Sorry but I’m a bit confused now. What do you mean with ‘physical display session’? In your previous post you were saying that the option solved the problem when connecting to the Physical display.
Anyway, from the message that you copied, this seems a different problem. We would need the server side logs to tell what is wrong. You can find instructions on how to gather them here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT07M00098. You can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com by referencing the title of this topic.
Can you attach a screenshot showing the problem? Also a screenshot of the ‘Display settings’ panel of the menu could be useful.
Hi kumar,
we were not able to reproduce any problem with R and the plot command in our labs. Please provide step by step instructions on how we can try to replicate it: the link to the exact R version that we need to install, how to start it, and the exact command that we can use for reproducing.
Also further info on your environment could be useful:
– NoMachine version installed on client machine.
– Remote and local Windows/Mac/Linux version (Windows XP/7/8, OS X 10.x, Ubuntu xyz, Mint x.y, etc.).
– If on Linux, desktop version (GNOME. KDE, whatever) on client and on server.Hi,
that option won’t cause any increase in bandwidth usage. NoMachine does most of the work and uses the Damage events reported by the system only as hints.
Hi Gurguff,
we checked the logs and they don’t seem to point to any bug in the software. The disconnections seem to actually happen because of some problem in your network.
Looking at the statistics it’s easy to verify that NX5 does a better job than NX3, assuming the application is producing the same X11 output. But this doesn’t exclude that two different applications, or even two different versions of the same application, can produce different X11 output, causing, in the end, inferior performance.
A suggestion I can give is to try to disable the Composite extension. This may hint Firefox to draw using different strategies. Just a hint, since I can’t give you any guarantee that this will actually improve the performance. To do that, add the following line to the ‘/usr/NX/etc/node.cfg’:
DisplayAgentExtraOptions “-extension Composite”
Yes, but according to my analysis of the output, those X11 primitives are, by a vast majority, orders to put bitmaps somewhere on the screen. And, as we are comparing NX 5 to the old 3.5, the nxagent 5 exposes many more extensions that were not implemented in the old version. Some of these extensions are there to let applications beautify their output, something they normally achieve by producing X11 primitives that are more XPutImage and more bitmaps.
Hi,
the repeated keypresses are originated on your client side OS by the autorepeat feature. We are aware of the problem and we are working on a solution that can work as expected with video games while preserving, at the same time, the autorepeat functionality with other applications.
As a workaround you can disable the autorepeat on your Linux machine by typing the following command in a local terminal:
# xset r off
Hi snejok,
we observed a similar behaviour in our labs with the same environement. Firefox seems to actually draw by bitmaps and it is not suprising that the codec (along with the other techniques developed by NoMachine for the new display protocol) performs better in these circumstances.
However we are already working to provide the best experience in lightweight mode even with the graphics-intense drawing performed by some modern applications. In version 5.1 is already implemented https://www.nomachine.com/FR01N03003. Further optimizations will come 😉
Hi,
does the spinning wheel stay forever? Or does the connection recover at some point if you wait?
To understand what is going on in this case, the session logs would be more useful than the statistics. Please find here the instructions on how to gather them: https://www.nomachine.com/DT07M00098. You can send the logs to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
Hi,
we can’t reproduce any problem with the same platforms in our labs. To investigate this issue further, we would need the logs from the client and the server side. Please find the instructions here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT07M00098. You can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
Hi Larry,
at the moment NoMachine only uses the NVENC capabilities on cards of the Maxwell generation. That is because NoMachine relies on some encoder features that are not fully supported in the previous Kepler generation, and that is the case of the K520 card virtualized in the G2 instance.
However we are already working on a special mode that can work with Kepler cards without glitches, and we are going to enable NVENC on such cards in the next release.
Is it possible that there have been other changes in you system (e.g. a bigger monitor)?
There are a few requisites to fulfill for actually enabling H.264. Here you can find the relevant info:
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00706
You can check the codec currently in use in the Display settings panel from the session menu.If you are willing to test a debug package, I renew the offer to send it to you. In that case contact us to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
Please try to add the following line to the ‘/usr/NX/etc/node.cfg’ file on your server machine and restart the server (‘/usr/NX/bin/nxserver –restart’):
DisplayServerExtraOptions “-nodamage”
That should confirm if the problem is due to an incorrect event reporting from the Damage extension.
Here you can find the relevant info about H.264:
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00706Can you please provide some more info:
– Are you connecting to a physical or a virtual display?
– What is the desktop evironment in use (Gnome, KDE, …)?
– A screenshot of the Display settings panel: Open the session menu -> Display -> Change settings.
Among other things, there is indicated the codec in use.
