Failed deb installation

[manomach]

I have previously had NoMachine installed. However, I removed by ‘sudo dpkg –purge nomachine’ and then ‘sudo rm -rf /usr/NX/  /var/NX/  /etc/NX/’

However, when I try to install the NoMachine I just downloaded, ‘sudo dpkg -i nomachine_8.14.2_1_amd64.deb’. I receive the following error:

Selecting previously unselected package NoMachine.

(Reading database … 219321 files and directories currently installed.)

Hello Manomach

Looks like you have remains of previously installed: nomachine-
enterprise-desktop (8.11.3-4). Firstly try run:

sudo dpkg -P nomachine

sudo dpkg -P nomachine-enterprise-desktop

sudo rm -rf /usr/NX/ /var/NX/ /etc/NX/

and install again:

sudo dpkg -i nomachine_8.14.2_1_amd64.deb

If you get error again, download debug package:

https://download.nomachine.com/44bef5297fe9efb3430b9fd47ad18b01/downloads/temporary/forum/nomachine_8.14.2_10_amd64.deb

MD5:
a1c278d63d5a8f22873723040b85e2fa nomachine_8.14.2_10_amd64.deb

and install like this:

sudo dpkg -i nomachine_8.14.2_10_amd64.deb &> installDBG.log

check permissions in dir:

ls -l /usr/NX/scripts/setup/

then send installDBG.log and ‘ls’ output to
forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.

Do you use fapolicyd?

Hi zaq,

Thank you very much. I needed to remove NoMachine Enterprise Desktop. I have now installed NoMachine installed on my computer.
