similar to: freenx vs vmware console

I was trying an assortment of things to get a remote X session working (where I had forgotten to install the xauth package...) and noticed that running xeyes kills my freenx session. This happened whether in the NX/freenx session itself or when run on a remote machine via 'ssh -Y', started from a window in a freenx session. Is that a known problem or do I have something set up wrong?

Is anyone using x2go on Centos - and if so, is there any reason to think about switching from freenx? The old NX client for mac was a powerpc binary and is no longer supported under mountain lion - and their new alpha release crashed my mac after an OSX update so I'm curious if there is anything better around. (And I didn't like the way the new mac version changed the screen scaling

Now that Mac lion/mountain lion versions of OSX don't support the old powerpc binaries like the NX 3.5 client any more, what is the best approach to connect to freenx on Centos - the new 'nxplayer' from nomachine.com, opennx, or something else? Google seems to show mixed opinions and quirks with each. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

My NX/freenx connections have recently started to drop more or less randomly after several hours. Reconnection works with everything still running. I don't think anything has changed other than CentOS updates. Is anyone else seeing this? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

When I run the GUI Virtual Machine Manager in an NX/freenx session and open a console to a windows guest VM (haven't tried Linux w/X as a guest yet), the mouse point location does not track correctly. Is there some setting to improve this? X2go seems better in this respect but I'm not sure I want to switch yet. Normally I'd use vnc or remote-desktop connections directly to the

Has anyone built a freenx 7.3 for Centos 5? I'd like to be able to use the session shadow mode on some machines. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

There are new RPMS released for nx and freenx in the CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 Extras repository. I normally do not announce that here, as those can easily be obtained on a normal "yum upgrade/update", however in this case there are special actions required *_IF_* you have the x86_64 architecture for either CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 with the current versions of nx and freenx installed.

Hi all, I am new to CentOS and freeNX -- both look really awesome, a huge thanks to all the people making them happen. I am having a problem with freenx that appears to be specific to centos 5. my client authenticates but then no desktop comes up. however, when I connect to a similar machine running centos 4.4, I authenticate and the gnome desktop just pops up sweet as can be. I also have a vnc

Is there a packaged freenx version anywhere for Centos 3.x? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hi thanks for the reply i am really grateful if you can tell me how to make FreeNX work like charm. I am really stuck with it, and after reinstalling the server is definitely pissing off my boss. Please help me thanks. =========================== Please let me review how my FreeNX was screwed up. After i fresh install my CentOS 5, I 'yum install freenx' and so if i am not wrong I

Finally got a chance to install Centos 6.x x86_64 version and having an issue with the latest version of freenx.

When I enable the extras repo and install the nx-3.5.0-1.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm and freenx-0.7.3-8.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm. When I try to logon the desktop pops up but I get the

Hi All, I'm hoping someone will be able to offer some advice on desktop shadowing with the latest CentOS 4's FreeNX. I've installed the latest FreeNX RPMs as described on the wiki: [james at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nx nxclient-3.2.0-9 freenx-0.7.3-1.el4.centos nx-3.2.0-8.el4.centos And I can NX in using two separate test user accounts. However when I try to enable shadowing I

We have created a new version of freenx (freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm) and moved it to the testing repo. This is based on the code displayed at the LWE in San Francisco ... http://lwn.net/Articles/146825/ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8489 (though it is not officially released as stable by the freenx people) This version should handle printing and reconnecting to running sessions much

Is three any rpm for Nx for 64bit Centos? Or can I use these rpms? (freenx-0.5.0-10.c4 and nx-1.5.0-1.centos4). I have been searching for this quite some time and did find any. If some one could tell me how I could install FreeNx and Nx for Centos 64 bit would be a really appreciated. Thanks Rajeev -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, I've encountered an error updating nx/freenx: Package nx-3.5.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm is not signed Both nx and freenx packages in Centos 6 extras repo are not signed, is this correct? Andrzej

Hi All, I am new to Centos so please bare with me :-( I installed Freenx using yam install freenx Everything worked fine (or so it seemed) When I ran 'nxserver start' I got NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-44 OS (GPL) NX> 500 Error: Function start not implemented yet.

Hello All, I have FreeNX deployed on a CentOS 4 server at a client site. When I log into my Gnome desktop on the client's server and start an app, the window borders aren't visible. The applications themselves act strangely too - when I try to click on a menu item, either nothing happens or the app loses focus. Overall, the window manager looks to be acting up. At first I thought
