Ray, there must be a problem in the way the client determines if the server is running on Windows.
Do you mind sending us client side logs to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com ? You can read the paragraph “How to gather client side logs” in these guidelines: https://www.nomachine.com/AR07K00677
Thanks!
Hi rhand.
We’ve just released version 4.3 implementing shortcuts. By default you can use Ctrl+Alt+M to minimize. It can be changed from Input and Preferences dialogs.
Hi Ray308,
could you tell me the NoMachine version installed on the server? Is Windows a plain 2008, or a 2008 R2?
Hi byrne.
How effective is the hardware encoding on a Linux Terminal Server? If we use an Nvidia card in our Terminal server how many virtual desktops will benefit from hardware accelerated encoding? I assume there is a limit on the number of simultaneous streams that can be encoded on the card (8?). Is hardware encoding supported for VP8 or is it a h264 feature only? The Terminal Server evaluation lacks h264 support.
We don’t use hardware encoders. We use the hardware only on decoding side.
The seamless/rootless mode for running a single application seems to garble quite a lot of the graphics (e.g. the mouse pointer) and the performance of the graphics updates suffers (e.g. playing video) when compared to running the same application in a full desktop. Is this a known limitation? I am running an EL6 server/client.
Full desktop sessions can work either via the NX compression of X protocol (“lightweight” mode) or via H.264/VP8 encoding. Rootless sessions always work through a mix of compressed X protocol and VP8 encoding. This is not a limitation on performance generally, but there could be some difference under specific conditions and with specific applications.
Can the options in the !M tray icon be customised? For example if I disable the whiteboard in the node.cfg it still appears in the icon drop down menu (but does nothing). It’s the same for allowing uploads, if disabled it still appears in the icon dropdown. I’d be happy if the icon only gave the option to record the session or “download a file from the server” and nothing more.
In fact those unavailable items should not be visible. We’ve recently noticed the problem, a fix is ready and will be released soon.
Can the option to show the menu panel also be completely disabled? We don’t want users to be able to play with settings or try to create new connections.
We’re planning to implement this feature that may help you:

It is still not approved because we want to be sure to offer a flexible solution. For example in your case the ‘Disabled’ setting may not be correct because you don’t want to forbid the credential saving but just disable the menu panel.
[VGL] ERROR: Could not open display :0.
The X server is running on :0 using the nvidia module. Maybe it’s an auth issue? This is on EL6.This is due to a failure connecting to the 3D X server. I suggest running again the vglserver_config script by adding command line options: +s +f +t.
Am I correct in assuming that VGL uses the graphic card in a Terminal Server to draw the GL which is then video encoded in the normal NX way and sent to the client? Could the VGL be sent and drawn on the connecting client instead? All our desktop clients have fast graphics cards so can we u utilise them to improve the display quality/speed? Does hardware decoding (h264) make a big difference to the desktop experience?
Our software uses VirtualGL to render OpenGL application in hardware on the server side. We don’t provide a channel forwarding OpenGL calls or GLX requests to the client side.
Hi Pheckphul.
Actually we don’t have problems to handle the middle mouse button on any platforms, so we can confirm that the problem in your case may be related to the Logitech T400, which we didn’t have the possibility to test.
When we talk about “middle mouse button emulation” we mean the behaviour that you can normally trigger by pressing left and right mouse buttons, which on Linux it is the same as pressing the middle mouse button.
This option is not available at the moment, but it is ready in our development version and will be released soon.Hi NikNik.
We are aware of some problems of NoMachine mobile related to keyboard and mouse, they will be addressed soon in one of the next updates.
Hi.
We’re currently working on keyboard problems and some issues related to gestures. We’ll soon submit an update for review.
Thanks for your patience!
Hi donnek.
It appears that you left checked the option “Change the server resolution to match the client when I connect” in the last dialog shown when the session connects, or that the “Resize remote screen” option is enabled. In both cases the remote desktop tries to resize to the requested geometry or, if it is not a supported resolution, to the nearest smaller geometry that in your case may be 1280×720. In order to leave the remote desktop to the native resolution, be sure to disable the options above.
If you’ve dismissed the dialogs appearing when the session connects, you can either create a new connection or edit the configuration and check the box “Reset saved preferences and password”.Hello dhy.
We’re aware of this problem, it is due to the way Qt handles the AltGr button on Windows. We were
already planning to do something for it, but we’ve opened a public Trouble Report that you may track:https://www.nomachine.com/TR06L04476
Thanks!
Hello tagore.
Currently the right mouse button could not help to remove connection files, because the context menu is not available for the Android client. We’re evaluating different ways to restore the file removal option, but for the time being you can handle the NoMachine directory in your SD card storage by using the stock or 3rd party file browser, as you’ve already noticed.
Hello MartinS.
We’re aware of problems with the external mouse. Actually the right button acts like the Back key, so we’re working on our interface library to add this functionality. Stay tuned!
Hello Kleven, thank you for reporting this issue!
We have inserted a new Trouble Report at https://www.nomachine.com/TR06L04460
Right now the fix is under testing, so most likely it’ll be available in the next release. In the link above you can also find an option to be notified when it gets closed.Hello esarmien!
I have to say that you are the first person to have reported this particular problem of the label not being clear. The UI has been designed so that the user, when landing on the desktop list, shouldn’t have to click anything other than click the session that belongs to him. Of course, this won’t stop the user from exploring what buttons do and so on!Let’s not confuse ‘stateful buttons’ (View, Order by, My/All desktops), which let you configure how you want to view the desktop list, and ‘action buttons’ (e.g New desktop, Back, Connect) which prompt you to do something.
All the state buttons follow the same logic, i.e. the icon you see in the button is the configuration that you have in front of you. So when you see “My desktops”, you are already viewing your desktops. Adding a verb to the button, if there was space, wouldn’t solve the problem for the handful of your users who click on it. They would still click on it because they believe that by clicking on it they will see their desktops, when in fact they are already seeing their desktops.
As Britgirl mentioned, changing the logic of one button, means changing it for all the other buttons. What we need to come up with is a better label that communicates that your are already viewing your own desktops, and that by clicking on the button you will view yours and everybody else’s.
The suggestion provided by Britgirl about disabling desktop sharing could be a viable workaround if your users don’t need to share. In the meantime, we’ll evaluate what other options are possible to improve this label.
Thanks anyway for your suggestions and comments.
