    Hi,

    My Configuration:

    Server: Debian Wheezy amd64 (all patches applied) with nomachine-workstation-update_4.2.21_4_amd64.deb, Gnome.

    Client: Windows 8.1 (all patches applied) with Enterprise Client 4.2.21_1.

    My Problem:

    Connect to a virtual desktop on server. Open Evolution. Write a mail and Evolution crashes.

    Other data:

    Works fine using physical screen connection. Running from the command line I get this output:

    (evolution:14105): Gdk-WARNING **: The program ‘evolution’ received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was ‘BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)’.
    (Details: serial 10114 error_code 2 request_code 146 minor_code 26)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
    variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    Regards.

    This appears to be a problem of this Evolution version when running with older X.org versions. Tests showed that the crash is reproducible also without using NoMachine, in a physical display running the same X.org version as NoMachine’s.

    That said, this problem will be automatically solved when the transition to the new X.org will be completed in NoMachine.

    Thanks for the reply. Any idea when the transition will be completed?

    Regards.

    Work is in progress, but it is a major change and it will require quite a long period of testing, given the number of different Linux platforms.

    So I can’t say exactly. Should be in terms of weeks.

    Hi. Any news on this? It’s been 2 months now and still no update (just tried on 4.2.26).

    Regards.

    Unfortunately, the transition to the new version of X.org has now been moved to NoMachine 5, so there will be no change with regards to this bug on Evolution until then.

    Thanks. Is there any time schedule on NoMachine 5?

    By the end of last quarter 2014 would be ideal. We’ll keep you all updated via the forums.

    An update: we anticipated the transition to the latest version of X.org in 4.3. Download the latest version from the website.
