MrBombasticParticipant
Luckily I had a backup (from August 2017) of the NoMachine config file fs1:/usr/NX/etc/server.cfg, so I restored it and restarted /etc/init.d/nxserver and now the keyboard entry from the NoMachine session works again!!
I guess I could have just removed NoMachine from the server and reinstalled it too, but this server.cfg file was much quicker to restore.
In switching to an older version of NoMachine server.cfg I ran a diff and there are quite a few differences between them. Would it be detrimental to leave the old server.cfg file with a newer version of NoMachine?
MrBombasticParticipantI checked the processes with no NoMachine session running and it shows this:
`fs1:/var/log # ps -ef | grep X
nx 4361 1 0 Feb20 ? 00:00:01 /usr/NX/bin/nxserver.bin root 1 –daemon
nx 4689 4361 0 Feb20 ? 00:00:00 /usr/NX/bin/nxd

Here is where it is even stranger, in a test NoMachine connection, as usual the mouse works perfectly, so I clicked to open Gedit (Gnome text editor) and was randomly pressing some keys in the vicinity of a,s,d,f, then suddenly I noticed a single ‘d’ in the Gedit document!? Wow! but how?
VNC TESTING:
Interestingly connecting with VNC to displays :1 and :2 work fine. VNC is started with xinetd on this server.
I thought I was on a sure thing by rebooting the server, but alas no. Is it worth me attaching a NXserver config file?
