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/NXand 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.
The drag operation to download a file from Ubuntu 20 doesn’t work
https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/TR02T10479Yes, 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:
https://www.nomachine.com/finding-other-nomachine-computers-on-the-same-networkAn 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!
For the record, the affected Workstation host details:
NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20220213" ID="opensuse-tumbleweed" ID_LIKE="opensuse suse" VERSION_ID="20220213" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"Hi Jalberto,
can you send those files that didn’t attach directly to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com? Please use the topic’s title as the subject of your email. At this point you should also send us the NoMachine logs from the computer you are connecting to. Please read the instructions here: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00182
Thanks!
So something is not right. Tell me what Linux distribution you’ve installed Workstation on and what version of the distro.
Then we’ll need to take a look at your debug logs:On the problematic host:
nxserver --debug --enable all nxserver --restart nxserver --debug --collect nxserver --debug --disable allThe log archive is named as: NoMachine-log-
.zip (e.g. NoMachine-log-2018.09.27-11.44.01.zip) and stored in: /usr/NX/var/log/archives on Linux. Further reference: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00182
Send directly to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com using the topic’s title as the subject of your email. Thanks!
Is the user an administrator or trusted user? You can check with
--userlist. If not you can try adding them as I suggested earlier. Does this change anything?I realised I had written the wrong command and then edited my answer, but not before you saw my initial reply. Please tell me the output of
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --versionwhat was the output of
whereis "libpam.so.0"? It’s not clear if you still have version 14.2 or 15 of Slackware installed. Are you still not able to connect?By default, connections to the physical desktop are enabled but restricted to system administrators, NoMachine administrators and trusted users. To assign the ‘trusted’ flag to an existent user, execute:
/etc/NX/nxserver --useredit USERNAME> --trusted physical. More information about this is in the Workstation Guide: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00174, chapter 12.4.Just to make sure that it is the Workstation installed, please run the following in a terminal on the Linux host where you installed the package:
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --versionand also
--statuswhich checks that the nxserver is running or not.Did you install the license key that you received via email into your Workstation installation? If so, which from the three options did you select in this article:

1. I don’t like the idea to provide admin credentials to a unknown application.
NoMachine asks for credentials in order to execute operations (update in this case) which require admin privileges, the same ones that are required for when you install. These credentials are used ONLY for executing the authentication being requested by the system and there are not saved in any way, not even temporarily. You can also skip automatic updates and update with downloading the latest version directly in the terminal, but you would still need to pass the admin password in the terminal.
2. I now did setup a VM (openSuse, KDE) for a test, entered credentials, and finally nothing happened
Do you mean that after the dialog requesting admin credentials to allow the system to update, nothing else appears?
3. so again the question: what should happen ?
We integrate with the system to access its authentication layer and use its graphical interfaces, but sometimes a configuration or a distribution property could require to show the authentication dialog within the NoMachine software update window. In this example of what you should see we’re updating NoMachine on Ubuntu (see attached images). You’ll notice a different dialog asking for password, due to the system integration explained above. You could install ‘zenity’ and see the same sequence of dialogs.
4. do you plan to provide signed RPMs in the future ?
It’s not in our plans at this time.
5. do you plan to provide YUM repos for RPM based distributions ?
It’s not in our plans at this time.
If the patched package solves the problem and the connection problems you were experiencing are no longer there (I doubt these were caused by the package), then logs are no longer necessary.
Regarding the screen blanking on Wayland, D-Bus and PipeWire must be present and properly working on the system. You should follow the tips and instructions here:
