To all NoMachine users,
NoMachine makes available today a minor software update introducing two factor authentication and a number of other functional enhancements. NoMachine 4.3 contains the upgrade of the X.org code base to the most recent version. The new code fixes numerous bugs and supports more X extensions that weren’t supported in previous versions, also permitting NoMachine to fully support all modern Linux desktops in virtual sessions.
Additionally, in 4.3 there are various performance improvements. On Window and Mac servers new algorithms for image processing, implemented in the GPU to offload the CPU, mean that better performance can be obtained.
On all platforms, a new algorithm for text detection makes it possible to encode text areas with higher quality, thus improving the perceived visual quality. On the client side an improved scaling algorithm performs faster and with slightly higher quality.
To uniform behavior across all platforms, starting from version 4.3, SSH connections from end-users’ computers will now use the libssh2 library shipped with the NoMachine packages. This is the same library used by NoMachine (client) for Android tablets and iPads. Libssh2 is a a client-side C library implementing the SSH2 protocol. This means that NoMachine is no longer using the ssh client available on the system (Linux and Mac OS X) or the nxssh client on Windows. While this is suitable for almost all environments, administrators who have custom configurations for their SSH server should inform their users to switch back to the native SSH client on their PCs. More about this is available here:

The enhancements included are:
FR11K02793 – Adding the ‘Grab the mouse input’ option to the NoMachine menu panel inside the session
FR06I02466 – Supporting Unity 3D and Gnome 3 in NoMachine virtual desktop sessions
FR08L02819 – Making it possible to configure connection name per server
FR09L02831 – Using libssh2 for SSH connections from all NoMachine clients
FR05L02816 – Supporting two factor authenticationThis version also fixes some issues affecting the previous 4.2 desktop client and server releases. Packages for mobile platforms iOS and Android will be updated successively. Among the issues solved in 4.3 there are:

it is written:
“The implementation of this Feature Request allows to support the default desktop environment of Ubuntu 12.10 or later (Unity) as well as GNOME 3, the default desktop environment of for example Fedora 15 or later.”
So does it mean that it schould works on Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity 3D?
I’ve updated my installation to 4.3. Virtual session (Unity 3D) is not working …. I can see only black screen.
Please read the following article:
A black screen is displayed when running virtual desktops on Unity 3D or GNOME 3
