Use Linux Version for free

Hello Stefan15,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this,

If you're looking for your RDM Free serial you can find it here: https://portal.devolutions.com/serials

Can you confirm which version of RDM Linux you're using?

Let me know if this helps,

Best regards,

Hi Samuel,

it was my bad, I installed it from Flatpak Repository but there is no free version.. Free version can be found on the RDM Website.. Do you maintain the Flatpak Variant? Maybe you could add free version there too :)

Now I downloaded the .deb package and tried to install but it cannot install some dependencies and so install fails.. RDM from Flathub installed without a problem but this seems to be the Enterprise Version.. I'm trying on a Chromebook with ChromeOS and Linux Subsystem, I know this is not the regular case, but why not..?

Best Regards

Hello Stefan15,

Thank you for your reply,

I must say I'm not too familiar with this myself, that being said, perhaps the following may be helpful in your case?

Let me know,

Hi Stefan,

There is a free version of RDM on flathub but for some reason, doesn't seem to be indexed.
https://github.com/flathub/net.devolutions.RDMFree
The link to flathub.org doesn't work, I'll have to check with them what is going on.

The RDM Free package can now be installed through flathub.

Thank you, now I could install on ChromeOS..

..BUT..

It closes itself right after the Activation Screen, even if I click trial..

"(RemoteDesktopManager.Free:2): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 19:10:45.042: Your application does not implement g_application_activate() and has no handlers connected to the 'activate' signal. It should do one of these."

That's just a warning and not the reason RDM doesn't start.
RDM requires Webkit2Gtk to display the dashboard, if it is not present, that could crash the application.
I will also try to replicate your issue on my side (not on a chromebook however).

I can reproduce your issue, I'm working on it.

While we work on it, you can work around the issue by using "Register with Devolutions Account" or "Register with serial number".
RDM will still crash but should work as expected on the next restart.

Interestingly I tried these options first, cause my goal is to login with Devolutions Account.. It crashes and at next start same Activation Window as before..

But at this point I'll have to say that this is some of the best if not the best Support you can get on such a forum, thank you very much for this!

Can you validate that /home/youruser/.rdm exists?

Can confirm this directory exists and there are some folders in it..

You might be hitting a bug specific to chromeos.
I was only able to replicate the first part of your issue on a manjaro/kde VM. After a successful registration, rdm still crashes but is fine on the next restart.

Maybe the fix you are working on will still make it work for me..

Yes, I hope so.
I was, however, theorizing why the work around wasn't working for you.
