By chance and from the coffee grounds i found, that when i set the "full address" to what i see in the "alternate full address" rdp file, remmina connects successful. However, to say, what happens then, appears weird to me, is a compliment. E.g. i get two buttons "Yes" and "No", but i have no idea, what the question is. After connecting i get a remote desktop with a size of 640x480, very unpleasant to work with. And i don't find any way to change the size of the remote desktop. xfreerdp works. Why is remmina, what appears anything but mature to me, favoured as default in the fedora setup ?!?!?!? FEDORA-2020-dd8c133829 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 31. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-dd8c133829 FEDORA-2020-a3ef998a70 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-a3ef998a70 This upstream abandoned package has finally been retired, all other packages have moved to FreeRDP 2.x. Nothing in Fedora or EPEL 7 require these libraries anymore. Sorry, closed the wrong ticket :) The Remmina update that has been pushed now to Bodhi can be tested to see if this bug is fixed. FEDORA-2020-dd8c133829 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-dd8c133829` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-dd8c133829 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2020-a3ef998a70 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-a3ef998a70` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-a3ef998a70 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.

remminas kiosk dialog with no obvious use
Regarding to what i reported, nothing has changed. When i start remmina with the rdp file that comes from the remotedesktop web page, a dialog opens, where i can enter username, domain and password. Afterwards i get the window shown in the attached screenshot remmina-cannot-connect.png and can only close it. (the screenshots are anonymized cause of privacy concerns) Then i edit the rdp file and copy the value of the parameter "alternate full address" to the parameter "full address", so they look alike: full address:s:myserver.mydomain.de alternate full address:s:myserver.mydomain.de Before, in "full address" there was the FQDN that can only be resolved within the domain behind the gateway. I would expect, remmina then takes the "alternate full address", what works with xfreerdp, but it does obviously not. Now with the official FQDN in the "full address" i get further. I get the window shown in the attached remmina-yes-no.png . Very helpful. What does it want from me ? (in the oranged-out parts there is only the server FQDN) When i press no, the next dialog will be the attached remmina-cannot-connect-tls.png that - again - i can only close. When i press YES in the yes-no-only-window, i get further. Remmina asks me to confirm the certificate, then a remote desktop opens, but with super-mini-screen. The complete window is visible in the attached remmina-rdp-fullscreen.png . The "desktop" size is i guess 640x480. Really ridiculous. It cannot be changed. Who can work with that ? The screen size cannot be changed by backend means. When i select the dialog from the desktop to set the screen resolution i get the message from windows, that from a remote session the resolution cannot be modified. When i start remmina without rdp file, i can navigate to a dialog to set possible screen resolutions, visible in the attached remmina-resolutions-dialog.png . It is explained nowhere, how to select from these. With the "Host key" + S nothing happens. When i add the arguments --set-option resolution_mode=N with any number 1 - 6 to the command line nothing changes. What is this good for ? The host key has no effect with no combination of any other shortcut that the configuration settings imply. Then i tried kisk mode, what comes with the hint "thin client" and sounds like a simplified fullscreen login mode. But no idea, what the window, that then appears is good for. It is shown in remmina-kiosk-window.png . None of the widgets is active except the entry, where i can write things, press Enter or whatever, and nothing happens. What my goodness is this all good for ? In an earlier version that called xfreerdp in the back it seemed to be possible to configure more things that are gone now in favour of items that have no effect e.g. to set, whether a certificate is accepted. There is no widget to configure access to a local directory in a remote drive (like possible with arguments to xfreerdp). This is a crucial feature for any real productive work. Noone hardly can go without this. Same for local printers. Not so crucial, but would be nice, especially as xfreerdp is already capable. The manual page of remmina is more a rudiment. Where is the documentation of the UI ? So why would anyone use remmina and not xfreerdp ? Can anyone explain me, why remmina is the default handler for rdp files in Fedora ? I don't understand it. Maybe i miss lots of things, but then please someone give me the hints. Thank you. FEDORA-2020-a3ef998a70 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. FEDORA-2020-dd8c133829 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. Nothing has changed with remmina by upgrading to Fedora 32. Still the same weirdnesses, still all statements from above apply and also the screenshots. How could have anything changed ? The version changed from 1.4.7-1.fc31 to 1.4.7-1.fc32 in other words it did not change. |
