Welcome to the NX page

This page is where CHG'ers go to learn about connecting to CHG machines through NX (nomachine).

Intro to NX

NX Distributed Computing Architecture is a suite of technologies and commercial tools, designed to make network computing as easy and widespread as browsing the web. It consists of a thin layer of server software that enables any Unix computer to work as a terminal server. Clients are also available for a wide range of platforms and operating systems. NoMachine has chosen to build the foundations of its NX Distributed Computing Architecture on the well known and widely used X-Window System - the windowing system that's behind the Graphical User Interfaces of Linux and the Unix Operating System.

Troubleshooting NX

Error: NoMachine service not available on [server]

It may be that the your NX client key needs to be updated.

1. Obtain the latest key from a sysadmin type.
2. Replace the current key with the new key by either copying and pasting it or pointing NX to the new file containing the key.
   • The setting's location will vary depending your NX version and platform, but it is usually in the login settings panel.
