May you tell me more about:

• client and server devices in use (CPU, memory, video card)
• the link bandwith: is it a local network, DSL, etc?

Did you noticed any abnormal spike in CPU/memory/network usage?

You can tweak display settings and see if something changes (press Ctrl+Alt+0 with remote session connected, then Display and Change settings). Roughly, reducing quality helps to save network bandwidth at cost of more CPU time.

carbuff, an option is that you open a terminal window and run the command /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --version

But you can get much more information using the client interface: press Ctrl+Alt+0 to get the menu and click on the item “Connection”.

Thank you, carbuff

I’d appreciate you want provide some further information that would help me identify the problem:

Is your server up to date to version 5.1.54 like the client?

Can you tell me the exact name of your NoMachine server product?

Is your server on a Linux host? Is the kind of session a “virtual desktop”? In other workds, is your issue similar to the one nitinkamble reported in the first post of this topic?

Add a small delay before setxkbmap command. Try this:

sleep 5 && setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru && firefox

or this:

firefox &

sleep 5

setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru

This issue seems due to auto-repeat keyboard events generated by client. Turning key repeat off would help, but I guess you’d like to keep key repeat on. I think no better workaround exists at the moment. The client needs changes to fix this issue.

Hello nitinkamble,

thanks for reporting.

Still trying to reproduce your issue. Can you provide more details, like:

• It occurs all times or sporadically
• Which kind of NoMachine session is affected (virtual desktop, sharing the physical screen, custom floating window application)
• The applications you are trying to copy from and paste to
• Anything you think is relevant

[graywolf]

Can you try DisplayServerExtraOptions "-oldeventapi 0" in /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg? Restart server after changes.

[graywolf]

Can you run command “xev” in the remote session and copying the output you get when you press control keys?

[graywolf]

This looks like a problem in Gnome. Try to check error log in file $HOME/.xsession-errors. Search also for any file named “clients” in subdirs of /usr/NX/var/log/node.

 

[graywolf]

Hello. You don’t need to configure anything. The selected text can be pasted using the middle mouse button.

Be sure you are using  the latest version of NoMachine.

 

[graywolf]

It is expected when you choose “Fit to window”. Try “Resize remote screen” instead.

[graywolf]

We need to go more in depth. I need you reproduce the issue using a debug component. Please write to forum (at) nomachine (dot) com and we’ll provide instructions to proceed.

If you turn off display manager of the server, NoMachine will create a display server on the fly when you connect from a remote client. Try this:

1. Shutdown NoMachine server: /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --shutdown
2. Turn off display manager: sudo systemctl enable multi-user.target
3. Set default, so display manager will stay off after reboot: sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
4. Start NoMachine: /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --startup

 

[graywolf]

Yes, AR04K00663 is useful to set the required property editing configuration in server.cfg.

By the way, it is clear you got an issue with authorization. Could you check:

1. output of command sudo -l
2. content of log files nxserver.log and nxerror.log (usually located in /usr/NX/var/log)

Please send this information to forum (at) nomachine (dot) com.

[graywolf]

It depends on the desktop environment you use in the remote session. For example, Gnome treats WinKey+arrow as Windows does.

You need to check box “Grab the keyboard input” in Input menu, otherwise your client desktop will intercept the WinKey+arrow keystroke.
