v2.6.1: Android -> remote Clipboard sync does not work #256

Closed gothka404 closed 2 weeks ago

gothka404 commented 1 month ago

Hi, first I'd like to thank you for this awesome app. Came to conclusion this is the best available FOSS android app!

Everything worked smoothly except pasting clipboard from Android client to remote device. Clipboard sync from remote -> client works though.

Client environment:

Server environment:

Reproduction/observations:

Current workaround:

Let me know, if I can be of any assistance.

Thanks for the detailed write-up and testing. Let me see if I can reproduce the issue.

In the meantime, can you please copy the logs from Settings -> Tools -> Logs, and paste here. You don't have to copy something in other app, if you type something in "Send text to server" box and copy it, AVNC should try to send it to server.

Sure:

Thank you very much for the quick support.

It looks like a bug in extended clipboard implementation of LibVNCClient (VNC library used by AVNC), but it will take some time to find the root cause.

gothka404 commented 1 month ago

Interesting, thanks for the status update! Take your time, I (probably) won't be of any help debugging this lib.

gujjwal00 commented 3 weeks ago

So this is actually a bug in Gnome Remote Desktop. GRD doesn't handle UTF8 clipboard text, but still advertises support for it. When AVNC sends UTF8 clipboard text, GRD silently discards it. Remmina works because it is not sending UTF8 text ( try to copy some emojis ).

You can open a issue in GRD repo if you want. It's a relatively easy fix because internally GRD already uses UTF8. I will try to send a patch if I can find some time.

gothka404 commented 3 weeks ago

@gujjwal00 Awesome!

Unfortunately I needed to wipe my testing machine. When having time, I will reinstall it, test out UTF-8 clipboard text handling with my environment, create an issue in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop and report that back to you, so you might add technical details beyond bare user story and possibly link a patch to it.

Alternatively feel free to create the issue yourself, if it makes sense for you to directly add technical details.

Having sorted this error out, AVNC definitely is the way to go for me with GRD >= 47 (with VNC support), as best mobile client from all RDP + VNC apps available.

Thanks again very much for having gone this debugging route!
