ParticipantI’ve hit a brickwall with this configuration: nomachine_7.9.2_1 on 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye
A clean installation of bullseye 2022-04-04 proceeds correctly.
I’ve tried the 64bit (~800Mb) and the 32bit (~2.5Gb) versions of bullseye
I can do ALL the required steps – ‘new’ username (we frown on the username ‘pi’ apparently these days), config the display to remove (or even keep) the black margins, etc etc.
I can assign new hostnames and get asked to reboot… ALL the usual stuff you can do installing an OS onto RPi.
BUT the moment I try to install nomachine armhf onto the OS that has armhf, the install completes, and reboot takes me into a black screen, never to return…
I’ve tried this on an 8Gb RPi4 and a 4Gb RPi4.
SD cards are either Samsung 64Gb or Lexar 32Gb cards.
I’d prefer to believe I’m doing something wrong rather than “it doesn’t work”, but right now, tbh, I think “it doesn’t work”.
I use NoMachine on Windows, Linux and RPi3’s and 4’s, but Bullseye seems to have scuppered it.Any other troubleshooting suggestions ?
Thanks,
Brian

ParticipantAfter backtracking and double checking, I found my mistake.
I needed to download and apply the aarch version of nomachine.
uname -a gave me the following:
Linux goldenpi 5.15.32-v8+ #1538 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 31 19:40:39 BST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux
So aarch64 was the clue that led me to NoMachine for Raspberry ARMv8 DEB
Hope that helps someone else.

KeymasterThanks for letting us know.
Just as a side not for all Raspberry users, you can consult the article in our knowledge base which outlines which packages you should install depending on the architecture of your RPi.
Installation & configuration notes for NoMachine Linux Raspberry Pi packages
https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/AR07N00896Quoting said article: To check what architecture your Raspberry based on, open a terminal on your device and run the uname -m command. Some examples:
armv6l – means that you should useARMv6 packages
armv7l – means that you should use ARMv7 packages
aarch64 – means that you should use ARMv8 packages -
