Support

@Everyone, Even if Ubuntu is the only officially supported distro for RDM, we know Linux is all about choices and we wouldn't want to change that. In that optic, here's a little guide to help you install RDM on your preferred, unsupported distro. First of all, dependancies. glibc 2.27 libwebkit2gtk-4.0 ca-certificates libsecret-1-0 gnome-keyring If you are installing RDM on a distro supporting .deb files, you are done. Simply install the deb package and everything should be good to go. You can start RDM using the menu icon or the remotedesktopmanager terminal command. You can also opt to install the net.devolutions.RDM or net.devolutions.RDMFree flatpak package from flathub. Otherwise, you can manually install RDM using the following steps Extract deb file content. (ar x RemoteDesktopManager_x.x.x.x_amd64.deb) Extract data.tar.xz content. (tar -xf data.tar.xz) Copy bin/remotedesktopmananger to /bin Copy usr/lib/devolutions/RemoteDesktopManager to /usr/lib/devolutions/RemoteDesktopManager You can now start RDM using the remotedesktopmanager terminal command. Let us know if you still have issues running RDM on your preferred distro. Known issues. On platform running non-gnome desktop environment, the splash screen might prevent entering your serial when launching RDM for the first time. Simply press the 'Cancel' button to close the dialog, that should make the splash screen disappear. You can then use the Help menu tab to access the registration form again.

Hi, We recently switch our backend from mono to .net6. Since this switch, a number of our users are experiencing SSL errors while connecting to their data source. The reason being .net6, out of the box, is stricter when it comes to TLS support. With these following steps, you can relax SSL minimum requirements (in effects allowing TLS 1.1) In /etc/ssl/opensll.cnf Place this at the top of the file openssl_conf = default_conf Then place this anywhere in the file [ default_conf ] ssl_conf = ssl_sect [ ssl_sect ] system_default = system_default_sect [ system_default_sect ] MinProtocol = TLSv1 CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1

I utilize Resident OpenSSH keys to connect to all of my Linux servers, and have a use case where I must run an application on a Windows Virtual Machine which will then connect from that VM into various Linux servers. In my previous workflows I was locally using a Windows client to connect over standard RDP, and then when utilizing my Resident SSH keys in the remote application the VM was able to see the local Yubikey and utilize it for connectivity without any issues. This worked as long as webauthn and smartcard passthrough were enabled in the mstsc client. I need to perform that exact same workflow but using RDM on Linux as the local client. I can't get the VM to detect that any smartcard or webauthn devices are present, so I cannot utilize them for authentication on the remote VM. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello, I have been using RDM for quite some time now and I have recently decided to transition to Linux from Windows and macOS. RDM works perfectly under Windows and macOS, but under Fedora, I have some UI scaling issues. You will see that the overall RDM window is great, but the Terminal session is tiny and can't be read easily without a magnifying glass. I have attempted to adjust the Scaling settings for both GTK and Avalonia but these don't seem to have any affect on the actual terminal window, those settings only seem to affect on the RDM window itself. How can I increase the size of the terminal window as I have tried "CTRL +" and "CTRL SHIFT +" with no response from the RDM client to resize the terminal window. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, i have some strange things during connection via ssh gateway Linux RDM 2026.2.1.4 does not use OpenSSH user certificates during authentication. OpenSSH successfully authenticates using: id_tpamssh + id_tpamssh.pub (ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com) RDM loads the private key successfully but only offers ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 instead of ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com. SSH debug log confirms that the certificate is never offered, while OpenSSH offers ECDSA-CERT and authenticates successfully. For example: RDM: Successfully loaded key: ... Starting public key authentication Validating public key: ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 Key is not accepted by server OpenSSH: Offering public key: ... ECDSA-CERT ... Server accepts key: ... ECDSA-CERT ... Authenticated using "publickey". Can you please help me with this problem?

