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

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

I don't know if this is the right place to ask. But I just got a new m1 Mac running Asahi Linux aarch64. Is there anyway to get Nomachine for this architecture?

Set to y to enable nomachine service autostart
_autoservice=n

The above would be particularly helpful to have as the default. Otherwise, after a reboot you need to enter manually

sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver –restart

Which is annoying.

If you are reading this after the install,

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

is a fix (thanks Britgirl!)

Recently nothing is working... I have been using it for long time.

I have already tried a clean install.

Even if I enable nxserver systemd service or install with _autoservice=n I must enable it manually each time with

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --restart

Moreover I cannot connect to lxqt server

Initially it seems to connect but after the process die

I can connect however from my Android smartphone

@runnytu thank you. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed nxusb!

@runnytu thanks for the explanation
