[Bug 1034802] Re: remmina/xfreerdp crashes when it becomes a target of 'remote control'

 

urusha, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and a window pops up asking you to report this, but then never opens a new report, you would be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
sudo nano /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently.

Please do not attach your crash report manually to this report and
reopen it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  remmina/xfreerdp crashes when it becomes a target of 'remote control'

Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Remmina/xfreerdp session crashes when I'm trying to view/contol it
  using 'remote control' feature from another session on the same
  windows server. Tested with rdesktop on the other side which doesn't
  crash. It happens every time.

  Actually, this bug report is a part of
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freerdp/+bug/1000356 that
  was partly fixed.

  This issue affected every i386, amd64 (l)ubuntu 12.04 installation I
  tested.

  This is a major issue for our corporate environment which stops us
  from migrating to the new Ubuntu LTS.

  [Test Case]
  - Start Remmina
  - Connect to a random RDP server
  - Start rdesktop or mstsc
  - Connect to the same RDP server with another username (must be admin)
  - Open taskmgr (Task Manager) with admin rights
  - Go to the users, and click 'Remote Control' on the remmina session's user
  => Now Remmina will crash completely.
