NoMachine won’t run on Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome metacity?

[ajrobson]

Trying to install latest version on Ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit) Gnome metacity.

It seems to install (64 bit) but does not appear in the Applications menu. I switched desktop to default Unity and could not find by searching.

It seems to have been installed as there are plenty of files under /usr/NX/bin but am not sure how to run from command line to look for errors.

Do I need to switch to LightDM?

Any help at this point would be great as I need this to work.

 

Thanks

Hi.

Our tests show that NoMachine installs fine, and we checked again just to make sure.

Did you happen to see any Warnings or Errors during installation? Any errors during installation would appear in the /usr/NX/var/log/nxinstall.log (nxupdate.log if that was update).

If you send us the logs, we can check for you. Send it to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com, attach there also output following commands:

cat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/NoMachine-dir.menu
cat /usr/share/applications/NoMachine-base-unity.desktop
cat /usr/share/applications/NoMachine-status-unity.desktop
ls -l /usr/share/applications/NoMachine*
