Connect to Nomachine Linux Red Hat

When connecting to Nomachine Linux Red Hat, there are a few steps you need to follow. First, make sure you fully logout/close your ICEWM temporary session. If you originally connected with XFCE, you can connect with ICEWM and when prompted, terminate your XFCE session.

If you have issues re-connecting to a previous session and want to terminate it to start fresh, you can do so by connecting with a different Window Manager. In fact, if you find one that's smoother and provides a better user experience, please let us know - we would be happy to share it!

We are still testing various other connection methods, but this has given the smoothest general connection.

To connect, follow these steps:

1. Host: Enter the fully qualified domain name of the connection target.

2. After installing and opening the X2Go Client, create a New Session.

3. Download and install the appropriate x2goclient for your machine (Linux, Mac, Windows) from .

Note that users have to be pre-mapped to a specific port by the root user before they are able to connect due to the limitations with NoMachine & VNC.

We have been testing multiple different alternatives and are currently using X2Go. To ensure this client is what you want to use to reach your target server, make sure to download and install it correctly.

Finally, please be aware that systemctl (root) access is required to run a vnc server (like tigervnc). VNC servers have changed how they function in newer operating systems and are incompatible with multiple users in an EDU environment.
