EndeavourOS X server not found

[jamat13]

Hi

I decided to move my main machine to endeverOS (arch linux). So I setup a test machine, got every thing working, including NoMachine then did my main machine.

I cannot get the main machine to work reliably. I have had it work a few times, but usually not.

The only significant difference is the test machine runs plasma5 and main machine runs LXQT. The login screen should eliminate desktop.

I see nxnode is not running

[seagull] /home/jam [503]% ps -ef |grep nx

jam        17755   17426  0 05:25 pts/0    00:00:00 grep nx

 

If I need to submit logs can I clean out all logs nefore starting. Do I just do sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –debug –enable daemon and disable?

Can anyone tell me what is wrong please?

PS “connecting ..” and wheel just turns

I copied node.cfg from working machine to non working machine

NoMachine – Version 8.10.1 (Free desktop)

viewer makes no difference linux/mac

OK I’ve now confirmed on both test and main machines:

Running plasma X11 operation is normal

Running lxqt main machine: login wheel turns, test machine: good display but mouse <clicks> totally ignored.

We cannot be sure that these problems are not coming from the fact that you are installing from the AUR repository. We are not aware of any issues with detecting LXQT sessions. So, what you should do is try the packages from our website:

uninstall:

sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver --uninstall

download and install:

wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/linux/64 -O nomachine.tar.gz
sudo tar zxf nomachine.tar.gz -C /usr/
sudo /usr/NX/nxserver --install redhat

I did not mean to imply NoMachine was in anyway defective, I’m exploring and I really appreciate help thanks 🙂

I installed the NoMachine version. I post picture1 saying “No X server …”

I then tried create your own server

Picture2

Puzzling things:

If my *session* is plasma (X11) then NoMachine works normally. (Not only for desktop but login screen too)

I did already do the PKGBUILD edit

This is the Downloaded version

[seagull] /home/jam [511]% !487
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –restart
[sudo] password for root:
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxd.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.

NX> 162 WARNING: Cannot find X servers running on this machine.
NX> 162 WARNING: A new virtual display will be created on demand.
NX> 161 Enabled service: nxd.

nxnode runs on plasma session not on lxqt session.

Only the first connection said “No Server” all subsequent connects go straight to picture2

I use NoMachine many times daily, If I can’t solve then I’ll change distro.

Houston we have a problem …

I have used NoMachine with lxqt on openSuSE many times over the years.

So overwhelmed by Arch linux I reinstalled Tumbleweed. Downloaded the rpm and *nearly same* problem.L

[seagull] /home/jam [333]% ps -ef |grep X
root      1661  1659  0 21:01 tty2     00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xorg.bin -nolisten tcp -background none -seat seat0 vt2 -auth /run/sddm/xauth_znXojC -noreset -displayfd 16
nx        3750     1  1 21:06 ?        00:00:00 /usr/NX/bin/nxserver.bin –daemon
nx        3798  3750  0 21:06 ?        00:00:00 /usr/NX/bin/nxd
jam       3855  3572  0 21:06 pts/1    00:00:00 grep –color=auto X

The difference is that I *can* login to NoMachine x-server.

Please help me find WHY. I will try, but I’m sure plasma desktop will give me the physical display.

I should be clear from above but there is no Wayland.

OK this is bizare but repeated and confirmed:

openSuSE Tumbleweed rpm downloaded, 8.10 free desktop

Screensaver off, display, X server not found

killall lxqt-session

login screen

login black screen

killall lxqt-session

login screen, set plasma-X11

login, works normally

logout

login screen, set lxqt-session

login, normal display, no mouse click

So it looks like

no X-server == no mouse clicks (I see pointer)

lxqt-session == no mouse clicks (I see pointer)

[jamat13]

<sigh> There are many aspects of Ubuntu I don’t like (we decree you shall …) but I installed Lubuntu 23.10 and everything works out the box. (including mouse, screensaver). This version of Lubuntu runs Xorg.
