NoMachine (6.7.6-11) does not work with any Nvidia drivers

[merl77]

I’m using Ubuntu 16.04.6 with four GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPUs.

NoMachine appears to work fine and I can connect remotely to the host machine. No problems logging-in with the local account on the host machine.

However, whenever the Nvidia drivers are installed, I can remotely connect to the host machine but I can’t login with the local account on the host machine.

Lightdm appears to crash every time. Sometimes the remote session won’t connect and have to stop the lightdm service and restart the NoMachine service. Restarting the service will only allow me to connect again remotely, but still can’t login with the local account.

Please advise.

Hi merl77,

Can you confirm that you are on a physical session, and if you use nouveau drivers or proprietary ?

If you use proprietary, we suggest to try a different version of these drivers.

Please also tell us the version of the drivers, to allow us to try to reproduce the problem.
