I'm trying to connect to use remote servers in multi monitor setup with following command

xfreerdp3 /d:foobar.intranet /u:myuser /v:xx.xx.xx.31 \
    +clipboard +sound -wallpaper /cert:ignore \
    /multimon:force /monitors:0,3

The problem is that both monitors are mirrored in full screen and are not interactable (it's like they show a default desktop without any input). My monitors are:

❯ xfreerdp3 /list:monitor
      *  2560x1440	+2560+0
         1920x1080	+7680+0
         2560x1440	+5120+0
         2560x1440	+0+0

The thing which makes no sense to me is that in the window preview both monitors are rendered correctly but if opened it's still frozen. I'm using CachyOS with KDE Plasma, both on the newest default release.

I am working in a very strict enviroment where I only have access to a remote computer via RDP and it is impossible for me to enable SSH or SFTP etc on the other computer. I CAN connect to the computer through FreeRDP however as far as I know this is only useful in order to enable you just launch a display. Basically my question is there an option that I can feed into FreeRDP so that I can execute a single command on the remote desktop without a need for a display. **Is there a way to Use/Hack FreeRDP to use it LIKE SSH** Thank you in advance.

I have dual monitor setup. I can't get xfreerdp to launch full screen on both monitors. $ xfreerdp /monitor-list * 1920x1080 +0+0 1920x1080 +1920+0

I run the following .desktop file in Gnome, to start my Remote Session: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=xfreerdp RDP Comment=A sample application Exec=/usr/bin/xfreerdp +clipboard +smart-sizing -decorations /u:myuser /d:DOMAIN /v:pc.domain.com /f /kbd:0x00000807 /fonts Icon=/home/user/.local/share/applications/rdp.png Terminal=true This will open a Terminal window to type the password for the session. After i fill in the passwort, the session start. Now, if i close the terminal, the Remote Session also closes. How do i prevent that? What i tried so far is, instead to start xfreerdp directly, run a bash script, which usese '&' for spawnig, which not worked. Here is how this is look like: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=xfreerdp RDP Comment=A sample application Exec=/home/user/.local/share/applications/xfreerdp.sh Icon=/home/user/.local/share/applications/rdp.png Terminal=true Here is the xfreerdp.sh script: echo "password:" read p /usr/bin/xfreerdp +clipboard +smart-sizing -decorations /p:$p /u:user /d:DOMAIN /v:pc.domain.com /f /kbd:0x00000807 /fonts &

I'm using xfreerdp to login to a windows machine (runnning windos 7 64bit) on my desk next to my linux machine (running RHEL7). Normally I use: xfreerdp -k uk -g 1280x950 --no-nla --plugin cliprdr Which leaves the audio disabled. I can forward the sound output from the windows machine to my linux box using: xfreerdp --plugin drdynvc --plugin rdpsnd I cannot use the linux microphone device to supply audio to the windows box. I tried: --plugin audin_pulse and setting the registry entry: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp fDisableAudioCapture to 0. I'm not sure how to fix this problem, despite looking at similar questions here. However, the windows box is on my desk so I would be perfectly happy to have use the headphone and mic sockets there instead. **That is I don't want to forward the audio at all just leave it enabled on the remote machine**. Remote desktop seems to disable it (on the windows side I think) by default . Under the old rdesktop program I was able to run -r sound:remote or -r sound:local to do this. What is the equivalent on xfreerdp? [Background: I am aiming to use skype for business on the windows box. It doesn't matter where I plug the headset in as long as I can get it to work. I do have pidgin+sipe working on the linux box but I'm not certain all the features will work]

FreeRDP 1.0.2 has an updated their parameter syntax for "better interoperability with Windows ." I had a problem using the old syntax where the clipboard plugin only worked the first time I pasted, and subsequently stopped: xfreerdp --plugin cliprdr -g 1920x1060 -u Administrator -p xxx n.n.n.n So I decided to try the new syntax, but I can't seem to get it right. The following: xfreerdp +clipboard /size:1920x1060 /u:Administrator /p:xxx /v:n.n.n.n Gives an error: Warning xf_GetWindowProperty (140): Property 385 does not exist transport_connect: getaddrinfo (Name or service not known) Error: protocol security negotiation failure Any advice?

