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. If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/. Test Case 1 ----------- Unfortunately, we weren't able to identify a reliable test case. 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 ------------------- [racb] This upload contains a significant rewrite of thread handling code. So the scope of a regression appears to be wide. Deadlocks, crashes and other race conditions may appear anywhere. 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.
