Remmina not working with Windows 10 RDP anymore

Linux@lemmy.ml – 28 points – 6 months ago

Hi guys, Remmina won't connect to a windows 10 PC via RDP anymore. It worked until I upgraded to Fedora 39 (I think, maybe its something different though). I cannot see anything in the logs indicating what the error might be. I tried messing with the settings, particularly the TLS and Gateway ransport type settings, but that didn't change anything. It is not timing out eigher, the disconnect is nearly instant.

had issues with Remmima and Win 10 last week - worked around it by using xfreerdp directly at the command line. this is what I use from a linux command line to set the resolution and sound (audio-mode:1 is same as Remmima local sound, or supposed to be)

xfreerdp /w:1680 /h:1050 /u: /audio-mode:1 /v: /sound /microphone

this keeps all audio local on the system, which is what I need.

Remmima was working fine until I messed with the settings to see if I could have both local and remote audio with RDP (you can't) and then I could not get the local audio back no matter what I did - tried deleting profile, reinstalling, etc. Nothing worked until invoking xfreerdp directly. Been flawless since then.

I'll try that later today

great - I'd be interested to hear if this works for you.

using xfreerdp directly did work. Now I just have to find out how to get this working with remmina again, so the UX is not that bad...

What's in the log on the Windows side?

Where can I find them? I honestly didn't think of that 😅

Event log, probably application and security logs. I think there's a separate RDP log in the event viewer tree too, but I'm not sure if it's used.

Solution: the RPM Fedora version did work, the version from Flathub or the Fedora flatpack repo did not work. I guess the flatpack versions don't have the most recent xfreerdp version? I don't really know...

Glad you got it sorted. The flatpak version for me suggests it's no longer maintained so I switched to the RPM as well fairly recently

Sorry folks was too busy today, maybe I'll get to it tomorrow, but I don't know. Might take til saturday for me to try your suggestions, but I am very thankful for every reply I got

the disconnect is nearly instant.

I recently experienced this. I'm thinking it could be a lot of things, but when I logged into the device through the hypervisor I got a domain controller trust issue error. Can you login locally to the device and check for errors?

(DEBUG) - (remmina_rdp_main) - Resolution set by the user: 588x620 (DEBUG) - (remmina_rdp_main) - Resolution set after workarounds: 644x620

Also maybe try with a standard resolution? Although I wouldn't expect this to terminate the session it might be worth testing.

Will do later today

this sadly didn't work

I can login via windows remotedesktop just fine...

Did you have a saved password? It may have cleared the save without telling you.

Yes I did. But shouldn't it then have a log message or the UI telling me that the password is wrong?

It should, yes. But in my experience it doesn’t always. Clear the saved password and re-enter it and see if that helps.

You can try anydesk... Other than that idk how to help
