Remmina crashes when trying to open a RDP connection

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi,

I installed yesterday Remmina from the CachyOS repository to connect to a computer on my home network that uses Windows via Remote Desktop.

The problem I have is that when I try to start the connection, Remmina crashes instantly leaving this log:

(org.remmina.Remmina:61188): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 19:23:33.559: gdk_x11_window_get_xid: assertion 'GDK_IS_X11_WINDOW (window)' failed
fish: Job 1, 'remmina' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

And if I do an dmesg I see this:

[35972.108930] traps: remmina[61188] general protection fault ip:7c981644fb2d sp:7ffcf9e84b20 error:0 in libX11.so.6.4.0[20b2d,7c9816446000+ab000]

Can anyone please tell me what’s going on and how I can fix it? Maybe I’m missing some library?

The version I’m using of Remmina is the 1:1.4.39-1.1.

The KRDC app doesn’t work for me either, the only one I’ve managed to get working is Thinkast Client installed via flatpack.

Regards.

I think this means that it wants to run under x11 or wayland. I use gnome-connections, works well enough.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m actually on KDE using Wayland.

I installed EndeavourOS yesterday to check if the same thing happened and it does, so it seems that it’s not a CachyOS error, but rather Remmina or something in the Arch Linux distro on which they are based.

install the freerdp package and it should start working. I had the same issue, and it’s not really documented anywhere.

I installed the freerdp and freerdp2 packages, but it still fails the same.
