KeymasterMy error, it’s forum@…….Not forums@…
Britgirl
KeymasterCan you confirm:
1) Ubuntu version
2) NoMachine client version and Windows version (e.g 7 ?)
3) NoMachine server version and product (the name of the package you downloaded will suffice)
Britgirl
KeymasterHello, the logs weren’t attached. Can you send them to forums[at]nomachine[dot]com? Make sure you reference your topic title. Thanks.

KeymasterThe lightweight mode brings benefits to sessions connecting to virtual Linux desktops, and Enterprise Desktop does not support virtual Linux desktops. That product is for access to the physical display. What you need is the Workstation. Please read here for more info about lightweight mode: https://www.nomachine.com/AR02L00779.
I suggest you give Workstation a try. It is most likely what you are looking for. On the client side, it is recommended you install the latest NoMachine Enterprise Client or the free NoMachine package to connect to your server in order to take advantage of the features that version 4 has to offer.
I can’t comment on connecting with earlier clients (e.g 3.x or clients which are not our own). The forums deal entirely with version 4. Questions about NX 3 and earlier can be directed via General Enquiries using the Contact Us link in the footer of the website.

KeymasterThe feature request is unrelated. Rather there is a bug with autoconnecting preventing you from being taken to the desktop. Instead you are being presented with the session list. This is not the correct behaviour and will be fixed in the next release (NoMachine 5). You can sign up to receive notification when it’s been fixed.

KeymasterNP, I will close the topic 😉

KeymasterIn version 3.5.0 ‘shadow session’ referred to both sharing the physical desktop of another user, and sharing the X11 desktop. In version 4 it’s the same concept, but you don’t configure the GUI to run a ‘Shadow’ session. Now most of the session configuration happens at runtime based on information provided by the server after authentication to the server has taken place. This includes the type of session (shadowing of the physical screen or creation of a new virtual desktop), the X client or desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, custom session, etc.), the display resolution, the configured printers and so on.
The free version allows one connection to the desktop. So anyone connecting to the computer from another device will count as one connection. To allow others to connect too, you will need Enterprise Desktop.
Britgirl
KeymasterIf I have understand correctly, you want users which are connecting to the physical desktop (sharing it in other words) in view-only mode.
This is on the server side, so the machine which is hosting the Enterprise Desktop software.Open the Server preferences and check the box ‘Require permission to let the remote users interact with the desktop’. That way they will be in view-only mode when connecting from their Player machines to your Enterprise Desktop host.

KeymasterHi, we sent you an email asking you to upload the 120 MB of server logs. I will send it again.

KeymasterNoMachine software lets you access your remote computer whether it’s Windows, Linux or Mac. You can install it on the physical machine or on a VM. You can install it on your Windows VM already running on your Linux server (you will need a hypervisor to do that), and you will be able to get remote access to that Windows VM.
If you choose one of the products with the terminal server functionality (for Linux) you can run multiple instances of the Linux desktop on the same host.
I suggest you check out the following:

KeymasterThree joined pipes indicates a computer that is being broadcast on your local network: See figure 3 in the tutorial here: https://www.nomachine.com/finding-other-nomachine-computers-on-the-same-network.
If you are the admin of that computer showing up on the network, you can disable the broadcast feature using the same tutorial. If you are not and you don’t want to see broadcast computers on your LAN, you can check the box in the Player settings ‘Don’t show other computers on the network’.
(Player preferences -> Appearance).Britgirl
KeymasterGot them.
Britgirl
KeymasterYou have enabled broadcasting to let other computers discover you on the local network.
There are two ways to disable the ‘Advertize on the network’ feature. Uncheck the box in Fig 1 in the tutorial here:https://www.nomachine.com/finding-other-nomachine-computers-on-the-same-network
Or you can disable it in the server.cfg file on the server host:
# Enable or disable broadcasting the required information to let
# other computers discover this host on the local network.
#
# 1: Enabled. Other computers on the local network can find
# this host machine.
#
# 0: Disabled. This computer cannot be found on the local
# network but it’s still reachable by providing its IP
# or hostname.
#
#EnableNetworkBroadcast 0A restart will be required for it to take effect.

KeymasterI know that issue 1 is a bug: https://www.nomachine.com/TR06M05548. You can sign up to be notified of an official fix.
For the second problem, are the credentials you are using in the browser to log in to NoMachine the same as in Login Window? I.e are you using the same user account? If you are using a different account when you get to the Login Window, disconnect is the correct behaviour. Disabling PhysicalDesktopAuthorization 0 in server configuration file could help.

Keymaster@wagometer, send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Please put the title of your topic in the subject. Thanks.
