NX Client - 'e' key acts as backspace

Question

I am using NoMachines NX Client 3.4.0-8 for Mac OS X to connect to NX Server Version 3.4.0-12 on Ubuntu. For some reason, when I use the 'e' key, it is interpreted as a backspace. I tried using this solution, but it did not work for me. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Answer 1

The fix you linked to is almost correct; it assumes you run csh, whereas both OS X and Ubuntu use bash. You want to add the following line to .bash_profile instead of their change to .login:

xmodmap fix-e-key-for-mac.xmodmap >/dev/null 2>&1

Answer 2

have you tried another key board, my junky Microsoft keyboard had a similar problem and I and purchased a new one and fixed the problem. also Em running windows xp and seven so it could be a entirely different issue on your part.
