Forcing the server to 1024×768

[sunilsop]

How do I force the Linux server (lububtu 20.04 in my case) to always use 1024×768?

I know I can set the client to that.. but I want to ensure the server only ever is in 1024×768.

I’ve disabled the native display-manager to let NoMachine create it own.

If useful:  I run sudo systemctl stop display-manager and sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --restart before connecting

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You can modify the server.cfg (/usr/NX/etc/ directory on Linux) to prevent resizes:

PhysicalDesktopMode 1

# 1: Restricted. User connected to the physical desktop can
# interact with the desktop except for resize operations.

Try this and let us know.

Thank you.

However, even with the setting set to 1 the client is still able to resize the display. We really need to set the resolution to 1024×768 and not allow resizing from the client.  Is there anything else I can do ?

Cheers

If you are connecting to a host where NoMachine is set to create display, please use currently possible workaround to restrict resize of the display, by setting following key in the server.cfg
VirtualDesktopMode 1
