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.

just a quick related note. I'd not seen the 'color depth' setting on the profile for my connection, and I realised after reading this that the profile box scrolls; the color depth option was there, but hidden. The scroll isn't obvious when using a high DPI screen.– Cody MMar 7, 2019 at 1:05

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.

Never heard of remmina before, but glad I did today. Finally can see proper mouse cursor and colors with a remote desktop application. Thanks. May 3, 2016 at 11:06

There's no connection, I just type the host into the box. I tried to open preferences under the main menu, but it doesn't show color depth anywhere...– MichaelSep 4, 2018 at 19:10

If you right-click Remmina instead of opening it then Create a New Connection Profile you'll find the Color depth option in there– flerbSep 6, 2018 at 3:44

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.

Also when using remote desktop to Windows the aero style gets disabled by default which will make it look slightly different. Jan 17, 2014 at 11:48
