Error installing nomachine (error parsing archive)

[steve234]

Hi there,

I'm trying nomachine as TV doesn't work for my application.

I am following the tutorial here:
https://websiteforstudents.com/install-nomacine-on-ubuntu-16-04-17-10-18-04/

Having downloaded the package I get the following error:


sudo dpkg -i nomachine_6.7.6_11_amd64.deb(Reading database ... 234212 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack nomachine_6.7.6_11_amd64.deb ...
dpkg: error processing archive nomachine_6.7.6_11_amd64.deb (--install):
new nomachine package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
nomachine_6.7.6_11_amd64.deb




Anyone know what went wrong?

If your TV doesn't work, I don't get why a remote desktop will be helpful. Where will you display it? Do you have a different monitor?

Lol - you know TV= teamviewer;

Solved it anyway - had an /etc/NX folder from previous faffing which was messing it up - rm'd that and the install worked. Am all happy remoting in (on my phone)
