Installation doesn’t prompt for password

[jenefa]

Hello All,

I am new to NoMachine. I have ubuntu 12.04 and when I run ‘sudo dpkg -i nomachine xxxx.deb’, the installation doesn’t prompt me for password, but the install completes successfully. When I check, nxserver is not running and i am not able to start it also.

Can some shed some light here. Thanks

Jenefa

Hello Jenefa

You most likely used ‘sudo’ a few commands earlier. Remember that
usually ‘sudo’ doesn’t prompt for password again if you’ve already
entered it. Password prompts depend of your OS configuration.
Are you sure that you use appropriate package for your OS architecture?
Packages ‘amd64’ for 64 bits and packages ‘i386’ for 32 bits.

The right command to install NoMachine Free on Ubuntu x64 is:

sudo dpkg -i nomachine_5.0.53_1_amd64.deb

More about NoMachine’s installation you can find in:

Are you sure that nxserver isn’t running? Do you see NoMachine Monitor
in your system tray? It’s a white-grey icon with ‘!M’ near system’s
clock.
If you don’t see it, could you check OS processes by run this command
in terminal:

ps aux | grep nx
