Hello all,
I am using here Kubuntu 22.04 as Server and as client. On other computers with the same system NX is working fine. But this one doesn’t really want to. At some point in 20.04, nx stopped working properly. Meaning: When you log in, you come to the normal NX menu and see “no desktop available”. The PHY screen is not available.
I have now completely uninstalled NoMachine here on 22.04, deleted all remaining files with rm, rebooted and reinstalled. Same behaviour.
What could be the problem here? What logs do you need to help me? NX Version 8.1.2-1
Very thanks
Best Regards 🙂
November 2, 2022 at 12:31 #41191BritgirlKeymasterHi, we are aware of an issue related to Wayland and the workaround for the moment is to disable Wayland and user X.org. Can you send us the logs of the remote Kubuntu server so we can check it’s the same issue we are currently investigating? Please consult the following document for instructions on how to extract the logs and submit them here, or send them directly to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure to use the title of this topic as the subject of your email. Thanks!
November 6, 2022 at 18:24 #41279epiphany123ParticipantI am suffering from the same bug in Gnome Wayland sessions. The server doesn’t always start at boot.
Nov 06 18:44:09 systemd[1]: nxserver.service: Deactivated successfully.

November 14, 2022 at 08:23 #41380boospyParticipantOk, I have debugged. I have found out that it is the pam_automount. When I move the file, I can connect immediately. I also noticed that although I ignore the user NX in the file pam_mount.conf.xml, this option of the file is ignored. This means that no screen is started.
Here are the Log during the login process: (sorry, didn’t find a code block for the post)

Here is n line from the “/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml”

I have also a NoMachine Workstation Version here, and there it works fine. Both are 8.2.3-4. I have the logs when it failed also attached. Maybe someone can read out a useful error message.
Thank you
Best Regards 🙂

Why this is happening, we can’t say. It indicates problems with your system, and not NoMachine, given that on your other server, everything is working without any issues.
December 4, 2022 at 20:38 #41801boospyParticipantI was able to solve it, I don’t know why this is the case with this machine. Apparently something is really bent. In any case, the solution was this:
In addition to the exclude, you must add an “or”. This does not make sense. But since then, NoMachine works again with pam Automount.
File: /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml

December 6, 2022 at 09:57 #41838BritgirlKeymasterThanks for letting us know. We’ll consider this resolved and unrelated to NoMachine.
