Fix no RDP option in Remmina

Remmina is a remote desktop client for POSIX-based computer operating systems. It supports the Remote Desktop Protocol, VNC, NX, XDMCP, SPICE, and SSH protocols.

I feel Managing RDP and SSH is better with Remmina. Why? One Click launch is a Great time saver for me.

Currently I switched to Linux Mint. Feel it's way better than Normal Ubuntu. Also minimal resource consumer. I'll write a Post about this soon explaining why.

I Installed remmina and launched it and tried clicking the option to switch b/w SSH to RDP. But I felt there is no RDP Plugin installed.

Upon Checking, I confirmed there is no RDP plugin installed. You can check using Menu -> Plugins in Remmina.

Fix Remmina no RDP

So, I fired up the Terminal and run these command one by one.

sudo killall remmina

Above command will kill/force stop all the Instances of Remmina.

Now try running Remmina again. Hopefully it'll get fixed. If not, Please continue below.

sudo apt-get purge remmina* -y

This will completely remove installed remmina from system.

Upon running the below command, will remove all the preferences of remmina

Now run below commands to install Remmina with RDP and VNC Plugin.

sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-vnc remmina-plugin-rdp

Now, Check Menu -> Plugins. Now you can see VNC and RDP are installed.
