Thanks. I think we are quite there. I cleaned up the changelog from my
previous attempt which was unreleased and thus should not have a
separate changelog entry. So I merged the changes which are not
overriden by any change of yours into the current changelog paragraph.
I did some further lintian polishing. I also renamed xrdp.NEWS to
NEWS.Debian. I'm not sure how apt would deal with xrdp.NEWS and so to
be very sure that local admins are informed I used NEWS.Debian which is
displayed at install time.
The only remaining lintian issue is:
W: xrdp: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/xrdp/socksetup
I admit I'm not sure if this file will be executed and should get a
proper interpreter line or if it simply should made non-executable.
If you don't know we even can ignore this one.
My first attempt to connect from a windows machine to my test linux box
just brings up a ligthblue empty space (same color as xrdp login screen)
but no window manager or desktop environment (I'm using xfce by
default).
I definitely needed to install xorgxrdp as well to get my normal desktop
as usual. While on normal apt-get installs Recommends are installed I
wonder what alternative could bring up a sensible desktop otherwise and
what a user needs to to to activate this. If there is no such
alternative its probably better to use Depends: xorgxrdp rather than
Recommends.
One I've got the desktop connection I tested the keyboard in a normal
xterm. What should I say: No special German characters, other keys are
quite unexpected. I somehow feel back in the time where we were
desperately seeking a remote connection technique that has all the keys
printed on a German keyboard right on the remote computer. Any idea
how this could be fixed?
I also forced on the stable (Jessie) machine the actual Jessie version via
$ sudo apt-get install xrdp=0.6.1-2
and than tried
$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -i xrdp_0.9.0~20150902+gitc0ef543-1_amd64.deb
$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -i xrdp_0.9.0~20150902+gitc0ef543-1_amd64.deb

No idea in how far this is a "wrong permission". I needed to rm -rf this
dir to continue.
Hope these are solvable issues. Are you able to reproduce these or do
you need further information.
Kind regards
Andreas.
