NoMachine on Centos – Centos desktop auto logs out, then login fails

[powerblue]

Hello,

I am running into a trouble using NoMachine on Centos.

Centos desktop auto logs out, then login fails when trying to log back in.

Any help to solve this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you tell us exactly what happens, step by step, after you installed NoMachine?

Which CentOS version is it?

Which Desktop Manager (for example GDM) is it?

Which Desktop Environment (e.g., GNOME) is it?

I’m connecting to NoMachine running on a Centos vps from NoMachine client running on Mac. I was able to login previously but now after rebooting the Centos vps, when I attempt to login there is an error: “Waiting for the desktop user to authorize your connection”.

Are you logged to the desktop on that machine? If yes – please check if username logged on system is identical as username which is connecting via NoMachine. You can disable authorization on that host to connect without asking. To do it – edit nxserver configuration file on that machine (for example sudo vim /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg) and change line:

#PhysicalDesktopAuthorization 1

to:

PhysicalDesktopAuthorization 0

If you aren’t logged to the desktop – please show the output of command ps -ef on that machine. Please also run debug, restart nxserver (sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --restart) reproduce problem, collect logs and send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com? Instructions about debug and collecting logs you can find there: https://www.nomachine.com/DT07M00098.
