similar to: freenx disconnects?

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

After upgrading to 5.2 and the current freenx, when I start the vmware server console (from VMware-server-1.0.6-91891) in the NX client I get Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":1000.0". in the terminal window where vmware was started and a black screen where the console of the virtual machine is supposed to be. Is there a way to make this work?

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

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

installed freenx server on CentOS 4 server installed nxclient from nomachine.com on workstation so far so good. following directions from web site... http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ where I tried both /etc/nxserver/client/client.id_dsa.key and /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key copied them to my workstation and then used the 'import' function in

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

On rare occasions I want to run a remote X command (like 'meld' to interactively merge changes in files) and normally 'ssh -Y remote_host' from a terminal in an NX/freenx window that is acting as my desktop to start and any X program subsequently started would open in a new window via X-forwarding - at least when the target is a 5.x host. I don't do it often enough to remember

hi, this is not the same as http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6298 I can login with ssh but not with freenx With 6.3 this worked, I just spinned some new servers and now I can no longer use freenx. in /var/log/messages: pr 3 22:05:11 testthuis nxserver[3435]: (nx) Failed login for user=admin from IP=192.168.0.160 Apr 3 22:06:01 testthuis nxserver[3619]: (nx) Failed login for user=admin

Can anyone comment on the best remote GUI approach for C7 yet? X2goserver is in epel but when I tried it on the RHEL beta it only worked with a KDE desktop due to the 3d requirement of Gnome3. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I finally got access to some machines with more resources than the free VMware ESXi license allows which pushed me into trying kvm instead. Seems capable enough for what I need and can even import and run the existing vmdk images I already have. But, I have some questions about accessing the virt-manager console remotely for initial configuration, etc.. Normally I use freenx for remote GUI

I have installed freenx with this article http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/FreeNX but when I use freenx-client on windows to connect to server, I always get an "freenx Authentication failed." client err log output as this: NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 1584 NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX

I have just installed freenx on two seperate centos 5.0 boxes. I had freenx server working before performing a "yum update" (which upgraded centos to 5.1). I then rebooted the box and now the display starts to show on the client, but then terminates the connection for no reason (at least nothing in any server logs). Below is the session info on the client machine. NXPROXY - Version

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

Me, I?ll take GNOME 3 and all its warts over CDE any day of the week. CDE never would have *evolved* to be the equal of GNOME; it had to be destroyed to make room. But it doesn't matter how pretty Gnome3 is on some other box.

I've been running a FreeNX session for several days. During that time, I have occasionally lost the connect and when I re-establish the connection, it resumes where I left off and it was really nice. Tonight I lost the connection and when I reconnected, it started a new session but when I run NX Session Administrator application on the FreeNX server, it still shows the session as

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

I've currently got the nx-1.5.0-1.centos4.i386, freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch, and nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386 packages installed on a couple of CentOS 4 update 3 systems and I'm getting the same results on all of them. I got the new version of freenx via "yum update" and it appears to have "broken" fullscreen mode. The connection config file I have been using does have the
