--- Comment #22 from Tony Murray <murrayt...@gmail.com> --- KRDC originally used rdesktop for rdp, which did not have a library, so the only option was to xembed. When KRDC switched to FreeRDP, the easiest option was to map the existing xembed to the xfreerdp client, this worked well initially. Basically, the best (but most difficult) path forward is to create a new rdp backend utilizing libfreerdp2. Unfortunately, KRDC has no active maintainer currently. (My time is otherwise occupied and I am not a very good C++ coder) On Fri, Dec 10, 2021 at 12:27 AM Krisztián Szegi <bugzilla_nore...@kde.org> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377911 > > Krisztián Szegi <crosssz...@gmail.com> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |crosssz...@gmail.com > > --- Comment #21 from Krisztián Szegi <crosssz...@gmail.com> --- > Hi all, > Excuse me for the heresy but: > > For two weeks, KRDC just crashed akonadi when connecting to a remote with > RDP > on wayland, so I had to look at different solutions: I used Remmina! > I did not test KRDC regularily, but now it is "working" again.
