Any news on FreeNX for Fedora x86_64?

ExoZagNoid · 03-08-2006, 02:46 PM

Has anyone got the freenx server working on Fedora x86_64 properly? I'm just curious. I would love to have this running.

The latest thing I've heard is Rick's article here (UPDATED 2006-02-01):

Thanks for any news.

Just make sure you open up ssh on your router.

Most of the stuff is downloaded with wget and just rpm. It really was simple to do. I used the instructions for Fed 4. I can connect WinXp to my Nix box remotely. For the client you just need to download the client and a certificate on the pc that making the connection.

Chetroia,
Are you running a 32 bit server or a 64 bit (AMD64, x86_64) server? Rick has a line on that page:
"Side Note: I have been working towards inclusion into Fedora Extras, but the server does not run on x86_64. That means no official Fedora packages... yet..."

Thx,
Exo

I am running 32 bit.

I'm anxious to get freenx workingon FC5/6 too.

I've tried the the FC5 instructions from Rick's site to no avail.

I've tried following nomachine.org's instructions but I can't get it to work either.

As any progress on getting this running under x86_64 been made?
