It  seems to be related to the “Lock the physical screen when somebody connects”. If I disable that option, I can disconnect and reconnect after I got a black screen on remote and all is fine (without any interaction on the workstation). There still seems to be a bug that I get a black screen after the login.

Hi, I think I have the same issue after an upgrade from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10. I am using the nvidia binary driver and therefore Xorg (not wayland). The greeter is GDM and Gnome the desktop environment.

I am able to reproduce the following behavior:

1. Boot workstation
2. Wait 1-2 minutes for NX to be ready
3. Connect from remote (Windows or Linux does not matter) using NX
4. The screen on the workstation goes black and remote shows the GDM login screen
5. Login through NX
6. The screen on the remote (!) goes black and the workstation shows the Gnome desktop as if I have logged in locally
7. On the workstation, do a single click with the mouse (no matter where)
8. The workstation drops to the console (the Gnome session remains running)
9. Remote looses the connection to the workstation, at this point its not possible to re-login
10. On the workstation, use Ctrl+Alt+2 to switch back to the Gnome session
11. Reconnect with remote to the workstation using NX
12. Screen on workstation goes black and I can work through remote -> all is fine 🙂

I have also sent you the debug log to the provided address.

Thanks & regards

René
