Bad colors with Remmina after 13.04 upgrade

[jamesdcarroll]

I just upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04. No problems that I can find except that Remmina is now not displaying colors properly when I connect to my Win 7 machines. I don't know if its reversing RGB->BGR or what its doing. It also seems to crash more than it did before, but I've grown to tolerate that. What I can't take is the horrible display. It occurs with all quality settings and color depths.

Please help. I spend basically my entire working day RDP'ing into that machine for work.

Thanks,
James

Well, whatever it is it doesn't affect GRDesktop.

And uninstall/re-install doesn't help.

Grrrr!!

I am having the same issue with ubuntu 12.1 . It is the first time I have tried Remina. It works really well, but the colors are atrocious. I am going to try it on another machine and see if that changes anything.

I went into the advanced settings on Remina and turned the color up to High. That definitely helped. It no longer looks terrible.

Reinstalled 12.04 LTS and the colors are fixed. I also did a LBuntu 13.04 install first (I've grown to like lxde) and it also showed the bad colors. To me all signs point to something breaking in 13.04.

Did anyone find a fix for this? when I rdp to any of my 2008 R2 Terminal servers the colors are horrible and I have tried the resolution settings to best(slow) and anything else I can find but I cant really use it like this.

Not that I am aware of and I have and watch bugs on the Ubuntu and Remmina bug lists. I'm sticking with the LTS for now, but if it doesn't get fixed by the time I want to upgrade next time I'll probably move to another distro.

UPDATE: System started getting flaky and decided to upgrade MOBO, CPU, RAM, etc. Running on 14.04 LTS now and have no issues. Willing to accept that it probably had something to do with really old hardware and drivers.
