Description of problem: rdesktop will hang after it stops playing a long audio stream. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -q rdesktop rdesktop-1.5.0-2.fc7 How reproducible: Connect to a Windows computer using rdesktop and listen to something like pandora.com over the connection (start rdesktop with a command like 'rdesktop 192.168.1.5 -r sound:local -u username -p password') Pause the audio, or close the browser; once rdesktop catches up and stops playing the audio the window will freeze. If rdesktop was started on a terminal you will see an endless loop of 'ERROR: select: Bad file descriptor' Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to a server using rdesktop, similar to the method described above, and start listening to internet radio. 2. Let it play for several minutes. 3. Pause the music or close the browser Actual results: rdesktop hangs Expected results: rdesktop continues to function normally. Additional info: This problem has been fixed in rdesktop CVS (http://rdesktop.cvs.sourceforge.net/rdesktop/rdesktop/rdpsnd_oss.c?view=log version 1.30). Request fix be included in future releases of Fedora
Created attachment 160786 [details] Patch to resolve 'Error: select: Bad file descriptor" in 1.5.0 Used patch at http://osdir.com/ml/network.rdesktop.cvs/2006-11/msg00011.html as a reference for changes to make in order to resolve the issue.
The current CVS build plays audio quite choppy. Compared to 1.5.0 where performance is nearly flawless, this is a definite step back. I used the patch mentioned in the comment above to modify the 1.5.0 code just enough to resolve the issue. The attachment is the patch for the changes I made. In the short bit of testing I've had a chance to do it seems to resolve the issue, while maintaining the same performance.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
