Keyboard maps to US when client and server are UK

[zSeries]

Hi,

I was a user of NX 3.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 for many months, perhaps years with no problems what so ever. Recently I have upgraded to Lubuntu 12.04 LTS on my desktop server and Lubuntu 12.10 on my dell laptop client. I am running the latest NX 4.1.29 on both although I have tried several previous 4.1 releases. My problem is that both machines are UK machines, UK keyboards and I have never had a problem with keyboard mapping on any application including NX 3.5. Now in 4.1 NX it thinks I am using a US keyboard on the client. When I type @”@ sign I get “. You see I am using right now for this posting and that was supposed to be double quote, the at sign follow by another double quote. Similarly when I type multiple UK pounds signs I get ########. Where is the keyboard definition for NX? Is must be getting it from the wrong place.

Hello zSeries.

can you send the client and server log files? You can gather logs in this way:

Create a compressed archive of the NoMachine /var/log directory

The NoMachine /var/log directory on Linux is: /usr/NX/var/log. Create a compressed archive (tar.gz) archive from command line.

Run a terminal and move to /usr/NX/var :

$ cd /usr/NX/var/
$ sudo tar cvfz NoMachine-log.tar.gz log
Create a compressed archive of the .nx directory in the user’s home

Run from a terminal:

$ tar -cvp –exclude ‘cache*’ –exclude ‘images’ –exclude ‘recording’ -f – $HOME/.nx | gzip -c >nxdir.tar.gz

 

How to gather client side logs

Run from a terminal:

$ tar -cvp –exclude ‘cache*’ –exclude ‘images’ –exclude ‘recording’ -f – $HOME/.nx | gzip -c >nxdir.tar.gz

Hi graywolf, here are the logs. I hope they help identify the problem.

Thank you.

1. NoMachine-log.tar.gz
2. nxdir.tar.gz

Sorry, we’d need content of .nx directory from server side, too.

Please, connect to the server and run form a  terminal:

$ tar -cvp –exclude ‘cache*’ –exclude ‘images’ –exclude ‘recording’ -f – $HOME/.nx | gzip -c >nxdir.tar.gz

Other pieces of information that could help can be gathered running the commands:

$ xmodmap -pke > xmodmap.txt

$ xprop -root | grep XKB > xprop.txt

Please note that a new version (4.2.17) is available. Let we know if you find the same problem after the upgrade.
