Thanks for letting us know. Just so other users can easily find how to change the default desktop when launching a NoMachine virtual desktop session, the correct article is:

It’s not a question of missing documentation about multi-touch events, it’s that multi-touch events are not handled at all. As I wrote earlier, we first need to first evaluate how such events are received to be able to send them to the server in order to add support for multi-touch commands. Definitely something to explore further.

When NoMachine prompts you to insert the username and password, you need to insert the credentials of the account of the Windows machine. Remote login to Windows with empty password is forbidden by Windows policies: https://www.nomachine.com/AR05L00802.

But  it is possible to connect without using system password. There are two ways to achieve it.

1. Connect with using private key authentication (https://www.nomachine.com/AR02L00785).

2. Enable NoMachine database. To do it – edit server.cfg as an administrator (in the default it’s located in the %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\NoMachine\etc directory).Uncomment and change the keys to following values:

EnableUserDB 1
EnablePassDB 1

You should submit the logs from the client and server sides (assuming you have access to this machine). This could help us to  understand why you can only get sporadic access.

In order to extract the logs, please see the following article: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163#1.3

You can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure you reference the topic as the subject or within the body of your email.

Thanks!

Users should update to the latest version and report back if they continue to have issues.

Edit – there is a patch available but this did not make the latest release (6.9.2). Users experiencing this issue should contact us.

So, let’s call your two iMacs A and B. You can connect from B to A over the Internet without any issues, but when connecting from A to B, B is never available (i.e. you’ve never successfully connected)?

If that’s the case, it sounds like a WIFI or router issue on the side of the where your iMac ‘B’ is. You can look in the client side logs for this message “‘A connection timeout has occurred while trying to connect to ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxx’ on port ‘4000’. The issue could either be caused by a networking problem, by a firewall or NAT blocking incoming traffic or by a wrong server address. Please verify your configuration and try again.’”

Not at the moment, but we can check how the client receives those events and how to use them on the remote OS in order to see whether adding support for it is possible. It’s certainly not a trivial thing 😉

Are you connecting over LAN or over the internet?

Hi

NoMachine for the Enterprise range allows you to access your remote desktop over the Web.

You need to have installed either Enterprise Desktop or one of the other products in the Enteprise range on the computer you want to access. The free version doesn’t support browser-based connections.

NoMachine tries to support also all of the most popular DE and we don’t prefer one over another 🙂

Installing on any of the lightweight desktops such as XFCE, LXDE or Mate is an out-of-the-box process. For guidelines on bandwidth usage etc, take a look at our article in the KB about benchmarks:  https://www.nomachine.com/AR02P00966. In it we compare KDE vs Gnome classic and XFCE in some typical set-ups.

Please make sure you don’t have old sessions in the log file, it’s important you send us the logs of the attempted session which is affected.  If they are still too big, you can try splitting them up.

Please submit the crash report if you have one. Instructions are here:

Please update to the latest version release a couple of days ago. It contains the patch. Full announcement here: https://www.nomachine.com/SU12Q00208

[Britgirl]

Automatic recording will be possible in an upcoming version. But it won’t be possible in stealth mode.

However, there will be a notification to users whose sessions are going to be automatically recorded.
