Remmina VNC client issues (crashing, not responding etc.)

Hi all,

I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced issues with remmina? I use remmina all day, everyday I am experiencing the following issues. These issues all occur regularly (a few times every day) which is what makes remmina very unusable.

Issues:

  • Crashes randomly. Sometimes I am not even interacting with remmina and it crashes

  • Stops responding. Remmina itself doesn't stop responding but the session does not respond so I have to kill the vnc session and restart it. I often have several vnc sessions and usually only the one I am or have just been interacting with stops responding. The rest are OK.

  • Cannot remember passwords. This used to work when I first installed remmina but then stopped working for some reason.

Here is my remmina version:

s5s% remmina --version

Re: Remmina VNC client issues (crashing, not responding etc.)

Can't really help other than to say that I use remmina frequently on Arch X86_64 for vnc and it has always worked fine. My version is same as yours. I always use it connected to localhost then tunnelled via ssh. Not sure it that makes a difference.

Re: Remmina VNC client issues (crashing, not responding etc.)

AFAIR, remmina's problems remembering passwords began with the latest gnome-keyring update. Unfortunately, I need gnome-keyring as dependency for something else and when gnome-keyring is there, remmina is stubbornly using it.

I have an additional problem:
Whenever I edit (or add or even delete) a connection configuration in the remmina main window, it freezes for 25 seconds. The same whenever I close a session. I suspect this freezing problem also has something to do with the gnome-keyring update.

Not sure if it matters, but I am using remmina on XFCE.

Edit:
I just unchecked the option "Remember last view mode for each connection" in the remmina preferences. Now the freezing is gone. Even after re-cehcking that option. That's quite strange !

Edit 2:
Don't know why, but the freeze when closing a connection is back. And this time, unchecking "Remember last view mode for each connection" did not help.
