[xfce] GUI RDP client in repos (not reminna)?

http://ubuntuforums.org – It looks like KRDC isn't awful, but I'm really disappointed with Remmina (after trying to work with it since April), and I'm equally disappointed that tsclient is unsupported. Remmina couldn't be more buggy with weird placement bugs, window sizing issues, random disconnects (with no attempt to reconnect), and random keyboard non-responsiveness (which also requires reconnect or worse); it's gotten to the point that, in my trying to accommodate it, I find myself becoming uncomfortably angry. So, it's time to ditch remmina. Vinagre almost looks attractive except that it is also plagued with (Hardware)

Until sometime last night, I had remmina working fine. I could run RDP through an SSH tunnel and all was well.

Then it stopped working. I can get as far as the password dialog for my work machine, but then it just says "Cannot connect to RDP server localhost".

I can't even find any logs that look interesting.

Remmina 1.0 problems 37 weeks 8 hours ago

I downloaded, compiled remmina and freerdp from the source repositories. Unlikely I am having troubles in RDP connections. When I initiate any RDP connection from Remmina, Remmina is closed immidialtely.

I tried to open freerdp from terminal, it worked like a charm. I tried to open remmina from terminal to check errors.

Hi. I'm on Precise using the standard Remmina from the repoes, but it's got some annoying window placement bugs. I tested Quantal, and discovered that the bugs have been fixed in the version shipped with Quantal. In both version of Remmina, under "About", it's the same version number, "0.9.99.1". Why don't they put the "fewer bugs version" in Precise, or how can I

The tsclient application used to work for opening .rdp files, Remmina does not seem to work the same way. Does KRDC, Remote Desktop Viewer or some other application work? Using Precise Pangolin (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS). Used tsclient successfully on 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) by associating /usr/bin/tsclient.

Remmina autostart not working 21 weeks 5 days ago

In the settings of remmina, I ticked the box which says that the taskbar icon should start automatically. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work, I have to start remmina manually.

In 12.04 this worked, any idea why?

I want to try Ubuntu 12.04 and test remmina RDP viewer (I hear it is a good one). However I am in no mood to download the DVD. Does remmina come in the CD download? Can someone confirm?

PS: I do not have an internet connection on the system I need to try it on - just an internal network.

I have not changed Remmina preferences and suddenly, the keys 'b', 'd', 't', etc., were almost sending Super + key to the VM. So if I open a remote desktop session with Remmina, those keys do not work as normal. And suddenly the problem is gone and I can remember pressing Win/Super key with the VM on the foreground.

Remmina 是一个新进的 GTK+ 远程桌面客户端，提供了 RDP、VNC、XDMCP、SSH 等远程连接协议的支持。

这个客户端最大的优点在于界面清爽，方便易用，创建远程连接的界面与 Windows 自带的远程桌面十分相近。即使是熟习于 Windows 的朋友也不会感到陌生。

Using remmina with colemak 37 weeks 2 days ago

I'm trying to connect to a Windows server with remmina. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I use colemak as a keyboard layout locally.

When logging on to the Windows server my colemak keyboard layout is not mapped across. I have have ticked 'Use client keyboard mapping' in preferences, but this does not seem to make a difference...

Anyone aware of a workaround or something for this?

Cheers, Eugene.
