What's up with #Remmina on #Ubuntu? I have weird typing issues (duplicate characters, etc.). Switched to plain #FreeRDP and then all is well.

It did take me a while to find out what the command line is. Why on earth is the display version as a prefix? Why not a suffix? =)) xfreerdp3 vs wlfreerdp3 vs sdl-freerdp3 etc. and how am i supposed to know, that wlfreerdp3 isn't good? Neither is the SDL version. In the end the X11 version works like a charm on Wayland... go figure...

Hey R.L. Dane,

as per your OP in this thread, I've been using #Remmina for years. X2Go, RDP, WhatEv really floats yer boat ⛵ , it's there.

Uh, oh, I feel a tangent coming on... Okay not to hijack your thread, but maybe you can offer a bit of your perspective on flatpak vs appimage alternatives, since I don't prefer either, and usually will go out of my way to create a native package for WhatEv distro I'm using if it doesn't exist, or just compile from source rawdawg if need be like I did with #Zed (which only impresses me because of Git integration and Vim bindings; and it's Rust) - Jury's still out on that one though.

Anyway, I just broke down and installed a flatpak for the #LaGrange browser because I got a bit lazy and didn't wanna make the .deb for myself.

Okay, back to your situation...

Remmina HERE is pretty comprehensive with the native package managers with ready to go .deb's for #Forky & Sid, #SlackBuild for #Slackware, #FreeBSD & #OpenBSD ports, #Devuan, #Gentoo, #Guix, and #Kali just to name some.

It's pretty straight-forward and a single package to accommodate a plethora of methodologies so you can use it as your Varsity first string go-to in a pinch most of the time.

Even better, is the fact that they don't have an ewb00ntew maintainer, lolz... Coz frinds don't let frinds run ewb00tew :p

@ayukawa you can use #Remmina which supports #RDP as client.

  • #xrdp used to support that feature if I'm not mistaken...

I'm having a weird issue with #remmina RDP under #Ubuntu #Linux 24 LTS where my AltGr keypresses are not registering with the RDP host. Keyboard layout is fine (Swedish, 0x000004D1) and special characters work, but not AltGr+8 to type an opening bracket "[" etc. It's set to capturing all keyboard events already, but it only makes a difference for the Win key, not the AltGr key. I read somewhere that Weyland might intercept the AltGr keypresses before they're even sent to Remmina, is this true?

Incredible - I just managed to remote connect to my #Win10 computer from my #ZorinOS (Linux) computer with absolutely no setup or debugging time involved (with #Remmina, which was pre-installed) ❤️

#Linux things have definitely improved greatly in the past 5 years!

Remmina wirft dir für jede Session ein neues Fenster um die Ohren?
Es geht auch ordentlich: Ein kleiner Eintrag in der Config oder ein kurzer gsettings-Befehl, und schon läuft alles brav in Tabs – übersichtlich, platzsparend und endlich ohne Fenster-Tetris.

@cameron_bosch I began testing 26.04 in April, switched from FreeBSD to Kubuntu with Wayland in July. For me, it's perfectly stable.

HP ZBook 17 G2 with Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (4th generation Core processor integrated graphics controller), and an NVIDIA GK107GLM (Quadro K1100M).

Four minor issues, which I have not taken the time to properly investigate or report.

1/ Wayland: popped-out Firefox tabs disappear from task managers and window lists : r/kde – <reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1mi2>.

2/ when I use NVIDIA for two 1920 x 1080 Philips displays on DisplayPort, one of which is rotated 90 degrees: rendering is imperfect in applications such as Remmina (most noticeable as flickering with RDP connections to Windows) and Microsoft Teams PWA (in Chromium). I imagine that this relates to llvmpipe/nouveau.

3/ If I start or restart the notebook with its case closed, docked with the two Philips displays, then the GRUB menu does not appear.

4/ Night Light works with Wayland, but not with X.Org for the NVIDIA GPU.

HiDPI in is a great way to easily spot interesting performance issues.

I tried out to to a laptop that has a 4K display, and discovered that it's extremely slow compared to connecting to that same machine:

* High CPU usage when the window is focused and idle (no mouse cursors moving, no animations)
* The client-moved cursor lags on the remote host
* Moving windows lags a lot

Reported as:
* gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c
* gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c

It shows a lot of costly calls to Cairo.A screenshot of Sysprof's "Marks" view when GNOME Connections moves windows on a gnome-remote-desktop host that runs on a 4K display.

anyone know if it's possible to do the dynamic resolution update toggle with #remmina when connecting to a #gnome #rdp machine? it seems to work fine with me for windows.

trying to figure out how to get a better display size out of my laptop when viewing it from my desktop.

