Unable to save connection remmina RDP

Question

I have been using windows remote desktop from remmina, what i feel so awkward is I don't see the save password button enabled, I need to frequently use my remote connection, and don't like entering username, passwords, etc, everytime...

Help me..

Solution 1

I found out the solution: just rename the Quick Connect appearing in the TextBox to your favorite name, and it is done!

Solution 2

Had the same problem, discovered that there is a bug using snap - removed the snap and reinstalled from remmina repository for ubuntu. Also made sure the permissions were set on ~/.remmina. Works fine now. This is on Xubuntu 16.10. Seems that others have also noted that the issue relates to Xubuntu.

sudo snap remove remmina

[Get repo details from remmina site ]

sudo apt install remmina

Solution 3

Open Remmina, then go to the Preferences (under three bars), then change Remmina data folder to your username.

Solution 4

Also make sure you own the .remmina folder (and all its contents).

$ ls -l --directory ~/.remmina/

Your user name should appear on the ls record like:

drwx------ 2 username username 4096 Jan 1 12:15 /home/username/.remmina

---

If root owns this file, You can correct the permissions like:

# chown --reference ~/ --recursive ~/.remmina/

Notes:

• # Implies "run as root" (eg with sudo), as only root may change ownership of files.
• --reference ~/ Tells chown to copy the ownership of ~/, which bash expands before the command gets executed, and points to your home folder.

Solution 5

create directory ~/.remmina if it doesn't exists and check what you own

did you find a solution?

@sepehr yes i did find, just rename the Quick Connect to any name if your choice, and you are done.

It's a great RDP client. However, it'd be nice if the UI had the following workflow : (Save enabled by default) -> User clicks save -> Error presented that says "Change the name from Quick Connect" -> Name is entered -> Save button works as usual.

well by password, i meant username, password, shared folder, don't u see the last line of my question?

[sepehr]

it didn't worked for me, my version is 0.9.99.1, which version do you use?

[sepehr]

I misunderstood your question, my problem is password doesn't save not in edit box of a connection nor when I want to connect to one of defined servers. each time I have to enter password.

The only answer that actually worked.. why is the accepted password so down at the bottom?
