Hi. You could protect the file
$HOME/.nx/config/player.cfgby changing the ownership to (for example) root:wheel and removing the write access to other users/groups, so users with lower access rights will not be able to store new settings. Please note, NoMachine client will still apply the changes requested by any users, but every time the application will be started it’ll use settings stored in the write protected CFG file.Your problem really seems similar to the one described here:

Would you like to test a package implementing the fix for that issue? If you agree, we’ll contact you by e-mail.
Hi Andrea.
Could you open the Keyboard Viewer on the server and verify if the Fn key is reported as pressed when the problem occurs? In order to open the Keyboard Viewer you should open Keyboard settings and check the boxes “Show Input menu in menu bar” and “Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar”, then use the Input menu in the menu bar.Hi Adam.
We’re actually already grouping windows in the taskbar, but while looking for issues we’ve found a possible wrong configuration occurring when installing NoMachine through software updates. If you didn’t do it already, could you install the most recent version by using the installer available on our website, please? If you did it already, please share any useful information so we can troubleshoot the reason why the application model ID is getting ignored.About the interface, we’re currently working on a design change diverging from the possibility to have a window with multiple tabbed connections, but we’ll store your proposal in an internal feature request and we’ll evaluate it for future changes.
Please verify that
gksudoorzenityare installed on your system, they’re used as frontends for verifying admin credentials. If the authentication keeps failing after installing at least one of them, then send here the output of commandsudo -l. If you want to keep your sudo configuration private, you can send the output of the command to the e-mail address forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.Hi. If you want to start the NoMachine client you should execute
/usr/NX/bin/nxplayerfrom a terminal, or just use the NoMachine entry in applications menu. The nxclient application is not meant to be started manually, it needs the communication with other NoMachine processes in order to work correctly.Hi. The NoMachine app doesn’t change permissions to its sandboxed directory, so it could be something related to iTunes. You could try to uninstall and install again the NoMachine app, sync the iPhone before trying to upload the key, or use a third party file management tool for iPhone.
Hi. Thank you for your report, it was confirmed and documented in the following Trouble Report:
https://www.nomachine.com/TR05Q09295
We will include the fix in the next release. In the meanwhile you can work around the problem by importing the private key on a connection created with a NoMachine client for desktop, and by uploading it to the iPad though iTunes (download the NoMachine folder with File Sharing, copy inside it the new connection file, upload the folder).
Hi. Do you have a tablet peripheral connected to your client, or are there drivers installed related to such kind of peripherals (e.g. Wacom drivers)?
Try this command:
nxplayer --session <NXS file> --new-sessionDepending on the client OS, you can make this automatic by double clicking an NXS file or script.
If you have access to the NoMachine server verify that the ConnectPolicy key enables the ‘autocreate’ mode, in the file server.cfg. You can also check the ‘autocreate’ value in client logs, by looking for the file ‘connection’ in your $HOME/.nx directory.
When the virtual desktop is not automatically created, do you see other running sessions on the server? They’re listed in the same panel where you can find the “New desktop” button.
Node and server configurations cannot help you in this case, because they only affect the client when it connects to the NoMachine server. If you have control over the client you could change connection file permissions to be read-only, or create a bunch of scripts which could, for example, restore the connection file when the NoMachine client closes or the computer reboots.
Thank you very much for the information, we’ll investigate it and check if there is something we can do on our side. And kudos for the finding, it was not an easy one! 🙂
Hi. I’d be grateful if you can report after running the following tests.
What happens if you press the ‘g’ key while the issue occurs? Does it stop or it has no impact at all?
If the issue goes on, open the On-Screen Keyboard (from Windows accessibility apps menu), verify that the NoMachine window has the input focus then click the ‘g’ key, close the virtual keyboard and verify what happens.
