    I have the new raspberry pi 5 8gb with raspberry os bookworm installed but NoMachine dosnt work with new Pi 5.

    I get this error

    The connection with the server was lost.

    It seems to be due to there being no support for Wayland in NoMachine.

    Since Raspberry Pi OS on the Raspberry Pi 5 uses Wayland instead of X11, that is likely to be the cause.

    On some other places I’ve seen mentions that having XWayland will help, but I’m not sure if that’s an option in this case.

    Hi, we will be adding support for Raspberry 5 in the next release. At the moment there is the following known issue, also reproducible on RPi5. It’s caused by Wayland indeed. The link to the TR is just below,  with the workaround which is to disable Wayland.

    Hi Britgirl, many thanks for the update.

    Does NoMachine development run on a particular cadence, or do you release it when it’s ready? It would be nice to know how long until the next version.

    How often we make a maintenance release generally depends on what tweaks and fixes have been added. It can be once a month or it can be every 2 or 3 months. If you take a look at the Software Updates section, you can see how often we release updates. We are still waiting for the RPi5  devices we ordered, so that’s why we have not officially “added support” yet (i.e we did not add it to the devices in the download section of the website, nor mention it in our latest release announcement). Adding “support for a distro or OS version, or a device” means that we have tried and tested it in our labs 🙂 In the case of RPi boards in general, there is the issue with Wayland, so please use X.org instead.
