Fedora 41 KDE unable to connect from Win 11

[Joe_Wulf]

I’ve recently upgraded a RHEL 8.3 (running KDE) system to Fedora 41 KDE spin.  Everything on the Fedora side is excellent.  Current with patches/updates.  My primary desktop is Win 11.  However, leveraging NoMachine to go from my Win 11 desktop to the Fedora 41 (running KDE) has been impossible.  I either receive endless connection restart messages, there is no desktop to connect to, etc…

I am running the latest version of free NoMachine on both systems, at version 8.14.2.  The problem is going from a physical Win 11 system to a freshly installed Fedora 41 (KDE Spin); on a Dell T5500 with dual Intel Xeon CPUs with 72GB RAM.

My Win11 Desktop is a custom tower, with a Supermicro x11-DAI-n with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs, 256 GB of RAM.

Additionally, what is being done to provide active support in the Linux world for Wayland?

Thank you.

R,

Hi,

There is a known issue https://kb.nomachine.com/TR05V11141 and the workaround is to use x.org rather than Wayland. This is of course a temporary workaround whilst developers work on a solution. It would be useful to see the logs from both the NoMachine Windows client and the NoMachine Fedora server. You can extract them using the instructions here: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00243. This would allow us to check if it is indeed the same issue as the TR I linked or something else (you mention multiple problems but without any other details about when they occur).

Send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Please use the title of this topic as the subject of your email. Thanks!
