    Remote Desktop isn't connecting properly (CentOS)

    Hello,

    Whenever I attempt to connect to my CentOS VPS via nomachine, I get the following error:

    Info: Display running with pid '6984' and handler '0xa0bbe'.

    NXPROXY - Version 3.5.0

    Why does this happen? I am fairly new to CentOS (about 5 days). Any help is appreciated.

    Sincerely, Dylan.

    I have never used a VPS personally, but are you sure NX is what you are supposed to use to connect? There are other, more common ones, is why I ask. For example, you could try VNC. Install the client on your PC (there are Linux and Windows and Java versions - try TightVNC) and then try to connect to your VPS. You'll need to know the display number to connect to. If you don't give it one, it defaults to :0, but that is not likely correct. Typically, it is :1 (for local connections) and if connecting over the network, it is :5901 (or :2 and :5902, etc.). Did your VPS provider give you this information?

    For example, if my VPS ip address is 123.123.123.123, and my VNC server is running on display port :3, I would connect with VNC like this:

    Code:
    vncviewer 123.123.123.123:5903
