Ubuntu + VirtualGL + Gnome

[asharpaev]

Has anybody installed Ubuntu + VirtualGL + Gnome + NoMachine?

I’m getting the blank (black) screen on the client side

Search the system log for any error issued by Gnome: journalctl -b -0 | grep -i gnome.

I can connect to my NoMachine server if I log in local graphical console

$ glxinfo | grep -i “renderer\|vendor”

server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2

so, it’s not using Virtual GL, it looks like a kind of screencast.

it seems I need to run a new session of Gnome (a new virtual desktop). Is it possible in the free version?

Virtual desktops are not available in the free edition of NoMachine. You need a product among the NoMachine Terminal Server family (NoMachine Workstation, for example).

I’ve managed!

I built the docker container with headless VirtualGL Xserver, mounted X-socket file into the main host and restarted NoMachine.

NoMachine + VirtualGL + Gnome work great!

thanks!