Seriously, if I was #LinusSebastian of #LinusTechTips I'd literally choose to #donate the cost of a #TeamViewer #subscription to #FLOSS #RemoteDesktop projects like #Dayon instead and sue TeamViewer into upholding their contract or a full refund with interest as if it was a loan because clearly they chose violate that contract on their own terms and initiative!

youtube.com/watch?v=RT1t1JlZug

And yes, Dayon! is awesome and I can fully recommend this as an alternative to TeamViewer, #AnyDesk, etc.

retgal.github.io/Dayon/

  • For any system that needs Remote Access as unattended I'd recommend to setup a #VPN or at least a Reverse-#SSH connection anyway so one can launch something like Dayon! by just sending a single command and have #RemoteDesktop access on-demand.

So yeah, TeamViewer literally shot themselves in the foot here by deciding to shaft paying customers who were able and willing to pay the absurd prices you asked for for a one-time license.

  • Also whilst TeamViewer does OFC maintain some infrastructure, most what they do is basically run a "rendrevous"-Server to allow two endpoints behind NATs to connect to each other and exchange details to make UPnP-style hole-punching work.

That's traffic in the single-digit megabytes per year and client, as there's not much between as clients pinging their server and basically boing some simple handshakes.

  • And as Linus said it's not his problem if they gotta have to keep systems up and running in perpetuity. They offered that deal and now they have to suffer through it! By paying the obligations are on to TeamViewer to make it work and continue to make it work!

Also if I'm on a #LAN why would I want to use TeamViewer and not any #VNC (or god forbid #RDP) server? THE WHOLE POINT OF USING TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. IS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NATs, FIREWALLS AND IP-ADDRESSES AND JUST GET CONNECTED FFS!!!

  • Personally I use #Remmina and Dayon, but that's because Remmina is comfortable even for SSH and can do that as well as RDP & VNC and Dayon is just the simple option I can walktrough people that need #TechSupport #remote|ly for a quick hands-on...

Definitely my recommendation because it also allows for any use-cases and doesn't nag one to "buy a license!"

  • So please someone please let #Linus know about Dayon so he can do a "TeamViewer alternatives" video...

Модуль VNC Remmina: тонкая настройка кодирования и других параметров

Мне не удалось найти в Интернете документацию по настройкам этого модуля, предложенным в графическом интерфейсе Remmina. Я разбирался как устроен VNC, собирал информацию по разным уголкам Интернета и проверял путём экспериментов. Я запишу сюда в удобном формате то что узнал, на случай если кто-то тоже будет это искать.

Schau dir für die RDP-Verbindung #remmina (remmina.org/) an!
Bezüglich VPN müsstest du wissen, welches Protokoll benutzt wird.

Quick update on my journey with the #debian #linux migration for my daily driver. I had so far been able to get everything in my normal workflow working with little effort and little time to experiment until I figured the solutions out. I got #keepassxc , #virtualbox , and #steam set up as well as my privacy tools and #remmina set up for remote connections to my server. However, today, I loaded my cloned virtual infrastructure into the virtualbox instance on the new OS, and found that I couldn't get the guest additions shared folder capability to work as it did on Windows. After a couple hours of trying to get this to work, I decided that I would just do it the old fashioned way and use scp to transfer files from the VM to my server.

Even after the trouble today and the other mild inconveniences, there's no question about which OS I like more between Debian 12 and Windows 11 for daily use. The best part is the extra feeling of freedom I get from knowing that on top of having full autonomy over the hardware (I built this PC), I now have full autonomy on the software side and can customize the OS or even load a different distro if I ever find something more attractive!

I would fully recommend migrating to Linux for anyone that is unhappy with the recent developments in the Windows ecosystem, especially if they're thinking of buying new hardware because Windows doesn't support their PC.

flatpak from gnome software store app is somewhat funky, sometimes not working right. It seems better install directly from flathub.org

#Ubuntu und #Snap ist ein Shice.

Da bietet Ubuntu per Snap #Remmina an.
Ich mach einen Installah... und dann verhindert apparmor dass dieser Shice läuft.

Das ist ungefähr so wie in neues Auto zu verkaufen bei dem die Handbremse angezogen verschweißt ist... Irgendwie kriegt man es zum Laufen... aber als Kunde denkst dir "Ob bei denen der Lift noch ganz nach oben fährt, ist wohl auch nicht gewiss?"

Bojoval jsem s #Remmina při připojování k #VNC v novějších verzích Raspberry Pi OS (např. Bookworm) který teď používá výchozí šifrování, které Remmina nepodporuje. Původně jsem chtěl editovat VNC server na #RPi, ale nakonec jsem usoudil, že je to nesmysl a prostě jen nainstaloval #RealVNC do #Fedora a ten to vyřešil. Nevíte někdo jak to bude s Remminou dále? Bude aktualizována, nebo už ne?
