Overall it's much faster than VNC and very simple to set up. However, searching this forum and google turned up lots of conflicting instructions about how to configure things. So in the end I just waded through Nomachine's online documentation and help system. What I wanted was for the connection to a remote machine to be as secure as possible, and more usable than VNC through an ssh tunnel, without having to jump through too many configuration hoops.

but no desktop on client (mac)?

Quote Postby shjrgray » 2007/04/21 16:12:22 Hi all,I'm running CentOS 5 (32 bit), and want to connect using NX from my mac powerbook (10.4.9 PPC) as client. I get as far as being authenticated, but my gnome desktop does not come up. (I can get it with VNC over ssh.) Setting SELinux to permissive made no difference. My question is what do I have to do to get the desktop? I'm stumped. Any help much appreciated!Details:I did a clean install of CentOS 5 (Pentium 4, stable IP address). I followed the steps at http://wiki.centos.org/FreeNX and have it installed, Version 1.5.0-60-SVN OS . I used nxserver to add my non-priv account (lets pretend its "jg") as an nx user and set my nx password for that account.I downloaded the mac client from nomachine (version 2.1.0-17). I set up the client, including desktop=unix, gnome, and all seemed to go well. The client on the mac starts up X11 (unless its already running) and then goes through the connecting ... authenticating ... authentication completed. But it then times out after about a minute, nothing else happens on the client side. During this time, on the remote (CentOS) machine, its clear that something is happening, because "ps -ef | grep nx" gives meroot 5627 3378 0 10:38 ? 00:00:00 sshd: nx [priv] nx 5629 5627 0 10:38 ? 00:00:00 sshd: nx@notty nx 5630 5629 0 10:38 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/nxserver -c /usr/bin/nxservernx 5771 5630 0 10:38 ? 00:00:00 sleep 60jg 5800 5393 0 10:38 pts/1 00:00:00 grep nxAfter it times out, ps returns nothing with 'nx' in it (except the grep).I checked out a couple other things on the web on how to set it up and these did not help (they were very helpful! just not with my problem about the desktop not coming up). E.g.,http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/these typically end by saying "isn't that awesome?!" or "You should now be able to connect to the Server machine and open your desktop from the client. Please see NoMachine Support for more information". But I had no desktop and did not see anything at nomachine about what to do if a desktop does not come up.I presume that the gnome desktop should just come up in an X11 window on the client. I don't get anything new happening, the nx client connection mini-window remains, with the graphic of the client being connected to the server. One possible clue: I have read tha
