When will Wayland and display global scale zooming be supported?

[BetaMaxHero]

Hi,

Fantastic free software on my Linux desktop, mini PC, and laptop!

When will Wayland be supported, currently have all three of my computers running X11?
(Running CachyOS KDE Plasma on all three computers)

Also can you add support for desktop scaling?
(I was running 4K display and NoMachine window was not scaled up to 200%?)

Keep up the great work!

Hi Jesse, thanks for your nice feedback 🙂

NoMachine already fully supports CachyOS with Plasma KDE on Wayland. Did you recently try? If you’re experiencing problems with the latest NoMachine version, send us the logs.

Regarding your question about desktop scaling, do you use Linux on both server and client side? Is the client using 200% desktop scaling or the server? Can you show us the problem with a screenshot or describe in more detail?

Hi,

With the zooming I am talking about the NoMachine main window – if the scaling is set to 200%, the main window does not scale 200% (same machine the NoMachine is running on).

I get a black screen when trying remote use my desktop and laptop when they run Wayland?
Both the desktop and laptop have nVidia dedicated GPU’s.

Can you provide URL link instructions to getting the logs?
All three computers run current CachyOS KDE Plasma.

Thank you.

Ah sorry I didn’t provide the link, check here for instructions on how to get the logs: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT08U00298. Let’s get logs from both sides – not just the server, but also the device you are connecting from when you encounter the problem.

Hi, these logs are not from the server and not the correct logs from the player. Let’s get a complete set:

For the correct player logs, the device you are connecting from, first we must make sure they are not deleted:

Step 1 – Open the UI on the device -> Player Settings -> Security

Step 2 – Enable the option ‘Don’t delete log files on exit’.

Step 3 – Connect and reproduce the problem.

Step 4 – Go to the Player settings again on the device you started the connection from, Player -> Security -> Take logs.

Then you can collect the server side logs, on the machine you are connecting to (https://kb.nomachine.com/DT08U00298#1.1):

Step 4 – Open the UI on that host -> Settings -> Server -> Security

Step 5 – Scroll down the Security panel till the end to find section ‘Server logs’ -> Take logs.

Attach everything here or send direct to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Thanks!

There are many Wayland issues on this forums.
Hope this can be resolved quickly, thank you!

Hi,

please execute these steps on the server and let us know the results:

1. run /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --eglcapture yes
2. check if the nx-sourceenv.sh file is present in the ‘/etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env’ directory
3. reboot (or log out/log in)
4. connect to the server and send new server side logs if it still doesn’t work

Please also check if the libinput package is installed on the server.

Sorry, still not working, Server Logs are attached…

Hi,

I uninstalled NoMachine on my 3 CachyOS PC’s and then reinstalled NoMachine on my 3 PC’s.
Works now on Wayland, mark this topic as solved, thanks!
