<div id="projectbrief">Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks. Remmina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistent user interface. Currently RDP, VNC, NX, XDMCP and SSH are supported.</div>

</div>
<p>The _<code>GtkSocket</code>_ feature has been deprecated for a while now, and is no longer supported in GTK4. It uses the X11-only feature _<code>XEmbed</code>_, meaning <b>it can't be used under _<code>Wayland</code>_ natively.</b></p>
<h1>Best workaround</h1>
<p><b>Don't worry! There is a possible solution if you want to use Remmina in a <em>Wayland</em> session instead of an <em>X11</em> session.</b></p>
<p>You can force Remmina to start as an _<code>X client</code>_ instead of a native _<code>Wayland client</code>_ (see illustration below) by setting an _<code>environment variable</code>_ before starting Remmina.</p>
<p>Try to start Remmina like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>First open a _<code>terminal emulator</code>_. (like QTerminal, GNOME Terminal, Mate Terminal, Alacritty, XTerm…) More than likely you don't have to install one yourself, since most distributions come with a terminal emulator preinstalled.</li>
<li>Type in the following and press the enter key:</li>

<div class="fragment"><div class="line">GDK_BACKEND=x11 remmina</div></div><!-- fragment --><ul>
<li>Remmina should start and everything should <b>just work</b> ;)</li>

<h1>Future solutions</h1>
<p>A significant change for the better would be to <b>removing the X11-only</b> _<code>XEmbed</code>_ feature dependency from the architecture of the X2Go plugin.</p>
<p>This does requires a lot of work though. If you can imagine funding this heavy-lifting work, please get in touch with the Remmina project maintainers over some virtual coffee. </p>
