I have NoMachine 7.6.2 configured on a Oracle Linux 8.4 server that I setup last year and had everything working fine connecting from my old laptop. In trying to setup my new laptop to connect to this server, I am using the NoMachine 7.10.1 for macOS Monterrey 12.4 (Intel x64) but I am unable to connect to the server (Error: Cannot connect to the requested session).
On the server, I see that it looks like everything is happy:

I don’t understand what is happening or how to fix it…
It’s difficult to say what’s happening. It’s a virtual machine, I assume. We are not aware of any problems connecting to sessions running on Oracle Linux. We even have an Oracle virtual instance with an older version of NoMachine installed and it works fine. Could something have got messed up with the Linux OS configuration?
What’s not clear is whether attempts to connect to the NoMachine 7.6.2 server are still successful from your old laptop. Can you try connecting with another client device? If you get the same error across different clients, the problem is on the server and not the Player side.
If you’re running Wayland on the Linux virtual server, you should take a look at the tips and suggestions here:
Connecting to a Wayland-based desktop running in a Linux virtual machine
https://kb.nomachine.com/AR04R01083If that doesn’t help, update the NoMachine software and check if the problem persists. If it does, we’ll be happy to check the server-side logs.
> Could something have got messed up with the Linux OS configuration?
Unlikely, as these VMs are provisioned automatically.
> What’s not clear is whether attempts to connect to the NoMachine 7.6.2 server are still successful from your old laptop.
Good question but since I no longer have my old laptop, it’s one I cannot answer.
> Can you try connecting with another client device?
I do not have another client device connected to my company’s network so no.
> If you’re running Wayland on the Linux virtual server
Not applicable.
> If that doesn’t help, update the NoMachine software and check if the problem persists.
I provisioned a brand new VM and installed the latest NoMachine software on it. I get a similar, but different error: “The session negotiation failed. Error: Node was not retrieved”

This is just a warning and is related to the SDK version, which will be updated in version 8.
For the actual error you are receiving “The session negotiation failed: Cannot connect to the requested session”, we will need server-side logs and player logs.

We tried to reproduce similar behaviour on Oracle Linux but without success. For us everything installed and NoMachine worked out-of-the-box (default Oracle Linux).
In the NoMachine logs you sent us there is no indication given as to why the gnome session fails. There could be something in the system logs or userhome/.xsession-errors which you can check yourself?
