2021.2.1.2: RDP in external viewer no longer working

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us on that matter!

Do you experience the same issue if you initiate to RDP connection using a different application outside of RDM?

Best regards,

Hi,

External requires xfreerdp to successfully run.
You will need the freerdp2-x11 package installed if it's not already.

Regards

I do not experience the issue when initiating the RDP connection with xfreerdp, remmina, or rdesktop.
xfreerdp version: freerdp2-x11 2.2.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 amd64

It has worked in a previous version: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/36524/rdp-local-drive-folder-redirection-not-working

Thank you for the information.
We'll look into it.

Hello David,

I can't reproduce the issue internally with a Ubuntu 18.04 with freerdp2-x11 version 2.2.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu0.18.04.2. Maybe we are testing with different settings in the RDP entry.

Please, can you try to open your RDP session in RDM and stop at the "Installation Path" window:


At this point go to your temp files (/tmp) and make sure that there is a .rdp file with the name of your entry. Open a terminal in this folder and try to open it with the xfreerdp command like this:
xfreerdp 'EntryName.rdp' (you will probably need to add the ' for some reason) and let me know what error you get from xfreerdp.

Regards,

I couldn't find a .rdp file in /tmp, but there is one in /tmp/user/1000 (as specified in $TMP).

But the issue no longer occurs?

Does the session open correctly in external with RDM?

Regards,

It does.

Ok, I will close the ticket. If you get this issue again, please feel free to update this topic so we can re open the ticket.

Regards,
