I am trying to connect to my system remotely through the krdp server. I get different results depending on which RDP client I use on my phone. Microsoft’s RD Client prompts Plasma to show the request. I accept the request and enter my credentials, but once I finish that it just errors back out to the RDP connection screen. aFreeRDP allows me to connect, but once connected shows a black display. The mouse input, however, does work. I’ve tried adjusting all available graphical settings present, but to no avail. The app is using H.264 encoding. I found another post mentioning an almost identical issue, but I don’t know what the OP means by “I didn’t have all media Codecs installed for H.264”. I have the x264 package installed from pacman. I’m not exactly sure what else I would need, assuming this is the issue I am facing.
Below I will attach my garuda-inxi output which should show some useful relative system info if needed. Thank you for reading/responding :)!
