provides a fully configured Linux environment from which merlin can be accessed

with `ssh` commands.
|
|

|
|
||||||
It is planned to run NoMachine directly on the Merlin6 login node in the future.
|
The Merlin6 NoMachine service is located **only** in the following login nodes:

This will enable data to be more easily transferred from Merlin6 through

|

NoMachine.

* `merlin-l-001.psi.ch`

* ~`merlin-l-002.psi.ch`~ (not available yet)
|

|
Below is explained all the steps necessary for configuring the access to the
|
||||||
|
NoMachine service running on a login node.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Creating a new connection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Open the NoMachine client and create a **New** connection:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Select **NX** protocol and **Continue**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Select the corresponding login node server where the NoMachine service is running and
|
||||||
|
keep **4000** as the listening port; then **Continue**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Choose your authentication method and **Continue**. **Password** or *Kerberos* are the recommended ones:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Don't use a proxy**, and **Continue**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally add a name for your connection. We strongly recommend to add the hostname of the login node, but
|
||||||
|
you are free to choose any other name:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Connecting to a NoMachine existing connection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Double click on the NoMachine server in order to connect to it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If authentication is required, you will be asked for it. The example below corresponds to **Password**
|
||||||
|
authentication:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, create a virtual desktop in order to get in. If a previous virtual desktop was created, you
|
||||||
|
might be able to re-attach the session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some hints of how to manage the resolution and windows will be shown.
