As the other topic mentioned. It was something we had planned to add.
This is a typical case where having a feature request for uncompressed output can be misleading and doesn’t point out what the problem actually is. It makes no sense to make an uncompressed session just to improve the quality. The job of NoMachine is to improve the quality, so much so to give seamless and 1:1 rendering, but still compressed. How are we going to do that? With lossless refinement. There are two ways to do that: refinement with video encoding such as h264, x264,vp8, etc , which will never be 100% lossless, and progressive refinement that means you get to the stage where the last refinement is 1:1, 100% lossless.
When will this be available in production code? It’s work in progress 🙂 We work on refining the output everyday, day by day. Any new improvements we produce during development go into the production code at every release. When will this work be finished? Never. There is no code that you cannot improve in one way or the other 😉
I decided to do the down grade of graphics card driver version. Then the problem is solved.
Ok Chrys, thanks for letting us know. We suspected as much that the drivers were causing the problem.
First, can you check that the correct permissions are set on the Mac computer? Here you can find some further hints: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/AR09S01139. In some cases, after a OS update, it might be necessary to remove (uncheck) the permissions and grant again.
If that doesn’t help, please send us the logs. A similar issue has been reported here:
https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/no-available-desktops-on-this-server-4 and you can follow the instructions for logs there. We can then check to see if it’s the same problem indeed.Hi, from what you’ve written I understand that both userA and userB are connecting remotely to the computer. Are user A and B sharing the same system account to get remote access? If they are, it’s perfectly normal that the session to the physical desktop is being migrated. NoMachine understands that the user is the same because the account is the same and therefore switches the NoMachine remote session to the other device.
If you don’t want this to happen, each user must have their own system account on the computer they want to get access to. In that case, with the free edition, if “usernameA” is remotely connected to the computer and “usernameB” tries to connect as well, username B can be refused by userA or userA can decide to disconnect. With Enterprise Desktop, on the other hand, if user B connects whilst user A is remotely connected, NoMachine asks user A what they would like to do (authorise to share or refuse).
We took a second look at the stack dump.
Confirmed it fails exactly in the video decoder device initialization and this initialization doesn’t require any special parameter. At a glance this seems to be a device bug and, indeed, we found this same problem reported for Outlook:You didn’t say what exact driver version you are using. The first step, we’d say, is to update your video drivers.
Please try disabling hardware decoding on the Windows client.
You can disable it completely in the player.cfg. Please edit the file$HOME/.nx/config/player.cfgand set the configuration key “Enable hardware accelerated decoding” to “disabled”.I understand that the computer you are connecting from is Windows 10. What NoMachine product installed on the server side? Are you the administrator of that machine? What OS is the server side?
Hi Holly, this sounds like you need to configure your home router for external access. See this article for the explanation and further tips:
How to connect to NoMachine when the server is behind a NAT router or a firewall
https://www.nomachine.com/AR11L00827We aren’t aware of issues with disabling the !M icon and notifications. We checked on the fly to make sure. When changing either of those keys, you need to restart the machine. Did you restart? The player also has a service icon which becomes visible when you open NoMachine, to start a connection for example. See 3.3. Quit NoMachine Player in the Connection Monitor Guide: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00202#3.3
Balloon messages, which are used to notify (e.g someone has connected/disconnected) as well as prompt the desktop user to accept a specific function (e.g accept an incoming connection), are a central security feature of NoMachine software. You should know that whilst in version 7 it is possible to disable all balloon messages using the appropriate key in node.cfg, in version 8 the disabling of all balloon messages will no longer be possible.
In the next major we have maintained the possibility to show/not show the !M service icon in the system tray (like it is in version 7) but notification messages will still be displayed since they are independent from the !M icon. We will see in the future which notifications will be possible to disable on an individual basis, but to disable all will not be an option, as I said, for security reasons.
Consider using an alternative distribution, perhaps Ubuntu? It seems popOS can’t work with Pulseaudio
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=6350038
or wait and see if popOS developers fix the issue.
Yes, it can.
From a terminal you can check with
nxserver --useredit USERNAME --screensharing yes. This applies to a specific user.
Also, in the server.cfg check that PhysicalDesktopSharing is set to ‘1’. This key applies to the whole server. Does this help?Just a note about this behaviour in version 8, the risk of being locked out because the “desktop shared” button was toggled to off before logging out will be mitigated: the owner will still be able to connect even if the desktop is set to “not shared”.
We aren’t aware of copy and paste issues between Fedora/Windows, or working one way only.
Are you using Wayland, and what DE is installed there?
PopOs is ubuntu-based I believe, so try with
sudo apt install -y pulseaudio.The FR you linked is specific to Fedora. We will be extending support for Pipewire across the supported Linux distros.
