Remmina & Windows 10- fixed: Unable to connect to RDP server
Got this when trying to connect to a Windows 10 Technical Preview using Remmina after a Windows upgrade.
Somewhere, somehow the key must have changed.
I fixed that by deleting the freerdp known_hosts entry.
vi ~/.freerdp/known_hosts
Remove the host entry for the particular server.
When trying to reconnect it will ask you to re-authorize the host.
Done.
What version of Remmina are you running? I’m running 0.9.99.1 and after removing this line from known_hosts, I still get ‘Unable to connect…’
Edit: updated to 1.2beta and it’s working now.
Also using 0.9.99.1 and the only issue I had was with the known_hosts. there is one line for each connection. I wonder is there anything exciting new and fancy with 1.2 ?
I changed from sec:rdp to sec:tls as well, that might have been why it wasn’t working, don’t try to compile it manually if you want to update, it’s a nightmare. there is a ppa if you are on deb/ubuntu, see here: https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/wiki
I have the security set to negotiate which works fine.
Thanks it’s fixed for me
Glad it was of help to someone.
Big thank you. Really you make my day. I fighting with this from several hours.
Thanks for that. I just upgraded my work PC to Windows 10, and couldn’t RDP in to it. This fixed the problem.
Thank you! Stupid windows update messed up my remote desktop..
Awsome! Thank you for sharing!
