JavaScriptJohn
ParticipantYou are experiencing slowness of those applications during a NoMachine session?
Yes, I am experiencing slowness during a NoMachine session. When I open the app it takes about a minute to load. Only Chrome and Electron Apps
I have my display manager disabled(lightdm) so that NoMachine creates the session.
If you don’t use NoMachine at all, are those applications slow to open?
That’s a hard question because when lightdm is enabled with or without NoMachine they work just fine but I lose NoMachines amazing ability to resize the server. So it’s NoMachines session that causes the issue. I’m not sure how to test a headless chrome without NoMachine.
The issue is that under the newer versions of Ubuntu when NoMachine creates it’s own desktop the apps are very slow to open. I’ve recreated this many times on 3 different machines. This works fine on older versions of Ubuntu.
With all this said I understand that this may not be a NoMachine issue, I’m just curious if anyone else had this issue and found a work around.
If anyone wants to test it’s very simple:
Working: Install xubuntu < 22.04, Install NoMachine, Disable Lightdm service, connect through NoMachine – WORKS! Not Working: Install xubuntu > 22.04, Install NoMachine, Disable Lightdm service, connect through NoMachine – DOESN’T WORK!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
