Can you send us the logs from the Windows 11 machine? Zip up the entire .nx folder and submit to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Include the link to your topic. Thanks!

This is a known issue and you should disable Wayland and use X.Org instead. See the following topics:

Plasma 6 wayland connection issue – 104 error

NoMachine keeps on disconnecting me & reconnecting me?

The Trouble Report currently open is: https://kb.nomachine.com/TR05V11141

We don’t know either. We tested MX Linux (having applied all the updates) and left the session running for most of the day and no slowing down was observed. If it comes back, next time, grab the logs.

Hi, can you try disabling hardware decoding on your Windows client computer? Follow the instructions here to do that (in your case you must disable completely, in point 3, by setting the option key as:

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="disabled" />

The distro and the DE would be useful for us to help us with our investigation. To find the desktop environments installed on your system 🙂

1) Execute this command in a terminal:

ls /usr/share/xsessions

Hi, did you already perform a reboot of the device?

Can you tell us if the display server is Wayland or Xorg? What distro is installed on it? Which RPi model is it?

[Britgirl]

Thanks for following up with that. Are you using NoMachine 8.13 both sides? Can we know the desktop environment on the Raspberry? Is it KDE or something else?

[Britgirl]

Thanks for reaching out. The implementation of the feature”Integrating the NoMachine window fullscreen mode with macOS Spaces management”  was postponed to a later release. We fully understand that it this is important for our Mac users. We’ve not dedicated the necessary resources simply because of other development priorities related to version 9 and NoMachine Network. Once v9 is out, we can start on integration.

We moved our development roadmap from the public knowledge base, as you probably read from the message that appears when you click on a link to any FR.

Did you restart the NoMachine server as printed in the message? Go to settings > server > restart the server. Then connect again.

I don’t know what those instructions are about but you should be looking in the official documentation from MS. There are also multiple tech websites providing the steps on how to configure the policy.

Connecting without a password is not something we recommend, as the article I pasted earlier mentions. Using NoMachine’s own User DB is a possible option. You can create a user and password only for NoMachine usage. It avoids interfering with Windows registry keys and avoids changing your local user account configuration.

– Open notepad or other text editor as administrator
– Open server.cfg, which is in %ProgramFiles%/NoMachine/etc
– Find, uncomment (ie. delete the # sign from the beginning of the line) the following keys and save:
EnableUserDB 1
EnablePasswordDB 1
– Open CMD or powershell as administrator and execute: cd C:\ProgramData\NoMachine\nxserver
– Execute nxserver.exe --useradd USER where USER is your account without password. Then you will be asked to create password. That password will work only for nx connections. It doesn’t change your local account configuration.

Then, go to the device you want to connect from and insert the user credentials with the password you created on the Windows server.

Open the On-Screen Keyboard on the Windows host, and press the NumLock key there (you will need to turn on the numeric key pad in the On-Screen Keyboard, that is reachable from the Options button). Is that enough to use the numeric pad from the Mac?

[Britgirl]

In version 8 it is configured on the server side using the EnableCredentialsStoring key in the server.cfg. Also present in the free version. Find the key and set it to

EnableCredentialsStoring none

You can find more info about this key and the configuration files is available, for example, here: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00246#3.3

Hi,

NoMachine currently supports Yubico authentication by configuring PAM. You can read more about how to do that here:

Can you show us the output of the ‘setxkbmap -print’ command run inside the xrdp session?

Hi, are you connecting to the NoMachine Windows server from the Mac? The title suggests the Mac has no numerical keyboard, but what you wrote in the body indicates that it’s the Windows computer without the numerical keyboard. Can you confirm? 🙂
