    I see the same problem as described here:#post-18641

    On keyboard input a key appears with long delay in the Konsole Application of KDE or if another key is pressed.

    I executed  xinput test-xi2 --root as mentioned in the reply #post-18641

    As long as the xinput command is running the problem disappears. If I stop the xinput command the problem reappears.

    Does xinput produce any output?

    Could you send the server session log located at /usr/NX/var/log/node/C-…?

    Is the problem reproduced with non-KDE applications (xterm, for example)?

    > Does xinput produce any output?

    Yes, the normal output including mouse and key Events. See xinput.log for a small output of the command.

    See Attachments

    > Is the problem reproduced with non-KDE applications (xterm, for example)?

    Yes the problem is reproduced with xterm. Other non Terminal emulators such as the text editor Kate works with some key delay but
    all keys appear on there own.

    One additional input I have that my help.

    My remote machine has a display attach so I can watch what the remote user is doing on the system.
    If I enter something on the client side the input will show up immediately on the display attached to
    the remote machine but on the client I see the problem described above.  So it looks like the key events are transferred correctly from the client to the remote system but the other way around has the problem.

    Flow:
    Input in Konsole Application and the corresponding effect on the screen
    Event (Input Char)       client(noMachine Window)            display directly attached to remote host

    H                                                    H                                                            H
    e                                                     He                                                          He
    l                                                      He                                                          Hel
    l                                                      Hell  (<- both ‘l’ at the same time)         Hell
    o                                                     Hell                                                        Hello
    (space)                                           Hello                                                       Hello(space)

    The missing characters will also appear if I minimize and maximize the Konsole application,
    move the Konsole window around or changing focus between windows.

    Would try these things:

    • Set DisplayServerExtraOptions “-nodamage”. Restart the server.
    • Set EnableDisplayServerVideoCodec 1 and DisplayServerVideoCodec “vp8”. Try also “mjpeg”.

    I set the option as given but problem still exist.

    I figured out the problem only exist if there is no to very small graphical interaction. If for instant Firefox  is running with a
    YouTube video the problem disappears. The video must be the active tab and Firefox must not be minimized.

    This also works if I open a new konsole window and execute for i in {1..999999}; do echo $i; sleep 0.1 ;done This produces
    output on the screen and apparently enough interaction to redraw the screen. This also explains why it worked with the running
    xinput running.

    Is it possible that my nvidia graphics cards is not set up probably?

    You can use nvidia-xconfig to create a new configuration for X.

    Have you the chance of trying a different version of Nvidia driver or the open source nouveau driver?

    I created a new config with nvidia-xconfig but this did not help.

    However, I found out that the problem disappears when I disconnect the monitor (DVI) from the remote System. This is however a very sub optimal solution for me because I plan to use the remote system in both ways (not simultaneously) , so directly accessing the the remote system with the connected monitor  and remotely through NoMachine.

    Do I need NoMachine Workstation here to use virtual desktops/sessions to get this to work?

    Thanks btw for your help. Verymuch appreciated.

    No, it is not a lack of features, it is an issue with getting screen changes from the nvidia driver.

    In that condition, with monitor disconnected from the system, what you get running from remote: xrandr -q?

    Without monitor you get using the NoMachine virtual display (“nxoutput0 connected primary”) that does not use the video card.

    In my opinion there is a problem with reading back from the video card related to the nvidia driver. Any chance of trying a different version of the driver?

    I will try to use different video driver/driver version. I will try this on the weekend. Thanks
