I am running the free version of NoMachine 4-2-26 as display server in a opensuse 13.1, and same NoMachine version under OSX for the client side.
As the starting mail reports, i can access the linux server whenever it has a monitor connected, otherwise i get connected to a blackĀ screen that does not allow me to login or access the server
I followed the configuration recommendations provided in the article https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00710 and did not get it to work.
after executing:
COOKIE=ps -ef | md5sum | cut -f 1 -d " "
xauth -f ~/Xvfb-0.auth add :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
xauth add :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
Xvfb :0 -auth ~/Xvfb-0.auth -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
DISPLAY=:0 nohup /etc/gdm/Xsession gnome-session &
I can see the Xvfb running: (ps -ax |grep -i x)
but after i run
DISPLAY=:0 nohup /etc/gdm/Xsession gnome-session &
it results in an error shown in ~/.xsession-errors-:0
