Seeing two X server when trying to connect

[morshedi]

Hi everyone,

When I try to connect to my linux server through a Windows client, NoMachine shows me two X servers:

“X server on :0” and “X server on :20”

If I connect to the :20 one, it shows me another desktop without a menu bar. It’s like a totally separate desktop. However, the :0 one is my actual desktop.

I would like to shut the :20 completely down on my linux machine. Does anyone know how I can do that?

I guess my problem is mainly linux related, but I could only express it through NoMachine.

Thanks alot,

Ali

Hello

In node configuration file (/usr/NX/etc/node.cfg) there is a key which allows to limit
the physical desktop display available:
#
# Specify the physical display or range of X server displays which are
# made available to NoMachine connections. It is possible to specify a
# single display by display number, e.g. :0, or by port, e.g. 6000.
# Range of displays can be specified as a dash separated list,
# e.g. :0-:7 or, by port number, 6200-6204. By default all displays
# detected as running will be made available for users.
#
#PhysicalDisplays :0

Set it to :0 and you should see only one display available.
Depending on the Linux distribution, after login to Login window
the user’s desktop could start on Display :1 so set a range as :0-:10
could be better on some distros, and on others :0 is enough.