Hi Jacob, I am using RDM to remote a single Ubuntu desktop. You may know that Ubuntu stopped supporting X11 and uses Wayland going forward. Google's Gemini suggested that I should try RDM as it supports Wayland. Being new to RDM, I have only one local resource defined. I don't think that I have exceeded any maximum. I reinstalled RDM 2026.1.12.6 and you can see in the screen print it works flawlessly. Thank you for looking into the issue. [image]

Hi, We are actively using the RDM on Windows version. I am frequently testing the Linux version (latest try - under ubuntu v25.10) I have many entries where "autofill" does not work .. I would first focus on web page , with entries that does autofill under the windows version of RDM, but not the linux. The first exemple I think of, that is quite easily testable, is the "login web page" of a opnsens firewall. Working windows version: 2025.03.28.0 not working linux version: 2025.3.1.1 I did re-create a entry with from the "linux", the HTML control ID found the username, password and form ID from the page... everything work IF and only if I don't unable the "autosubmit" tick.. So, are there some "problems" on my linux install, or something I should consider ? or .... And with the entry created under linux, the auto fill seems to work fine under windows, but the auto submit is "not" working .. :-D So, Is there something to work on, or am I on a dead head lane ? Thanks for the advice (and as usual: Keep going, this is a good peace of work ! Congrats) PS merry xmas and happy new year!

Hi, I've noticed that on version 2026.2.1.3 (installed through flathub) there's an option to use a dsm plugin to connect to a VNC server. Do I have to copy the plugin to a specific folder for it to work? Currently I'm trying to connect to an UltraVNC server that uses encryption. From an UltraVNC client, I can connect just fine. But I'm getting an error (Unable to connect to host XXXXXXXXX) trying to connect with RDM.

I am using the latest version of Remote Desktop Manager (Linux, .deb installation) on Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon). My display resolution is 1920×1080. The “Full Screen” mode for RDP sessions does not work correctly. This happens consistently on Linux Mint 22.3 with Cinnamon. I am not using Flatpak; RDM is installed via .deb from your official site. How can we fix this? Is there a solution?

This issue seems to happen only on my instance on Zorin OS 17.3 This doesn't happen on Windows 11. I will open up a website in RDM and then switch to Brave Browser and eventually if my focus is away from RDM long enough, the website tabs in RDM will freeze up and the only thing I can do is crash out of RDM and relaunch it. Currently running 2025.3.1.1 version of RDM.

Hello! I am trying out our companys central RDM database on Linux client version. As we use RDP gateway on 99.9% of our connections, I have run into some troubles and questions. 1) Where exactly are those "my RD Gateway credentials" configured? I cannot find a place for them. [image] 2) When I open that Credentials button, I get this screen: [image] Why is credential repository grayed out? (expected behaviour: like on Windows, the stored credential logic opens, we store them in the same vault as our connection info) 3) not exactly RDP Gateway question, but almost connected. We use Delinea Secret Server (previously Thycotic) for all our credential management and the "credential selection" options and logic differ between Windows and Linux versions, making it currently impossible to use the same connection on both platforms. Is there any ongoing development in that section? 4) reading your forum I found an opinion that "Automatically detect RD gateway settings" and "Do not use the RD Gateway" probably have the same result on Linux (which makes sense). Why not remove the auto option from Linux version? Thanks in advance!

