The old story: How do you put an elephant in a refridgerator. Open the door and put him in. Don’t make complications !

Likewise just install nomachine-workstation and use normally. I messed about with pipewire before just doing!

Thank you.

I have adopted other platforms until it worked.

Did your testing involve NUC running lxqt (every distro I tried)

<sigh> There are many aspects of Ubuntu I don’t like (we decree you shall …) but I installed Lubuntu 23.10 and everything works out the box. (including mouse, screensaver). This version of Lubuntu runs Xorg.

[jamat13]

OK this is bizare but repeated and confirmed:

openSuSE Tumbleweed rpm downloaded, 8.10 free desktop

Screensaver off, display, X server not found

killall lxqt-session

login screen

login black screen

killall lxqt-session

login screen, set plasma-X11

login, works normally

logout

login screen, set lxqt-session

login, normal display, no mouse click

So it looks like

no X-server == no mouse clicks (I see pointer)

lxqt-session == no mouse clicks (I see pointer)

Houston we have a problem …

I have used NoMachine with lxqt on openSuSE many times over the years.

So overwhelmed by Arch linux I reinstalled Tumbleweed. Downloaded the rpm and *nearly same* problem.L
[seagull] /home/jam [332]% sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –restart

jam       3855  3572  0 21:06 pts/1    00:00:00 grep –color=auto X

The difference is that I *can* login to NoMachine x-server.

Please help me find WHY. I will try, but I’m sure plasma desktop will give me the physical display.

I should be clear from above but there is no Wayland.

[jamat13]

I did not mean to imply NoMachine was in anyway defective, I’m exploring and I really appreciate help thanks 🙂

I installed the NoMachine version. I post picture1 saying “No X server …”

I then tried create your own server

Picture2

Puzzling things:

If my *session* is plasma (X11) then NoMachine works normally. (Not only for desktop but login screen too)

I did already do the PKGBUILD edit

This is the Downloaded version

[seagull] /home/jam [511]% !487
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –restart
[sudo] password for root:
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxd.
NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.
NX> 162 Service: nxnode already disabled.
NX> 111 New connections to NoMachine server are enabled.
NX> 161 Enabled service: nxserver.
NX> 162 WARNING: Cannot find X servers running on this machine.
NX> 162 WARNING: A new virtual display will be created on demand.
NX> 161 Enabled service: nxd.

nxnode runs on plasma session not on lxqt session.

Only the first connection said “No Server” all subsequent connects go straight to picture2

I use NoMachine many times daily, If I can’t solve then I’ll change distro.

OK I’ve now confirmed on both test and main machines:

Running plasma X11 operation is normal

Running lxqt main machine: login wheel turns, test machine: good display but mouse <clicks> totally ignored.

[jamat13]

Im using endeverOS which is arch linus.

I found in the forum saying set PKGBUILD

_autoservice=y

This causes nxd to start from systemd and that resolves the problem. It may well be an arch-linux problem so solving it may be a waste of your time 🙁

[jamat13]

I reinstalled High Sierra
I re-installed NoMachine
The problem of File Manager not NoMachine into screen is no longer there
Twas bizarre but no point in wasting time over some strange behaviour

[jamat13]

This is Linux running on imac27. From other machines client display is normal

A day later following a reboot to absolutely make certain that the free product works Workstation works as if there was never an issue- aaargh

[jamat13]

Speculation:

Since I installed on a new linux-install the only thing I can see: I installed the free version first, removed it and installed the licensed version.

Uninstall the free version did not rm /usr/etc/var/NX
