Check your inbox Zardoc. I have sent you a link for a debug package with some instructions on what logs to gather.

Hi,

we have checked Ubuntu 18.04 and don’t have any issues, with its default installation, that is. I don’t know if you have changed something or not. Have you tried uninstalling NoMachine and removing the /usr/NX directory before reinstalling? What’s the GUI you are using? Check with:

grep ^Exec /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop

The current version of NoMachine is now 7.8.2.

I’m going to send you a link to download the debug package. You should install the package in the normal way, reproduce the problem, gather logs as you have already done and then send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.

I am not sure if I have understood your set-up.  But if your test set-ups of both the free version of NoMachine and NoMachine Workstation are now working, that’s good news.

Just to clarify that we need the logs from the problematic “older Mac”. We didn’t receive anything so far.

Regarding the request for a refresh button (of what, discovery?) On the player side, the “discovery” of other NoMachine hosts on the network is a process that is always on, in the background, so a refresh button would add very little benefit in terms of time that it currently takes to discover the other NoMachine computers on LAN.

On the server side, you can access the server from !M icon in the system tray. ‘Show server status’ and then “Restart the server”. It’s 2 or 3 clicks. What was your request for “refresh” referring to?

What we need to do is understand why the “old Mac” is no longer publishing itself on the LAN.

Uninstalling the software does not remove the user’s home in case you want to save some configuration or connection files. Those can be removed by hand. If you uninstall Workstation it’s also the same.

We’ll need the logs from the computer you are connecting to (server-side). Please follow the instructions for Windows in the document here: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00182#1

1) enable debug
2) reproduce the problem
3) gather the logs

I’ve pasted some of the content here of that document.

To enable debug on Windows, open a CMD console as administrator and move to the ‘bin’ folder under the NoMachine installation, e.g:

cd %ProgramFiles(x86)%\NoMachine\bin
nxserver --debug --enable all

The log archive is named as: NoMachine-log-<timestamp>.zip (e.g. NoMachine-log-2018.09.27-11.44.01.zip) and stored in: %PROGRAMDATA%/NoMachine/var/log/archives on Windows 10, 8.x, 7 and Vista or in Documents and Settings/All Users/NoMachine/var/log/archives Windows XP.

Please submit them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure to reference the topic’s title. Thanks!

I see two mouse cursors.

Does this happen when you use a specific application or in all activities (desktop, all programs and use)?

Check that the box “Use acceleration for display processing” is not ticked. To do this, on the computer that you are connecting to, go to Server -> Performance -> 4th box must not be flagged.

Hi, I’m not sure whether you saw our last reply. What I advise you to do, if you have not done so already, is update both sides to the latest version 7.8.2 and if you are still seeing the problem, submit the logs again, including the Player side logs. Another option is that we send you a debug version based on 7.8.2 with further instructions.

This is a known issue. The workaround is to change the current active window on your local desktop before going back to the player window.

Logs show that you have an incomplete installation. There is no local node present, so there is no local session to share. I recommend a complete uninstall, remove traces and reinstall.

# rm -rf /usr/NX /etc/NX /var/NX

and remove the .nx folder from the home directory

This is the link to the Trouble Report for this issue which we have also reproduced. You can monitor it to keep track of when a fix has been released.

Yes, provided that each server is enabled to broadcast its IP details to other computers on the same network i.e it must have the “Advertize this computer on the network” box enabled.

Please see the dedicated tutorial here for more information about this:

An additional tidbit, just so you know 🙂 Each Player can also be configured to NOT show other computers on the LAN if you want. Check out chapter 2.4 of the guide here: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00177#2.4.

Can you try rebooting the VM again and also restart nxserver? Please also send us your server.cfg file so we can check its configuration. You can send it direct to us at forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Thanks!
