Can’t create a new virtual desktop on ubuntu 14.04

[jonilaserson]

Tried connecting to it from both Windows and another Linux machine, and I get the same behavior:

Once I click on “create a new virtual desktop” I return to the same screen, no error message is provided.

When I go to the system logs of the Ubuntu machine I’m trying to connect to, I see the following message:

Nov 24 13:38:24 monster7 gnome-session[27916]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1
Nov 24 13:38:24 monster7 gnome-session[27916]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry….

Please help!

I’m using NoMachine-Workstation-evaluation 5.0.47 on ubuntu 14.04. For client I’m using NoMachine version 5.0.47.

Hi,

I run into exactly the same problem  on ubuntu 14.04 with the same message in the system log. I can take over the physical display, I can start a custom session with the console but I cannot create a new virtual desktop.

I am using nomachine-workstation (evaluation license) 5.0.58-2 on ubuntu together with enterprise client 5.0.58 on windows7

Is there a fix already available for this problem? I attached the log files as requested here https://www.nomachine.com/DT07M00098

Try the workaround available here:

A black screen is displayed when running virtual desktops on Unity 3D or GNOME 3 and proprietary drivers
