    Hi, I can’t seem to unlock the settings or do an update of the nxserver. When it prompts for a password none of the password for any of the accounts on my machine work (one AD-linked account, one local admin). I even tried setting a password on the ‘nx’ user then using that but it didn’t work either. I’m running XUbuntu 18.04, everything else seems to work fine. What do I do?

    Try to launch a shell as the local admin and run the command
    sudo -l
    what do you get?

    Results of sudo -l as both myself (first), then local admin:

    Please send $HOME/.nx folder to forum (at) nomachine (dot) com

    Could we send to you a debugging library to be placed in your NoMachine installation?

    Hi, I sent the .nx folder as a zipfile. Yep you can send me a debugging library, thanks a lot.

    Please check your email inbox – we sent you further instructions on how to do further debugging.

    From debug output you need to fix access rights. Use this command:

    chmod 4555 /usr/NX/bin/nxexec
