Hmmmm where do I start Tested all this in 2 dell laptops and one lenovo, tested using ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04 alpha 4.
symptoms: rdesktop session stops responding to key/mouse input eventually crashing gnome.Hmmmm where do I start Tested all this in 2 dell laptops and one lenovo, tested using ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04 alpha 4. Common factors : All use gnome desktop/rdesktop 1.6.0/all have intel iwl3945 (but did buy an atheros card and tried it as well). All rdesktop connections are over pptp vpn connection. all connect via command prompt What goes wrong: rdesktop randomly freezes (anything from 1 second to max of about 20min), no input via keyboard or mouse has any effect on the rdp session. What I have tested: Ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04A4 / Fedora 10 and Opensuse 11.1 all exhibit same problem. Observations: a wired pc running Ubuntu 7.04 runs 100% (running rdp 1.5.0) a wired xp pro sp2 desktop PC works 100% fine when rdesktop freezes if i am dont close it quickly it brings the whole of gnome down in a hardlock the vpn tunnel is still fully operational during rdesktop freeze (I can ping PCs on remote lan/admin remote router and if i immediatley restart rdesktop it connects and works fine for 1sec to 20min as normal) I came up with the bright idea (or desperate) of using XP Pro in a virtualised environment with ubuntu providing the vpn tunnel, guess what IDENTICAL behaviour, ie after random time xp remote desktop stops responding in the same manner. Eventually comes up with error "the connection was ended because of a network error".

Eventually comes up with error "the connection was ended because of a network error". If i try to setup/connect vpn tunnel in virt xp, it timesout with error 721 remote computer did not respond. not sure, but i think this is a flaw in linux networking but posted it here for others apraisal i have been troubleshooting this for over 2 months now and am sooooooooooooo frustrated :( -- Rdesktop cousing system freeze when using Cisco VPN client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
