Server on Ubuntu 17.10

[Boredom]

Hello,

I am running the NoMachine server on Ubuntu 17.10 (real) desktop I am seeing issues similar to
https://www.nomachine.com/TR05O07765, but since I’m not using KUbuntu, (I think 17.10 has moved back to Gnome from Unity) I don’t believe the fix will work for me. To be clear, I get a message of

Cannot detect any display running. Do you want NoMachine to create a new display and proceed to connect to the desktop?

and when I click Yes, the resulting screen is completely black.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Boredom

It’s related with Wayland.

Try tip added by Britgirl https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/not-able-to-launch-system-tools-fedora-26#post-15336. Disable Wayland in the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf:

WaylandEnable=false

That fixed it, thanks.
