Bug#879177: Remmina: Not connecting to Windows 7 using RDP connection

[Ali Sayed]

Hi There -


Here is some additional details, as you had requested.


On Debian Stretch, I installed Remmina from the "sid" repo : apt-get -t 
sid install remmina, and it runs fine:

On Debian Buster, I installed Remmina from the "buster" repo, and its 
NOT CONNECTING !
