Newer version of rdesktop....??Forum: DSL Ideas and Suggestions Topic: Newer version of rdesktop....?? started by: cgeller Posted by cgeller on Oct. 20 2003,17:28
Thanks for such a great piece of software! �Great stuff and I'm slowly learning......One request I have would be for a newer version of rdesktop for the CD-run version. �I think �the newer version of rdesktop will support more than 8 bit color. �When I connect to my termserver, I can only get 8 bit right now. �16 would be nice. I might try and do a hard drive install, but I'm not too sure how to upgrade stuff yet. Thanks again. �Chuck Posted by Dakrone on Oct. 20 2003,19:51
...Try doing an apt-get install rdesktop and if that doesn't work try doing an apt-get remove rdesktop and then installing it again to get the newest version Posted by cgeller on Oct. 21 2003,12:07
Dakrone - thanks for the help. The install option didn't work with an error stating " Package rdesktop has no available version.....mentioned in a dependancy.......obsoleted, etc. When I tried the remove option, the error said "..not installed, so not removed". But it IS there......But to be honest, I'd rather be able to run the entire DSL package from a CD if possible. Maybe the next time a version is put out, it will include the newer rdesktop. Thanks again for your time and patience. Chuck |
