Yes, I could NoMachine into the ‘problem’ one, but if I sat at the problem one and hit the NoMachine icon in the Panel it would bring up the NoMachine page correctly identifying the other machines available. However if I selected any of them and clicked on the ‘connect’ button the display would blank out and a few seconds later the Mint log-on screen would come up just as if I’d rebooted.
However the matter is now moot. On Monday I couldn’t boot into Mint at all – the logon page was totally unresponsive to the keyboard although the mouse worked so I scrapped the Linux installation and installed Windows 10 instead, and NoMachine is behaving perfectly well on that. So I suspect there was some underlying fault with the Mint installation NoMachine was calling. However we’ll never know.
Thanks Cato. I uninstalled NM as suggested and re-installed it from scratch, and it’s working well now so I don’t know what had happened to the original installation. There are no SAMPLE files in the etc. folder in the new installation so I’ve no idea where the ones in the original install came from.
I’ve just been playing Edith Finch from my PC (Windows 7) to my laptop (Mint Cinnamon) over my LAN and it’s perfectly playable – graphics, audio and mouse response. If it’s as good with the old Myst games I want to work my way through again soon I shall be quite content.
