    Frequently nxnode.bin will segfault when a user logs out of their Gnome desktop and kills the connection before they get presented the gdm login screen again. This puts NoMachine in a state where trying to make a new connection fails and claims there is no display detected (we do the edid trick to make a local display). systemctl restart nxserver.service gets NoMachine to see the local display again, but we are having to do this for several users every day, though not always the same users.

    I won’t be able to attach/email the 10 ~500MB core files it creates.

    I see log files didn’t attach, but a bunch of this:

    Hi,

    We could not reproduce the problem in our labs. Would it be possible to upgrade your system to 7.9 and see if the problem persists?

    We are evaluating 7.9 and seeing if we can update, in the mean time we’ve made gdm restart nxserver on session end, which seems to be lessening the number of issues people are having. However, it doesn’t make for the cleanest experience, just having NoMachine suddenly close once someone logs out instead of being brought back to the login screen.

    Is there any other data I can provide to help look into this, in case we can’t update to 7.9 any time soon?

    We aren’t able to reproduce this on our systems with your same set-up. Can you send us the full backtrace of the crash?

    Instructions are here:

    Using GDB to debug a core file on Linux

    Send it to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. In the subject of your email please use the topic’s title. Thanks!

    Backtraces have been sent.

    Thank you.

    Joseph, we did not receive any attachments from you. Could you send them again?

    Resent. Also sent an email with a zip in case the mail server doesn’t like txt attachments for some reason.

    We got them, thank you!

    The backtraces don’t show enough information to understand why a crash is occurring where it is. Can we send you a debug rpm packages (64bit)? We’re not able to reproduce similar behaviour, so you’ll need to install the debug package and extract the logs. We’ll give you instructions when we send you the link.

    Yeah, perfectly happy to try a debug package.

    I sent you a link via private email, check your inbox 😉

    I’m not seeing the email. Mind sending it again?

    Check again 🙂 (I just resent it)

    Got it. Thanks!
