The above is true (that Vinagre has less protocol functionality than TSClient), it's also true that it seems slower and less stable (even moreso when running "tightvnc", rather than "vnc4viewer"). On top of all this, it also has no visible option for overloading keypresses in a "keygrab-like" behavior, which makes administering remote systems more difficult.
I noticed that Hardy final ships with "Vinagre" and "tightvnc" by default now; and "tsclient" and "vnc4viewer" have been removed. I'm just wondering if it was a result of this bug, which is still marked as both new and undecided. It may have been that someone took this bug as read when doing some kind of package change, though unlikely. In either case, though, this one should probably be resolved, since "tsclient" has been removed from Hardy. On another note, I'm assuming there was some compelling thought process behind the replacement; but can't seem to find anything. I'll make a case for backing the default shipped packages back, if only because it adds more protocols to new Ubuntu users... but not until I know what the rational behind the replacement might be. Could be a good one. So, anyone know how this decision was reached, off hand? -- remove tsclient from hardy as it duplicates the functionnality of vinagre https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210219 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
