Caps Lock and Num Lock/ Num Pad problems – Windows 10 to Ubuntu 24.04

[Geo1234]

Hi All,

I have a couple of problems related to the keyboard. I am using Windows 10 to connect to Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (Gnome).

Both the NoMachine client and server are at Version 9.0.188.

The first problem is caps lock. It seems to toggle the remote Ubuntu station through 3 conditions like this:

1. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2. AaAaAaAaAaAa
3. AAAAAAAAAA

Command “xset q” on Ubuntu reveals that caps lock is not changing state. It seems always off.

The second problem is with the numeric keypad. Num lock seems to toggle the remote Ubuntu station through 3 states like this:

1. 1,end,1,end,1,end
2. 111111111111111111

Command “xset q” on Ubuntu reveals that Num Lock is not changing state. It seems always off.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Geo1234,

Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce this issue. Can you please describe us the exact step-by-step instructions to reproduce the problem ?

Also, can you tell us if the Ubuntu server runs with Wayland or X11 ?

Hi Bilbotine,

The Ubuntu server runs with Wayland.

As for step by step instructions:

1. boot both machines
2. launch NoMachine on Windows
3. Connect to Ubuntu machine
4. Log in to Ubuntu machine
5. Launch Text Editor app
6. observe improper Caps lock and Num pad behavior

Thanks for the help on this..
