Remmina can't remote into Windows Server












12














I'm trying to use Remmina on Ubuntu to remote into one of the servers at my work. However, after entering the connection information in I get the following error:



"You requested an H264 GFX mode for ser X@X.com, but your libfreedp does not support H264. Please check colour depth settings."



I am quite new to Ubuntu in general so I am not really sure what to do about the above error.



Could anybody help me out?



Cheers

          quoting from the following link:




          in the profile Basic settings, change the colour depth untill you find the one that is supported by your server.




          from that link
