| Summary | 0009197: freerdp3 missing library librdp2tcp-client.so | ||||
| Description | Hi Bug fixers, freerdp2 is no longer available in the Kali repo. This in itself is not an issue however freerdp3 contains a bug where the following error message is observed xfreerdp3 /v:127.0.0.1 /u:'xxxxxx' /d:'xxxx' /cert:ignore /dynamic-resolution /rdp2tcp:"rdp2tcp" | ||||

Thanks for the report. I forwarded the issue to the Debian bug tracker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1106607 I uploaded a tentative fix in Kali, please update your system (I assume you run |

I note the following error lines in the console output, which may or may not be related: [ERROR][TODO] - [SetHandleInformation]: TODO: Implement |

A quick look at the freerdp3 source code refeals that this feature is most likely disabled in xfreerdp3 due to it being incomplete. AFAICT The function "SetHandleInformation" in the file "/winpr/libwinpr/handle/handle.c" will need to be implemented as it is used twice in the rdp2tcp client "/channels/rdp2tcp/client/rdp2tcp_main.c". In freerdp2 this function simply returns true. |

I wonder if the issue is tracked upstream, searching for |

I can confirm after a day or so of testing that despite the "ERROR" message rdp2tcp works as reliably and as effectively as it always did. Which is highly dependent on network conditions. |

Oh, so you mean that the error messages are harmless? Ok ok, will update again the Debian bug. We'll keep building freerdp3 with rdp2tcp support in Kali, and hopefully Debian will do the same soon-ish. Thanks very much for following up with that! |
