Infinite Loading screen after connect
AnsweredClient is running Debian Bullseye.
Celeron NUC. Was working fine until it wasn't.There are 3 in production, 1 is misbehaving. Others are fine. These were all cloned.
After launching the program, you try to connect to the NX Server and get an infinite loading screen. Minimizing the client and maximizing it puts you back at the connect screen again. Only issue I can see in the log is following:
2021-11-18 13:37:59.285 1552 WARNING nx::vms::applauncher::InstallationManager(0x7ffebe09fc20): Can't find client binary in /home/user/.local/share/Network Optix/applauncher/default/bin
Edit:
Maybe an SSL issue?

Figured it out. NX cannot be cloned as it seems there is some uniqueness about the installation.0 -
Hi @...,
I assume that these 3 devices are in the same network and/or merged together? In such case, cloning is likely the issue. That being said, cloning is still possible, but requires some additional steps as described in THIS support article.
Another comment; please use a support OS. Although Ubuntu and Debian have a lot in common, issues still might occur, especially on the client side, since by default, Debian doesn't come with proprietary drivers. Please use Ubuntu instead with the default desktop environment in case you use the client.
Debian Bullseye is a non-supported OS. A list of supported OS and the applicable version can be found in THIS support article.

Yes, same network, 2 of the 3 were cloned - 1st one was a test. So 2 and 3 clash when connecting to the server. To be honest, really silly having the client software have some sort of uniqueness to them. Server I can understand why, not the client though.
Next batch will hopefully be Ubuntu - Debian was chosen as resources were absolute, client being cheap - putting down only for celerons - before they wanted atoms to use as device walls.
Had to make do with what I was given...
Well, hopefully I can fix this mess remotely and not have to go on site.0 -
Hi @...,
The Nx Desktop Client does have a unique identifier called pcUuid in the configuration file.
The configuration file can be accessed through the following path:
/home/%username/.config/Network Optix/Network Optix HD Witness Client.conf
The key name is "pcUuid". See the screenshot below.

The process is the following:
1. Stop the Nx Desktop Client.
2. Delete the pcUuid key. (Everything on the line after pcUuid=)
3. Start the Nx Desktop Client.The Client will create a new, unique, pcUuid.
If you have remote access, you could do this through SSH or via TeamViewer through the terminal application.

Solution works well, all 3 NUCS/Connections are able to be established at the same time.
Thanks.
