Yes, that worked! Thanks a heap for helping me figure this out.

The server doesn’t seem to have /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession, so I tried that key in node.cfg but it didn’t work.

I tried all of the options you listed at the end, too. They all resulted in a failure to create a new display, and when I restarted the server I got the “NX> 162 WARNING”s, too. I only tried gnome-session and /user/bin/gnome-session. The other two don’t exist.

That didn’t work either. I’m sending the logs, but I’ll add the comments here, too.
This version was installed over NoMachine 3.5, which I was also having trouble getting to work (though I did use NX extensively a few years ago on this server). Ubuntu was originally installed without a DE (if I remember right, it was a long time ago), and I installed gnome while one of the other server’s users installed fluxbox, I think. I use apt-get for installation.

Thanks for all your help!

I recopied the text you included, too, and no, that didn’t change anything either.

Okay, so I added the line you suggested into node.cfg and restarted the server, and the client seemed to make more progress. However, as I was going through some graphical options for setup, the connection failed with “Error 134: Protocol error.”

I changed the settings in node.cfg back to default (DefaultDesktopCommand “/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession default”) and tried again, and got a different error, which is the same as before “Cannot create a new display, please contact your system administrator”. Now it seems like however I try to reproduce error 134, I can’t get back to it. I thought I was getting closer, but I’m back where I was.

On the server side, when I restart the server after making changes to node.cfg, I am getting these messages:

sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver –restart

NX> 162 Disabled service: nxserver.

NX> 162 Disabled service: nxnode.

NX> 162 Disabled service: nxd.

NX> 161 Enabled service: nxserver.

NX> 162 WARNING: Cannot find X servers running on this machine.

NX> 162 WARNING: A new virtual display will be created on demand.

NX> 161 Enabled service: nxd.

The server is headless, perhaps I should add.

I’m connecting from Windows 7, to Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.
