New rDesktop (with new frontend) - Page 7 - maemo.org

Hmm.. this does not happen for me. How it acts is a bit weird, but it should add the window to the sidebar when you bring it out of fullscreen (it actually destroys and recreates the window, from what I can tell...). I'll look into this more tomorrow.

just wanted to say a huge thanks for the development on this, having it run in a non full screen is fantastic !

cheers, Will

now I upgraded to the new version, and it works!
the problem now is that the front end does not save the settings, and the audio not working, giving the following messaga: "WARNING: no working audio-driver found
".

I had this problem too -- in my case, the save function on the file menu works fine, but the little disk icon to the lower left doesn't seem to do anything.

Hmm, this is strange indeed. I am now getting the problems with bringing the rdesktop window out of fullscreen, so I'll look into that. Also, when I build rdesktop-cli on my computer, sound works fine, but it doesn't work when the autobuilder builds it. I'll look into this too. I have a feeling I'm missing a package needed to build sound support.

I've put a new version of pyrdesktop into extras, which fixes the buttons and adds icons to most of the menu items.

I hope you don't mind, I took a quick look as sound is important to me

. You already specify libasound2-dev as a build depend which is correct, but you may also need to specify libc6-dev manually (I'm not sure on that one, I'm pretty sure libc6-dev would be essential anyway, it provides /usr/include/sys/soundcard.h at least which the configure script checks for).

You may also wish to specify --with-sound manually in the rules file for ./configure.

qwerty12: Thanks. Are you looking in extras or extras-devel? I actually figured out the sound problem, and a version with sound fixed is in extras-devel. Right now, I'm trying to get rdesktop to show up in the task bar. I just don't understand why it used to work for me, but doesn't anymore...

suggestion: In the description of the app that shows up in application manager, it would help if you list the items that the release fixes (or adds). That way we know what features to test out.

I'm running pydesktop 1.3.2-2 and version 1.3.2-3 is available.
