I have tried the following on a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04: 1. Installed nxnode_3.5.0-9_i386.deb and nxserver_3.5.0-11_i386.deb from nomachine.com 2. Installed libxrandr2_1.4.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr (under Raring) - note that I'm installing a Raring binary package on a Precise system, but it seems to work fine.
I can confirm that the Kwin crash is gone, from as much as I could test. However, I've noticed another problem: When the main NX window is resized, the Kwin desktop does not get resized with it. The root window does change the resolution, though, which is evidenced by the fact that windows can be dragged into the newly added area. See the attached screenshot for a visual explanation of the problem. I discovered that downgrading libxfixes3 package to the one from Oneric (isntall package libxfixes3_5.0-4_i386.deb) enables the Kwin desktop window to be resized together with the main NX window. ** Attachment added: "Kwin desktop window not resizing together when main NX window is resized" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/libxrandr/+bug/985202/+attachment/3564205/+files/screenshot-kde-not-resizing-in-nx.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxrandr in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985202 Title: libx11 causes kwin to crash on login (over NX protocol) Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “libxrandr” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libxrandr” source package in Precise: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] xserver crash with kwin and NX [Test Case] install NX server, log in remotely using kde session [Regression Potential] small, patch has been in raring for a couple of weeks now without issues -- This behavior is 100% reproducible. I have freenx-server installed from here: https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa And am logging in from a remote machine with the newest nxclient from nomachine.org. What happens is that upon login or shortly thereafter, kwin crashes with a segfault. After restarting, it crashes at regular intervals as well. I reported a bug to the KDE4 tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298370 And it was marked a duplicate of a bug NOT related to NX: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293209 Judging from the backtrace, and from the comments in bug 293209, the problem is related to Xorg, and the people at KDE seem to think that the problem might even be Ubuntu 12.04 specific. So I decided to re- report the bug here and give you pointers to the relevant KDE bugreports. We are really desperate to get Kwin working under NX and are willing to test whatever you like!
