Remmina with Gnome 43

General system Applications

Hello,

I just updated my system. I pulled in Gnome 43 (which I use) which updated both libsoup2 and libsoup3:

Now, Remmina (the RDP client) will no longer run on my system. It complains:

$ remmina
remmina-Message: 10:02:23.238: Remmina does not log all output statements. Turn on more verbose output by using "G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all" as an environment variable.
More info available on the Remmina wiki at:
https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/wikis/Usage/Remmina-debugging
Load modules from /usr/lib/remmina/plugins
Failed to load plugin: /usr/lib/remmina/plugins/remmina-plugin-kwallet.so.
Error: libKF5Wallet.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Remmina plugin glibsecret (type=Secret) has been registered, but is not yet initialized/activated. The initialization order is 2000.

(process:10813): libsoup-ERROR **: 10:02:23.270: libsoup2 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I am pretty sure from the above pacman log that both were installed prior to the upgrade and remmina used to work fine… Either way, any idea what I can do to fix this?

uninstall remove the spice plugin

Just to clarify something regarding the solution: the spice plugin is included in the main remmina package:

$ yay -Ql remmina | grep -i spice
remmina /usr/lib/remmina/plugins/remmina-plugin-spice.so
remmina /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/emblems/org.remmina.Remmina-spice-ssh-symbolic.svg
remmina /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/emblems/org.remmina.Remmina-spice-symbolic.svg

What I’ve done is remove that particular library:

sudo rm /usr/lib/remmina/plugins/remmina-plugin-spice.so

Since I only use RDP, this is not an issue for me…

A couple of months ago I ran into issues with the krdc app and got so frustrated I created a script template to handle my connections thus limiting my dependency to freerdp.

The template handles if session is wayland or x11

Today the package was updated and it seems the workaround is no longer needed:

[2022-11-03T10:38:55+0000] [ALPM] upgraded remmina (1:1.4.27-2 -> 1:1.4.27-4)

Version 1.4.27-4 works for me out of the box with Gnome 43.
