Could not connect to the Ubuntu server

[niksac]

I am trying to connect to a Ubuntu machine from a Windows machine. I am able to SSH and Putty into the Linux machine from my Windows (Client) machine, all works ok.

On the linux box, I have installed the NoMachine deb package version NoMachine_5.0.63_1_amd64.deb

When I check the status I see the following stats from SSH:

NX> 161 Enabled service: nxserver.

NX> 162 Disabled service: nxnode.

NX> 161 Enabled service: nxd.

However when I connect to the Linux machine from the Windows client using the NX protocol on port 22, NoMachine throws the following error:

Could not connect to server

Error is 138: Connection timed out.

I cannot remote desktop into my ubuntu machine.

Nxnode is disabled for some reason. Could be a simple license or configuration problem.
Also, you should connect using NX, not SSH since connecting on port 22 is reserved for SSH which is not supported in the free version.

The best solution is to remove and reinstall NoMachine.

Execute sudo dpkg –purge nomachine && sudo rm -rf /usr/NX /etc/NX

and install again. Let us know if that helps.
