Ubuntu – remmina no longer working “cannot connect to RDP server localhost”

rdpremmina

Until sometime last night, I had remmina working fine. I could run RDP through an SSH tunnel and all was well.

Then it stopped working. I can get as far as the password dialog for my work machine, but then it just says Cannot connect to RDP server localhost.

I can't even find any logs that look interesting. I've re-installed remmina, cleared my .remmina directory, restarted my machine, and even restarted my gateway.

Just to make it really weird, my laptop (which has the same setup — latest Ubuntu and Remmina) can make the connection just fine. It is even going through the same router, albeit wirelessly.

Any thoughts?

I have no idea why it worked, but I started changing settings one at a time. When I edited the connection properties, I looked on the "advanced" tab and changed the security from "negotiate" to "TLS", and voila, everything works.

Strangely, "negotiate" still works on the laptop, but at least I'm back in business with my bigger monitor :)
