I am trying to use NoMachine 4 to connect from a OSX client to a Linux server. The server is an AWS EC2 instance running Ubuntu 15.04 Server.
I have installed Gnome 3.0 Desktop on the server. I then installed the NoMachine package (nomachine_4.6.4_13_amd64.deb).
I then followed these instructions from NoMachine (https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00710) to setup Xvfb, as this is a headless machine:
export COOKIE=
ps -ef | md5sum | cut -f 1 -d " "export AUTHFILE=$HOME/Xvfb-0.auth
xauth -f $AUTHFILE add :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
xauth add :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
Xvfb :0 -auth $AUTHFILE -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
DISPLAY=:0 nohup /etc/X11/Xsession gnome-session &
I then installed the NoMachine client on my OSX box, and attempted to connect via the NX protocol on port 4000. I get the error message “Error: Cannot accept public key”.
Below are the contents of the logfiles (created using the Save Logs button):

Any thoughts on what’s going on?
Hello,
on the headless machine eg. on AWS EC2 navigate to the <user’s home>/.nx/ create directory ‘config’.
In the ‘config’ directory create file ‘authorized.crt’.
Copy to this file contents of your public key file, this file has the extension .pub.
After completing these steps you will be able to connect to the NoMachine using the private key.
