I have a two monitor Windows machine that I use to access a virtual Linux machine.
I desire to have the Linux desktop span across both monitors sometimes and to display a cropped desktop when only using one monitor. This is works.
When displaying on one monitor, the desktop automatically scrolls when the mouse goes to a side. I desire not to have this automatic scrolling, but to manually adjust the scroll bars.
I have added the following to both the Windows .nxs file and the Linux player.cfg file but the auto scrolling still happens. Is there something else that needs to be set to stop this automatic scrolling?
Virtual Linux machine is : Redhat 8.4/Gnome
Windows machine is : NoMachine Enterprise Client Version 8.10.1
Other setting in windows .nxs file
Other settings in linux ~/.nx/config/player.cfg file
urr command syntax is not shown, trying again
Other setting in windows .nxs file
<option key=”Physical desktop resize mode” value=”viewport” />
<option key=”Virtual desktop resize mode” value=”viewport” />
<option key=”Automatic viewport scrolling sensitive area size” value=”0″ />Other settings in linux ~/.nx/config/player.cfg file
<option key=”Automatic viewport scrolling sensitive area size” value=”0″ />
<option key=”Enable view all monitors shortcut” value=”true” />
<option key=”Server list view mode” value=”children” />
<option key=”Show scrollbars in viewport mode” value=”true” />Maybe disabling auto-scroll is no longer supported? Suppling code versions in case it matters
Linux Server:
Redhat 8.4/Gnome
NoMachine Monitor version (aka NXAGENT) ‘8.5.3’Windows Client:
Windows 11 Enterprise
NoMachine Enterprise Client: 8.10.1Close all your client instances on Windows and change the following key in
%USERPROFILE%\.nx\config\player.cfgby setting its value to “0”:<option key=”Automatic viewport scrolling sensitive area size” value=”0″ />
The viewport scrolling is configured only on the CFG file and only on the client, any other changes you did can be reverted/ignored.
Thanks, but unfortunately tried this and it didn’t work. Perhaps this feature was backed out for some reason. Maybe I’m the only strange one that doesn’t like automatic stuff.
The feature is still there and working correctly, so we should just understand why it is not working for you. By the way your preference is perfectly legit! I keep the value set to 10 for a similar reason.
First of all we’ve to verify if the problem is caused by some unexpected values in the CFG and NXS files.
The NXS can be reset to default values by creating a new connection to your server. Don’t worry about your other custom settings, you can set them later.
The CFG can be reset with the “Restore default player settings” link in the settings window. Once you do that, close the player from the tray menu, and edit the CFG like I said in my previous answer.If also this solution doesn’t work, try to set a value slightly bigger than 0, for example a number between 1 and 5, and confirm that the automatic scroll starts when you’re very close to the window edges. This test could be helpful to verify whether the problem is in the setting value reading, or in the logic of the automatic scrolling.
