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.

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.
