Full Screen Mode Not Working on Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon)

Hello, Thank you for the clarification.| Could you please provide: A screenshot showing what happens after you click Full Screen (even if nothing changes). The Display settings from Linux Mint (especially the display scaling value, if enabled). Whether the issue still occurs if you create a brand-new RDP entry with the default settings and test Full Screen there. This will help us determine whether the behavior is related to the specific session configuration or affects all RDP entries. Once we have this information, we'll be able to investigate further and determine whether the issue is related to RDM or a change in the Linux environment. Best regards,

Full Screen Mode Not Working on Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon)

Are we talking about the configuration in the connection settings, or are we talking about the operating system—for example, Windows—and the settings there? When I enable “full screen,” nothing happens—even in the shell when I run `remotedesktopmanager` from the command line, there’s no error... It used to work in Linux, but I don’t remember which version it stopped working in. Now the question is whether this is a problem with RDM or if a Linux update broke it...

Hi Jaanus, Thank you for the follow-up, and for confirming the other items are sorted on your side. Good news on the Delinea Secret Server point. We reproduced the behavior you described, where in the Default credential selection mode the control to choose a specific secret does not respond. It is now logged with our development team as a confirmed bug, and we will update this thread as soon as a fix is available. In the meantime, the Prompt for List mode remains a working way to select your secret, so you are not blocked while the fix is worked on. Best regards, Michel

Full Screen Mode Not Working on Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon)

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?

RDP via RD gateway with Entra MFA doesn't connect to RDP server after gw login

Thank you for providing the logs. From what I can see, the gateway authentication itself appears to succeed. The failure seems to occur afterward, when the client attempts to establish the redirected RDP connection. Could you also test the same connection using the latest xfreerdp3 directly from the same Linux machine? That would help determine whether this is specific to RDM or an upstream FreeRDP issue. It would also be useful to know: whether the issue reproduces with a non-MFA account (if available for testing), the RD Gateway server version, Based on the logs so far, the issue appears to occur after successful gateway authentication during the redirected RDP connection rather than during the Entra MFA process itself. Best regard Carl Marien Hi, despite this has been changed to a feature request (which I appreciate), I tested the RDP connection through the gateway with Entra MFA successfully via pure freerdp. Best regards Markus

RDP via RD gateway with Entra MFA doesn't connect to RDP server after gw login

After discussing this internally, it appears that what you're encountering is currently a limitation of RDM on Linux rather than a configuration issue on your side. While FreeRDP has introduced support for Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD authentication through Microsoft's MSAL libraries, that functionality has not yet been integrated into RDM Linux. As a result, scenarios involving an RD Gateway protected by Entra MFA are not fully supported at this time. Based on your logs, the gateway authentication itself appears to complete successfully, but the connection does not progress to the final RDP session establishment. This is consistent with the current limitation. We'll treat this as a feature request for Linux support rather than a bug in your configuration. In the meantime, using a native FreeRDP 3 client (if it supports your environment) or the Windows version of RDM are the available workarounds. Thank you for taking the time to provide the logs they helped us narrow this down.

RDM version 2026.2.0.7 and our SecretServer is onprem. The button I am referring to is this (does not do anything with empty 'folder id' either) [image]

RDP via RD gateway with Entra MFA doesn't connect to RDP server after gw login

Attached please find the cli-output when the RDP session is started. In the log I found the message: "RDGatewaydoesnotsupportHTTPtransport", so I set the gateway transport to RPC with no change in behavior. [image]

RDP via RD gateway with Entra MFA doesn't connect to RDP server after gw login

My company uses an Entra MFA protected RD gateway. You have to login at the gateway with domain\user and password and accept the login via Microsoft Authenticator. On Windows, you're then forwarded to the RDP host and the desktop appears. On Linux, RDM is stuck with a blank session tab after the authentication. [updated] At the moment my problem is, that I have no clue where the setup process of the RDP connection stops. I need some information how to trace the setup of a RDP connection in RDM. The Application logs don't give any useful information. Could anyone point out the way to troubleshoot RDP via RD gateway in RDM ? Starting RDM in bash gives useful output, I'll provide it in the following posts. My "feeling" is, RDM atm. cannot handle the connection setup via RD gateway, when an Entra MFA is needed. RDM seems not to proceed after the second factor has been prooven. I'd like to bring some evidence for that, but don't know how to setup the right logging / debugging. I'm using Fedora 43 (Kernel 7.0.13) on Gnome 49.7 with wayland. RDM is on version 2026.2.0.7. Best regards Markus

Hi Jaanus, Thank you for the follow-up, and for taking the time to test the new build. Good to hear the user-specific settings prompts are resolved, and that the Gateway section is working much better for you now. On the Delinea Secret Server entry, choosing a specific secret in the Default mode should work, so the unresponsive button you are seeing there is not expected. I want to reproduce it on our side on a matching setup and bring it to our development team, and I will update this thread as soon as I have something concrete. If it unblocks you in the meantime, Prompt for List is a usable path while we look into Default. To reproduce it on the right setup, could you confirm two things: 1. The exact RDM Linux version you tested this on. 2. Whether your Secret Server is self-hosted (on-prem) or the cloud Delinea Platform instance. Best regards, Michel

Hello! Sorry for the long radio silence. I just tested the current version and the blocker for my workflow right now seems the Delinea Secret Server plugin, which simply does not work under "Default" method, which is what my company is using. Under Default method there is Folder ID configured (can be empty) and I am supposed to be able to choose a secret, but that button simply does not do anything. Method "Prompt for List" actually works. Gateway section does have a lot of improvements, kudos for that. Just need some more stuff working to actually test it!

Hello Guillaume, At this point, I would like to see the issue directly on your side so I can better understand the behavior. I will send you a link by email to start a remote session with me. Best regards,

System permission - Different behavior and rights

Hello Carl Marien Certainly: Linux: [image] Windows [image] The only difference is, under Linux, my username is written, under Windows, it uses the variable %username% (what resolve the same username as the one entered on the linux configuration) All Other configurations (User Vault, VPN, PowerShell, Advanced) are identical on both platforms.

System permission - Different behavior and rights

Hello Guillaume, Thank you for the additional information and diagnostic. To help us compare the behavior between both clients, could you please send us a screenshot of File → Workspace from both computers? Ideally, please provide one screenshot from: The Linux client where the issue occurs. The Windows client where the permissions are displayed correctly. This will help us verify if there is any difference in how the workspace or permission context is being detected between the two environments. Best regards,
