NoMachine Server and Client are 6.8.1

VSCode is 1.40, the problem was the same for 1.39, while 1.35 did not had this problem (I didn’t try 1.36-38)

OS on server is Ubuntu 18.04.2

OS on client is Win 10

I tested the different variations: bitmap and rle are totally slow. It takes about 10 sec to initially show the application. rle and 16m-png are more or less the same. Everything looks good, but you have a small delay while typing, but it’s too high to comfortably work. With 16m-jpeg working with the application is fine and without any delay, but the display has low contrast, as described above.

So using png but with less bandwidth needs would be ideal. Is there any way to reduce the size of tranferred data, but with a looseless compression? I would expect, that reducing the number of colors to 64K or even 256 could help and would be fine for this kind of usage.

What settings are available for pack= . If I know what can be used, I just try them out.

Thanks & Regards

I tried 16m-png-5 and it behaves better, but I still have a delay. Is there some documentation/list which values are allowed, so I can play around which value works best?

Second question, when will a change of this value become active? Only when I start a fresh session oder is it enough to disconnect and reconnect to an existing session?

Last question, is it possible to change/set this value in the client, so we can have different setting for different users, depending on their connection?

Thanks & Regards

Unfortunately setting this extension makes no difference.

Just in case it makes a difference:

I am running a “user defined session” starting only a xfce4-terminal in seamless mode and from the cmdline I am starting the visual studio code.

Then both are running seamless on the windows desktop. That works very well, only colors and fonts not come through as expected and this is really a show stopper for using it in our development team.

Thanks & Regards

AgentX11VectorGraphics is commented out like this:

#AgentX11VectorGraphics 1

If I switch back to the state without ProxyExtraOptions the typing speed is ok again, but contrast is very low. Attached is an example how it look with NX default settings and how it look on Windows (when setting  ProxyExtraOptions pack=16m-png  you get the same result as on the windows screenshot, with NX on Linux. I just can’t switch it back at the moment).

Thanks & Regards
