I've got the same problem and have tried various combination of configs and versions of cisco vpn and rdesktop. Finally I believe I've found a workaroud. If I run vpnclient as a normal user, the issue occurs. But if I run it as root like 'sudo vpnclient connect <profile>' the rdesktop issue doesn't happen again.
I'm running 64-bit hardy with rdesktop 1.6.0, cisco vpn x86_64-4.8.01 with patches. -- rdesktop freezes shortly after successful connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
