Cannot detect any display running, Do you want NoMachine to create a new display

[sotpar]

I have a NoMachine 8.9.1 installation on Ubuntu 23.04 64bit with Wayland.

(gnome 44.3 kernel 6.3.0-34)

When I try to connect from Internet to this machine, I get the response:

“Cannnot detect any display running, Do you want NoMachine to create a new display and proceed to connect to the desktop?”

This message appears when NoMachine finds no display running, so it asks you if you want to create one.  NoMachine is designed to work out-of-the-box on Linux headless machines provided a desktop environment is installed. NoMachine is able to detect when the X server is not running and run its own virtual display, which is an embedded X server.

If you click “yes” what happens?

Tries to connect. But no desktop.

After a reboot of the server pc seems to work now

So now you can connect with NoMachine?

Yes, for now seems to work ok!
