NX service instantly stops

[bunnicus]

Hi,

New to NoMachine. Both systems are running openSUSE Tumbleweed, my client is running the Enterprise client from Flatpak and my server is running the tarball from the website. Both machines are on version 9.0.188.

Whenever I install NoMachine on the server, I get systemd errors. The service file copies into /usr/lib/systemd/system fine, but fails to start. The error stems from selinux, and I’m able to circumvent it by running sudo chcon -t systemd_unit_file_t /usr/lib/systemd/system/nxserver.system. After that the service file becomes visible to systemd, but trying to start it fails. sudo systemctl start nxserver returns no output, but systemctl status nxserver reveals that it fails to start. Systemd doesn’t give me much insight, but if I try to run /usr/NX/nxserver --daemon (the command that the service file tries to run), I get: 500 ERROR: Invalid command: 'daemon'. Commands /usr/NX/nxserver --restart and --start hang for a while, then end up returning that all of the services have been disabled.

This behavior is reflected in the NoMachine GUI, as when I try to start the NX service, the status briefly changes to Starting before changing back to Not running.

I have rebooted both systems, and my server’s firewall is configured to allow port 4000 via TCP and UDP. Any help would be appreciated!
