existing nx connection does not show up in

nass · 06-18-2012, 10:02 AM

hello everyone,
I had started an nx session on friday and disconnected from it so i would log on again in the future. well the future is today and i wanted to connect to my existing session, but instead I got greeted by a freshly new session (that doesn't have my settings, wallpapers etcetc).
I check with ps and the former connection is still alive:

nass 28202 0.1 0.6 123664 55100 ? S Jun15 6:34 /usr/lib64/NX/nxagent -persistent -D -name NX - nass@stargaze:1022 - stargaze (GPL Edition) -option /home/nass/.nx/C-stargaze-1022-BCC181885279AE18F98E649D95FD576C/options -keyboard pc102/en_US -geometry 1274x772 -nolisten tcp :1022

but this connection does not show up in nx-admin client window

any clues as to how to get that session back?

I think this can happen mainly for two reasons:
- the client from which you are tring to connect from is a different one and doesn't support the resolution of session;
- the session for some reason isn't active anymore.

you can check on the server using the command

Code:

nxserver --list nass

but I have also to warn you that here I'm not using persistent sessions, because I find them a little buggy.

i guess the answer lies in buggy, but sometimes it is needed....

the command actually returned some completely different session!

this is a completely different session (i was hoping to see the session with display 1022)...

the funny thing is I connect in a display # 1023 for the new sessions that i get, but when i try to start firefox , it complains that it is already running....
