Issue with Custom freerdp Command in Flatpak Installation

[eternity4318]

I am experiencing an issue with xfreerdp version 3 installed via Flatpak. When I specify the custom xfreerdp command flatpak run com.freerdp.FreeRDP, I receive you have supplied a custom FreeRDP command, but the command is not available.

[oskardotglobal]

The config option has to be a single command. However, you could write a shell wrapper, make it executable and specity that in the config like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
flatpak run --command=xfreerdp com.freerdp.FreeRDP "$@"

Make sure the flatpak version is freerdp3 though.

[eternity4318]

Thank you so much for your help.

After I created the above command and ran bin/winapps check, the screen freezes up (either trying to log in or just a black screen). Could this be due to not deleting known hosts? If yes, I can't seem to find the file in Flatpak.

@menachem1 Could you post your system info and winapps logs?

[eternity4318]

Thank you for taking the time to help. Here is my bin/winapps check logs. I ran it twice, and here are the results.

Every time I run it, it freezes my screen. also What command should i run to get sys info?

[LDprg]

@menachem1 For sys info just run neofetch.

You are using sdl-freerdp. It doesn't support streaming apps only (this will change but takes some time). Since winapps check runs the explorer it won't work. Use the x11 command instead.

[eternity4318]

Are you referring to freerdp2-x11 Or is x11 something I can add to the flatpak command?

[LDprg]

Are you referring to freerdp2-x11 Or is x11 something I can add to the flatpak command?

I mean freerdp3-x11.

[eternity4318]

flatpak with freerdp3-x11 How should I go about enabling x11 with flatpak?

[eternity4318]

Sorry about all the questions I'm new to this.

Can you share the output of:

[MrTumnis]

You can try to download http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/f/freerdp3/freerdp3-x11_3.5.1+dfsg1-0ubuntu1_arm64.deb Then dpkg it. It will likely need the updated dependencies.

[eternity4318]

I am not using an ARM CPU.

[eternity4318]

uname -m x86_64

[MrTumnis]

My bad. But the method remains the same. you would just need to locate the freerdp3 deb package.

[eternity4318]

Basically, I ran into dependency hell trying to install a deb package, but what did work is appending --command=xfreerdp to flatpak run --command=xfreerdp com.freerdp.FreeRDP

[MrTumnis]

You can check out the flatpak docs and possibly enable the x11 socket. https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html

You could also try building the docker container using sudo or create a distrobox of a current distro that already has freerdp3 (ex:Fedora40), download it in the box, then export it to the host.

[eternity4318]

Ok that works thanks, (only for the check not installer but will look through other issues to see if I can find a solution to that) Thanks again for all your help
