Hi, to clarify, all Terminal Server products let you run virtual desktops, and they can also give you access to the physical desktop. In your case, Workstation will allow up to 4 virtual desktops. Small Business provides up to 10. Both allow access to the physical display. So swapping for Small Business will simply increase the number of virtual desktops you can run.
I am unable to launch VM’s for a user
By VM I imagine you mean a NoMachine virtual desktop. In the Terminal Sever family the virtual desktop functionality allows individual multiple Linux desktops to run on the same host sharing the same OS, which is different to running virtual machines each with their own operating system 🙂
VirtualGL has been enabled.
Did you follow the instructions here?
How to enable VirtualGL support on Linux in NoMachine v. 6.2 or later
https://www.nomachine.com/AR05P00982It’s important to know that VirtualGL requires access to the display :0 and the reasons for that are explained here:
Why VirtualGL requires access to the display :0
https://www.nomachine.com/AR12K00764You also mention errors. There is a good article with workarounds for trouble-shooting VirtualGL. Does this help?
Troubleshooting problems when enabling VirtualGL support for NoMachine virtual desktops
https://www.nomachine.com/AR04Q01024Hi,
the username and password being requested by NoMachine is your usual system account credentials which you normally use when you want to log in to your desktop locally. For example, if you normally enter your Windows desktop with your account named “Dryros” and a password, you will need to use those credentials in the NoMachine dialog box.
See Step 2 and pictures 7 or 15 here: https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-nomachine
This is an essential step in order to be able to get access to the remote desktop. If you don’t know the account credentials on the computer you are accessing, you won’t be able to authenticate.Hi, check out the following documents to learn more about ‘NX’ services.

You should try the evaluation of Workstation (https://www.nomachine.com/product&p=NoMachine%20Workstation). This lets you create up to 4 virtual desktops on the server host.
@tsher, it seems the logs you sent were not correct. Can you make sure you follow the instructions from Mth carefully and in the article and try sending again?
Do you use dynamic home directory mounting? If so, can you provide some details of how it’s configured? What authentication method do you use when connecting with NoMachine? Can you successfully establish SSH session for domain user to your MacBook?
Providing details of the issues you have had will permit us to carry out investigations in preparation for supporting the final version when it is out of beta. You an submit these in separate topics on the forum or you can submit them via the website via the footer “Contact us” and select developer enquiries.
Please see this topic: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/about-recording-function-format
If you are interested in evaluating the Workstation before purchasing, please contact our sales team via the Contact Us link in the footer 😉
H.264 streaming is more optimized for multimedia content, where X11 Vector Graphics Mode (which is what you prefer) is used for non-video contents like textual elements.
More information about that is here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR02L00779
NoMachine Workstation on Raspberry may be possible. You need to contact our Sales Team 🙂 We didn’t make it available at the time of adding support for RPi initially because the HW couldn’t cope with running up to 4 virtual desktops (which is what the Workstation provides), but now that the HW has improved, it’s worth exploring. Our tests show that RPi3 can run no more than 3 virtual desktop sessions in low resolution, plus 1 physical desktop session. RPi4, on the other hand, is much more powerful and our initial tests are looking very positive 🙂
Please send us the logs for the reported issue. To generate logs, follow the instructions here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163
We’ll need both client and server-side logs.Once you’ve reproduced the problem and extracted the logs, send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com with the topic title as the subject of your email. Thanks!
The display server (or X server) is not the same thing as the desktop environment.
Whilst NoMachine can use its own display server (which is a virtual X server) if it doesn’t find one on the Linux host, it still needs a desktop environment to be able to show you a desktop, so it’s not advisable to uninstall the desktop environment (Gnome, in your case).
There’s a brief description of the difference between the display server and desktop environment: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-desktop-environment-Window-manager-and-display-server-in-GNU-Linux-OS
