RDP problem with RDG

Hello Markievicz, Thank you very much for your help. I tried RPC. The problems are still there. I don't have a new mouse. The older RDM version, V2026.3.1.2, works. Version V2026.3.2.1 has the error you mentioned. 1.2 at the end works. 2.1 at the end does not work. I haven’t tried a 2026.2.x version because 2026.3.1.2 works. Thank you very much, Chris

Cannot set scaling default for quick connect RDP connections

Ok, that seems to do the trick. It probably would make sense to show the currently applied template somewhere in the bottom bar. Once set I don't think there is any indication it is being applied. Mat

Cannot set scaling default for quick connect RDP connections

Hello, Thank you for contacting us on that matter, and glad the cursor fix is working well for you! The HiDPI optimization option is currently stored per entry, which is why your saved RDP entries look right while a Quick Connect session falls back to the default settings, where that option is off. You can get the same result in Quick Connect with a template: 1. Create a new RDP template. 2. In its display settings, enable the HiDPI optimization option (and Dynamic resolution, as in your saved entries). 3. Save it, then select that template in the Quick Connect bar before connecting. Your Quick Connect sessions will then use the same scaling as your saved entries. Could you give it a try and let me know how it goes? If it doesn't cover your use case, I can raise a request with our team for a global default for this option. Best regards,

RDP problem with RDG

Hello Yes, I think so. I haven't tested this on Linux but we've seen the same thing on other platforms. If you have a mouse that has a very high polling rate, it simply sends too many input events and overloads the Gateway's WebSocket transport that causes lag. As a workaround you can try to switch the Gateway transport to "RPC", but this may not work if the Gateway requires WebSockets. It's worth trying: [image] What I don't understand is why this would be a regression. You wrote: With the Linux version V2026.3.2.1 of RDM, I’m having an issue [...] I didn’t have this problem with version V2026.3.1.2 But I guess the older version was actually 2026.2.x? It might explain things, because we switched UI frameworks in that gap and perhaps our new framework is handling the high polling rate and our old one wasn't. Or, is it simply possible that you got a new mouse? Anyway, I'm sure this is the problem and I'm linking a ticket to this thread for the RDM Linux team. We will post back once the underlying issue has been corrected. Please don't hesitate with other questions or comments, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience Thanks and kind regards,

Cannot set scaling default for quick connect RDP connections

I'm running Zorin OS 18.1 Pro on a Framework 13. I have to edit my connections to optimize for HiDPI connections as shown below. [image] And as you can see, everything looks great. [image] However when I do a quick connect I get this: [image] Everything is huge. I cannot seem to find the same HiDPI setting in the preferences. Thanks again for fixing the cursor not changing when trying to resize windows in an rdp session! Thanks for looking into this as well. Mat

Exception on launch on Fedora 45

Hello, Thank you for your patience. I was able to reproduce the issue on Fedora 45. It comes from Fedora 45 moving to OpenSSL 4, which the runtime bundled with Remote Desktop Manager does not detect yet. I’ve reported it to our development team so it can be fixed in a future version. In the meantime, you can work around it by telling the runtime to use OpenSSL 4. To test it once , run this from a terminal: DOTNET_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4 remotedesktopmanager To make it permanent , so Remote Desktop Manager also starts from the application menu: mkdir -p ~/.config/environment.d echo "DOTNET_OPENSSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4" > ~/.config/environment.d/rdm-openssl.conf Then log out and back in to your session. Let me know if this works for you. Best regards,

RDP keyboard redirection for special keys/combos not working in 2026.3.0.5 64bit Linux Mint 22.3

Hello everyone, Thank you for testing 2026.3.2.1. Christoph, thank you for confirming the fix with KDE Plasma on Wayland. 2026.3.2.1 also fixes Ctrl+D opening Duplicate in SSH sessions. Do Ctrl+D in SSH and Ctrl+B in RDP now reach the session for you? Roland, in 2026.3.2.1 Remote Desktop Manager only tries to capture the Windows key and Alt+Tab while the mouse pointer is over the RDP session, the session has the keyboard focus and the window is active, with Keyboard set to "On the remote computer" under Connection > Local resources. Could you click inside the session, keep the pointer over it and try again? Please also tell us which key still goes to GNOME, whether the session is in a tab or its own window, and whether 2026.2.2.2 sent these keys to the session on this machine. Thank you also to the original reporter of this topic for confirming that 2026.3.2.1 fixes the issues you reported on Linux Mint 22.3 with Cinnamon. Best regards, Stephan Stephan Haupt Hi Stephan, Yes, I can confirm Ctrl+B and Ctrl+D is working in SSH Sessions as well. Best regards, Christoph

RDP keyboard redirection for special keys/combos not working in 2026.3.0.5 64bit Linux Mint 22.3

Hi Stephan, I'm happy to report that it's working now after all! I'm using GNOME 48 on Wayland, But Remote Desktop Manager runs as an X11 application via XWayland (GDK_BACKEND=x11). The window class is RemoteDesktopManager. For Alt+Tab to work in the remote session, RDM needs to take full control of the keyboard (a so-called X11 grab). Under Wayland, GNOME only allows X11 windows if their class is on an allowlist. Otherwise, GNOME handles Alt+Tab itself because that combination is already assigned to "switch applications" on your system. Solution : Add RemoteDesktopManager to the allowlist: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['RemoteDesktopManager']" If window titles are already allowed to be “grabbed", they must be included in the list (separated by commas) when running the gsettings command above. Best regards, Roland

Navigation panel hiding

Hello Bartlomiej, Thank you for letting me know. I was able to reproduce it: the tab context menu also stays open when you click inside the terminal, and I found that other menus, such as the drop-downs in the ribbon, behave the same way. I have added this to the report for our development team. Until it is fixed, you can close these menus by clicking anywhere outside the terminal, for example on the ribbon, or by pressing Escape before you go back to the terminal. Best regards,

Slim Hidden Navigation Panel

Hi. In my opinion pining navigation panel should look different. Here's how I would see it. Slim and simple. Another thing is I think terminal window should always be resized to fit window insted being under navigation panel. (An option would be nice to choose either resize terminal window or stay under navigation panel). [image] [image]

Navigation panel hiding

Hello Bartlomiej, Thank you for the detailed description and the screenshots. I was able to reproduce the first point on Remote Desktop Manager Linux 2026.3.2.1: when the Navigation pane is set to auto-hide and you open it over an SSH session, clicking inside the terminal does not close it, while clicking anywhere else in Remote Desktop Manager does. This is not the expected behaviour, and I have reported it to our development team. In the meantime, you can close the pane by clicking the ribbon or the menu bar at the top of the window. If you want the terminal to stay fully visible next to the Navigation pane, pin the pane with the pin icon in its header: when it is pinned, the terminal is resized to fit the remaining space. In auto-hide mode, the pane always opens over the session area. That is how auto-hide works, so it does not take space away from the session while it is closed. For your suggestion about a slimmer collapsed strip with an arrow, please post it as a feature request in the Remote Desktop Manager Linux section of our forum: https://forum.devolutions.net. Our product team reviews the requests posted there. Best regards,
