Cannot successfully open session

[StMartin81]

Hello,

I’m evaluating the NoMachine Workstation and I’m not able to successfully establish a connection. When I have started a physical session on the server it is not listed in the player. When I try to start a new virtual session all I can see is a spinning circle while the player tries to create a connection to a new virtual session. Is it possible that some needed ports are blocked by our company firewall?

Error in nxwebclient.log:

NXWEBCLIENT: Socket::openConnection Connection to port 38328 failed with error number 111: Connection refused

Output from /etc/NX/nxserver –version:
NoMachine Workstation Evaluation – Version 6.2.4

The attachments were perhaps too big and so were refused. Could you send them to forum[@]nomachine[@]com. Thanks!

Next try uploading configuration.

Hi StMartin81,

We can’t reproduce problem in our labs. To investigate this issue further, we would need the logs from server side. Please find the instructions here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163. You can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com

Maybe this feature request is going to solve your problem regarding physical connection:

Extending access to physical desktop to unprivileged users with Linux Terminal Server products

https://www.nomachine.com/FR10P03717

You can get notified when this feature gets implemented by ticking the box.

Hello StMartin81,

please enable logs for nxserver, nxnode and also nxwebplayer. You can do that using
one command:

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –debug –enable all

Then restart nxserver(sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –restart), reproduce problem, collect logs
and please send again. In last logs there are only debug messages from server.

If the physical session is available, it will be on the list for administrators or trusted users only, until
FR mentioned by AMSCAE will be implemented and released.

Hello StMartin81,

Logs indicate that you’re using pam_mount module to mount user’s home directory.
Please, check this article explaining how to solve issues related to NoMachine and pam_mount:

https://www.nomachine.com/AR09N00902&an=pam_mount

Let us know if this solves the problem.

[StMartin81]

Yes, you are right. I had a .pam_mount.conf.xml file in my home directory. Thank you!
