Unable to save connection remmina RDP

Question

I have been using windows remote desktop from remmina, what i feel so awkward is I don't see the save password button enabled, I need to frequently use my remote connection, and don't like entering username, passwords, etc, everytime...

Help me..

@sepehr yes i did find, just rename the Quick Connect to any name if your choice, and you are done. — shivshnkr, Apr 27 '13 at 12:54
It's a great RDP client. However, it'd be nice if the UI had the following workflow : (Save enabled by default) -> User clicks save -> Error presented that says "Change the name from Quick Connect" -> Name is entered -> Save button works as usual. — blong, Oct 21 '15 at 20:15

I found out the solution: just rename the Quick Connect appearing in the TextBox to your favorite name, and it is done!

it didn't worked for me, my version is 0.9.99.1, which version do you use? – sepehr Apr 28 '13 at 08:14
when you are trying to make a connection, you go to Connection->New, there instead of Quick Connect write any name you want, and type in the ip address, username, and password, you will get the save button enabled. – shivshnkr Apr 28 '13 at 12:54

I misunderstood your question, my problem is password doesn't save not in edit box of a connection nor when I want to connect to one of defined servers. each time I have to enter password. – sepehr Apr 28 '13 at 17:55
The only answer that actually worked.. why is the accepted password so down at the bottom? – Muhammad bin Yusrat May 13 '19 at 01:26

Had the same problem, discovered that there is a bug using snap. Removed the snap and reinstalled from Remmina repository for Ubuntu. Also made sure the permissions were set on ~/.remmina. Works fine now. This is on Xubuntu 16.10. Seems that others have also noted that the issue relates to Xubuntu.

sudo snap remove remmina

Get repo details from Remmina site.

sudo apt install remmina

This was my only solution to get it to save any connections today on 20.04.3 LTS – BrianBlaze Sep 01 '21 at 13:34
Check also the flatpak version, probably more updated. Here how to move from snap – Pablo Bianchi Jul 15 '23 at 04:10

Open Remmina, then go to the Preferences (under three bars), then change Remmina data folder to your username.

Also make sure you own the .remmina folder (and all its contents).

$ ls -l --directory ~/.remmina/

Your user name should appear on the ls record like:

drwx------ 2 username username 4096 Jan 1 12:15 /home/username/.remmina

If root owns this file, You can correct the permissions like:

# chown --reference ~/ --recursive ~/.remmina/

Notes:

# Implies "run as root" (eg with sudo), as only root may change ownership of files.
--reference ~/ Tells chown to copy the ownership of ~/, which bash expands before the command gets executed, and points to your home folder.

create directory ~/.remmina if it doesn't exists and check what you own

You need to save your connection, total connection not only your password.
