Wrong keyboard layout and no shutdown/restart

[ZombieHunter]

I did a normal installation of MX Linux.
Then I did install NoMachine and did set the runlevel to 3 (Multi-User Mode / no X11) since this PC has no monitor.

First thing is that the keyboard layout is wrong when I connect with NoMachine. Why is that?
It’s right when I login at the physical machine.
There is only one user and I use this user when I connect with NoMachine.

Second thing is that the shutdown dialog has shutdown and restart greyed out and is missing other things I have at the physical machine. With NoMachine I only have “log out”.

And certain other things are not there like the MX Updater that is missing from the systray (if it is called like this in Linux).

I connect to MX from Windows 11.

For the first point, you’re right. So we are going to implement a new key which will allow you to set the keyboard for virtual sessions when there is no physical display present. For example, it could be something like this #DisplayKeyboard “us”.

Try with a policy kit rule like this:
1) Create the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-nomachine.rules (as root).
2) Then the rule

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {polkit.log(action + ", " + subject);if (~["org.freedesktop.login1.power-off","org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions","org.freedesktop.login1.reboot","org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions"].indexOf(action.id)) {return polkit.Result.YES;}});
