Cannot compile manually nxusb.ko on Ubuntu 18.04

[hogaeng]

I remote I want to use remote usb service, but there is no usb devices.
I found why there is no devices. My computer failed compile nxusb.ko.

$ cat /usr/NX/var/log/nxinstall.log | grep -i usb
NX> 700 Running: /bin/chown root:root ‘/usr/NX/scripts/restricted/nxusb.sh’.
NX> 700 Running: /bin/chmod 744 ‘/usr/NX/scripts/restricted/nxusb.sh’.
NX> 700 Running: /bin/chmod u+s ‘/usr/NX/scripts/restricted/nxusb.sh’.

NX> 700 Running: /bin/rm -f ‘/usr/NX/lib/libnxusb-legacy.so’.
NX> 700 Cannot compile USB module.

I try to compile it manually, but I got this error.

Please help me.
I’m using free version of NoMachine. My local computer is Ubuntu 18.04 and gcc version is 7.4. I’m connecting Windows10 and the other services work fine. Thank you.

Hi,

Considering some changes in the latest kernel codes, it is necessary to apply a patch to build nxusb.ko on that version of the kernel. We can send it to you if you agree.

One of the next releases of NoMachine will include this patch.

I’m glad to hear about the good news. Now this issue is no more necessary to me. I can wait stable version. Thank you for your support.

I would be interested in trying this patch, please. I have the exact same problem, Ubuntu 18.04, NoMachine 6.8.1.

Please update to the latest version release a couple of days ago. It contains the patch. Full announcement here: https://www.nomachine.com/SU12Q00208

Ah, I hadn’t noticed the release of 6.9.2 – that seems to work for me. Thank you.
