I installed the Free version of Machine (Version 8.10.1) on a Mac OS 13.6. The installation was done from an admin user account.
When starting the application, the nxserver will not start. I have tried to start it from the GUI (Server Settings >> Ports>> Configure>>Start.
I have tried to start it via terminal:
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –startup
% ./nxserver –status
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxnode.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxd.

I only posted the error from the install log. I am having a hard time figuring out what the issue is.
December 11, 2023 at 19:07 #46291BritgirlKeymasterCould it be a permissions problem? Can you try removing NoMachine from Accessibility and Screenrecording lists and then restarting NoMachine (you can do it from terminal with
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --restart
) and follow the prompts that should direct you to enabling both permissions? -
