I’m unable to connect from a Windows 7 client (4.5.0) to a Linux (AWS Amazon Linux) server (4.6.12), both free. Whenever I try, I see one of the following:
– “The connection with the server was lost. Error is 106: Software caused connection abort.”
– “Could not start the display server. Error is 5: Input/output error.”
– “Could not connect to the server. Error is 108: Connection reset by peer.”
– “The session negotiation failed. Error: Agent was not initialized properly”
There doesn’t seem to be a predictable pattern for when I get which error.
I’m using the NX protocol (not SSH) and the default port (4000).
The linux machine is headless, but I’ve installed Xvfb as the X server for it following instructions in a NoMachine KB article. That seems to work.
In the past I had version 3.5 of the server running on the same host and it worked well, except that I was seeing a strange issue with selecting text that was driving me crazy. Someone told me that upgrading the server will solve that, but I haven’t been able to connect since.
