Hello.
Archlinux with KDE and last Plasma 5.17, NoMachine 6.8.1-1
In this Plasma release /usr/bin/startkde script was discontinued, and for start KDE session need to use /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 binary.
When connecting to a remote machine, a “Oops! Cannot run startkde. Please ensure thet the requested application is in the system PATH and that you have appropriate credentials to execute it” message appears.
in /usr/NX/node.cfg replace
DefaultDesktopCommand “/usr/bin/dbus-launch –exit-with-session startkde”
to
DefaultDesktopCommand “/usr/bin/dbus-launch –exit-with-session startplasma-x11”
or
DefaultDesktopCommand “/usr/bin/startplasma-x11”
then restart nxserver and trying to connect again – error message “Session negotiation failure” appears
in journalctl:

[/code]
If replace startplasma-x11 to, e.g., startlxde – works fine.
Is there a way to run KDE with Plasma 5.17 remotely?
Thank you.
(sorry for my bad English 🙁 )
October 18, 2019 at 10:40 #24080BritgirlKeymasterHi, thanks for reporting, we’ve opened a Trouble Report and provided the correct workaround. To avoid further confusion and splitting of topics, please refer to https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/nx-wont-work-with-recent-kde-5-17. Thanks!
October 18, 2019 at 11:01 #24083eugenezParticipantSession has loaded, but window decorations are not rendered.
And I couldn’t get into the session opened on the desktop remotely.

October 18, 2019 at 11:30 #24089og00rContributorCould you try:
add “env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY” to DefaultDesktopCommandDefaultDesktopCommand “env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY /usr/bin/dbus-launch –sh-syntax –exit-with-session /usr/bin/startplasma-x11” ?
This should work for any installations running NoMachine virtual desktop sessions (e.g you have Workstation installed) and also the free version when NoMachine uses its own embedded X server. To be able to run a physical desktop session, a patch from us is required. We are preparing a package that will fix the issues reported here and will let you know when it’s ready.
October 18, 2019 at 12:21 #24098eugenezParticipant1. With workaround DefaultDesktopCommand “env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/startplasma-x11”
#/etc/NX/nxserver –restart
awk: cmd. line:1: warning: regexp escape sequence `\”‘ is not a known regexp operator
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.
NX> 162 Service: nxnode already disabled.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxd.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxnode.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxd.
Windows decorations are OK, but not in new, not worked, session
2. With DefaultDesktopCommand “env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY /usr/bin/dbus-launch –sh-syntax –exit-with-session /usr/bin/startplasma-x11” – error “Session negotiation failure”
# /etc/NX/nxserver –restart
awk: cmd. line:1: warning: regexp escape sequence `\”‘ is not a known regexp operator
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.

October 18, 2019 at 12:29 #24096eugenezParticipantWindows decorations are ok, thanks.
October 18, 2019 at 16:35 #24107og00rContributorSo I assume virtual sessions are working correctly right now?
About warning during restart and physical session.
‘NX> 162 WARNING: Cannot find X servers running on this machine.
NX> 162 WARNING: A new virtual display will be created on demand.’
It happens, because NoMachine can not find correct session with new plasma in version 5.17.
There is a Trouble Report for it:https://www.nomachine.com/TR10Q09441
As there is not workaround at this moment we could prepare package with fix for you, but we need to know what packages you are using (nxserver –version) on what architecture (x86 or x64) for Arch Linux?
October 18, 2019 at 18:48 #24114eugenezParticipantNoMachine – Version 6.8.1
Archlinux x64
October 22, 2019 at 08:02 #24169eugenezParticipantI can confirm that new patched version of NoMachine works great. Thank you very much!
