    Been following https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/desktop-is-not-shared/page/2

    But despite all (a) no login desktops (b) server status greyed “Desktop not shared”

    sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --subscription

    By default, connections to the physical desktop are enabled but restricted to system administrators, NoMachine administrators and trusted users. To assign the ‘trusted’ flag to an existent user, execute:
    /etc/NX/nxserver --useredit USERNAME> --trusted physical. More information about this is in the Workstation Guide: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT11R00174, chapter 12.4.

    Just to make sure that it is the Workstation installed, please run the following in a terminal on the Linux host where you installed the package:

    sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --version

    and also --status which checks that the nxserver is running or not.

    I realised I had written the wrong command and then edited my answer, but not before you saw my initial reply. Please tell me the output of sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --version

    Is the user an administrator or trusted user? You can check with --userlist. If not you can try adding them as I suggested earlier. Does this change anything?

    So something is not right. Tell me what Linux distribution you’ve installed Workstation on and what version of the distro.
    Then we’ll need to take a look at your debug logs:

    On the problematic host:

    nxserver --debug --enable all 
    nxserver --restart 
    nxserver --debug --collect
    nxserver --debug --disable all

    The log archive is named as: NoMachine-log-.zip (e.g. NoMachine-log-2018.09.27-11.44.01.zip) and stored in: /usr/NX/var/log/archives on Linux.

    For the record, the affected Workstation host details:

    NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"
    # VERSION="20220213"
    ID="opensuse-tumbleweed"
    ID_LIKE="opensuse suse"

    Logs show that you have an incomplete installation. There is no local node present, so there is no local session to share. I recommend a complete uninstall, remove traces and reinstall.

    # rm -rf /usr/NX /etc/NX /var/NX

    and remove the .nx folder from the home directory

    Sorry! I neglected

    dvr@dvrTW:~> sudo rm -fr /usr/NX/
    dvr@dvrTW:~> sudo rm -fr /etc/NX/
    dvr@dvrTW:~> sudo rm -fr /var/NX/

    after which it *does* work. Thanks!

    Speculation:

    Since I installed on a new linux-install the only thing I can see: I installed the free version first, removed it and installed the licensed version.

    Uninstall the free version did not rm /usr/etc/var/NX

    Uninstalling the software does not remove the user’s home in case you want to save some configuration or connection files. Those can be removed by hand. If you uninstall Workstation it’s also the same.
