Hello,
i installed the freerdp2-x11 package from the bionic sources (my current ubuntu is 18.04.3 LTS) and tried running a certain application called "Sfirm" on a Windows Server 2016 Essentials. At the beginning it loads normaly, but as soon as i get to the login window, after a few seconds, the window reloads and doesn't respond anymore (no response), so i can't login (can#t type anything in the prompts) and only close the window and with that the application.
I also tried running the freerdp nightly version, but it doesn't work there as well in this ubuntu version.
So i used virtual box to see, if it works on an older ubuntu version (ubuntu 16.04) and somehow it works without the application not responding as soon as i get to the login window!
So something changed from 16.04 to 18.04, which causes this problem and i really need some help or fixes in this regard.
Here the outputs from different commands:
"lsb_release -rd"

ADDITION:
Hello everyone again,
after testing out some stuff, i found out, that the problem lies with the ubuntu default window manager.
I tried using freerdp (the nightly version) with some different window manager (e.g. IceWM) and its works fine with these.
The only one, which doesn't work with all the different Window manager i tried, is the default one in ubuntu 18.04.
But i want to open the remoteapp in the default ubuntu window manager, since i don#t want to work in a completly different enviroment.
Maybe there is someone with a solution for this problem.
Either a fix for running the remoteapp in the default window manager or open the remoteapp WITH another window manager, while still in the default one?
Kind regards.
