Tor
ParticipantHi. Are you using the DeX box or the DeX application? The weird keyboard behaviour occurs also when using the app interface (e.g. when filling the hostname input), or only in the remote desktop? What is the remote desktop OS/Version?
Tor
ParticipantGreat! We’ve documented this problem here:
https://www.nomachine.com/TR09Q09412
It is due to X.org not setting correctly the keyboard options for the XTEST extension device. Let’s try to work around it.
Create the file.xinitrc
in your home directory (if it doesn’t exist already), and add the following lines (remove the first line if it’s not a new file):#!/bin/sh XTEST_ID=$(xinput list | grep -Eo "Virtual core XTEST keyboard\s*id\=[0-9]{1,2}" | cut -d= -f 2) setxkbmap -device $XTEST_ID -model pc105 -layout it
Run the command
chmod +x .xinitrc
to set executable permissions and run it to verify that it works as expected. Each time your X session will start, the script will be executed and it’ll set correctly your layout.Tor
ParticipantIf your question still concerns the tray icon, and you mean you don’t see the NoMachine icon on all workspaces of your desktop (in the screenshot I see you’ve two workspaces), then you should investigate the configuration or issues of your environment. The notification area items are initialized only once by an application, then it’s up to the desktop environment to handle it correctly by showing it on all available workspaces.
Tor
ParticipantHi. Do you mean whether NoMachine can push the resolution beyond the ones supported by Windows 10 notebook? We can’t do that because when connecting to the physical desktop the supported resolutions are those of the remote video card listed in Windows display settings.
Tor
ParticipantHi Luke. Can you confirm whether the command
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout it
executed in the Linux terminal helps to solve the issue?Tor
ParticipantI’d suggest to enable one tray shell extension at a time to test them, to avoid they interact badly. You can then open the NoMachine client, click Settings and restart the NoMachine server.
Tor
ParticipantI suppose you mean you’re not seeing the tray icon. GNOME 3.x has no drawer showing 3rd party application icons, you can try to install a GNOME Shell extension like
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/
or
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

ParticipantHi Luke. Can you run the command
setxkbmap -print
in a terminal on Linux and let us know the result? Generally such problems are related to the server keyboard layout not matching the physical keyboard you’re using on the client. For example if you’re using an italian keyboard on Windows, select the italian layout on the server so the remote system correctly interprets the pressed keys.Tor
ParticipantThey are disabled/non-functional, but not hidden as before.
Hello mw32. I’ve quoted the text above because as far as I understand it is what you’re seeing now, please tell me if I’m wrong. Menu controls are just disabled to prevent users from accessing them and keep the menu bar consistent (a menu bar with just one or two items would be terrible! 🙂 ). As far as I remember we’ve never hidden them and I didn’t find documented issues about this behaviour.
Tor
ParticipantThank you Matt, we’ll keep an eye out for this problem. If you’ll reproduce it again, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Tor
Participant2. mouse and keyboard will work initially for a few minutes. Then when you try to use either input device terminals start closing and then the connection closes
The terminals closure could be caused by this issue:
https://www.nomachine.com/TR06R09781
When you notice input starts working badly, try the workaround described in the Trouble Report. I’d be grateful if you can confirm it.
Tor
ParticipantAfter the last upgrade I started seeing this same issue. Linux terminals just hang and won’t accept any inputs.
If you’ve the same issue reported by Matt (menu opening, etc), could you answer to questions 2, 3 and 4 of my previous post?
Additionally, do you’ve issues only with terminals or with any application running remotely?Tor
ParticipantTor
ParticipantHi. You will find that welcome screen on the server where you want to connect. The Android app, which is a client, doesn’t need to show it.
Tor
ParticipantHi. I’m not sure I understand everything, so I’ve some questions:
1. What is the client side OS and NoMachine version?
2. Mouse and keyboard are correctly sent to the remote desktop and they don’t work only when you want to open the client menu, or they don’t work at all and you can’t interact with the remote desktop?
3. You’re now using Ctrl + Alt + T to raise the disconnect dialog. How did you close the connection with the desktop when you didn’t have problems with input events?
4. Can you see the small upper right corner peel when you move over it? Only the click is not registered?
