Remote terminals have the wrong keyboard layout

[Bob_von_Knobloch]

I an running the free NoMachine 6.0.66_2_x86_64 on OpenSuse 32.3 && 42.1 on KDE Plasma.

Remote terminals (either way round) have the wrong keyboard mapping (US English perhaps?), whereas all my PCs have German[nodeadkeys] keyboards. Is there a fix?

Thanks,

 

Bob von Knobloch.

Assuming KDE is the remote side, have you tried to change keyboard to German in the KDE settings?

Thank you.

It did not seem intuitive as the client had connected to an existing X-Session, already having the correct (German) keyboard layout, but I suppose I don’t understand how NoMachine works :=)

The client treats raw keyboard event. The server is the place where raw events are translated in a meaningful symbol on the basis of the current keyboard layout.

Did changes in remote KDE settings take to any effect, by the way?

Could you change SessionLogClean to “0” in /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg in your server, reproduce the problem and send to me the folder /usr/NX/var/log compressed?

I have the same problem.

I am using  NoMachine 6.0.78_1_amd64.deb on debian Stretch with sddm on the server and client.

As both pcs are in the same room I can access the server with nx as well as with a direct connected keyboard ans monitor.

When I connect with NX the language chooser of the greeter only offers me US for the language (the flag at the top left). That’s specially annoying as I have special chars in my password which are hard to type with a us-keyboard layout.
When I hit any key on the physical attached keyboard the flag (and keyboard layout) changes to German. When I hit a key on the keyboard of the NX client machine it switches back to US. Pretty weird.

After login I can execute “setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de” and get a German keyboard layout with nx as well as with the locally attached keyboard.
