NoMachine client missing from Applications

[iainhallam]

I’ve just installed NoMachine Enterprise client 5.2.11 after installing the full RPM on a CentOS 7 machine (the client RPM replaced the server when installed), and there’s no icon for the client appearing in the Applications list in Gnome default session. Looking in /usr/share/applications/NoMachine-nxs.desktop, I see the following line:

NoDisplay=true

Is NoMachine client meant to be hiding from menus?

Hello iainhallam

When you installed package nomachine_5.2.11_1_x86_64.rpm you
shouldn’t install nomachine-enterprise-client because nomachine
‘server’ package also includes ‘client’ part. If you need on
your machine only NoMachine client, please just run as root:

/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxplayer --update

This fixes the problem with ‘Applications’ menu entry.

If you need installed server and client parts on your machine,
please remove existing package:

rpm -e nomachine-enterprise-client

and install again:

rpm -i nomachine_5.2.11_1_x86_64.rpm

I realised that I didn’t want the full package, only the client. Thanks for the fix.

Is that a bug in the installer, though? When replacing the server installation, surely it should run the setup?

Yes it’s a bug, it’ll be fixed in a next release.
