Ask Ubuntu Asked on November 18, 2021
In the past, I have been able to copy and paste text between Windows and Linux remote desktop sessions.
Now for some reason, I cannot do this. I would like to regain this functionality, how might I do that?
I am using Remmina for my remote desktop connection.
When a new connection is being created in REMMINA, selecting the RDP protocol, a shared folder can be enabled, during configuration, in this way the remote computer can view it as a network drive and files can be copied and pasted from this unit shared, no need to install additional software.
I hope this information is useful.

This is not a direct solution for the question but a work around I use I've shared a folder between host computer and remote server using SambaShare there I keep a text file always open at both places basically to copy anything from one another. If nothing works this maybe a good one instead of typing manually.

It's not a solution, but if you don't have time to install anything, reboot, or investigate what's going on:
Close session, restart Remmina and open session again.
It worked for me.

Ok, I was reading the README in the new source code. I got to the line were it says: install dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake intltool libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libvte-2.90-dev libxkbfile-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
cmake is already the newest version.
Suggested packages:
autoconf2.13 autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc libtool
libgtk-3-doc libssh-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
autoconf automake autotools-dev intltool libatk-bridge2.0-dev
libavahi-client-dev libavahi-common-dev libavahi-glib-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-0
libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libdbus-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev
libssl-doc libvte-2.90-dev libvte-2.90-doc libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev
libxkbfile-dev

Need to get 4,839 kB of archives.
After this operation, 28.4 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
Once I installed that, I tested the old version I am currently using, Remmina 0.9.99.1 runs, (as it did) but copy paste functionality has resumed.
The source for version 1 still failed to compile, that's a bummer, but as long as i can copy and paste in a relatively new version, I'm ok with this solution. Try it if you like.

I too am experiencing this in Ubuntu 15.04, for now, all I can do is direct you to the bug I reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/1439478
Update: I ultimately solved this by installing a newer version this way:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp
After doing this, it may require a reboot.
