The view button is in the upper left corner of the NoMachine connection dialog. The computer name is unfortunately only shown if you choose the option list view with the view button (instead of icon or compact view). I do not see the name of the computer to which I want connect This should bring you to a list of machines, including the physical desktops. In this case hit the 'Back' button in the lower right corner of the NoMachine client. Sometimes you will only see the virtual session icons. I do not see the icons, which allow me to connect to the physical desktops But this will display only running or suspended virtual sessions, that you own. You can select to see only your own running connections by clicking the 'All desktops' button and select 'My Desktops'.

Solution: upgrade to a newer Client Version 6.x. Instead you will only see who is logged in, but you do not see which machine the person is connected to. On some clients the information about the name of the target machine is not always displayed. There are many connection icons - which should I choose ?

Do you have a recent version of the NoMachine client installed (>= version 6.X).

for access to scheduled beamline resources.

Did you check with your PSI local contact that you are actually entitled to connect now ? Tthe access can depend on the date/time, e.g.

Is your local firewall allowing connections to port 4000 (NX protocol) ? If your local or your institutes firewalls blocks such outgoing connections you can try to set up a new connection and choose explicitly the ssh protocol instead of the default NX protocol.

Do you have a valid PSI_account and did you use this for making the connection ? If not, get one (see above).

For physical desktops, this will depend on the configuration settings of the host. For virtual sessions, this requires that the original user acknowledges such a request for desktop sharing. Or you type a search expression in the input field 'Find a user or a desktop'īoth type of desktops allow for desktop sharing by different users, which is useful for collaboration use cases. To avoid this clutter you can click on the 'All desktops' Button and choose 'My desktops' instead. Initially you may see a lot of connections, both active and suspended, from all users who have access to the same hosts than you have. In the NoMachine client, you can choose which desktops to see. Each user has her/his own personal 'virtual' Linux desktop. The virtual desktop functionality allows individual multiple Linux desktops to run independently on the same host.

The session reacts to both mouse and keyboard connected locally and remotely. You 'see' the same displays as the person who sits in front of the physical computer.

Here you connect to a actual machine having a graphic card and connected monitors. NoMachine offers two types of remote connections, physical and virtual desktops.
