Hello everyone.

I think this planned feature will help:

https://www.nomachine.com/FR10M02977

[graywolf]

Sorry, my instructions were misleading. Search for Gnome config files and folders in directory $HOME, not $HOME/.nx.

 

[graywolf]

I cannot reproduce this issue. Could you describe more in detail the steps I should follow?

Let we look at log files from server side (the whole folder %ProgramData%\NoMachine\var\log) and configuration files (server.cfg and node.cfg in %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\NoMachine\etc).

Client log files could be also useful. You can find them in $HOME/.nx (Linux), “%USERPROFILE%\.nx” and  “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\NoMachine” (Windows). Send everything to forum (at) nomachine (dot) com

May I suggest to reset your custom configuration?

I noticed OpenNX created some files in the .nx folder. Please uninstall OpenNX at first.

Then clean up your configuration: move the %USERPROFILE%\.nx directory to a backup folder, let’s say %USERPROFILE%\dotnx (you could like to access your old configuration files later).

Do the same thing for the $HOME/.nx folder on the remote nodes.

Finally reset your Gnome configuration on NoMachine nodes:

1. Be sure you have no desktop session running on the nodes (neither remote nor local).
2. Reach nodes through SSH
3. Create a backup folder for Gnome configuration files: $ mkdir oldconfig
4. Move current config files to backup: $ mv .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity oldconfig
5. Run NoMachine to create a remote Gnome session: configuration will be recreated.

I read your original report again:

I lose mouse and keyboard control to everything on the desktop except for the currently active window

It is possible the window manager grabbed keyboard and mouse and failed to release them. On the next time, try ro restart the window manager in the remote desktop:

 

$ metacity --replace

 

I also suggest to try the new NoMachine 5 release.

nyholku, although this looks a “NoMachine for Mac OS X” topic I think this belongs to the same feature request.

I tried to workaround this issue using xmodmap to swap Ctrl and Super keys on the remote host, but with no success. It seems some major applications (I tried firefox and gedit) are hard-wired to use Ctrl key no matter if it is remapped in the X server keymap.

[graywolf]

Issues similar to yours show up when a modifier key became stuck (because the “key released” event was caught by another application).

When problem occurs, try to press and release once all the modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, for both left and right hand) and verify if behavior came back to normal.

I see this problem with this setup:

Client NX 3.5 for Windows -> Server 4.6.16 for Linux (Centos 6.5).

NX 3.5 cannot copy/paste non-latin charachters, but I didn’t find any issue copying from/to Linux and Windows when both sides run NoMachine 4.6.

Plase try running NoMachine 4 on both sides, don’t mix-up NX 3 and NoMachine 4. If this won’t solve your problem, please send relevant log files to forum (at) nomachine (dot) com

With “relevant log” I mean:

• /usr/NX/var/log and $HOME/.nx  on Linux
• %ProgramData%\NoMachine\var\log and  %USERPROFILE%\.nx on Windows

Please gather logs with troublesome session running and connected.

 

[graywolf]

I tried to reproduce without success.

Could you tell me how do you access the remote clients, through NoMachine as well?

What is the application you copy from and the one you paste to?

[graywolf]

Hello hammett.

Thank you for suggestions. You’ll like to know the feature you proposed will be implemented.

 

[graywolf]

Hello unlim.

Could you provide details about the operating systems on the both sides and whether the problem arises connecting to a physical or a virtual display?

[graywolf]

A Trouble Report was created about this issue: https://www.nomachine.com/TR09M06027

[graywolf]

Could you send the content of %ProgramData%\NoMachine\var\log from the server? You can use email: forum ( at ) nomachine ( dot ) com

To workaround this issue, uncheck “Use acceleration for display processing” in NoMachine configuration of the server.

Hello captaink.

I reproduce a similar issue. By the way, I can see that server host gets the Cmd key: I keep the on screen keyboard open on the server host, and if I press Cmd on client, I see that Cmd key on the on screen keyboard is highlighted.

The shortcuts Cmd+Tab and Cmd+Space don’t work, indeed.

Could you clarify this point? Which description among the following two matches with issue you found:

1. Cmd key event is not received at all by server host at
2. Cmd key event is received, but shortcuts don’t work

 

[graywolf]

It looks the same problem. No matter, you can go back and forth either with Alt+Tab or Alt+<desktop number>.

Trouble Report is here: https://www.nomachine.com/TR08M05960
