EDIT: I am not involved in the remmina project, it just helped me out when I first created this blog post. If you do need support on the project, I suggest you check out the official support forms.
Remmina rocks. One window with tabs for all your RDP, VNC, SSH and NX connections is awesome!
Here are some (very) brief instructions on getting it installed on Ubuntu Lucid:
Install Deps:
sudo aptitude install libpanelappletmm-2.6-dev libtelepathy-glib-dev build-essential autoconf automake libtool libssl-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libasound2-dev intltool libgtk2.0-dev libgcrypt-dev libssh-dev libvte-dev libunique-dev libavahi-ui-dev libtool libgnutls-dev libgnutls-dev libxkbfile1 libxkbfile-dev
Download the freeRDP support:
git clone git://freerdp.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/freerdp/freerdp.git freerdp
Compile FreeRDP:
cd freerdp
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Get Remmina:
svn co https://remmina.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/remmina/ remmina
Install Remmina:
cd remmina/trunk/remmina
export RDP_LIBS=/usr/local/bin
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Install the Gnome Applet:
cd ../remmina-gnome/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Install the plugins:
cd ../remmina-plugins
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Start Remmina:

DevOps Is Common Sense... 
It seems that my build of remmina will not compile (with rdp support enabled). I installed freerdp, but it seems that remmina-plugins’s configure script is unable to detect them. What exactly is the script looking for to enable freerdp? libs? headers?
Thanks 😀

Hi Luca,
Can you post the output from the remmina configure process somewhere (Gist/github or similar?)
Thanks,
PF.

OR you can just do a
sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-gnome

Sure, but last I looked that didn’t get you the SSH support as well as RDP and NX.
If that’s changed, please let me know!

removing rdp5_ seems to fix it….

Remmina is now in Ubuntu stock install so it might be worth upgrading.

Hi Mike,
I think you’re probably better off posting this in the forums @ http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/remmina/ – I’m not involved in the Remmina project, it just scratched an itch at the time so I thought I’d blog on how to install it.
I’ve updated the article to reflect this, sorry if this isn’t the answer you were looking for… 😦
Kind regards,
PF.
