Arch Linux User Repository

Since nomachine 7.1.3-2 the default behavior of the package is StartNXDaemon Manual and FirewallConfiguration 0 on a new installation, if you want to change this, you need to modify PKGBUILD build options with your desire behavior:

BUILD OPTIONS

Set to y to enable nomachine service autostart

_autoservice=n

Set to y to enable firewall autorules

_autofirewall=n

END BUILD OPTIONS

nxd service does not start by default so its impossible to connect remotely until this is started. (nxd is the service that listens on port 4000).

workaround command from https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/nxd-does-not-start-from-systemd-but-does-from-nxserver-restart-2 :

"sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --startmode nxd automatic"

For anyone having issues with pulseaudio not starting with NoMachine 9.2 or newer take a look at https://kb.nomachine.com/TR11W11619

In case anyone can't follow the link this is what it says to do:

As a temporary solution, disable EGL support in NoMachine by executing in a terminal:

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --eglcapture no

Then re-login to the Linux host or reboot the Linux machine

sudo systemctl restart display-manager

For people encountering no sound in NoMachine after upgrade to pulseaudio 17.0, Pulseaudio needs to be rebuild to add the module-esound-sink. Validated under Englightment, do the following things:

1. Download (git clone) the latest PKGBUILD forom https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pulseaudio/

2. In the PKGBUILD directory, execute makepkg -o

3. cd src/pulseaudio/src/modules

4. nano meson.build, uncomment "module-esound-sink" and possible "module-filter-apply"

5. cd ../../

6. execute meson setup build

7. go back to the PKGBUILD directory and makepkg -e

8. install all generated packges.

For those interested here is a patch file for 8.16.1, and it still does not work with KDE Plasma

Version 8.16.1 is currently available on the official website, but this package is stuck on 8.14.2.

Here is a patch file for 8.15.3 if anyone is interested. Also this version still does not work on KDE Plasma Wayland.

Still out of date.

Does audio passthrough work for anybody here? I use KDE + X11, and it doesn't for me.

@galvez_65 had to test it because i'm having a very weird bug with kde in x11 and one of my monitors (apparently it's monitor related). wanted to test wayland, but considering i'm unable to use nomachine on my desktop (nvidia btw lol) i'll have to keep dealing with the dumb x11 bug. i'll keep an eye here in case you get an answer :)

@mfcmquintela I'm having the same issue white screen and timing out, I opened a ticket on the !M forum. Hopefuly it's something simple.
