[SOLVED] krdc "the entered address does not have the required form"

[kgoess]

Does krdc work for anybody? "rdesktop 192.168.1.238" works fine, but all krdc tells me is "the entered address does not have the required form", I've tried different variations on:

192.168.1.238
rdp:/192.168.1.238
rdp://192.168.1.238
rdp://192.168.1.238:5900
Username@192.168.1.238

What format is it expecting for the address?

The manual is no help. It says there should be a drop-down box for the protocol after "Connect to:" which I don't have. There are two hosts on the auto-discover list, but clicking on either of them produces "The entered address cannot be handled."

This is on Kubuntu 10.04.1

you absolutely should have a connect to w/ a drop down as that is how the program decides on what protocall to use. try to remove the config file for krdc (its the file ~/.kde/share/config/krdcrc) that "connect to:" combobox is here on my 10.04 machine (w/ kde 4.5.3) and has been there as long as i can remember using the kde4 version of krdc. i know that not the answer your looking for, sorry about that.

Ah, that's *exactly* what I needed to know. Removing that file did the trick, dunno why since afaict it just had a [MainWindow] section the same as it does now. Thanks a lot!
