net-misc/freerdp fails to run when using an rdp file, complaining that cannot load addins. However, it is able to connect to a local Win10 VM without problem. Both stable and unstable versions of net-misc/freerdp have the same issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xfreerdp <example.rdp> <options> 2. error message is shown and xfreerdp exits Actual Results: Error log: [18:23:55:158] [10822:00002a47] [DEBUG][com.freerdp.core] - [freerdp_connect_begin]: resetting error state [18:23:55:158] [10822:00002a47] [INFO][com.freerdp.client.x11] - [xf_setup_x11]: Enabling X11 debug mode.

Please provide a link to the upstream issue.
Hi, This is the upstream issue I opened: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/9591 Thanks Jordi
Could you attach an rdp file that triggers the problem?
Please find attached an RDP file that exhibits the issue. I think the problem lies in the drivestoredirect:s: (line 31 in the rdp file attached). If I remove this line, the connection opens and I can log in the machine. This RDP file is from a local Win10 machine that I fire up with Qemu. I can log in the machine without using an RDP file and with driveredirect.
Created attachment 887711 [details] Example of RDP file
I am able to reproduce the issue using an RDP file containing only this setting: drivestoredirect:s:C:\; I think there are 2 problems here: 1. That value is malformed. Based on the documentation the backslash should come before the colon to escape it like this: drivestoredirect:s:C\:; Docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/rdp-files 2. Linux has no concept of a "C" drive, so this can never actually work anyway. If I update the setting to point at my home directory, it seems to resolve the error. drivestoredirect:s:/home/floppym;
Thank you for the testing. I can confirm that removing the line solves the issue. I have created the following issue upstream to see if they can either produce a more meaningful error or issue a warning, ignore the line and continue to connect to remote host. https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/9989
Issue upstream has been resolved and closed. Thanks for the support!
