focus is not on the rdesktop window. The system becomes completely frozen and the only "local solution" is to manually reset.
FYI, this is being looked at the following bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdesktop/+bug/81854 -- rdesktop freezes shortly after successful connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
