[Ravi Shanker KV]

am on ubuntu 18.04 upgraded from 16.04

now am seeing this bug on 18.04 only

earlier i had no problem with color depth using remmina.

could you please upgrade freerdp to support h264 mode.

Having the same problem here too, I upgraded from 17.10.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The workaround is to choose a Color Depth which does not require H264 (GFX RFX, RFX, 32bpp or 16bpp, or one which works), save it as default, save the profile and connect.

I have the same problem, after upgraded to 18.04 from 16.04

Please try this fix till they add any support. Go to remmina -> (+) button -> basic (tab) -> set 'color depth = 256 colours (8 bbp)'.

add "server name" and "address". and hit "save and close".
