Raspberry Pi 5 not working with NoMachine

[nannerbm]

Dear All – thank you indeed for your advice . … I think the good news is that there is a work around for the moment … I have followed the advice and NoMachine provides a terrific GUI for a headless RPi 5 for the moment. Thanks for that!

For anyone else wondering, here is how I got NoMachine installed and running on my Pi 5 from the terminal:

1. sudo raspi-config
   1. Advanced Options ->
   2. Wayland ->
   3. X11 ->
   4. OK ->
   5. Finish ->
   6. Yes (to reboot)
2. cd ~/Downloads
3. wget -P ~/Downloads https://download.nomachine.com/download/8.11/Raspberry/nomachine_8.11.3_3_arm64.deb
4. sudo dpkg --purge nomachine
5. sudo dpkg -i nomachine_8.11.3_3_arm64.deb

When step 5 is complete, you should see the NoMachine icon appear in the tray. You can now access your Pi 5 from NoMachine remotely.

Hope this is helpful.
