Alpine's `x-effect` directive normally removes the attribute when `open` flips true — but without JS that directive never runs, so cards 2..N stay hidden via either `content-visibility: hidden` (Chrome/Edge/Safari 17+ resolve `hidden="until-found"` to that) or `display: none` (older Safari / unknown browsers treat it as a plain boolean `hidden`). Rule (1) above lifts the SCSS-based grid-rows collapse but does NOT override `[hidden]` — the attribute applies a higher-priority `display: none` / `content- visibility: hidden` that wins over grid-template-rows. This rule covers both browser-engine paths: `display: revert` restores the element's normal display (the `grid` utility on the wrapper), `content-visibility: visible` overrides the modern-browser path. */ .rn-ver-body[hidden] { display: revert !important; content-visibility: visible !important; } /* (2) Hide controls that can't do anything without JS so the UI doesn't lie about being interactive: the expand/collapse chevron, the closed-state category chips (Security 3 / Features 5 / …), the section-level expand-all toggle if reintroduced, and the cursor-pointer hint on the header. */ .rn-ver-chevron, .rn-ver-chips, .rn-toggle-all { display: none !important; } .rn-ver-header { cursor: default !important; } /* (3) Hide status pills (Current / Beta / Extended maintenance) and the matching sidebar dots.

Thank you for updating Remote Desktop Manager Linux (RDM Linux) to version 2025.2!

For the full list of changes, check out the release notes.

Here’s a quick look at the most exciting updates:

New features

 

SQL Server management console

Similar to Dataflare, you can now manage SQL databases directly in RDM without having to install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)!

The following actions are supported:

  • Running SQL queries
  • Listing databases
  • Create/Delete database
  • Listing Tables, viewing contents & editing
  • Start/Stop/Restart SQL Server service
  • Manage Logins, Create, Edit, Delete, Reset passwords
  • Manage roles
  • View logs
  • Manage Agent, Jobs

 

HP iLO web session

Support for HP iLO web session is now available in RDM Linux, bringing parity with Windows and macOS!

 

 

Improvements

Performance – significant improvements

We've delivered major performance enhancements for RDM on Linux. Switching between tabs like "Account Information" and vault views no longer triggers unnecessary refreshes. We've also reduced the overhead from excessive ConnectionControlStates creation during UI updates. Additionally, in an upcoming minor update, slow GTK-based getters used to retrieve connection information have been optimized—eliminating delays when navigating large tree views or switching data sources.

 

 

New permissions for VPN/SSH/Gateway and session recording sections

Administrators can now enforce stricter control by assigning specific permissions for editing the VPN/SSH/Gateway and Session Recording sections within entries. This allows users to retain general editing rights (if granted) while preventing changes to critical connection settings.
