Bug#952636: grdesktop: calls rdesktop with wrong -k option if no kbd layout is selected
Package: grdesktop
Version: 0.23+d040330-3.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
using grdesktop to connect to another host on Debian Buster
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
grdesktop
enter a Computer hostname
click Execute
* What was the outcome of this action?
A warning message with the usage of rdesktop
* What outcome did you expect instead?
open a rdesktop session to the named host
Apparently rdesktop is called with option "-k" without required argument
if no keyboard layout is selected explicitely.
Maybe both grdesktop and rdesktop should be removed from Debian in favor
of xfreerdp and another GUI.
