NX on Ubuntu Server 16.04: Cannot create a new display…

[jesaremi]

I am running NX server on a Ubuntu Server 16.04 (no desktop)

I have also downloaded the Enterprise client for Windows

However upon establishing a new connection I get this error message:

Cannot create a new display, please contact your system administrator

Does NX work on a Ubuntu Server?

Hello,

you mention you don’t have a desktop. Are you referring to not having a desktop environment installed? Having one is pre-requisite to using NoMachine.

If you do have a DE installed, which desktop environment is it? The error mentioned above may indicate that command for start desktop is incorrect. You should edit /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg as root and change DefaultDesktopCommand (uncomment if commented) value to – for example “/usr/bin/mate-session” if you have MATE installed.

If you are using the Workstation, more information how to run specific desktop environment you can find there: https://www.nomachine.com/AR04K00667.

if it doesn’t help please send logs to: forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