I am trying to setup rdp from my rpi 4 with Raspberry pi OS to my laptop running Arch Linux using Remmina. Currently I cannot rdp from my rpi into any Arch machines (there are two) using Remmina. However, using rdesktop as a client does work. rdesktop is an undesirable solution, as I wish to have access to the features of Remmina and potentially run Remmina straight from X in some kind of makeshift kiosk mode. This is the offending error on Arch VM/BM when running watch systemctl status xrdp during a connection attempt from the rpi to the Arch machines with Remmina: May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [INFO ] xrdp_load_keyboard_layout: keyboard_type keyboard_subtype May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [INFO ] xrdp_load_keyboard_layout: model [] variant [] layout [us] options [] May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [INFO ] TLS connection established from 10.0.0.94 port 43248: TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [INFO ] xrdp_caps_process_pointer: client supports new(color) cursor May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [INFO ] xrdp_process_offscreen_bmpcache: support level 1 cache size 7864320 MB cache entries 2000 May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [INFO ] Loading keymap file /etc/xrdp/km-00000409.ini May 05 23:51:30 zion xrdp: [WARN ] local keymap file for 0x00000409 found and doesn't match built in keymap, using local keymap file May 05 23:51:31 zion xrdp: [ERROR] xrdp_iso_send: trans_write_copy_s failed May 05 23:51:31 zion xrdp: [ERROR] SSL_shutdown: Server closed TLS connection May 05 23:51:31 zion xrdp: [ERROR] Sending [ITU T.125] DisconnectProviderUltimatum failed ---------- I have 4 machines: - Windows 10 Lappy - Arch Linux in a VM - Arch Linux on "Bare Metal" - Raspberry pi OS on rpi "Bare Metal" Here are the success/failure scenarios that I have experienced thus far, which have been repeated and confirmed: |Result|Source|Session Protocol|Destination| |------|------|----------------|----| | PF | ALL | vnc over rdp | rpi| | PF | ALL | xorg over rdp | Arch VM/BM| | S | Win10 | xorg over rdp | rpi| | S | rpi | standard rdp | Win10| | S | Win10 | vnc over rdp | Arch VM/BM| | S | Arch VM/BM | standard rdp | Win10| | TF | rpi | n/a | Arch VM/BM| | S | Arch VM/BM | xorg over rdp | rpi| - S = success - TF = total failure = connection drops before session manager can illicit credentials - PF = partial failure = no window manager started and only backgound of session manager persists - ALL = all machines - VM/BM = Virtual Machine / Bare Metal Despite the xorgxrdp package being installed on Arch VM/BM I cannot start an Xorg session. The most important thing here is establishing an rdp session FROM my rpi to my Arch machines, as the rpi is running as an rdp portal of sorts. I have tried turning off xrdp-sesman to see if that at least results in establishing a connection. My thinking there was maybe it's only the session manager having problems, which assumed the connection is made separately. This configuration does not work, no connection appears possible. ---------- ### Arch Linux VM/BM system/app info (identical systems) ### xrdp version: xrdp -v xrdp 0.9.16 A Remote Desktop Protocol Server.

I have 3 or more windows machines, those I can connect from centos individually using below command xfreerdp /u:username /p:password /v:hostname but what I want is to connect them in parallel, using some shell script like - #!/bin/bash xfreerdp /u:username /p:password /v:host1 & xfreerdp /u:username /p:password /v:host2 & xfreerdp /u:username /p:password /v:host3 wait Try1 : and received the below error, and also it has launched the only single rdp connection. > rdp_set_error_info:freerdp_set_last_error_ex > ERRINFO_DISCONNECTED_BY_OTHER_CONNECTION [0x00010005] Tyr2 : after the above attempt I tried using separate tabs of terminal to start the new RDP session for new VM still it throws same error. Please suggest if any other ways of doing rdp connection in parallel. **Note:** I don't have multimonitors to my system. I want this sessions on single system for different VM's

I am xfreerdp to login to my other pcs. I am storing the connection on bash file, > xfreerdp /multimon /u:{username} /v:{ip:port} /p:{password} > -d:{domain} /f /floatbar /multitransport /network:auto I click on them when I want to connect. But the issue is anyone with access to this machine will get the username and password of my other machines, what is the proper way to store and execute such files. I am relatively new to Linux, so please consider that.

I am trying to start an X server with multiple screens on a single Xvfb like this: Xvfb :50 -screen 0 1792x1120x24 -screen 1 1792x1120x24 and start an RDP connection which will use those two screens: DISPLAY=:50; xfreerdp /w:1792 /h:1120 /monitors:0,1 /multimon /u:... /p... /v:... This doesn't work like this, the xfreerdp process crashes. I've tried some combinations of /span and monitor numbers and /multimon:force and nothing worked. When I'm trying the same with one monitor and one Xvfb screen it works. I also don't understand how do I set resolutions per screen/monitor in xfreerdp since I have just one of each /w and /h. Also tried to xfreerdp /monitor-list after starting Xvfb with one or two screens. After starting Xvfb with one screen, the monitor-list printed it correctly. But with two xvfb screens, the monitor-list printed nothing. Thanks for any answers or even hints!

I am trying to use Remote Desktop connection on Linux. After some research, it seems that `xfreerdp` can do what I need. The basic usage example provided by that tool is: xfreerdp /u:CONTOSO\\JohnDoe /p:Pwd123! /v:rdp.contoso.com Some comments: * `/u corresponds to User name:` in picture 1 * `/v corresponds to Server name:` in picture 2 I also need to enter a `Computer name: (see picture 1). How could xfreerdp ` take this into account? I am ok with using another tool other than `xfreerdp` if it can accomplish this as well.

