Ubuntu: Remmina Copy and Paste not Working

POSSIBLE WORKAROUND:

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

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'll look into compiling the new version later.

At this point, the bug would seem to be a dependency issue. perhaps there are log files that will give more information about this.

A successful work-around (for me) was achieved by running the following (in one command-line):

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

You may have to reboot after this to see the new version of Remmina that this installs (I did).
