How do I use dual monitors with Remmina Remote Desktop Client?

Question

I am trying to use my two monitors when I use Remmina remote desktop client. There is no option for using all monitors like RDP in Windows.

Does any one know how can I accomplish that with Remmina?

This is the option I'm talking about in Windows RDP:

Answer 1

I think that remmina can't do this at the moment.

But you can use the xfreerdp command from your terminal:

xfreerdp /multimon /u:username /v:server_address:server_port

where username is your username on server, server_address is server location (IP address or hostname) and server_port is port (leave empty without ":" for default port).

If you don't have xfreerdp installed, you can install it from terminal:

sudo apt-get install freerdp2-x11

Answer 2

this works in remmina 1.4.25 it is now a simply checkbox

Answer 3

I figured out a workaround for RDPing into Windows. Create a .rdp file in windows, open it with a text editor, make sure multimonitor is set to 1. Copy it to your Linux system, open with Remmina in windowed mode (not full screen), and connect. In the left pane, click the TOGGLE DYNAMIC RESOLUTION UPDATE, leaving in window stretch to all your display, and voila!