I would like to extend my two monitors in a FreeRDP session. I want something like . In Windows, we normally go to the displays settings and there we choose to extend the monitors, but I don't know how to do it with FreeRDP. When I run my FreeDRP session, if I specify /span, Windows recognizes my two monitors as a very large one. it is what it currently looks like. I already tried specifying /multimon, /monitors:0,1 and /span options to xfreerdp, but nothing works. How can I achieve what I want? Thanks.

Currently I have a very powerful dedicated server I run Windows 10 on and RDP into from other Windows "thin clients". This works very well and you can barely feel that you're RDPing. Multiple monitors, audio, microphones, USB, etc. all just work. I'd prefer to be using Linux, Manjaro or any of the Debian/Ubuntu flavours, on the dedicated server with a desktop environment. And I wouldn't mind if my thin clients used Linux or Windows. I've tried VNC , xrdp, freerdp, nomachine, etc, but none are as performant, stable, and feature-rich as RDP on Microsoft Windows. They still feel very remote. I only need a single session at a time, and I only ever use one client at a time. Multi monitor support for my client is a must.

when I log in to a Windows Computer with xfreerdp -v computer -u user --workarea -f the full screen window always appears on the first of my two monitors. Is it possible to tell freerdp to start on the second monitor or maybe to move the window? The standard KDE window moving with Alt+Click does not work with the freerdp window. Searching on the internet, I only found examples regarding multi monitoring with multiple remote screens. But I just want to select the local screen displaying the remote session. I am using freerdp 1.2.0 under Gentoo Linux with KDE 4.14.3. Addition: I am not using different X displays. I have a multi monitor setup with randr, xrandr outputs the following: Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384 DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-I-1 connected 1920x1200+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm 1920x1200 59.95*+ ... DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 connected primary 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm 1920x1200 59.95*+ ...

Im trying to get the USB/Smartcard (Datev Smartcard Reader) redirected to my Windows Server 2019 Remote Desktop Service from my Fedora 31 machine. I tried rdesktop and xfreerdp but none of them are showing the results im looking for. What have i tried: - I installed opensc ccid pcsc-lite pcsc-tools and started the pcscd service in order to get it working in fedora. (Even if i think this is not necessary because its a Smartcard Reader not the smartcard) - I tried to redirect it with rdesktop with the following commands: rdesktop -u $USER -d WINDOWS -r scard rds.my.tld, here the conecction got stuck in the windows login screen. When i removed the -r scard everything worked well so there must be a problem with this switch somehow. - I tried to redirect it with xfreerdp with the following commands: xfreerdp -d WINDOWS -u $USER /usb:dbg,dev:VENDOOR:DEVICE rds.my.tdl xfreerdp -d WINDOWS -u $USER /usb:rules:allow rds.my.tdl xfreerdp -d WINDOWS -u $USER /usb:auto rds.my.tdl xfreerdp -d WINDOWS -u $USER /usb:VENDOOR:DEVICE rds.my.tdl xfreerdp -d WINDOWS -u $USER /smartcard rds.my.tdl With xfreerdp every session worked well but no device was visible anywhere. scardsvr on Windows is enabled and started. I installed all datev tools to make sure drivers are correctly installed. And even tried a normal usb data stick. That did not work too. I have no clue anymore. Am i missing something in windows? # xfreerdp --version This is FreeRDP version 2.0.0-dev5 (n/a) # rdesktop --version Version 1.9.0. Copyright (C) 1999-2016 Matthew Chapman et al.

I'm running xfreerdp on an arm64. The package version is 2.0.0~git20190204.1.2693389a+dfsg1-2~bpo10+1. Sometimes when I run an xfreerdp instance and then move the mouse cursor to the margins of the screen (left/right/bottom), the cursor changes shape to X as in the attached picture. Please explain why this happens, and how to avoid it?

I have changed default RDP port on server from 3389 to 1687. Here is the command I'm trying to connect : xfreerdp /u:administrator /v:177.8.130.250 /p:1687 /size:1280x700 But it returns this error : [01:11:14:846] [23825:23826] [INFO][com.freerdp.client.common.cmdline] - loading channel cliprdr [01:11:14:019] [23825:23826] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.transport] - BIO_should_retry returned a system error 32: Broken pipe [01:11:14:019] [23825:23826] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.nego] - Protocol Security Negotiation Failure [01:11:14:019] [23825:23826] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - freerdp_set_last_error ERRCONNECT_SECURITY_NEGO_CONNECT_FAILED [0x2000C] [01:11:14:019] [23825:23826] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.connection] - Error: protocol security negotiation or connection failure [01:11:14:019] [23825:23826] [ERROR][com.freerdp.client.x11] - Freerdp connect error exit status 1
