Bug 304743 – net-misc/nxnode-3.4.0.11 and net-misc/nx-3.4.0-r1 regression in keyboard management

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frédéric COIFFIER 2010-02-12 16:42:18 UTC]

With nx-3.4.0-r1, when using a french keyboard map, typing some characters like ~ or using AltGr key breaks the keyboard map like if the AltGr key wasn't released.
The same problem occurs with right Ctrl which doesn't work.

This problem doesn't occurs with nx-3.4.0 and downgrading to nx-3.4.0 solves the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use freenx-server with nx-3.4.0-r1
2. setxkbmap fr (to use the french keymap)
3. Use the AltGr key
4. Type anything -> All keys display stranges characters

The bug was confirmed by NoMachine:

A workaround is to use the old nxagent code :
SRC_NXAGENT="nxagent-$PV-3.tar.gz"                          
instead of :
SRC_NXAGENT="nxagent-$PV-5.tar.gz"

Thanks for the report on both servers, I've added the faulty versions to package.mask for now, waiting for upstream to solve this

nxnode-3.4.0.13 and nx-3.4.0-r2 are now in tree (latest maintenance release from upstream), I have also removed the masked versions, so we are all done here :)

Thanks for the reports!
