I simply open each Remote Computer in a Virtual Desktop. I all of whichever computers I am using at any given time comfortably accessed by a single keyboard and mouse - and viewed through a large TV as a monitor.

HOWEVER, you get around htat by zipping whatever you want to transfer and transferring the zipped file.Įverything else is ok. I.e., NOT Folders and NOT several selected files. If you need to transfer files between computers connected through NoMachine, you can transfer individual files, One At A Time, There's one thing that IS IMPORTANT though. I had no problems and I can't remember playing with the Firewall, but if you decide to try NoMachine, I'll watch this thread. The only thing I saw regarding problems with Mint and NoMachine related to the Firewall. I suppose it depends what you need to do with your access. I deliberately tried 'most' of the available VNC offerings, and currenly have two of my Mint computers and a raspberry Pi accessed through NoMachine. I turned to using X2Go which doesn't have those limitations, is quite easy to install on Ubuntu (just add PPA), uses NX 3.x, though it is compatible only with itself.Depending on what OS you are running, NoMachine might certainly be worth a try.Īs mikeflan said, some people have apparently had problems with it. I don't know why official NX Client for Linux has shown Too many authentication failures for nxĪs error, and it took using NX plugin for Remmina to get NX> 536 ERROR: Reached the maximum number of allowed users on this server. $ sudo grep -hR userName /usr/NX/var/db/* | sort | uniq After examining those files it turns out that name of logged user is stored in session-info files there. The nomachine sessions (nxserver) thread on Ubuntu Forums says that server session info is stored at /usr/NX/var/db. The NX Licensing article does not explain how those 2 users are calculated, and it is only implied that it is automatically two users which logged in / used NX server first. According to NoMachine NX - Products Page the free edition of NX server is limited to maximum 2 concurrent connections and maximum 2 users. It turns out that I have hit the limit of NX Free Edition of NoMachine NX Server.
