I followed the instructions out lined here:
However I still cannot connect to my instance “error cannot accept public key”. I couldn’t find .ssh/authorized_keys on my instance (didnt seem to be generated) so I uploaded my public key as found in puttygen from my .pem and renamed it as .nx/config/authorized.crt.
Any ideas?
Hello,
using the same steps in the tutorial, we tried to replicate your problem and were able to connect to an AWS EC2 instance (Ubuntu 16.04).
After installation of NoMachine on Ubuntu, I did have to create the .nx directory since it was not created automatically. So, after you connect to your instance via ssh and install NoMachine, you might need to do the following:
– create .nx directory manually (mkdir .nx)
– create config directory inside .nx (mkdir config)
– create file authorized.crt (touch authorized.crt)
– view content of directory .ssh/authorized_keys and append it to .nx/config/authorized.crt (cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys >> ~/.nx/config/authorized.crt)
After you do this and follow the rest of instructions from tutorial you should be okay and able to connect. Let us know if it worked for you. Good luck.
Greetings
The problem is I cannot find .ssh/authorized_key in my user area. I tried to copy my public key from puttygen on my PC to ~/.nx/config/authorized.crt in my user area. I can shh in with these keys.
Hello once again. You wrote that you can ssh to the remote machine with these keys which means that .ssh directory must be there.
Once you are connected to EC2 Ubuntu via ssh, you can use ls -la to list all directories (including hidden) and then navigate to .ssh or use cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/.ssh command. It will take you directly to .ssh directory. Then try to proceed all the steps from tutorial.
What version of NoMachine are you using?
