NoMachine client disconnects right after connection in latest Manjaro

@Britgirl yes, I can confirm that I did have HW decoding disabled in the player config file at the time of the segfault. Like this:

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="false" />                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
<option key="Enable GPU rendering" value="false" />

But the player still segfaults on my system. I have the linux518-nvidia package (version 515.57-8) installed, and running on a NVIDIA Quadro P600 GPU.

When you did your tests showing that disabling HW decoding prevents segfaults, which hardware and NVidia driver version did you have installed?

Thanks!

The key must be set to ‘disabled’.

– true: hw decoding enabled
– false: hw decoding disabled (but libraries for hw decoding are loaded)
– disabled: hw decoding disabled (libraries for hw decoding are never loaded and the checkbox is grey out inside the menu panel)

So, if you have ‘false’, you’re going to keep getting segfaults.

@Britgirl, @ericmock Okay, I see. Yes, setting

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="disabled" />

instead of

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="false" />

does work and allows me to start the session. Thanks for your help!!

Linux Manjaro KDE user here, setting Enable hardware accelerated decoding to disabled in player.cfg as suggested above fixed the problem for me.

Thanks!
