Remote desktop connection color not proper

I'm using Lubuntu 13.10. I have installed Remmina in it. When I connect to remote connection which is Windows Server 2008 the display is not proper. It has different colour some weird colours. I have updated video drivers.


Solution 1:

Launch Remmina , right click your connection and click edit. In the remote desktop preference window, change the color depth to true color (32bpp) and save the settings. Reconnect and you are done.

Solution 2:

I get the same problem due to 32 bit screen on Linux and 24 bit on Windows server 2008 r2.

$ rdesktop hostname
WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16

If I instead run

rdesktop -a 32 hostname

I get no such warning.
