Second session with other window manager

[cmueli]

Hi,

I am using NoMachine 8.13.1_1 for Linux to access my office workstation (2 Monitors, KDE Plasma) remotely. For some reasons, I would like to not enter the local “physical desktop”, but rather start a new session with another window manager (LXDE) when I work remotely.

The reason is that I would like to have a more ‘lightweight’ environment (one monitor, less window manager options) when working remotely. I am used to work with [removed], but now would like to try NoMachine instead.

Another thing that puzzles me is that ssh access does not work with the NM client, although is seems to be activated in the NM server config. SSH login is possible from a terminal using my standard rsa key (I would like to do this with NM as well instead of typing my password for each new session).

Anyone here who is working with such a configuration ?

Cheers

Christian

These are features of the NoMachine Terminal Server family of products. I suggest you take a look at the Workstation and check whether that satisfies your requirements. You can download it as evaluation software from the website here:

More information about how the two products are different is available here:
