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

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@runnytu I had a build problem on my end and mistakenly attributed it to the package being out of date.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@Adramyttium, stop marking out of date the package, it is the last version for a while.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.

Thanks for maintaining this, especially the fun task of mapping the paths nomachine uses.. As mentioned, please don't change this as I think it'll randomly break something (either today or in a future release) that would be a PITA to track down.

I've been using nomachine to access my machine remotely (duh?) as I've been away a bit and needed UI for a few things. The free version works great for this simple usecase.

This is great when using Wireguard, makes it super simple.

The config outlined on the wiki work really well for headless (as of June 2023, will keep working as it's pretty stable IMHO), around tweaking the pam.d config for headless.

Is it just me or the nxplayer tray icon has disappeared since the last update?
Had a look at the binaries in /usr/NX/bin but I can't seem to find anything around tray.

If you forgot to edit PKGBUILD, you can fix with one command.

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

@yochananmarqos, the upstream scripts, point to /usr/nx dozens of times in every script without variables, I think is better to leave it in the current location in order to preserve the upstream package integrity.

This should be installed to /opt/, not /usr/. This creates directories like /usr/var/ and /usr/etc/. Please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories
