I'm trying to use nomachine and test it out on my two computers at home. I try to log in and it connects and authenticates then tries to create a session but throws an error. I checked the log and it says:

I took a look at the .nx folder and it's owned by root and I cannot change anything with it. How'd this happen and how could I correct it? I was hoping to use sudo and remove the folder (then create it again) but it says it cannot be removed because it's a directory. I've been slowly working on this all day :P



*EDIT: Ok, I found out you type rm -rf to remove directories. I did that and it works... I can start a session with my nomachine client. Too bad nomachine froze... twice:(
