The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding
gnome-remote-desktop. This problem was most recently seen with package version
42.0-4ubuntu1, the problem page at
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/77f41623474304919ac793c6665505547b583b60
contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or
traceback, and individual crash reports.

+ Test Case 1
+ -----------
+ Unfortunately, we weren't able to identify a reliable test case.
- It's believed this issue will be fixed with
- https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/pull/7836
+ We will know if this bug is fixed if errors.ubuntu.com stops reporting
+ that error with a fully upgraded system. However, that means this update
+ will need to be pushed to -updates
+
+ Test Case 2
+ -----------
+ Install all updates. Log out and log back in.
+ Open the Settings app to the Sharing page. Turn on Sharing and turn on Remote
Desktop Sharing.
+ Turn it off then on because there may be a gnome-control-center bug with
initial enabling.
+
+ From a second computer, connect to the first computer using Remmina.
+
+ The Remote Desktop page on the first computer provides the username and
+ password to use. I wasn't able to get the "Remote Desktop Address" to
+ work (maybe avahi doesn't work well?) so just use the first computer's
+ IP address.
+
+ So something like:
+ RDP jeremy@192.168.1.1
+
+ Ensure that the connection works.
+
+ Then repeat the test after updating the second computer to use the
+ updated freerdp2 since Remmina itself uses freerdp2. Basically we want
+ to make sure things keep working after the update but also continue to
+ work for connections between systems that aren't using the same version
+ of freerdp2.
+
+ What Could Go Wrong
+ -------------------
+ RDP Sharing using freerdp2 is a new feature for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as part of
GNOME 42.
+
+ RDP Sharing can be used for providing remote support so it's important
+ that this feature works well because it may be difficult for the remote
+ admin to fix issues in person.
+
+ freerdp2 is also used by the Remmina and GNOME Connections apps as the
+ "client" app for RDP Sharing. (The GNOME feature is the "server" side.)
+
+ This fix is cherrypicked from the stable freerdp2 branch.
