Approved means that it has been inserted into the roadmap as a definite feature (just so you know). It doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be included in the next available release. Recent releases have concentrated on stabilizing the software and improving the overall experience. Now we can dedicate more time to some of the missing features such as locking the screen. We understand that it’s important to many of our users (many have requested it). Rest assured it’s among those at the top of our list 🙂
BritgirlKeymasterCan you download the latest update and let us know if you are still experiencing the same problem? If so, server logs would be useful. Currently, we aren’t aware of any specific issues with Linux Mint.
BritgirlKeymasterCan you send us screenshots in which you highlight what it is you want to change/remove? If you don’t want to attach them here, you can also send them to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com.
BritgirlKeymasterHi, we’ve reproduced this and a Trouble Report has been opened: https://www.nomachine.com/TR05L04413
We also have a patch available if you are interested in testing it. If so, can you contact us via the website for further instructions? 🙂
BritgirlKeymasterThere is currently a bug in profiles which won’t let you correctly disable access to the node:
User can connect to a remote node even if access to that host is disabled by profile rules
http://www.nomachine.com/TR05L04399Once this bug is fixed the correct procedure will be to create user profile rules to forbid connections to specific Enterprise Desktops:
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver –ruleadd –class node –type <node:port> –value no –user <username>where <node:port> is the name of the node as displayed by the nxserver –nodelist
Because of TR05L04399, a solution is to use the redirect capabilities instead of profile rules. You can use the following command to redirect connections from the cloud server to the enterprise desktop based on the users:/usr/NX/bin/nxserver –useredit <username> –redirect <node:port>
where <node:port> is the name of the node as displayed by the ‘nxserver –nodelist ‘ command.
Redirection can be set also on-per client IP basis:
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver –hostadd <clientIP> –redirect <node:port>
Pre-requisite is that the user has a system account on the Cloud server host and on the Enterprise Desktop host. The username has to be the same. First of all add each Enterprise Desktop as a node of the Cloud server by running the following command from a console on the server host:
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver –nodeadd <IP of the Enterprise Desktop>
You can gather information on the node by running:
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver –nodelist
All the Enterprise Desktop you added will be seen by all users connected to the Cloud Server. Users will be able to choose which Windows desktop to join.
BritgirlKeymasterCan you please send server side logs to us?
%PROGRAMDATA%\NoMachine\var\log on Windows Vista, 7 and 8.
Please compress this folder and send to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com.
BritgirlKeymasterDid you accept to reboot your Windows as requested by the NoMachine installer? If not, try rebooting your machine now.
BritgirlKeymasterThe free version of NoMachine provides one connection to the remote physical desktop. Two users cannot access that desktop at the same time from remote.
See here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00716 and https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00700
BritgirlKeymasterNoMachine doesn’t currently support virtual sessions on Mac. On Linux, yes. There are things that are trivial to do on Linux that are not as easy on OSX, especially when you are dealing with an OS where what you can do and what you cannot do is written in the EULA.
BritgirlKeymasterFrom your Android tablet, once you’ve installed NoMachine, you can connect to any computer which has NoMachine installed: Mac, Windows or Linux are currently the platforms that we support. Currently, there is no server version for Android. If our documentation is misleading, we will make the necessary improvements.
BritgirlKeymasterYes, it does matter. My apologies, I completely missed that you had submitted this request to the Mac forum. My answer wrongly assumed you were connecting to Linux.
Can you give us more details about the sandbox you created? Also, are you trying to start the desktop via fast-user switch or are you already logged on?BritgirlKeymasterHi Jim, you can achieve your goal with help of NoMachine for Linux package installed on your Ubuntu and NoMachine for Windows
package on your Windows computer.If your Ubuntu machine doesn’t have X running please remember to check our instructions for headless servers available at:
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00710
Can you provide more details about what you had problems with? You say you tried installing without success. It would be useful to know what difficulties you had so we can evaluate what improvements are required.
BritgirlKeymasterIt sounds like you need to change the display of the X server which is shared by NoMachine. If you want to set a different display (the x server owned by your sandbox), change the node.cfg key: #DisplayDefault :0 by replacing the ’0′ with the correct number. Not sure if you’ve seen this:

BritgirlKeymasterBrannon, we will need logs from both the Windows client (when connecting to the Linux server), and then server side. Follow the instructions here (make sure they are the logs of the affected session 😉 ) https://www.nomachine.com/AR07K00677
I also suggest an update to 4.2.21 before trying to reproduce and sending logs. You can attach them here or submit to issues[at]nomachine[dot]com.
BritgirlKeymaster@S.Hermann can you update your software versions to the latest release?
