Help installing on RPi 3b plus

[himan]

I have a Rasberry Pi 3 B+. First I tried downloading / installing “NoMachine for Raspberry ARMv8 DEB” (since I think RPi 3B+ is ARMv8), but when I tried to install I got this error message:

sudo dpkg -i nomachine_6.10.12_1_arm64.deb

dpkg: error processing archive nomachine_6.10.12_1_arm64.deb (–install):

package architecture (arm64) does not match system (armhf)

Errors were encountered while processing:

nomachine_6.10.12_1_arm64.deb

So, I downloaded and installed NoMachine for Raspberry ARMv7 DEB (nomachine_6.10.12_1_armhf.deb), and when I try to install this is the error message:

Desktop $ sudo dpkg -i nomachine_6.10.12_1_armhf.deb

(Reading database … 97657 files and directories currently installed.)

CUPS Printing Backend

The  NoMachine Node  setup procedure could not detect your

CUPS installation: either  CUPS  is not installed on  your

system or it was installed in a non-standard path. CUPS is

needed  in order to  enable  printing  support  in your NX

system.

Please note that you can enable  printing support for your

NX system at any time; to do this make sure  that you have

CUPS installed then run:

/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode –printingsetup <pathname>

to specify the location of the CUPS root path.

PulseAudio Backend

The NoMachine  setup procedure  could not  detect  your  PulseAudio

installation:  either  PulseAudio is not  installed  on your system

or it was  installed  in a non-standard path.  If PulseAudio is not

available, NoMachine audio support will try to rely on ALSA device.

Please note  that you can enable  PulseAudio  support  at any time;

to do this  make sure that you have PulseAudio installed, then run:

 

/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode –audiosetup <path>

 

to specify the location of the PulseAudio configuration files.

Output shows that there NoMachine was installed already. Did that previous installation work? Maybe indeed you have arm64 architecture but NoMachine armv7 package was installed already 🙂

To avoid further confusion, please uninstall NoMachine (sudo dpkg --purge nomachine && sudo rm -rf /usr/NX). Check architecture (uname -a for example), download correct version and install it.
