I’ve retested this with NoMachine 8.9.1 (client and server).  The behavior has not changed.

[presto]

I have two machines that show the same issue.  Both are physical machines (not virtual machines) and both have the same issue (I cannot resize windows.  The issue is not (just) the cursor the window cannot be drag-sized from the corner, the right side or the bottom.

Both machines have generic (non modified) installs of Ubuntu 22.04.03 desktop.  My client is running Ventura.  I’m accepting all of the default connection options (no resizing etc).

Here are the outputs of lshw -c video for the two machines (they are both older machines but I believe meet your minimum specs).

Let me know if this assists or if I can provide any further info.

I tried this again in version 8.6.1 – no change.  Using Wayland it is not possible to resize windows, Using X11 it is.

With Wayland, no flickering login screen, with X11 flickering login screen.

One small issue I see that with X11 running the login screen flickers after you have entered the user password and before the session becomes active.  Once the session is active all is well.  Only a small issue but worth noting.

Answers to your questions…  I suspect you already knew the answer here 🙂

1) desktop environment on the Ubuntu server

It’s running the standard Gnome implementation that ships with Ubuntu 22.04

2) is wayland or xorg running there

The result of  “echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE” is “wayland” on  Ubuntu 22.04 (amd64) and “x11” on Ubuntu 20.04 (amd64) and Debian 11 (arm64).

Disabling wayland on the Ubuntu 22.04 server appears to resolve the issue. Application windows now resize correctly for all of the applications I’ve tested.

However since wayland is now the default for Ubuntu, do you plan to resolve the issue for wayland installations at some point?

I’m seeing the same issue, it appears to be localized to Ubuntu 22.04 only.

My client is running on MacOS 13.4 (Ventura) and I’ve tested connecting to 3 different operating systems (all with default NoMachine Server configurations); Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04 both running on amd64 (Intel PC) and Debian 11 (Bulleye) on arm64 (on a Raspberry Pi 4).

All the NoMachine installs (Client and Server) are running your version 8.5.3.

The other two operating system configurations run just fine (no issues with application window resizing) however with Ubuntu 22.04 connected via NoMachine I cannot resize windows.  The applications I’m using to test are Files, Terminal and LibreOffice Writer.  In each case, when connected via NoMachine I either can not resize the application window at all or I can resize the application window in width once only (after which I can’t resize it again in either direction).  If I am directly connected to the machine via a local terminal then there are no issues with resizing windows.

The settings for window resizing etc are identical in each case.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
