FreeNX config

[seangee]

Hi all

Just installed II and tried to setup free nx using the package at deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu intrepid main. I can login ok but am having problems getting x to start.

Version info is (from nxserver.log in debug mode)

HELLO NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.3.0)
NX> 105 hello NXCLIENT - Version 3.2.0

Client is NoMachine 3.3.0-3 running on OSX 10.5.5

I have the same problem with 3.2.10-0 on Vista (this is the version I was using for Kubuntu 8.04)

I created symlinks for the "missing" modules - e.g. libX11.so.6.2 -> libX11.so.6.2.0 which got rid of the last set of errors. I know this is clumsy and I should fix the problem (how). In any event it didn't work as it still fails trying to open display :1000

Afraid I am a linux newb and that's as far as my ability allowss me to go. Anyone got any suggestions on where to from here?

Re: FreeNX config

So they've got their own repo now, interesting Thanks for that info.

Assuming that you've made all the pertinent changes to the server files I've found it necessary to start KDE with an empty session each time rather than a saved or the previous one.

Re: FreeNX config - solved

Gave up - uninstalled this one and installed the server from nomachine.com manually. All working fine now with no further intervention.

Hint: You have to manually remove the user nx so the installation can create it
