There are derivatives based on core NX libraries like FreeNX and X2Go. Until version 3.x, NoMachine was known as NX and available under GPL. I’m confident I could install the XF86 dummy driver or buy an HDMI dummy plug and trick the computer into thinking there’s a hardware display connected, which would solve this problem, but it’s my understanding that I shouldn’t have to do this, because NoMachine is designed to work without a physical display connected.NoMachine enables you to access a graphical desktop of a computer over the network. However, I’m pretty sure it never even gets to the point where the XFCE command syntax even matters, since it doesn’t start Xorg, and LightDM fails to come up properly. I’m using these instructions as a base, though I have modified them to call the XFCE start command I normally use:įollowing another tech support document I found, I also added the following to the node.cfg and sever.cfg files:ĪvailableSessionTypes unix-remote,unix-console,unix-default,unix-application,physical-desktop,shadow,unix-xsession-default (LightDM and Xorg’s logs both indicate no display or “screen” is detected. It’s not working, as even though the nxserver comes up without an issue, no hardware display is detected, so the Xorg sever never starts. I’m now trying to get it to work with no monitor attached, in headless mode.

I’ve been using NoMachine to remotely log into my Raspberry Pi running Manjaro Linux with LightDM+XFCE (64-bit), with a monitor attached. Client: N/A (Xorg server fails to start correctly, client cannot connect).Server: 5.10.9-1-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 21 15:45: aarch64 GNU/Linux (64-bit Manjaro XFCE for Raspberry Pi 4b).

Info: NoMachine 7.1.3-1 – Free Version (ArchLinux/Manjaro AUR).
