According to https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp#command-line-options you can use `--monitor` option in KRdp – "The index of the monitor to use for streaming video. If not supplied the whole workspace is used."

Thanks, I've been able to establish a RDP connection by launching krdpserver as follows krdpserver \ --username myuser \ --password mypassword \ --certificate mycert.cer \ --certificate-key mycert.key \ --monitor 0 This showed my main monitor successfully on the client. The krdp package I have installed today in my Fedora boxes is version 6.3.3-1.fc41. > Thanks, I've been able to establish a RDP connection by launching krdpserver as follows
Are you starting KRdp manually?
You can turn "Autostart on login" option in System Settings -> Remote Desktop.
Unfortunately the Remote Desktop control panel does not offer the option to choose a monitor, and thus the "Autostart on login" doesn't really work for me. However, I've been able to define a systemd user service to start krdpserver with the options I need. I think you should be able to set your ExecStart in a drop-in file without creating new service file. The unit is at /usr/lib/systemd/user/app-org.kde.krdpserver.service so the drop-in file should be placed inside ~/.config/systemd/user/app-org.kde.krdpserver directory. This has the advantage of keeping in sync with eventual, future upstream changes to the unit. Piotr, Thanks for your assistance, I got remote desktop working acceptably with Fedora 41. I think that this bug can be closed now. Hi - just to check, while it sounds like there's a solution for you using a manually-created drop-in file, is the feature request here of having a "choose screen" option presented in System Settings > Remote Desktop still potentially valid? Thanks! 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information, then set the bug status to REPORTED.

Yes, the feature request to have the ability to choose a screen for krdpserver to show is still valid. |
