I have NoMachine Workstation (licensed) running inside a Docker container (running as a privileged container). Inside the container, I have Ubuntu 18.04. No settings were changed from a stock install of NoMachine Workstation, as downloaded yesterday. With Windows, I am able to connect and everything (except audio) works fine. The node session log with Windows shows the following:

When someone connects using a Mac however, we are getting a session log as follows:

I am not able to find any other information in the logs that would be relevant to debugging this. It seems to be somehow something on the remote side that is triggering this. The only thing I can suspect is that something about the audio setup is triggering a problem on the mac side, but doesn’t cause a problem on the Windows side.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Hi, so everything is working fine when connecting from Windows, but not from Mac. From what you copied from the logs it’s not possible to say what the cause is of not being able to reconnect.
Did you follow the instructions for setting up Docker first?
https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00161If you’re using a subscription of Workstation, have you considered opening a support enquiry in your customer area from where you downloaded the software? They’d also need to see logs.
I haven’t opened a ticket yet, I was looking for any obvious issues first. I worked through the docker stuff, but it doesn’t exactly apply to our situation, so it isn’t quite as documented. That said, since it works for Windows, I wouldn’t expect that it would break on a Mac. The most notable part of the logs is this:
Info: The session was closed before reaching an usable state.Info: This can be due to the remote display refusing access to the client.This to me says that there is something going on with the client side that may be impacting the display of the application. I don’t have a Mac to test this with, this is one of the users having the issue, but was hoping someone else had encountered this and resolved it. Google didn’t help with this one. 🙁
Update: The issue only appears to happen when using floating windows on Mac. If a full desktop is used, then the problem goes away. This is also in the context of using SSH as the protocol, not the NX protocol, so this may also be related. As the desktop works, and we have few mac users, this effectively resolves our issue.
Thanks for the update. Probably you need to install XQuartz on the Mac client host. Start the X11 application under the Utilities folder and it will point you to the download page.
Should it not work, something else is going bad on the Mac client side. If you cannot get the client log, would you provide more info about that? I’ll try to reproduce on my own. I’d need to know:
- The Mac OS version
- If problem occurs with some specific application run in floating window mode
