Xterm is installed but I’m not sure how to test it can run without issues. I don’t have access to the physical machine. Logs in nxserver.log are the following:

**************
nxserver.log

$ sudo cat /usr/NX/var/log/nxserver.log

The error occurred on August 30th, those file were last modified on the 28th, so it seems nothing was logged there related to the error. I have reproduced the error several times until today, all files in $HOME/.cache/upstart are unchanged. When I try to run a custom session with only the console I get a completely black screen that after a minute or so terminates.

Thanks a lot for the follow up!
$HOME/.xsession-errors is not being modified, modified date is 3 days older than when the error happened, and /var/log/messages doesn’t exist in the machine. /var/log/syslog doesn’t seem to have anything relevant either. Sorry, I’m really out of clues here, I’d really appreciate any help. Bellow are entries from journalctl, and client’s session logs.

Hi,

Looked at those files but all of them have a modified date older than when I last experienced the error with NoMachine. So, I guess no log related to the error is being logged to those files?