Good Morning, i'm running RDM v 2026.2.0.6 64 Bit on Fedora 43 (Linux 7.0.12-101.fc43.x86_64) with Gnome 49. Ever since I've started using RDM under Linux I've had the problem that the application sometimes looses focus and becomes unusable. I usually have to close and restart the app. I'm assuming this has something to do with the incomplete Wayland support that will hopefully remediated via the Avalonia Gui update. However, since the last two updates I've encounter the issue much more frequently and in addition got an error message displayed. Strangely the option to "send error report" doesn't seem to work for me. Therefor, I though I share a screenshot as well as text of the error message for you to have a look and maybe it is possible with a small fix to resolve this issue under wayland. if it's a bigger issue don't bother. I'll wait for the Avalonia Gui then. [image] Error message in text: NullReferenceException - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Client.Windows.MainWindow.SaveLayout() at Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.ActionManager.ForceClose(Boolean exit, Boolean saveOpenedConnections) at Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.ActionManager.QuitApplication(Boolean saveOpenedConnections) at Client.Windows.MainWindow.Window_DeleteEvent(Object sender, DeleteEventArgs a) at System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethod(ObjectHandleOnStack target, Void** arguments, ObjectHandleOnStack sig, BOOL isConstructor, ObjectHandleOnStack result) at System.Reflection.MethodBaseInvoker.InvokeDirectByRefWithFewArgs(Object obj, Span`1 copyOfArgs, BindingFlags invokeAttr) The issue occurred early this morning, I just had one websession open to a remote system. If you need any further information just let me know. The issue happens quite frequently so I can provide further logs if needed.

Hello, We intensivly work with you (great) product on Ms Windows as the main tools for our technicen team @ work... And I am frequently testing the "linux" version, with somes little things that have not been working perfectly... But I would like to ask if you already came accros some solutions for my main problem, making the experiment un-usable. I am currently testing on a laptop, I5, 16Gig of ram and embeted graph card, a "simple" old laptop. I have a "fresh" Ubuntu 26.04 install, standard, so, using Wayland with Gnome. One of the first thing I tried is RDM... but then, I can see 2 mains problems: The scaline factor on menu looks weird (I set up my display to be 100%, not 125%) and when the mouse quits the main central windows and goes to menus or Navigation pane, It get "bigger"... When I try to change the scale factor of the component in the RDM settings: mouse does not behave correctly, and menus goes REALLY small. Second problem, that might be linked... if that for almost all editing/opening entry, etc, I get a "close / Wait more" pop up showing..... clicking in "wai" will finally make it work.... but I made the experience un-usable. (In a recent other test, it seems that on a KUbuntu, experience is much better, but i'll have to stick on GNOME) Is that kind of thing having already been reported.... Would you have some tunning for me to try? Have you any interest in my problems... and would you like to see: have a look, or check those things? Thanks in advanced, and have, the whole team, a nice day PS: Thanks for your work!

Hello, I have installed the RDM Free. I want to create a VPN connection before connecting via RDP. The VPN is already present in the system and I always open that manually with sudo systemctl start openvpn@vpn so far. How can I get RDM to automatically create the connection when I open the RDP connection and close it when I close the RDP connection? I am using Linux Mint. Thanks for the help

Dear RDM team, I'm reviving the topic on RDM for Linux feature parity when compared to RDM for Windows. RDM has become the only tool that prevents me from migrating off Windows to Linux, which I'm planning for quite some time already. I appreciate that you released native RDM for Linux, but its features are... incomplete. Because of that I tried running RDM for Windows in a Windows virtual machine on Linux, but the virtualization/hardware emulation so that Windows runs great on Linux is... less than ideal. It's slow, and RDM, being quite a big app is even slower. And... having Remote Desktop within a VM screen, inside my primary display is also not going to be working well, no matter what. I would like you to somehow rearchitect your development process so that most or all features added to RDM on Windows also end up in RDM on Linux. That would provide Linux community with the best remote management tool that ever existed on Linux so far, with the greatest features and versatility. As for my priorities it would be remote management entries, such as RDP, SSH, Web, maybe Mikrotik Winbox (they now have Winbox 4 multi platform); credentials entries, and handling Hub. I don't care about VPN entries that much. But to be able to launch the above entries with doubleclick, having credentials entered, just like in RDM on Windows, is a must have. Great SSH agent, password generator and other shared tools would be nice, too. There's business justification to that as well. I think fully-featured RDM on Linux would attract many Linux-only users (of which majority are technically skilled, working in IT industry), and certainly some of them can become paying customers. Please think about that. Thanks in advance!

