BTW, while troubleshooting I connected to this new desktop using RDP and it had a disconnect nearly right out of the hop. It dawned on me, however, that I might want to fiddle with the network connection options. I wonder whether I switched to WAN if that will make the RDP client more tolerant of issues? #
  • Today will be my first full work day using the new Ubuntu and KDE Plasma remote desktop container connecting using Rust Desk. Let's see how this goes.#
  • I've made it through most of the work day and did not experience one disconnect while using Rust Desk. I did see some video display sheer, but that seem to go away when I switched from teh VP9 codec it defaults to to the VP8 codec. More troubling is the strange keyboard behavior. #
  • I use the Logitech MX Keys keyboard that is a near standard keyboard with a numeric keypad. By near standard I mean that in between the QWERTY keyboard and numeric keypad is a section of keys for page up, page down, home, end, insert, delete, and arrow keys that is not recognized in Chrome. I have to un-lock the numeric keypad and use the equivalent functions on it. However, this behavior does not exist when I am in the Readwise Reader app, in that app (browser tab) the "middle" Page Up and Page Down keys work and the numeric keypad is always numbers no matter when or not it is locked. I've also found that the Page Up/Down sequence of Command+Up Arrow and Command+Down Arrow doesn't work from the Mac OS client on the Macbook Pro, which I find really surprising.#
  • Rust Desk is not very well documented. There are many options once connected that I don't understand and so far I haven't seen documentation about how to find out what they are. #
