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

@Cebtenzzre thanks for posting this, I've had the same issues with nomachine hanging on shutdown as well. Rather than replace the After clause I added dbus.service systemd-logind.service to the end if it so mine now reads:

[Unit]
After = syslog.target network.target network-online.target sshd.service http-daemon.target.service htd.service dbus.service systemd-logind.service

I'm getting same issues as Ataraxy, furthermore it also appears to be setting an environment variable that prints in the terminal every time I try and do anything. This is the error message that is spammed

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/NX/lib/libnxegl.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

I fixed it by exporting a blank LD_PRELOAD, but still no usable nomachine

The nxserver unit hangs at shutdown without this systemd unit override:

# /etc/systemd/system/nxserver.service.d/override.conf
[Unit]
After=dbus.service systemd-logind.service

Is there a good way to automatically add this at install time until this is fixed upstream? I already reported the issue via their online form.

Doesn't pass pacman check that all owned files are installed (even after reinstall):

@lucafs - I can concur, trying to connect wayland to wayland with KDE is broken, I get a white screen and it keeps dropping the connection. Wayland to x11 still works

Looks like it may be a known issue, hopefully the next release will fix it. (https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/blank-white-screen-kde-wayland-amd)

I can't connect with Wayland but I can connect with X11, both in Gnome and KDE. Has anyone else had that problem?

@runnytu I had a build problem on my end and mistakenly attributed it to the package being out of date. I was totally wrong. I apologize.

I've email you another update patch to get to 8.8.1_1 of nomachine.

2.41.0

I've tested it seems to work on both platforms.

@Adramyttium, stop marking out of date the package, it is the last version for a while.

Hello Since 8.5.3 update, I have no more sound through nomachine.
