KRDC Not Capturing Keys Using RDP

English Applications

I can’t seem to figure out the secret to send ctrl-alt-del to a remote Windows box using KRDC 4.4.4. Tried in windowed and full screen mode - no difference. Tried enabling “Grab All Possible Keys” in KRDC tool bar - nope. In all cases, ctrl-alt-del and alt-tab are sent to localhost.

There are some mentions of a “config special keys dialog” for KDRC in a few places, though I don’t actually find this anywhere in KRDC itself. Documentation for KRDC at the KDE site is very minimalistic.

This should be super simple, but I can’t quit seem to get it. Any suggestions?

Try Control + Windows Key (between Control and Alt) + Alt + Delete :slight_smile:

Thank you, I tried it (both windowed and full screen) but no success.

Go to KDE Settings (Configure Desktop) -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Global Keyboard Shortcts -> Set the KDE component dropdown to “The KDE Session Manager” and change “Log Out” to None. Then click Apply. Then in full screen KRDC you should be able to go plain Control + Alt + Delete

Brilliant - this was indeed under the Global Keyboard Shortcuts, Run Command Interface component, and I am now able to send the signal to the RDP guests.

I never knew that was there in the KDE config manager, thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you,

I got same problem but Ctrl+Alt+Del does not reboot my VDS but exit to the Windows Server Logon screen. Im trying to use extra hot keys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key but here is problem I cant reboot VDS in KRDC because of I reboot myself AND I cant find this combo’s on Keyboard Hotkeys in KDE settings…

How I can solve the prob?
