Mouse on headless server

[mgutierrez]

Hi all,

I’m currently facing a problem I don’t know how to solve.

I’m running NoMachine on a Linux Mint headless server, which has a mouse physically connected (bluetooth). I’m using an android tablet to connect to the NoMachine server. My problem is that the remote mouse does not appear in the screen, so I cannot use the attached mouse, the bluetooth one.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, what is the exact Mint version, and what desktop environment is running there?

[mgutierrez]

Hi. Mint 20.3. Cinnamon edition

Check that  “Show remote cursor pointer” in the Input panel of the Player settings is enabled.

yes, the setting is enabled. I can see the mouse pointer, but unable to move it. If I connect from a pc there is no problem, since I use the mouse connected to the pc. But when connecting from a tablet, I need to use the mouse attached to the headless server

Please disregard this issue. Connecting to the second screen presented when opening nxclient, fixes the issue. Thanks for your support.
