After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10, I enjoyed "copy and paste" working for about 2 or 3 weeks, and then it stopped again.
To fix I had to upgrade to the Remmina Next repository, which I installed like this: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp After rebooting, the "copy and paste" functionality began working again. However, I want to emphasize that this remains an outstanding bug in the main repositories of Ubuntu 15.10, 15.04, 14.10, and I think even 14.04.3. Since the Remmina Next repository works better than what is in the main repositories, I don't understand why "someone with the authority to do so" doesn't just replace what's in the main repositories with what's currently in Remmina Next. ** Tags added: xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to remmina in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439478 Title: Copy and Paste not Working in 15.04 Status in remmina: New Status in remmina package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Remmina is probably one of the top 3 Linux applications "I need working right" to efficiently complete my work day. So, I consider it a critical bug that "copy and pasting" between "local and remote desktops" is not working in the 15.04 beta 2. This is one of those things, where if this is not fixed, I will have to return to Ubuntu 14.04, or figure out a way to install a version of Remmina that actually works correctly in 15.04. This bug has reared its ugly head before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/remmina/+bug/937522 However, the status of that bug seems to be practically closed, so that's the reason for this new posting. I want to do all I can to get this bug the attention it needs. Remmina is crucial for my work. I'm currently dealing with the fact that it crashes a few times a day, but this "copy and paste not working" is a real deal-breaker for me to stay on 15.04.
