RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
During the creating of Windows terminal service connection is tsclient there is an option to set color depth (in Advanced Options section). But after setting this option is completely ignored - there is no flag in rdesktop command
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tsclient-2.0.2-7.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start tsclient from terminal (you will see runtime messages/commands)
2. edit/create a Windows Terminal Service connection and set color depth to e.g. 8
3. start connection
Actual results:
the runtime command message in terminal has no mention about color depth (flag '-a' in rdesktop)
Expected results:
flag "-a" in rdesktop command and proper color depth in remote connection
Additional info:
it looks like the color depth option is no even saved - the color depth option has default value (24) every time i try to edit the connection
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
It works for me correctly with the following version:
tsclient-2.0.2-10.el6.i686
Chosen color depth is saved in:
/home/$USER/.config/tsclient/connections/*.tsc
Chosen color depth is shown in edit connection dialog.
rdesktop commandline has -a with chosen color depth.
It seems it has been already fixed by Bug 798631.
