NX Server error: parameter ‘login’ cannot be empty

[jkary]

Hi Folks,

I’m running Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) in headless mode with the rpm ‘nomachine-7.10.1-1.x86_64’.  I’ve been having trouble connecting and I’m seeing this in the logs:

NXMsg: Sent response message ‘NX> 595 NoMachine server exception: parameter ‘login’ cannot be empty (NXUser::new).’

getParameters: parameter string is ‘–client=”linux” –session=”%%40nxFrameBuffer” –virtualdesktop=”1″ –geometry=”800×600″ –type=”nxFrameBuffer” –foreignAddres=”127.0.0.1″ –render=”1″ –username=”” ‘.

Can anyone tell me how and where to set the username parameter?  Also what should this value be?

 

Thanks

Jason

Try in the server configuration file:

#
# When ‘CreateDisplay’ is enabled, specify the display owner and let
# NoMachine create the new display without querying the user. If the
# server supports only one concurrent connection, the connecting user
# must be the display owner set in this key.
#
#DisplayOwner “”
