Virtual desktop resolution issues

[harrisra]

Ok have a strange issue here.

I’m running NoMachine Workstation on my Xubuntu (14.04) linux box and connecting to it from a Windows 7 computer.

I’m connecting to a virtual desktop rather than the physical display and seem to have a resolution mismatch. My windows 7 machine is running with a resolution of 1920×1080 but the virtual desktop on the XUbuntu box is only at 1536×864 (when the NoMachine client is in full screen mode).

I’ve selected the option to resize the remote display so am at a loss to understand why the resolution is on 80% of what it should be – is this a DPI issue in the NoMachine software?

Thanks in advance….

Please check the following:

1) is the “Resize remote screen” button selected in the NoMachine toolbar?

2) is the desired resolution listed among the available ones when accessing the system display settings in the remote virtual desktop?

3) do you have a .config/monitors.xml file in the user’s home on the server?

The monitor.xml file could force a certain resolution. If this is the case, you could either remove that file, or choose a different resolution by using the system settings menu in the remote desktop.
