Enabling RDP sharing

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3805 / 2 Years ago, mon, may 16, 2022, 9:12:41

I want to connect via RDP from an Ubuntu 20.04 laptop to an Ubuntu 22.04 desktop.

I've read in the release notes that the 22.04 release support RDP connections. I enabled Remote Desktop sharing in GNOME Settings. However, when I try to connect from my laptop, the Remmina client gets stuck on "Reconnection attempt 1 of 20" (flicking between attempt 0 and 1).

When I look at tutorials on the web for making RDP connections to 22.04, they say we should install xrdp. Is this right? The 22.04 release notes say "RDP is now available for sharing your desktop remotely." If we really have to install an RDP server, what does it mean that "RDP is now available"? How is 22.04 different from previous versions with xrdp installed?

Short answer: Remmina version is too old on 20.04:

Upgrade your laptop to 22.04

or

uninstall apt remmina and install the flathub version on 20.04

Try connecting with a local RDP client on your 22.04 machine first.

Enter your IP-address and credentials.

Confirmed working here: default app remmina and gnome-connections (apt install gnome-connections)

You should get a connection and an interesting showcase of the Droste-effect

And I had no troubles connecting from another 22.04 machine.

But getting a connection with the same settings from the default 20.04 client is also not working here either, nor from a aFreeRDP Android client

Try the newer flathub remmina version, that is working on 20.04.

sudo apt remove remmina

flatpak install flathub org.remmina.Remmina
