Connecting to Manjaro Gnome

[riso]

Hi,

I am currently trying out NoMachine Workstation for Linux.
I am trying to connect to Manjaro Gnome using virtual desktop. My machine has Gnome DE. And I am using nvidia gpu.

When I try to connect to custom session I get Cannot run /etc/X11/Xsession default error.
When I try to create new virtual desktop I get Session negotiation failed error.

in node.cfg I have:

DefaultDesktopCommand “/etc/gdm/Xsession ‘gnome-session –session=gnome'”
AvailableSessionTypes unix-remote,unix-console,unix-default,unix-application,physical-desktop,shadow,unix-xsession-default,unix-gnome,windows,vnc

grep ^Exec /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop

Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session

ls /usr/share/xsessions

gnome-classic.desktop  gnome.desktop  gnome-xorg.desktop  remmina-gnome.desktop

[log extracted & attached]

Hello,
this is a known issue:

Cannot start a virtual session on Arch Linux
https://www.nomachine.com/TR10P08907

Please use the ‘notify me’ checkbox to receive notification of when a patch has been officially released.

As a workaround:

1. Create a backup of nx PAM configuration (sudo cp -a /etc/pam.d/nx /etc/pam.d/nx.original). Then change /etc/pam.d/nx in this way:

auth       include       system-login
account    include       system-login
password   include       system-login
session    include       system-login

2. Change DefaultDesktopCommand in /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg
DefaultDesktopCommand "/etc/gdm/Xsession 'env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/id -u/bus gnome-session'"

3. Restart NoMachine:
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --restart

I have tried the workaround and the results are the same.

There was a mistake in the formatting of the command. Apologies. Try this and let us know if it helps:

DefaultDesktopCommand "/etc/gdm/Xsession 'env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/$(id -u)/bus gnome-session'"

 

The only other option is to wait for the fix.
