Fedora 43 KDE, Flatpak 2025.3.2.2, previously working RDP sessions now fail to connect instantly

Hello,

I was able to reproduce the issue and found that it only affects the Flatpak version of RDM.

At this time, installing the application via APT serves as a workaround.

I have submitted a bug report and will keep you informed of any updates regarding this issue.

Best regards,

Is possible to install an earlier version of the flatpak instead of latest then?

Hello,

You can view the list of previous versions with the following command:
flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.devolutions.remotedesktopmanager

To downgrade to version 2025.3.1.1, run:
flatpak update --commit=2d69ca95f9203174f7e305875d8b7d7fbd75015f42f26191cc693346bed605ce com.devolutions.remotedesktopmanager

Regards,

thanks, but It seems this version cannot access folders to import entries.

Flatpak applications run in a sandbox and don’t have access to all folders by default. To work around this, you can grant the Flatpak permission to access a specific folder using flatpak override:

User install (per-user):
flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/folder com.devolutions.remotedesktopamanager

System install (all users):
flatpak override --filesystem=/path/to/folder com.devolutions.remotedesktopamanager

If you want to grant access to all folders, use --filesystem=host instead of a path.

I'm on Fedora 42. The downgrade worked for me, and adjusting the Flatpak permissions resolved the folder access issue.

Simon,

Thanks for the info. It is my understanding that this workaround is for the previous version of RDM. So while this topic flair does say resolved, I wanted to ensure there is still an active bug report for the initial issue.

Hello,

We’re actively working on it, and we suspect the issue is related to SSL/TLS, since disabling TLS on the remote server resolves the problem.

We’ll share an update as soon as we have more information.

Best regards,

Hello,

We’ve identified the root cause of the issue and will be publishing a hotfix soon.

As a workaround, you can install the latest Flatpak version and run it with the following command:
flatpak run --env=XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR=$HOME/.var/app/com.devolutions.remotedesktopmanager/config com.devolutions.remotedesktopmanager
