Error Failed To Open Keymap En-us
a lot lately and I've been very displeased because the arrow keys, as well as del/ins/home/end/pgup/pgdown don't work. Of course, I've been too busy to even bother looking into it until today, although I wish I would've sooner. A simple little strace rdesktop-vrdp hostname 2> output.txt showed the following: open("/home/user/.rdesktop/keymaps/en-us", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/opt/VirtualBox/rdesktop-vrdp-keymaps/en-us", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("keymaps/en-us", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/user/.rdesktop/keymaps/en", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/opt/VirtualBox/rdesktop-vrdp-keymaps/en", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("keymaps/en", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The keymaps are all stored in /usr/share/virtualbox/rdesktop-vrdp-keymaps/ though, which this doesn't seem to be looking in. Why? Not sure for now, but I'll probably look into the why a little later. My quick solution was this: mkdir -p ~/.rdesktop/keymaps/ ln -s /usr/share/virtualbox/rdesktop-vrdp-keymaps ~/.rdesktop/keymaps And that's all there is to it! ‹ Running Scripts Using NetworkManager Triple Head with nVidia Optimus on Fedora 21 (includes Docking udev Rules for Systemd) › 4 thoughts on “Resolving the infamous rdesktop error: failed to open keymap en-us” Graham Pooler says: July 8, 2014 at 4:08 AM Many thanks for this. A simpler solution is: mkdir -p ~/.rdesktop ln -s /usr/share/virtualbox/rdesktop-vrdp-keymaps ~/.rdesktop/keymaps Uses less space and has the advantages that any map updates will be automatically available. Reply Drew Dahl says: December 17, 2014 at 1:32 AM You are correct! I think I was feeling a bit lazy the day I wrote this, although that's hardly an excuse for such a silly oversight. Thanks for the correction, Graham! Reply anv says: August 5, 2014 at 4:52 AM Better solution: mkdir -p ~/.rdesktop/ ln -s /usr/share/virtualbox/rdesktop-vrdp-keymaps ~/.rdesktop/keymaps Reply

But you'll probably also notice that the cursor keys and the Insert, Home, etc. keys don't work either. To fix this copy the contents of ./packages/keymaps-en_us/rdesktop/lib/kmaps to ./packages/keymaps-en_us/base/lib/kmaps in the build environment.
