When you run the program just ssh from within one of it's windows: Off-campus then NX Client is vastly superior. Winter 2016 - If you are using a newer version of MobaXterm - then configure your setup to use NoMachine login and not "system login"Īs well use SSH protocol and not the NX protocol.Īs of summer 2013 we've found that MobaXterm is much easier to setupĪnd performs equally well for on-campus users. Nexus users can find the client here: Q:\eng\ece\thinlinc490\tlclient.exe MobaXterm In contrast NoMachine is licensed and supports We do not have a licensed server we are limited to 10 connections. NoMachine NX Client Setup NOTE: Please use ThinLinc or MobaXterm if possible! ThinLincĪs of Summer 2014 we setup a free ThinLinc server on and A client can be downloaded from To do this login with SSH via Putty (or similar) and in your home directory type '/bin/rm -rf. If the session starts and immediately ends (perhaps after flashing a working window) with a 'The connection to the server was lost' you may need to clear your NX settings on Knot. Note: If you are using Windows Vista or 7 and having trouble with a busy CPU on your desktop/laptop, try disabling the DirectDraw feature: You can 'suspend' the session to come back to exactly where you were another time, but if you're done - please Terminate instead (use 'Tab' key to go between Terminate and Suspend), otherwise you consume resources on the servers by leaving these zombie sessions. When you are done, terminate the connection (by clicking on the red X in the upper right corner). Please use this for development though - running MatLab jobs (and the like) should be done in the queue! Emacs, MatLAb, etc.) - or it will open a terminal, where you simply type 'Matlab' or whatever GUI you want to open. Then it will open a Linux desktop for you, where you can do graphical work (e.g. MatLab) pick the create custom session where you simply enter '/usr/bin/xterm' in the line for Command to Run - and be sure to check the save box If you want a full desktop session, pick 'create a new GNOME session' - but for a faster connection, especially if you already know what you want to do (e.g. When you connect you'll get a box asking for create a new desktop or custom session - click on that (unless you have one saved). ) - the 'port number' should be already filled in (with '22') The third screen will ask for which kind of login - this is the important step - choose 'use the nomachine login' - this is not the default! Second screen will ask for hostname (e.g. Then, start the program - first time you'll set up a connection for knot (or whichever cluster you want).įirst screen will ask for which protocol - choose SSH from the pull down 'NX Client Products' can be found in the downloads page. NX will work for Mac/Windows/Linux, but is perhaps most useful for Windows as there isn't an easy, preinstalled way of accessing the Unix graphics.įirst, get the NX client from NoMachine (under 'NX Client Products') and install this lightweight program on your computer. Note - the NX client is an excellent way to use Knot, but the client/server setup we use is no longer official supported, so we recommend that you first try X2go - these instructions are intended for use only if you have trouble with one of the other methods of logging in and want to try NX.
