Hi.
We didn’t forget our retina users! 🙂
Our experience with the newer versions of Qt used on mobile clients didn’t give us solutions for the High-DPI displays, so we need to handle the request differently, and to track this change we opened some time ago this feature request:

Adding an option to use native resolution on High-DPI displays
https://www.nomachine.com/FR02M02864

So far we didn’t give much importance to it because, as you said, the user can always configure the desktop to use more space or he can resize the remote desktop to use a bigger resolution, but as High-DPI displays become more widespread we understand that raising the priority of this feature has become important.

Hi.

In order to work correctly the NoMachine Monitor must be connected to a NoMachine Node, so it is not meant to be launched manually.
What would you like to do?

The error ‘Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key’ may be caused for example by an environment variable XAUTHORITY pointing to a file with wrong authority cookies.

Hi angelus1969.
We’re aware of issues related to hardware mouse, but the example you did sounds weird because interactions with windows should work correctly.
Can you please check if the option “Show the cursor pointer” in Input settings is enabled in your client? We’ve found a bad interaction between that option and the hardware mouse, so you need to disable it to work around the issue.

Hi. We’re trying to reproduce this issue in our labs. Could you give us more details about your Mac? Do you see the black menu bar only through the NoMachine session, or also locally on Mac?
It would be great if you could send a screenshot and the output of the command “system_profiler -detailLevel mini” to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com

Hello noahy.
Currently Software Updates are in beta, so enabling the automatic update option is not allowed. It must always be run manually. Sorry for not making this more clear.
The good news is that we’re very close to a release supporting Software Updates, we’re currently working on our infrastructure.

Thank you for the reports. We’re doing a major rework of the mobile keyboard to better support all languages. Stay tuned!

[Tor]

Snejok, I’m sorry for the delay!
We’ve opened this Trouble Report to document the issue: https://www.nomachine.com/TR12L04744
A fix will be released very soon. As always, thank you for reporting and helping with this. 🙂

Hi snejok.
This was already in our roadmap, we’ve added a Feature Request so you can track it: https://www.nomachine.com/FR12L02846

Hi Enrico.

A rootless application requires a windowing system handling the application’s window geometry, visibility, etc. (i.e. operations that you normally do by using the window frame on a desktop OS). This kind of window management is not offered by Android so running an application in rootless mode is not allowed.

When you run a custom session it automatically creates a virtual desktop, which explains why you don’t see two different options in the custom session configuration.

In order to run a custom application on mobile you have a couple of options.

· Run the application by using the ‘-geometry’ option, for example

/path/to/application -geometry wxh+0+0

where “w” and “h” are width and height of the screen of your Android device, and “+0+0” means that the origin of the window must be the origin of the display. The application will cover all the available area.

· Run a script executing a window manager and your application, for example

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/metacity &
/path/to/application

Replace “metacity” with the window manager you prefer. You can use the window manager to maximize the application’s window like you do on desktop.

Hi NeK.

4 the software keyboard for some reason stutters a lot (freezes for a second) while typing. this is irritating and i make all kinds of mistakes.

We’re not aware of such a problem so we’ve started an investigation, thank you for reporting it.

5. bluetooth keyboard support is not working correctly. almost none of the keys pass through to the server and certainly none meta keys do. please fix this as it is the single most important function of remote desktop, you can never do real work without a full keyboard. Full, including everything, meta, alt,ctrl, esc, tab, even super. else its just a toy. Please fix it too.

A better support for bluetooth keyboard is in the pipeline, we’ll release something soon.

6. and of course a full software keyboard is needed. Full keys, all of the standard US layout. arrows, ctrl, alt, super, home, end, prntscreen etc. that would be great.

This is currently in testing phase and as I said in my answer to mia, it’ll be included in the next release.

We’ve published an update on Play Store right now, as always it’ll be available in a few hours. This version fixes a freeze occurring sometimes when the client connects to the remote desktop. Can you try it and let me know if it solves your issue?

[Tor]

Hi.

This feature will allow to configure the client to never close:

Running NoMachine client in kiosk mode
https://www.nomachine.com/FR02L02809

A quick solution with the current version can be implemented with a script that uses the option suggested by drichard:

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
  /usr/NX/bin/nxplayer --session connection.nxs --exit
done

Hi!
You should do nothing special, the button must be visible when you connect to a Windows OS. We solved a similar problem in an old version, can you confirm that you’re using 4.3.30 also on Windows Server 2008R2?
If the installed version is the same on client and server, it would be helpful if you could send client side logs to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com. You can find them in the directory %USERPROFILE%\.nx\

Hi jnko.
All 4.x versions are compatible so there must be something more. We’re investigating it. In the meanwhile if the client will crash again, could you please submit the crash report to Google by using the dialog appearing when the app closes? You may also add a little comment, so that we know that it comes from you. Thank you very much.

Hi mia.
We’re heavily focused on the extended keyboard functionality and we plan to include it in the next release. We’re also working on the middle mouse button, but it’s part of another feature that will require more time to be completed. If there is a gesture that we can use to quickly introduce that button press, we’ll add it for sure!
