Re: [opensuse] KRFB fails handling RDP connections

I am not sure what this may be, but, personally, I'd start by checking the port-level connectivity. According to Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol

the service runs on TCP port 3389, so you can use telnet to check connectivity. Then, if there's none, I'd look at what may be to blame (server down, firewall issues, etc.)

This is a weird one...

I have two workstations running openSUSE 10.3 (x86_64). I have added a few repositories (i.e. Packman) but nothing unusual or out of the ordinary. Both are x86_64 - one is a laptop (Core 2 Duo) and one is a desktop (EM64T single core).

Suddenly, KRDC won't do RDP connections (on either). I didn't change anything (at least I don't remember changing anything). It'll do VNC just fine. The RDP gets past the preferences setting and then just hangs (just before the actual screen opens).

Now, what's funny is that I can "rdesktop hostname" and it works fine. I just can't get to it via KRDC.

What really sucks is that I use the KIO slave from the "run" box... so it's been an adjustment to do this the other way.

I've reloaded the RPM containing krdc, but to no avail.

rpm -qa | grep krdc

ALso any error that you are getting. Is krdc crashing? Can you run from command line and see what happens when it fails. also output of: rpm -qa | grep qt

THanks

No, krdc never crashes. It gives me the address box. I type "rdp://hostname". I click OK. I get the preferences window. I click connect, and then it just sits there, "establishing connection..."

Running from command line: *** WARNING *** The programme 'krdc' uses the Apple Bonjour compatiblity layer of Avahi. *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! *** WARNING *** For more information see http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=krdc current depth: 0 Color depth: 8

It just sits there forever until I xkill it.

Interestingly, 'rpm -qa | grep krdc' gives me nothing. But I can obviously run krdc. It's there. I can run rdesktop, as I said, with no problems.

rpm -qa | grep qt gives me this: qt3-3.3.8-76.2 qt3-devel-doc-3.3.8-76 yast2-qt-2.15.16-19 libqt4-x11-4.3.1-23.4 avahi-qt3-0.6.20-40 qtcurve-gtk2-32bit-0.52.3-31 libqt4-dbus-1-4.3.1-23.4 dbus-1-qt3-devel-0.62-110.1 pinentry-qt-0.7.2-1 qt3-devel-tools-3.3.8-76 libqt4-4.3.1-23.4 dbus-1-qt3-32bit-0.62-110.1 libqtpod-0.3-86 qtemu-1.0.4-2.3 poppler-qt-0.5.4-101.2 qtcurve-gtk2-0.55.0-3.2 qt3-devel-3.3.8-76.2 libqt4-sql-mysql-4.3.2-6.1 qt3-32bit-3.3.8-76.2 qtcurve-kde-0.55.2-3.6 yast2-control-center-qt-2.15.4-12 libqt4-qt3support-4.3.1-23.4 dbus-1-qt3-0.62-110.1 python-qt-3.17.3-18 libqt4-sql-4.3.1-23.4

This isn't a port or firewall issue. If that were the case I would be unable to use the rdesktop binary from the command line. I can successfully use rdesktop from my machine to the other machines with no problem.

Moreover, my workstation (and the machines I'm trying to connect to) have no firewall in place (we're in a small office and the office itself is heavily firewalled/guarded). Long story short, this isn't a connectivity problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