I atempted to do an import from my remmina configuration files. The import seemed to work fine, fodlers were created etc. When I launched on of the imported entries it asked about an installation path, I chose default and set that as the default. Now the entry throws an xfreerdp not found. If I create an entry manually it works. I even tried exporting an entry from Remmina as a .rdp file, that also gives the same error. While I don't have a problem manually recreating al my connection, importing them would have been nice. All I need is host name and folder, did I do something wrong when being promppted for the installation path?

Is there an option to configure a website entry with a client certificate to use for the connection ?

After upgrading from 2024.x to 2025.2.4 the windows title bar (above File|Home|Edit|...) with the buttons to minimize, maximise + close is gone missing. I used to right click it to move to another workspace. The shortcut ALT-Space is a workaround for that. What is even more a showstopper is, that the window can not be moved into the background anymore. It always occupies a full monitor (as it can not be resized neither). My OS is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Since the upgrade of our AD scheme i can't connect to our Windows 2019+ servers anymore. I only receive this error in the logs. Other clients like Remmina work totally fine with the same settings for login. 15.05.26 07:20 remotedesktopmanager [07:20:40:275] [327199:00051091] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - [nla_recv_pdu]: ERRCONNECT_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTION [0x00020017] 15.05.26 07:20 remotedesktopmanager [07:20:40:275] [327199:00051091] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.rdp] - [rdp_recv_callback_int][0x780bf85c9d60]: CONNECTION_STATE_NLA - nla_recv_pdu() fail 15.05.26 07:20 remotedesktopmanager [07:20:40:275] [327199:00051091] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.rdp] - [rdp_recv_callback_int][0x780bf85c9d60]: CONNECTION_STATE_NLA status STATE_RUN_FAILED [-1] 15.05.26 07:20 remotedesktopmanager [07:20:40:275] [327199:00051091] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.transport] - [transport_check_fds]: transport_check_fds: transport->ReceiveCallback() - STATE_RUN_FAILED [-1] FreeRDP with console also works without any issues. xfreerdp /v:SERVER /u:USER /d:DOMAIN.DE /sec:nla /cert:ignore Only the RDP via the RDM doesn't work.

Hi guys, After last update of RDM all my opened tabs are going closed when I do an exit command or CTRL+D on a linux terminal. Is there any configuration to avoid it? Thanks!

Hello, This post is a follow-up to a crash reported separately from the sleep/resume issue in the original thread. The crash described here was observed while actively using an RDP connection, with no obvious trigger at the time, though clipboard activity had been occurring. Symptom: RDM aborts during or shortly after a clipboard set operation while an RDP session is active. What the core dump shows: The crash is a Signal 6 (ABRT), not a segfault. The crashing thread was executing RDM's clipboard code via the .NET runtime (libcoreclr.so), calling into gtk_clipboard_set_with_data through GTK/GDK/libX11/libxcb. At that point, glibc's memory allocator detected a corrupted heap chunk (tcache_get_n -> malloc_printerr -> abort). This is a distinct crash from the sleep/resume one and is being tracked separately by the same user. https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/52610/frequent-but-seemingly-random-segfaults?user=46946 Environment: Product: Remote Desktop Manager for Linux Version: 2026.1.1.1 Install type: .deb OS: Linux (amd64) Kernel: 6.17.0-20 glibc: 2.42 Thank you,

Hello, I have upgraded to the latest version of RDM. This update included two new functionalities I was looking forward to: Terminal and Duplicate . While the Duplicate feature is working as expected, the Terminal functionality fails to open a prompt when executed. Is there anything to be done before having Terminal working? Tools - Terminal [image] RDM: Latest OS: Fedora 43 Thank you.

When setting up the connection, the configured URL is used, and the vaults can be used as desired. However, after restarting RDM, the host URL is changed to the subdomain, after which the vault can no longer be used in the Free version. Currently, the connection must be reconfigured after every restart. Connection Settings before restart [image] Error after restart [image] Connection Settings after restart [image]
