    Win7 to RedHat Linux, both NoMachine version is the same 6.7.6 on both sides..

    Attachsession fails with

    500 ERROR: Cannot connect to the requested session. Session with id: 9838E2BA07BFF1EE5FF509D4F84AC661 does not exist.

    The linux side creates the expected dirs

    slc14unw /usr/NX/var/log/node>ls
    F-C-slc14unw-1001-9838E2BA07BFF1EE5FF509D4F84AC661

    But the active session started seems to be on 13E01F5A403A80C32DFF113CDD094013

    Hello.

    First thing, from the process list, the nxserver with parameters

    –virtualsession –sessionid 13E01F5A403A80C32DFF113CDD094013

    means that NoMachine could not find the physical session and is creating a virtual session for you to connect. So the question is, is the machine you are trying to connect to (RedHat) headless, or maybe the Xserver providing service is disabled?

    If you can confirm there is a physical session running on that machine, there is a first problem – NoMachine was not able to detect the physical session.

    Second problem is with that virtual session itself, as you mention the directory

    F-C-slc14unw-1001-9838E2BA07BFF1EE5FF509D4F84AC661

    is created, the information here is that the beginning letter F means this is failed session.

    The most probable scenario here is that this session failed during the connection attempt, which produced the bizarre error that session does not exist.

    The fact that the last process list does not have any nxserver –virtualsession
    process running could mean the sessions are being created and rapidly failing.

    Unfortunately to investigate this issue further, we would require logs.

    Article on how to collect logs:

    https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163 (“How to gather debug logs for support requests”)

    After gathering logs, please send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com using the title of that forum’s
    thread as the mail’s subject.

    Also please check the node.cfg configuration file, usually located on linux here:

    /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg

    and see if the config key DefaultDesktopCommand is set properly to the desktop environment
    installed on the machine.

    @tsher, it seems the logs you sent were not correct. Can you make sure you follow the instructions from Mth carefully and in the article and try sending again?

    Hello tsher,

    It looks like there’s problem with gnome, there are numerous errors in remote node logs:
    2019-07-10 16:34:12 287.271 18278 NXNODE WARNING! Process ‘/bin/bash -c exec -a – /bin/ksh -c ‘/etc/gdm/Xsession ‘\”gnome-session –session=gnome’\” with pid ‘18316/18316’ finished with exit code 1 after 1,848 seconds.

    .xsession-errors file in user’s home directory or system logs(such as syslog) might show some more information.
    Is that machine headless? Could you confirm that Desktop environment is working properly?
