Session window disappears when connecting to KDE

[doertel]

I have also the problem that after update from 22.04 to 24.04 with KDE the nxplayer crashes. The machine on which this problem appears has a nvidia NVIDIA GeForce GT 710/PCIe/SSE2. The problem appears not with the X.org nouveau driver but with the nvidia-driver-470 package “Enable hardware accelerated decoding” false or disabled do not change anything. The connection starts, password is accepted and than the session window disappears without any message. The syslog says nxplayer.bin has crashed. Any idea ?

NoMachine 8.14.2 (and before) freeversion, connecting to a physical Linux or macOS machine

After

sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver –eglcapture yes
[sudo] Passwort für detlef:
NX> 900 EnableEGLCapture key set to: 1.
NX> 900 Enabled EGL screen capture in ‘/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed’.

I still have the same behavior.
syslog:

any further idea ?

I have split your issue to create a new topic as it looks to be a totally different problem. (old topic is https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-24-04-1-lts-players-immediately-disconnects/page/2).

Can you look for core files of the nxplayer and submit the backtrace?

[doertel]

Hi,

I hope this is what you mean with backtrace :

By the way:
The problem occurs not only when I connect to a KDE machine. It is the same while connecting to macOS box or a Windows. I
So I think it is completely a client side problem which is related to the nvidia graphic driver

Can I do anything else ?
Thanks

When you get to that point in gdb, please type the ‘bt’ command and show us the output.

“Enable hardware accelerated decoding” false or disabled do not change anything.

Did you change the key to ‘disabled’ after quitting the NoMachine player? Here are more details on how to set it: https://kb.nomachine.com/AR07U01202. Please make sure it is set to ‘disabled’ rather than ‘false’.

Yes – I missed to close the player completely.
With:

"Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="disabled"

there is no more crash. So the core dump above was made with:

"Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="true"

Thanks.
Can I do any thing else for you ?

[Britgirl]

Can you also send us the output of this command on the player side?

for DEVNAME in /dev/dri/* ; do LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia vainfo --display drm --device $DEVNAME ; done
