Failed to connect to server: "The client you are connecting with is too old. Please update your client."

Hi,

I just did an update to Ubuntu 10.04, and when I start rdsconsole, I
get the following message:

Failed to connect to server: "The client you are connecting with is
too old. Please update your client."

Any ideas what happened?

Is rdsconsole running on the same computers as your Resara Server? If not, you should update rdsconsole. If so, it's possible rdsconsole was not updated properly. Run this command in the console and see what happens.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install rdsconsole

Hi,

Yup. I ssh -X into the server and run rdsconsole from there.

I did an aptitude update and an aptitude safe-upgrade

root@resara:~# aptitude upgrade

I really don't know what could be causing this. How exactly are you running rdsconsole?

And wouldn't you know it. Today it works. I tried multiple times on
Friday, with no success, just the error.

I'm thinking now that I may have tried from the same shell I did the
update on, while today I started a new ssh session. Is it possible
something in bash's environment changed?

I'm not sure. I wouldn't think so, but I guess anythings possible:)
