Bug Description

I'm on 12.04 nightly updates. I've noticed that with remmina - when going into an RDP session, if the numlock is on, on my desktop - this does not get transfered to the rdp sesion. I have to press the numlock once in the rdp session. Then when I come out to the desktop, I have to press the numlock again.

This is happening at least using the RDP protocol.

This is happening to mee too.
The caps lock is not transmitted to the rdp session too.

This bug is also seen on the package provided by Arch Linux. Guess that brings this to upstream.

KDE Remote Desktop Client (KRDC) is not affected by this bug, but it doesn't depend on the libfreerdp1 lib.

Anyway, it's a good replacement for those who can't want for a fix.

I'm using Mint Maya and numlock behaviour is inverted: when it is on on my desktop it is off onto RDP remote and viceversa.

Hi.
Exactly the same problem with Ubuntu 12.04 like Dnafinder :(

This is also still a problem in the current 12.10 Remmina version - 1.0.0-1ubuntu8.

AWESOME, Denis! Your remmina packages from quantal install in precise and work perfectly to fix this bug. I haven't found any regressions using it in precise.

You have saved the sanity of my accounting department.

Denis,

We've had some odd issues with your package grabbing the keyboard and not letting go. Did you apply only this patch, or others?

Why hasn't the maintainer updated the package in the repository? This fix has been in the git branch 9 months ago...

you may check what was modified in this file

and compare it to this commit https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/commit/ab1ebb88518af97a036a6b243d7ff7d50ea02525
basically my patch add trivial function to sync num lock state on focus-in event, and nothing more.
if you have other problems you should have same problem with original ubuntu package.

>Why hasn't the maintainer updated the package in the repository?
