scp file transfer rates are adequate but I’ll put some numbers to that claim.  I have a believable 25MB/sec connect at home and the U’s pipe it , um er, rather large, but something is choking.  We’ll see what stats I can get from local network folks.

I have checked the box for ‘Grab keyboard’ on a PC client and the Windows-p does toggle the resolution!  (The reverse is true on the mac: I do NOT check ‘Grab keyboard’ ant command-p toggles resolution.

Up to you if this is to be closed 🙂

Thanks

[iceback]

I appreciate your efforts very much.

I currently do not have “Grab the keyboard” check and I get the toggle behaviour with command-p.  If I check it I do not get the behaviour.  I’m working with others here (PC users) to see if this check box or Windows-p helps them at all.  I will report tomorrow.

Thanks

My input settings are identical except on a mac the string is “⌃⌥0”

(Btw, clicking on your image cleared out my full posting. Very annoying.)

No, I use peel back or ctrl-alt-0 to access the NX control. The only keyboard trick I do is to swap capsLock and control keys.  (I use emacs a lot, as should we all.)

The screens are enlarged whenever I rejoin an NX session. The individual windows on the client desktop are larger then when I left them and Command-p re-sizes them to where I left them.

Again, we connect to the root console of our server machines (each to his/her own) through a KVM switch, hence a single physical monitor.  This works fine with the exception that the PC clients are seeing only the enlarged version and I’m desperate for whatever Command-p is doing for me.

Happy to use a debug version is that helps. (I’ll be out of the office Monday, Tuesday)

That’s weird.  I guess it just a Mac thing?!

When I start a new connection or return to an existing connection the client windows are perhaps 50% larger.  Command-p then re-adjusts the windows.

I use ‘Fit to Window’ and ‘Full Screen’. The Quality setting is at maximum, the Resolution is 1:1. Display: 1920×1080, code VP8

Nasty secret.  We use NX to get to desktops (4.6) which are all behind a single kvm.  The rest of the group, running on PC clients see only the enlarged view.  I’ve been looking for the PC-equivalent of Command-p for them.

Happy to round of log files if anyone is interested.

I’m using 4.4.1 on mac and 4.6 on linux surver.  cmd-tab walks through mac os (local) apps, Ctrl-tab walks through linux (remote) apps.  What are you guys seeing?

 

[iceback]

OMG.

Four upgrades later I grab the wrong rpm.  So sorry for the noise.

The client is a mac OSX 10.10.2 with version 4.4.1

I can connect to other machines at same center. They have not been upgraded to 4.6

 

 

[iceback]

YES! Bless you, that does the trick.  Is a little frightening how happy this makes me.

I just now connect from purity to quirky and indeed the “key labelled CapsLock” still toggles Upper Lower case and acts as a control key.  I’ll send the logfile(s).  I’m assuming they are the ones which named “quirky”.

Has anyone reported success with this swapping?

 

[iceback]

I also still see the problem from 32bit Ubuntu-12.4 running NoMachine-4.4.1. I too am running Gnome, CTRL swap from keyboard layout choices, same report xprop (i.e. ctrl:swapcaps)

 

[iceback]

I’m on RHEL6.6 using Gnome window manager. I use

System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts to swap the keys. Is that not a front to setxkbmap?

 

[iceback]

Here’s the output from

xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = “evdev”, “pc105+inet”, “us”, “”, “terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp”
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING)        = “evdev”, “pc105+inet”, “us”, “”, “terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,ctrl:swapcaps”

[iceback]

Yes, very likely I disconnected before leaving for vacation.

I used Ctrl+Alt double-click on both the local “Recent Sessions” screen and the remote hosts sessions screen which showed I was on the physical display (one of two, the other had “gdm” as the user).  Both individually (C+Aclicks on only one) and combined.  No visible change. Logs coming…
