Testing under Ubuntu with the remmina-next-daily PPA

Remmina users using Ubuntu and derivatives are warmly invited to use our remmina-next PPA, as explained in our Remmina Wiki Homepage. The remmina-next PPA is updated every official release, therefore it can be considered stable.

We also provide an unstable PPA, called remmina-next-daily. remmina-next-daily is updated daily and contains our latest patches we push on the next github branch.

If you want to help testing remmina before an official release, you can switch to the remmina-next-daily by using the following instructions:

  1. Install the ppa-purge package sudo apt install ppa-purge
  2. Purge the remmina-next PPA sudo ppa-purge ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next
  3. Install the remmina-next-daily PPA
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next-daily
sudo apt update
  1. Install remmina packages
  • if not installed previously
sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp libfreerdp-plugins-standard
  • if installed previously, just do:
sudo apt upgrade

You might need to perform the following command to remove the previous remmina from memory:

sudo killall remmina

Happy testing :)
