Remote desktop connection color not proper












5















I am using lubutu 13.10.I have installed remima in it.When i connect to remote connection which is windows server 2008 the display is not proper.It has different colour some weird colours.I have updated video drivers.










share|improve this question























  • just a quick related note. I'd not seen the 'color depth' setting on the profile for my connection, and I realised after reading this that the profile box scrolls; the color depth option was there, but hidden. The scroll isn't obvious when using a high DPI screen.

Launch Remmina , right click your connection and click edit. In the remote desktop preference window, change the color depth to true color (32bpp) and save the settings. Reconnect and you are done.

  • Never heard of remmina before, but glad I did today. Finally can see proper mouse cursor and colors with a remote desktop application. Thanks.

  • There's no connection, I just type the host into the box. I tried to open preferences under the main menu, but it doesn't show color depth anywhere...

  • If you right-click Remmina instead of opening it then Create a New Connection Profile you'll find the Color depth option in there

I get the same problem due to 32 bit screen on Linux and 24 bit on Windows server 2008 r2.



$ rdesktop hostname
WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16


If I instead run



rdesktop -a 32 hostname


I get no such warning.

I get the same problem due to 32 bit screen on Linux and 24 bit on Windows server 2008 r2.



$ rdesktop hostname
WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16


If I instead run



rdesktop -a 32 hostname


I get no such warning.

  • Also when using remote desktop to Windows the aero style gets disabled by default which will make it look slightly different.
