This domain issue will be fixed in the next update of NoMachine 5. Here’s the Trouble Report: https://www.nomachine.com/TR08M05944.
Please use the “Notify me” to know when a fix is available.
Everyone, please update to version 5. The TR https://www.nomachine.com/TR07M05813 was fixed in this release.
Try the latest packages of version 5 that we just released and let us know if you’re still having problems. This version has a feature specifically for headless Linux servers https://www.nomachine.com/FR10L02842.
EddieA, you should see something like this once you’ve activated the session menu and clicked Display:
This seems to be a firewall issue. Please check your firewall settings and allow connections for NoMachine’s Network Service nxd, which listens by default on port 4000 (more about ports here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR01L00770).
Please check that the hostname you are using is correct. This error means that the IP address you are trying to connect to is not reachable.
Just a quick note on the fly. NoMachine 5 is now available. Check out the announcement here: https://www.nomachine.com/SU07M00100&sn=
Since we are about to go live with NoMachine 5 (a matter of minutes), why don’t you try this and see if the issue continues. We aren’t aware of on/off problems and disappearing screens, so it has to be investigated further. If it does, submit the logs as recommended.
Are you able to send us the full set of logs? Send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Please consult the instructions here to learn how to enable and locate them: https://www.nomachine.com/DT04M00076. Make sure you reference your topic in the email or subject.
The free NoMachine package is for access to the physical desktop as I already mentioned. So yes, it’s like VNC for the sake of a simple comparison. The products that are oriented to professionals and organizations provide the functionality (virtual Linux desktop sessions) that you are requesting. To clarify better what you can and can’t do with the free NoMachine product, please take a look at the following FAQ (-https://www.nomachine.com/faq):
What is the difference between physical desktop and virtual desktop?
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00700Differences between NoMachine for Linux and NoMachine Workstation for Linux
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00702If you’re looking for Linux terminal server functionality, or in the past you were using NX Free Edition, you need to use the Workstation. The download URL is linked directly from the URL I provided in my earlier post.
Any questions and issues concerning NX 3.5.0 must be directed to the appropriate website channel. In this case, if you’re a customer with a valid subscription, that’s the customer area. If you are using a free product or an expired subscription, please go to the footer of the website, click Contact Us and select General Enquiries.
The forums are entirely dedicated to NoMachine 4 and later. I recommend you try Workstation from the Terminal Server range with version 4 client (Enterprise Client or the free NoMachine package). If your problem persists, we can deal with the investigation appropriately as Graywolf mentioned.
We’re just concluding the last phase of testing, so not long now 🙂 The windows domain problem you mention is no longer an issue in version 5.
What you probably need is the Workstation for Linux. It’s in the Terminal Server range: https://www.nomachine.com/product&p=NoMachine%20Workstation
This will allow you to run your own personal Linux desktop and won’t be visible to others (on the monitor). NoMachine (free) is for connecting to the physical display. With version 5 which is being finalized as I write this it will be possible to blank the screen so passers-by don’t see what’s happening if there is a monitor attached. This might be an option to you if the Workstation isn’t.
