Problem Remote Desktop (Terminal Server Client) - copy and paste between PC's

Asked by hassan manji

Hi - I am using Ubuntu 9.04 Terminal Server Client to remote desktop into my Windows XP Machine.

The problem is that I cannot copy data back and forth between my local session (ie a browswer or open office on my Ubuntu Machine) to my applications that I am running on the remote desktop.

Sometimes copy/paste works - but its intermitant and I can't seem to see a pattern.

I need to have copy / paste working both ways - more for data - and not necessarily for complete files.

Any help appreciated.

Thx

Hassan

Does that mean that is a known fault, and no current fix available?

Is there some other application that I can use like a shared clipboard etc or some settings that will allow the data to be copy/pasted between different machines?

I've logged a bug as suggested - so is that as far as it can go?

Yes, if you've logged a bug-report then it will get triaged and eventually a developer will look into it and write either a patch or a full update. they may need help with trying to re-produce the error at their end but they will ask you for further info if needed. Helping with triaging can be good fun and is a good way to help the wider community, it's not always appreciated of course lol

Have you tried other packages such as VNC? (sorry i don't know much about all this networking stuff)
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Can you help with this problem?
