You will be accessing the desktop layout currently running in your physical desktop, so:
For a more comfortable user experience, the native resolution of the NX client should match as better as possible with the resolution of the workstation being accessed to
Everything that was left running (documents, folders, browser windows, etc) will be shown in the NX session
When the NX session is closed, everything that was left running (documents, folders, browser windows, etc) will be shown in the physical desktop or further NX sessions
For security reasons, when you access your desktop remotely, the physical screen of your desktop will be turned off
So, if the remote session is not closed in the remote end, the physical screen of the desktop will remain black. To work around this, take the following steps:
Start another NX session, for instance from any other workstation of the ECMWF
This session will take the ownership of the screen
The previously running session will be terminated automatically as soon as the display is shown in the new one
Close the newly opened session
The screen output will be sent back to the physical screen
If the Linux workstation has two monitors attached, the screen layout may appear incorrectly after disconnecting an NX session. To fix this:
Click in the KDE start button
Type "display" in the search box
Select "display configuration"
Drag the secondary monitor and drop it back in its intended position
Click "apply"
