RHBA-2014:0524 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated tsclient packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The Terminal Server Client (tsclient) is a GTK2 front end that makes it easy to
use the Remote Desktop Protocol client (rdesktop) and vncviewer utilities.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the tsclient user interface did not offer an option to set the

32-bit color depth in the "Advanced Options" menu for the "Windows Terminal
Service" connection type. Consequently, the 32-bit color depth could not be
selected even though it was supported on the system, and connection to Windows
systems could not be established with more than 16-bit color depth. With this
update, the error in the "Advanced Options" menu has been fixed, and the 32-bit
color depth option now functions as intended. (BZ#798631)

• Prior to this update, tsclient was not fully compatible with the Remote

Desktop Protocol (RDP). Consequently, tsclient could, under certain
circumstances, terminate unexpectedly when the user was connected to a remote
system over RDP. This update addresses the problems with RDP compatibility, and
tsclient no longer crashes when using RDP for remote connection. (BZ#848526)

Users of tsclient are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
