No it’s not a new default feature, it’s been like that since the beginning which makes me think that maybe you are connecting to a desktop with a user account which is NOT the owner of the desktop you want to connect to. The default behaviour, as explained here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR04K00663, is when connecting to the remote desktop of a NoMachine host (server), the server asks for authorization to the remote desktop owner when this owner is different from the user who is requesting to connect. The connecting user must have a system account on the remote machine.
If you need to connect automatically to the remote desktop you have 2 options:
1) Run the connection as the same user who is logged-in to the remote desktop. If the connecting user is also the desktop owner, no authorization is necessary.
2) Configure the server on the remote machine to accept connection requests without asking for desktop owner’s authorization.
If you can confirm that you are doing exactly as stated in option 1) then we need more information:
i) what version of NoMachine on the server and connecting client
ii) what NoMachine product is installed on the server
iii) what OS is on the serverThis is the same issue that is dealt with here: of https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/nomachine-on-centos-centos-desktop-auto-logs-out-then-login-fails
Please follow the above URL.
Do you have any impression of the approx resources needed for a up to 20 people team to use NM terminal server.
This depends on what you you want to do 🙂 What applications are the users going to be running? Some basic guidelines are here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR03L00794
How about the clustering – do we need to buy 2 licenses of it to use it a HV in a cluster mode.
I take it you mean High-Availability. In that case you need Enterprise Server (or Cloud Server if you’re interested in browser-based access). You will need two licenses.
Is it possible to use the NM linux terminal server with the free version of NoMachine client (the idea is that our employees to have the possibility to use their own virtual private desktops mostly for browsing the internet).
The free NoMachine package (both client and server together) can be used to connect to any of the pay-for versions. There are licensing restrictions on the use of the free version within commercial environments (see http://www.nomachine.com/licensing) If you want just a client package (so access to the desktop on which it’s installed won’t be possible) then you can try Enterprise Client.
If you need any more info about pricing, I suggest you contact the Sales Team (Contact Us -> Sales enquiries, they will be happy to answer any questions.
Can you tell us exactly what happens, step by step, after you installed NoMachine?
Which CentOS version is it?
Which Desktop Manager (for example GDM) is it?
Which Desktop Environment (e.g., GNOME) is it?
Have you tried disabling using the GPU ? See Fig.8 in the following doc https://www.nomachine.com/DT11M00107#6 and uncheck the box “Use acceleration for display processing”
You haven’t said what type of session you want to run in NoMachine. Do you want to connect to the physical desktop or are you connecting to a virtual Linux desktop (i.e “virtual desktop session”). Look at Fig. 5 in the following tutorial to understand what I am asking: https://www.nomachine.com/creating-new-virtual-desktop-sessions
To be able to answer we need to understand better 🙂
Do you mean that you want to connect to a NoMachine server at the start up of the local machine e.g the machine from which you are connecting? If so, first we need to know the OS of the connecting client.
We also need to know the type of session. E.g. do you want to connect to the physical desktop or are you connecting to a virtual Linux desktop (i.e “virtual desktop session”)
Double router set ups aren’t currently supported by NoMachine, you need to manually configure them: https://portforward.com/help/doublerouterportforwarding.htm
With the release of NoMachine Network this won’t be necessary. You can read more about this upcoming functionality here: https://www.nomachine.com/FR07J02731 🙂
At the moment it’s not possible for us to solve this in the current version 5 tree. With some changes coming up in version 6 which will add improvements to how USB is handled, it is possible that we can find a fix then.
It’s not possible to limit IPs that can connect directly using NoMachine (free version).
It can be done by configuring SSH (if connection method is SSH only and SSH connections are not available in the free version, only in the enterprise-oriented range).
There are a number of resources on the internet with more details about how to do that in SSH. e.g. https://coderwall.com/p/yz-2_a/limit-ssh-access-by-ip-address
Or you can configure your system firewall to only allow certain connections.
In short, yes.
All traffic, including multimedia is encrypted. You can read more about this here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00705
No need to pack it into another encrypted tunnel.
nxservice is not essential, its responsible for forwarding devices like usb, printers, disks and so on, you can set it to launch manually by going to Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services and on the list look for NoMachine Device Server. Do the following:
– Right click on it
– Properties
– Startup Type
– Click the dropdown menu and change it to ‘Manually’ or choose ‘Disable’
– Click apply and then okRestart the system.
