Bug Description

Has been the same issue for years. If the keyboard layout on install is selected as South Africa (maybe other counties too) then Remmina will not work. I have to go to /etc/default/keyboard and change XKBLAYOUT="za" to XKBLAYOUT="us" and then it works fine.

Issue persists in 14.04 fresh install. Keyboard layout needs to be changed to US or else remmina will not work.
