Completely wrong mappings for keyboard again

[BobStones]

Hi All

Really sorry to resurrect this but I am having the same problem as reported a couple of years ago with regards to the keyboard mappings being completely wrong.  As with the earlier post, my connection to the remote machine is stable and fast, the mouse/menu/paste functions are all working very well however if I type qwerty I actually get 789-=[.

I went through the instructions regarding getting output and I attach the results here.

Any guidance very much appreciated

Can you indicate the forum topic so we can understand your set-up (I assume you have the same set-up, right?)

Hi BritGirl

I’ve added the attachments again, I did so on the first post but got “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons” on both files.  Hopefully this time they will get through.  If not I’ll sip them and submit.

I’m running both server and client on Linux – Ubuntu 18.04

Send them directly, we’ll watch out for them.

[BobStones]

Er, how do I send them ‘directly’?

The keyboard layout is unusual.

Please, could you post additional info?
Run in the affected session:
xkbcomp $DISPLAY - > xkbcomp.out
xprop -root | grep XKB > xprop.out

Also NoMachine server log could be useful (create an archive of folder /usr/NX/var/log).

[BobStones]

I get:

xkbcomp $DISPLAY – > xkbcomp.out

Error:          XKB extension not present on :3.0

Exiting

And xprop.out is a 0 length file.

nxserver.log by email

Please, reproduce with SessionLogClean 0 (node.cfg) so session folders in /usr/NX/var/log/node are not removed. Could you then send the whole folder /usr/NX/var/log ?

Hi All,

Its getting worse.  I made the mistake of restarting the nx server and now I cannot bring up a desktop in the client.

I have the following processes running:

When attempting to reconnect the client I get past the ‘Recent Connections’ point and can establish a connection to the server however I then get a single icon with the text ‘Physical display gdm, Ubuntu X server on :1024 (icon) 0

any suggestions as to where I am now going wrong, again gratefully accepted

[Sigh]

[graywolf]

“Physical display gdm, Ubuntu X server on :1024” seems correct. Did you try to double-click that icon?

[BobStones]

Incidentally, when I do double click on the above icon I get a “waiting wheel” on the display that just turns and turns .  . .

Please create an archive of folder /usr/NX/var/log and send it by email.
