Kalyxo server
by mornfall on Monday 23/Aug/2004, @12:08
Hello, we have intermittent server hassles (migrating to a different box: changing dns, moving the data, etc). I hope we'll be back up fully operational tonight. In the meanwhile, there is the news item from the site:

23.08.2004: FreeNX packages in experimental

The long awaited FreeNX server is finally here! Apt-get it from:

deb http://www.freedesktop.org/~mornfall/debian/ experimental main

After installing it (by =apt-get install nxserver=), run, as root =nxsetup=, then add your users (again as root), like "nxserver --adduser <username>" and "nxserver --passwd <username>". The user must exist in the system database first. When you have done this, you can run nxclient (get it from http://www.nomachine.com).

Great!
Thanks for the GPL'd deb packages!

But:
root@server:~# nxserver --password user
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-01 OS (GPL)
NX> 500 Error: Function --password not implemented yet.
NX> 999 Bye

Anyway to set the user-passwd manually?

Greetings

    I needed to type:

    % sudo mkdir /etc/nxserver
    % sudo touch /etc/nxserver/passwords

    Then it worked

Looks really neat,

Adding a user seemed to go fine, but so far I have been unble to connect to it. I tried checking the history and got:

scrappy:/home/bloodpup# nxserver --history
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-01 OS (GPL)
/usr/bin/nxserver: line 793: nxnode_start: command not found
NX> 999 Bye

Are there any docs up yet? I have not been able to find any.

    You can use the Client-Deb from http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/nx/nxclient-1.4.0.tar.gz.

    That one works.

    The one on the Knoppix also works.

    1.3.2 should also work.

    cu

ok. nxserver works fine now.

But neither VNC nor KDE/CDE/GNOME/Terminal/Custom things start up (when selected in the Client)
Only thing i see is blank nxclient window.

Although i can start thinks manualy on the server, e.g.
"export DISPLAY=:1000 ;wmaker"
this way i finaly got a viewably nx-setup ;)
but i doubt there's no easier way to get a working session.

Another thing: On LinuxTag i saw "suspending" and "resuming" of X/VNC/RDP-Sessions. To ask the Windows-way: Where's the button for this ? ;)
