NX Client suddenly won't open. It just flashes for one second then closes.


Hello. I have two different nx servers i log into. I added a new hard drive into one of them, and suddenly it won't open up. When i open the nx client it seems to go just fine but then on the screen that has the big !M it shows that for a split second and then closes. No errors.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? It's gotta be something simple, but I just can't find anything online about this issue.

-Thanks for any help.
BTW, I'm using kubuntu 9.10 and i've tried this from two different clients/computers that both were able to log in just fine a few hours ago. So it's gotta be the server.

What do the log files of the server say? Have you run the client from the console to see if it's output is more verbose?

Regards,

There should be messages in /var/log/messages (for syslog) pertaining to your vnc server. See if anything useful is in there.
