This has been an on-going issue. I haven't been able to copy/paste through rdesktop reliably for over a decade.
For me, I usually have to make sure my user account is logged out of the Windows server (i.e. don't click the 'x' to end your session, instead hit start->logoff) and then I sign back in. If it's broken, that has a ~50% chance of fixing it for me. I eventually got so sick and tired of dealing with it, I did three things: 1 - Set up VPN tunnels to all my client networks so I no longer have to RDP in for a handful of use-cases (copying/pasting info to web forms for example) 2 - Installed a Windows VM under VirtualBox so I could copy/paste when I absolutely had to do it over RDP. 3 - Installed xfreerdp which allows me to copy/paste, but seems to crash from time to time when connecting to newer Windows servers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to remmina in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439478 Title: Critical bug - Copy and Paste not Working in 15.04 Status in remmina package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Remmina is probably one of the top 3 Linux applications "I need working right" to efficiently complete my work day. So, I consider it a critical bug that "copy and pasting" between "local and remote desktops" is not working in the 15.04 beta 2. This is one of those things, where if this is not fixed, I will have to return to Ubuntu 14.04, or figure out a way to install a version of Remmina that actually works correctly in 15.04. This bug has reared its ugly head before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/remmina/+bug/937522 However, the status of that bug seems to be practically closed, so that's the reason for this new posting. I want to do all I can to get this bug the attention it needs. Remmina is crucial for my work. I'm currently dealing with the fact that it crashes a few times a day, but this "copy and paste not working" is a real deal-breaker for me to stay on 15.04.
