Broke Remmina

jblain · 2017-09-11 15:32:42

I have been using Remmina for quite some time but I seem to have broken it

Now when I try to start it from a command line, it just hangs...

I know this is too little info but at the moment this is all I have. Any suggestions

Version? Pacman log (the full one)?

Moving to NC...

After some more testing I have a little bit more info, Remmina actually does not hang on startup but it takes a long time (2 or 3 minutes) before it actually shows its window ??!!

Then if I try to connect to a remote desktop it can take 4 or 5 more minutes before I actually get the remote desktop on my screen. For all intent and purposes it is as if remmina was working at an ridiculously slow speed that makes it unusable

I tried both the aur remmina-git package and the pacman remmina-1:1.2.0rcgit.19-1 package. This is the one I currently am running.

I cannot reproduce this behavior. I'm using remmina + freerdp with Gnome/Wayland and just tried with Openbox under Xorg, it's running fine, I noticed no difference. System is up to date. You could try a "strace -t remmina" to debug this. It's output could give a hint where it hangs.

I have the exact same setup you have

strace gives the following

....
....
....

14:55:30 eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 7
14:55:30 write(6, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d8209c10, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d8246990, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d823b0b8, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:55:30 poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}])
14:55:30 read(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8
14:55:30 write(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d82520b0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
14:55:30 close(7) = 0
14:55:30 stat(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
14:55:30 stat("/home/jblain", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
14:55:30 eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 7
14:55:30 futex(0x7fe2b01ef4a8, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
14:55:30 fcntl(0, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 0) = 8
14:55:30 write(6, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d8209c10, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d8246990, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:55:30 futex(0x5607d823b0b8, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:55:30 close(8) = 0
14:55:30 poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1

Stays here for about 5 minutes and then

([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}])
14:58:45 read(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8
14:58:45 write(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
14:58:45 futex(0x5607d82521e0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
14:58:45 write(6, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
14:58:45 futex(0x5607d8209c10, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:58:45 futex(0x5607d8246990, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
14:58:45 futex(0x5607d824f270, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL) = 0
14:58:45 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
14:58:45 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
14:58:45 getpid() = 11465
14:58:45 getpid() = 11465
14:58:45 exit_group(0) = ?
14:58:45 +++ exited with 0 +++

At this point I see the Remina Remote Desktop Client Window appear on screen. But all my usual connection on that screen will just give me an error when I try to connect

Read the Code of Conduct and use code tags: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

Hm. strace helped me in the past with some clear errors in the syscalls. Sorry, I can't get a hint by this strace output. Maybe someone with more knowledge of syscall tracing?

jblain · 2017-09-12 13:03:57

I have managed to find the source of the problem but I do not know how to fix it

I run arch/wayland/gnome without a display manager so I have 2 choices when I start Gnome :

1-) Unlock the gnome keyring manually every time, in this case remmina works

2) Follow this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GN … side_GNOME , in this case
Gnome automatically unlocks the Keyring but remmina does not work. There is obviously a need for additionnal steps but I cannot find them on the wiki

Any suggestions ?
