AFAIK wlfreerdp does not support RAIL or Remote apps https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/5076 The wlfreerdp is there just for testing or while using full sessions. So if you want to use remote apps its recommended to use xfreerdp with Xwayland until freerdp wayland client has RAIL support !

Fant0mic commented 2 years ago

Sorry to bother but could you explain how to use xwayland for cassowary remote apps

casualsnek commented 2 years ago

Set xfreerdp as client for app session and Xwayland should be used in wayland sessions, Xwayland itself is started by wayland compositor itself. For Gnome's mutter and KDE's kwin Xwayland should start right away normally. But if you are using other compositor, you can check their documentation on how to start Xwayland !

Problem is that it doesn't issue anything but a timeout while using XFreeRDP, and it only work on full RDP session while using WLFreeRDP. So if we want to use app sessions on WayLand, it's a bit complicated

Does full sessions work while using Xfreerdp ? If yes there seems to be issue within windows component that may need to be checked ! Can you share logs from the windows system and linux system after you get the timeout error ?

bphd commented 2 years ago

If I remember correctly, the full session never worked on X, but it rarely worked on WL when the connection would be established because of random hacking

I've shared you all my logs about Cassowary in the other issue
