Mariano Abad 3f207e91f6 fix(linux): a session logout should hand the peer to the login screen (#15905)
* fix(linux): a session logout should hand the peer to the login screen

Logging out closes every window in the session, the connection manager's
included, and its close handler kicks every peer with the reason a person
gets when they disconnect one by hand. That reason is the one thing the
client never retries on, so the remote session dies on a frozen frame
instead of reconnecting to the greeter that is already there.

The close carries nothing to tell the two apart: measured on KDE, the CM
receives no signal and logind still reports the session active at that
instant, and the server is killed within a few hundred ms either way, so
neither a state check nor a grace period can decide it. What is
distinguishable is the ACTION: disconnecting a peer is not the same event
as this window going away. So the window-close path now says so, and the
server ends the session without poisoning the retry; the Disconnect
button and the app's own close control keep kicking exactly as before.
Linux only, since that is where a logout closes the window.

Verified on plasma/sddm with a client attached: a logout now reconnects
to the greeter with no dialog, while closing the manager window still
shows Closed manually by the peer.

* fix(linux): close the tunnel too, and keep the web build compiling

Three seams the first pass missed. The web bridge is hand written, not
generated, so the new call needs its stub there or flutter build web
stops compiling - and that job is disabled in CI, so it would have gone
green. try_port_forward_loop is a second consumer of the same channel
and only knew Close, so a forwarded tunnel outlived the window it was
supposed to die with. And the variant had landed inside the DRM section,
whose comment says everything below it is drm-gated.

Dependencies

Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI. This tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building the Flutter version.

Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.

Raw Steps to build

  • Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env

  • Install vcpkg, and set VCPKG_ROOT env variable correctly

    • Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
    • Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom
  • run cargo run

Install vcpkg

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
git checkout 2023.04.15
cd ..
vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
export VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg

Fix libvpx (For Fedora)

cd vcpkg/buildtrees/libvpx/src
cd *

Build

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
mkdir -p target/debug

How to build with Docker

Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:

git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .

Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder

Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS> position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:

target/debug/rustdesk

Or, if you're running a release executable:

target/release/rustdesk

Please ensure that you run these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, or the application may not find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install or run are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
