“Mouse Jiggler” for RDP sessions

Hi, sorry for such a delay in my reply! I've tried it with the default setting which I think is 60 seconds and my screen was still timing out/going in active. I tried changing it to 15 seconds and still had the timeout issues. (Linux Mint 22.3, RDM 2026.1.0.8 64-bit.) Perhaps we could introduce a secondary feature, which instead of jiggling the mouse, it sends a keystroke? e.g. "Ctrl" every X seconds....

RDP Gateway topics

Hello jaajog, A ticket regarding the inconsistencies is still open, and I have just raised its priority. As for the new issue with the permission pop-up, I created a ticket and fixed it. This change will take effect in the next release (2026.1.1). Regards,

RDP Gateway topics

Hello Just chiming in to see if you have worked up a roadmap for solving these inconsistencies? I understand that .net upgrade must have taken a lot of effort, just reminding you that this is a blocker for me every day. Btw a new linux bug in the latest version - opening "user specific settings" gives several prompts saying "you don't have permission". Used to work before the new release.

Debian Bookworm 2.13 Remote Desktop Manager crashes and clipboard corruption using clipboard integration for RDP sessions

Hello, I spent quite a bit of time this weekend trying to reproduce the issue in my homelab under similar conditions, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to trigger it even once all clipboard operations (including repeated copy/paste through RDP) worked as expected on my side. Given that, it does seem like this might be something more intermittent or environment-specific, which makes it a bit trickier to pin down. Please keep sharing any patterns or observations you notice especially if you manage to narrow down any specific conditions. Thanks again for your detailed testing, it really helps. Best regards,

RDM Settngs for use with Midnight Commander

Hello Chris, Thanks for the additional details! I was able to reproduce the issue on my end specifically with the mouse scroll wheel behavior in Midnight Commander through RDM. At first, I wasn’t even sure if this would be considered a bug or just a limitation of how input is handled, but your example helped clarify things. BTW, you can use the clear command in the terminal this lets you scroll back up afterward for a somewhat similar effect. That said, I’ve gone ahead and created a bug report for this internally. I’ll keep you informed as soon as there are any updates or progress on it. Thanks again for bringing this up! Best regard

RDM Settngs for use with Midnight Commander

Not to my knowledge. SSH base settings in RDM, thus the question. xterm-256color Don't understand the comment/question Yes Yes For instance: When I scroll my mouse wheel I get this: [image] This definitely doesn't happen in my OS terminal, nor Tabby, nor Remmina, nor Open Remote -SSH in VSCosdium nor MobaXterm on my Windows machine. It does happen in RustConn, so you are not alone. Appreciate the response. chris

RDM Settngs for use with Midnight Commander

Hello, Thanks for the detailed post! I tried to reproduce the behavior on my end (RDM on mint + MC on Ubuntu), and everything seems to work normally here mouse and keyboard behave as expected. To help narrow this down, could you confirm a few things: Are you using any macros, key mappings, or custom shortcuts in RDM? What terminal type is configured in your SSH session? (e.g., xterm, xterm-256color) What’s the output of: echo $TERM on the remote machine? Does the issue happen in all sessions, or only specific hosts (e.g., Raspberry Pi vs Ubuntu server)? If you connect using a native terminal (like GNOME Terminal) instead of RDM, does Midnight Commander behave correctly? This will help determine if it’s related to terminal emulation, input handling, or session configuration. Thanks!

Debian Bookworm 2.13 Remote Desktop Manager crashes and clipboard corruption using clipboard integration for RDP sessions

I'm going to try various things to try to isolate the problem. I had the clipboard corruption happen this morning, but this one didn't crash RDP. I copied the same text 3 times inside the RDP session, the first two times the corruption happened identically (same garbled text both times), and then it was fine the third time. I was only observing the local Linux clipboard. I'll observe both next time.

RDM Settngs for use with Midnight Commander

Greetings all, First post. My goto Linux terminal application is Midnight Commander. I've used it, or a variant (Norton Commander) for longer than I care to admit. The issue is it doesn't behave nicely with RDM. Mouse support is wonky, keyboard support is wonky, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm running RDM in Pop!_OS Cosmic (on two separate machines actually) , and MC is run on Ubuntu server and RaspberryPi's if that makes any difference. Is there a magic decoder ring of settings for using MC in RDM? Thank you chris

Debian Bookworm 2.13 Remote Desktop Manager crashes and clipboard corruption using clipboard integration for RDP sessions

Hello, Thanks for the detailed follow-ups, this is really helpful. I don’t believe the issue is related specifically to your setup (Debian + KDE + Wayland). I’m running a very similar environment on my end and haven’t been able to reproduce the behavior so far. That said, given the intermittent nature and the clipboard involvement (especially with corruption persisting across launches), I’m going to try to actively reproduce this on my side using similar conditions. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I have any findings or if I manage to trigger the issue. Thanks again for your patience and the thorough testing it’s really appreciated. Best regards,

Debian Bookworm 2.13 Remote Desktop Manager crashes and clipboard corruption using clipboard integration for RDP sessions

I'll also add it is random. I can sometimes go all day without issues, but then randomly it will occur. It also looks like it can happen in both directions. I've had corrupted text inside of my RDP session from text coming from my Linux host and corrupted text in my local clipboard coming from the RDP session. In fact, it just happened again, and for giggles I copied my clipboard out and repopulated it since it wasn't garbled. I was able to then launch RDM without it crashing with the same clipboard contents, which is really odd and supports the idea that it is happening intermittently.

Debian Bookworm 2.13 Remote Desktop Manager crashes and clipboard corruption using clipboard integration for RDP sessions

It doesn't seem to matter what I am copying, and I am wondering it is very specific to me using KDE on Debian.

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the issue you're experiencing... Does it happen regardless of what kind of text you copy (markdown, plain text, etc)? If not, in what kinds of contexts does it occur?

Additional keyboard shortcuts for RDM Linux

Hi wahyusrieepn, I just wanted to let you know that we've added the keyboard shortcuts you requested. They should be available in the next version of RDM for Linux. However, as a heads up, the keyboard mappings by default are not the same as the ones you've suggested, but they can all be modified to your liking in the Settings under User interface > Keyboard. Best regards
