Linux VNC crashed immediately in Remmina
I have been using Remmina on Linux for a number of years. I experienced Linux VNC session starting and then crashing immediately for a number of years. I finally decided to figure it out. A quick Google showd the following issue in Github FreeRDP:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/699
Title: VNC window immediately closes after connection attempt
Turns out crashing is happens when I run High color 15bbp (color depth) and a Linux Mint 18.3 KVM on Fedora had Cirrius video with VNC server.
When I set color depth High color (24 bbp) no more crashing.
Wonder if this will fix periodic crashes during other X-Window events which I cannot re-create on demand.

I also still have this problem, both server & client running Ubuntu 18.04, with Remmina - 1.2.0-rcgit-29
Using 24bit color (and changing nothing else) solved it immediately.
