    I have a server HP ML350G5 on which I had an installation of NoMachine freenx 3.5.0 and replaced it by version NoMachine-enterprise-server-evaluation_4.0.370_2_i686.rpm.

    It worked okay for 2 days and then suddenly my Desktop got lost.

    With the previous version I used KDE-desktop. Now when i start a NoMachine session, it waits a long time and gives me a gnome-session, with a screensaver of long time ago. There are no icons and no menu-bars. The Desktop locks.

    The main Desktop, Alt-F7 on the console, tries to start but without success. It repositions/restores to a normal char-mode login.

    I uninstalled version 4 with rpm -e and reinstalled version 3 with yum install freenx.

    The problem remains

    I created another user and that works fine.

    Where is the file that is doing this?

    Set the DefaultDesktopCommand key to the same value set already set in CommandStartKDE in the node.cfg. Alternatively,  set the ConnectPolicy key to desktop=1. More about the default desktop in version 4 is here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00725

    The main Desktop, Alt-F7 on the console, tries to start but without success. It repositions/restores to a normal char-mode login.

    The log files will be useful. Send us the $HOME/.xsession-errors and  /var/log/Xorg.0.log files.  Attach them here. Alternatively, send them to issues[at]nomachine.com

    Maybe you misunderstood the problem.

    I installed with rpm the version nx-server 4

    I logged in with nx-client 4 using my profile then i used profile physical screen
    and then it happened

    I lost display for my profile and on the physical(console = alt-F7 for Centos5)

    then
    I reinstalled nx-server 3 and still I had no display for my profile and on the console

    I still had a display for all other users who weren’t tried with nx-server 4

    So, nx-server 4 does something that after a while blocks the display of a desktop

    Block display means: background is still there but no more menus or icons and no input possible

    I joined the files .xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0

    I really hope you can do something because I have this problem with 2 clients, and I’m already blocked for 4 days.

    Thanks for help

    I mention again, that all users who were not using server NoMachine 4 can still login with normal desktop on version 3.5

    Could it be that NoMachine somehow does not release thoroughly running applications when stopped with alt-F4 -> terminate ?

    When the server is rebooted, he says, “The graphical interface was closed 6 times the last 90 seconds, in 2 minutes we will try again on :0”

    The latter text was translated from Dutch, so it will not represent 100% the English text.

    Could you please submit your full set logs to issues[at]nomachine.com as they didn’t attach (perhaps they were too large)?

    I added  xsession-errors, Xorg.0.log again

    and I added var/log/nx/nxserver.log

    I hope you will find something. My client calls me every hour.

     

    Thanks

    I have a server HP ML350G5 on which I had an installation of nomachine freenx 3.5.0

    Do you mean NoMachine Free Edition 3.5.0 or freenx from freenx? I’m asking because they are very different software. I don’t know what freenx may have changed in your environment but for sure NoMachine 4 handles the upgrade from NoMachine 3 in a way that has demonstrated to be quite seamless for most users. Additionally I have really no idea of what NoMachine 4 may have changed in your environment, since NoMachine 4 doesn’t change ANYTHING in the user’s environment, except starting whatever desktop environment you may have configured, pointing it at a different X server. Bug or unintended side effects excluded, of course.

    One can be this:

    There is a TR for this problem:

    https://www.nomachine.com/TR12K04127

    The solution is being released today as part of the 4.1.

    About the machine not starting on the physical X server I don’t have any idea. I suggest you check if the article applies to your case and then try to start the X server on the command line without loading any desktop environment.

    If the X server loads, you can try some simple X clients, like xterm. Post the results here, so that we can start from there.
