freenx problems

Klogg · 07-06-2006, 07:21 PM

I am having some trouble getting freenx to work. I have Fedora Core 5, and I followed the instructions at http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx. It almost works, but not quite. When I am hooking up to my computer from a Windows computer, it says that it's connected, and a window with a big "!M" logo (presumably where my Linux desktop should show up) pops up. However, after a second or two, it disappears, and the client closes, saying that it's logged on or whatever. If I open it up again and tell it to log on, it says that it's resuming (apparently it gets suspended the first time I try to hook up?) but times out. If I click "Details" after timing out, it shows me this:

Does anyone know how I might be able to fix this? Thanks.

You must rename the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11.old
Or just rename it to something else.
This directory must not exist.
It solved the problem for me.

I do have another problem with the NoMachine client, FreeNX on Fedora Core 5 and Xorg 7.0.
When I'm connected with freenx and I want to shutdown the session with CTRL-ALT-T (or the red cross in the upper right corner) I doesn't get the xdialog (or xterm session) where I can suspend or close the freenx session.
Nothing happens.
It looks like that the keymappings aren't interpreted the right way.
Someone else with the same problem ?
