Troubleshooting Tips

If you receive a “connection refused” error:
  • Verify the IP address is correct
  • Wait at least 10 minutes after receiving credentials
  • Check if port 5909 is blocked by your firewall: sudo ufw allow 5909/tcp
If you see a black screen after connecting:
  • Wait 30-60 seconds for the desktop to load
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting
  • In Remmina, try changing color depth to “True Color (24 bpp)”
To enable clipboard sharing:
  • Remmina: Enable “Use client resolution” in Advanced tab
  • xfreerdp: Add /clipboard to your connection command
For better performance on slower connections:
  • Remmina: Reduce color depth to “High Color (16 bpp)”
  • xfreerdp: Add /compression /network:modem to your command
  • Disable desktop wallpaper and visual effects in Windows
