Installing NoMachine Remote Desktop - Package installer issues

Hi Friends, 
This might not be the best place for this but I've already posted on their forum and was suggested i try here. 
forum.nomachine.com/topic/cant-find-appl...fter-package-install

because sometimes its easier to work on my central machine and not walk back and forth to the machine while trying to make tweaks and changes I have found NoMachine. From what i've read it seems to be a windows to linux remote desktop tool and seems to work based on what i've read. 

The issue i am having; after the .deb file downloads and i double click to open it with the package installer i click install package and then nothing happens. No file, no application, nothing to be found. I have been trying to command line install it to no avail. Any idea if the Debian that linux cnc runs is different in a way that could effect the install of this type of software? 

 

they seem to think it could be an issue with the package installer on the machine itself. I tried to follow prompts to install the .deb on command line but didnt seem to have access to the directory.

I'm definitely open to alternatives that will work. I just want to make sure that I wont run into the same issue when trying to install that one. Is there a any small thing i can download (minesweeper or snake maybe) that i make sure i can actually install things?

It seems like you made a typo, try to go first to the directory:
cd ~/Downloads
and then enter:
sudo apt install ./nomachine and press TAB so it will complete it automatically to nomachine_8.16.1_1_amd64.deb and press enter

Or just open the folder in the window manager and dubbel click the file

I'm using Sunshine as host on the LinuxCNC PC and Moonlight-qt as client, this works pretty well.
github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases
github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases/tag/v6.1.0

On the Windows PC I use WinSCP to easily transfer files

Thank you so much. I did have a typo. I am getting a different error now that i think ill take back to their forum.


I am interested in the solution you recommended but I think installing all of that and getting them to talk to each other seems a little out of my league unless there's super easy to follow instructions somewhere HAHA.

You failed to read the installation instructions on the website.

sudo dpkg -i nomachine_8.16.1_1_amd64.deb

Of course changing the package name.

For just editing files this is way over kill.
Install Putty on the windows machine.
Login into the Linuxcnc machine via ssh
sudo apt install mc (it may already be installed)
Browse the filesystem
F4 will open the editor, in asked choose mcedit.
F10 closes and saves the file.
Yeah yeah yeah it looks like Norton Commander, but it is a very powerful tool. Eevn on a full desktop install I still use it.

Can I have my dummy back ?

It looks like you still don't have the full filename, because you have more files with partly that name it didn't complete it fully. When you have: sudo apt install ./nomachine_8.15.3_1_amd64 press 2 times TAB and you'll likely see that you have more files with that name. Press one letter more of the file that you'd like to install and press TAB again and you'll see that it completes the filename until the end (.deb). Now it should install when you press enter
