Hi,

NoMachine lets you connect to the physical display on the Windows machine i.e it displays an exact copy of the graphics card’s output. Connecting to a virtual display running on the Windows host is not possible. This is available in the NoMachine for Linux products i.e i) NoMachine Free Edition for Linux allows one connection to the physical display of the Linux machine and in the absence of a physical display, NoMachine can create a virtual one; or ii) in NoMachine Linux Terminal Server products which let multiple users connect to their own individual Linux desktop all running on the same machine.

Hi,

if there were a seamless way to allow for both local and remote shortcuts, we would have already implemented it 😉

What you can do is to use Ctrl+Alt+M to minimize the NoMachine session window when in full-screen. Ctrl+Alt+K is also useful to toggle keyboard grabbing on and off, and Ctrl+Alt+0 to opens the NoMachine session menu instead of the page-peel.

But the video drivers for Radeon came up

Hi, do you mean that you’ve updated the drivers?

Hello, can you confirm which package you’ve installed? The tar.gz is the most appropriate for Arch Linux, and I would remove and install again just to make sure. We checked recently that NoMachine installs and works with Arch Linux, which it does.

Please do the following, where “nomachine-current-installation-file.tar.gz” is the name of the package you installed.

sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver --uninstall 
sudo rm -r /usr/NX/ /etc/NX
sudo tar zxf nomachine-current-installation-file.tar.gz -C /usr
sudo /usr/NX/nxserver --install redhat

Futher reference for Arch can be found here: https://kb.nomachine.com/AR03L00789

A known issue on macOS is the one described here: https://kb.nomachine.com/TR10S10377
It also affects later macOS versions and the workaround is to re-add nxnode in the list of allowed programs in System Preferences -> Screen Recording. A fix for this TR is scheduled for v8.

If the workaround described there doesn’t help, we would need logs from both sides if possible. Please check the instructions here https://kb.nomachine.com/DT11R00182, and submit the logs to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure to use the title of your topic as the subject of your email. Thanks!

Hi 🙂

NoMachine doesn’t yet support Pipewire, this will be added in the next release.

As for reconfiguring audio settings without uninstalling, you can use the command:
sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode --audiosetup

Hi,

The problem appears to be in ESXi and how it doesn’t handle multi-monitors in remote connections, and not in NoMachine. In our tests of remote connections to virtual machines in VMware ESXi environments, the multiple monitors feature is not supported (in VMware).

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vSphere-Discussions/ESXi-6-7-Multiple-Monitors-for-VMs/td-p/2748906

NoMachine connects you to the desktop environment that’s installed on the remote host. That desktop can be a physical one or it can be running in a VM, it doesn’t matter. You will connect to the physical display/monitor running there. In the case of a headless Linux, so no physical monitor attached, NoMachine is able to create a virtual display for you. NoMachine also lets you switch between those displays if it detects multiple displays or monitors available there:

If you also have multi-monitors on the client side, and you need to connect to multiple virtual displays on the server side, you could try NoMachine Workstation which provides the functionality of “NoMachine virtual desktop sessions”.  Read more about this here:

Hi, virtual displays running Windows are not detected by NoMachine. This feature is available for the Linux operating system only.

When connecting to a Windows host/instance where you have installed NoMachine or Enterprise Desktop, you are connecting to its physical desktop, so on the client-side we only mirror the existing desktop with its physical display. If the computer you are connecting to has physical monitors attached, in that case NoMachine detects them and lets you switch between them on the connecting client side (https://www.nomachine.com/switching-the-view-between-multi-monitors-during-a-remote-desktop-session).

Hi,

thanks for taking the time to report this. The GUI preference changes don’t currently support pam_google_authenticator but we will be adding it in one of the next releases. In the meantime you can continue to edit the CFG files as you have already been doing.

Hi, thanks for reporting. We have reproduced this and have opened a Trouble Report.

Do you know why the App store version doesn’t work?

The app is for iPad and iOS only. We will disable the download of the app on to macOS desktop to avoid confusion between which software to download.

Hi

Have virtual Linux box (ubuntu 20.04) with NX running. If I log in at the virtual console, I can connect by NX and am connected to the console desktop. However, if the start screen is visible, I can’t gain access to NX even though it’s running as a service and, as far as I can tell, should allow authenticated login.

Please see this topic which looks similar to your issue.

how can I have multiple people login…I need workstation and that would allow for independent users to login.

Correct, you need Workstation for Linux or one of the other products in the Linux Terminal Server suite. Check out this article: https://kb.nomachine.com/AR10K00702

“Workstation allows you to run up to 4 virtual desktops (including custom sessions/single applications) on a Linux host. These virtual desktops are replicas of the operating system residing on the host e.g. Ubuntu. Each virtual desktop is separate from the physical OS, and each other.”

 

the remote machine running  with multiple monitors and having the client machine make them available for use.

If you have multi-monitors on the server side and are connecting to the physical desktop, you will be able to switch between the available monitors on the client side using the multi-monitor switch. I’m not sure if this answers your question 🙂

So you have the Small Business Server v7 installed on the computer you want to connect to? From your Windows client, when you open NoMachine, can you see the Small Business Server machine in the Machines panel?

Please submit screenshots or describe the steps you are taking to connect from your Windows client to the NoMachine server via LAN.

From the logs it appears that the agent (nxnode) is hanging. We would need more information.

Can you find the nxnode pid and run this command in a terminal:

sudo gdb -batch -ex “thr apply all bt” -p <nxnode_pid>

Then show us the whole output. If you have more than one nxnode process running, repeat for each nxnode.
Thanks.

The next update for the NoMachine Mobile app, to be released after we have released version 8 for desktop, will be based on the new APIs provided by the most recent iPad versions which will mean full support for mouse devices connected to the iPad. As a temporary workaround,  you could use touch gesture to perform the right mouse click and the mouse scroll.
