rdesktop and copy/paste on remote machine

_saiko · 2008-05-13 22:27:15

hello,
Connecting to win 2003 server from my arch.
Just noticed i can't copy/paste anymore when using rdesktop (had 1.5.0, tried both 1.6.0 and cvs).
I copy something, and then want to paste it, nothing happens. Right click gives me grayed out paste options.
Works fine with windows rdp.
Asked a friend who alse has rdesktop (says 1.5.0) and for him it works fine.
So it obviously is something with my setup.
I could swear it worked fine before.
Regular -Syu user here
so god knows when this happend and what's the reason.
Anyone encountered similar issue?

many thanks

$ rdesktop --help
         '-r clipboard:[off|PRIMARYCLIPBOARD|CLIPBOARD]': enable clipboard
                      redirection.
                      'PRIMARYCLIPBOARD' looks at both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
                      when sending data to server.
                      'CLIPBOARD' looks at only CLIPBOARD.

Maybe 1.6.0 turned it off by default?

gave me hope for a split second... but thats just the option to enable clipboard trasnmission between local and remote.
My problem is cimpletely with remote side. The clipboard doesn't work on remote side.

I'd try any get in touch with upstream and see if this is a bug. Sounds like something definitely changed between 1.5.0 and 1.6.0.

like i said... it's not the problem with version 1.6.0
