The licenses cannot be stored in another location. However, upgrading /updating the software as per the documentation’s instructions is a safe procedure and does not touch the server.lic files unless users remove the entire .nx directory.
Upon connecting the person sitting in front of the computer you are connecting to should see the mouse being moved. Can you tell us a bit more about your set-up? What Windows version on the client side, what Windows version is on the computer you want to connect to remotely?
This is a functionality supported in, for example, NoMachine Workstation, of the Terminal Server range. Take a look at this page: https://www.nomachine.com/terminal-server.
We aren’t able to reproduce this. By default the sound on the server-side is muted and audio is heard within the session.
Please take a look at https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT10R00167?#6.1 (section on Audio).
Note that pressing mute (Fig. 17) will mute sound in the session. Is this your case?
Can you tell me if the checkbox ‘Mute audio on server’ in Fig 18 is ticked or not?
Hi, Please provide clear steps describing the problem you are encountering.
I’m not sure what you mean by “close out of the service”.
You’ve downloaded the packages from the Arch repository and I don’t know whether those packages are the same as the official ones that you can download from our website, or whether something has been changed. Installing packages from the NoMachine website onto your computers requires admin privileges.
I was never prompted for a password setup or account setup.
In order to access a remote computer using NoMachine you need a system account on that remote computer. You use the credentials of the account (username and password) in the NoMachine login prompt. Are you the administrator of the computer you are accessing or is it managed by someone else?
Hello,
as yet we haven’t made public an exact time frame or date of the release of version 8. It’s currently in its final stages and we’ll publish any news right here in this forum 😉
Try disabling the ‘Use acceleration for display processing’ option in the Server settings -> Performance panel on the Windows machine.
I would like not to have the choice at all, as my machines are actually machines used by my folks who do not care about accidentally selecting the wrong session type. So how do I get rid of the unwanted desktop environments?
You will have to do that at the system level, this is not something you set in NoMachine. For example, https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=151924, or you can just set auto login, again at the system level. The OpenSuse user forums will be the best place to ask that question.
You can modify the server.cfg (/usr/NX/etc/ directory on Linux) to prevent resizes:
PhysicalDesktopMode 1
# 1: Restricted. User connected to the physical desktop can
# interact with the desktop except for resize operations.Try this and let us know.
NoMachine’s cfg files are in /usr/NX/etc/ and notin /etc/NX/server/localhost/server.cfg.
/etc/NX/server/localhost/server.cfg should not be edited by users. Remove the line:
ServerSlaveBase 30000from that file and add it to /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg.
You can find more about the server and node.cfg files here: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/AR02N00877.
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/*.desktopThe 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.
