Alternating case text (reprise)

[gippy73]

I also have the same problem expressed in this thread:

Alternating case text

When local CAPS LOCK is disabled, remotely it is and writes “AAAAA”; when locally it is enabled, remotely it writes “aAaAa”.

My situation is reverted as I use Linux as a client to remotely control a Windows 10 PC.

The Linux Box uses x11 (Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon 64 bit) running NoMachine 7.14.2.

To be honest I’ve been able to solve this in the past, but I can’t remember how, ATM. I’ve tried disabling the local server (normally unused) and several options but with no success.

Obviously, if I’ll remember how I did solve in the past, I’ll report the solution here, for everyone’s convenience.

What you should do is update your NoMachine software both sides. If you can’t, then earlier versions to the what’s in production (currently version 8) can be managed in your customer area if you have a subscription.

If you are using the latest 8.11 on both client and server sides and still see the problem, we will need logs. Also, as in the other topic which was closed for lack of feedback, we need full details of the set-up including language settings on both sides, and Linux desktop environment. Is it a physical desktop session or are a virtual desktop session? Is the display server Wayland or X.org?

My bad!!!

Indeed it was a problem of versions matching 🙂

Upgrading to the latest on Windows (8.11) solved the problem, even when Linux client was still 7.14.2.

Thanks again for the support and most of all for the great software masterpiece 😉
