My host is Windows 10 64-bit. I have a raspberry pi that I do not have direct access to. Neither do I have access to the router it's connected to. I simply use SSH to connect to it. But, I need to change Port Forwarding, and to do that, I need to have access to a GUI. So I am using NoMachine. But whenever I try to do
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --startsession
I get:
NX> 500 ERROR: Display cannot be empty.
I have found solutions for Xvfb but Raspberry Pi OS uses LXDE.
Xvfb :99 -auth /home/username/.Xauthority -screen 0 1024x768x24 DISPLAY=:99 /etc/NX/nxserver -startsession
