Remote Desktop Manager doesnt work on atralinux

Good afternoon.
We use our own version of Linux based on Ubuntu. Unfortunately it does not work for RDM. Can you please check, maybe you can fix this error?

Here is message then i launch it

sudo remotedesktopmanager
(RemoteDesktopManager:2703): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:3693:13:
Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Best regards
Alexander

Hello,

FYI - I just moved you thread under the RDM Linux section. Our engineering department will get back to you on this.

Best regards,

Hi Alexander,

Unfortunately, nothing the output log helps to identity the reason RDM isn't starting.
You mention atralinux, could it be astra linux? If so, I'll setup a VM to hopefully replicate your issue.

Yes it Astra Linux 1.6 smolensk (i can't change linux version)
Can i help you and check some logs? Unfortunately not found any logs.

Hi again,

I've installed Astra Linux on a VM and sure enough, RDM doesn't start.
Unfortunately, that's because RDM uses GTK 3.24 and Astra Linux has package for 3.22.
Unless there's a way to install 3.24 on your workstation, I'm afraid your os won't be compatible.

I don't personally use it, but you might try the flatpak. I think flatpak should have it's own bundle of GTK stuff.

Oh, thank you for the suggestion.
That's something I can test.

Well, I spoke too soon. I can't test that.
Astra Linux repository doesn't seem to have flatpak available and none of the ways to install it worked on that distro.

I checked flatpak idea. I run it, but after i type "ok" - it just crash.
Can i download older version (for example 2021 year) and check? For some reason cant download linux older version (just windows and MacOs)

Here's the link to the last 2021 release.
https://cdn.devolutions.net/download/Linux/RDM/2021.2.1.3/RemoteDesktopManager_2021.2.1.3_amd64.deb

I can't tell you why previous release aren't available for Linux but I will poke the right persons to try and change that.
In the mean while, you can check the release notes and simply change the version number in the url above to download different versions.

Can you give me the steps you used to install flatpak? It wasn't in the main repo and I couldn't find any instructions that seemed to work in Astra Linux.
I would like to see if I can reproduce (and maybe come up with a solution) your issue.

I used this instruction: https://flatpak.org/setup/Debian
This version works fine on Astra Linux 1.6 smolensk,thanks you! I like RemoteDesktopManager!
