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

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

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

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

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

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. NX> 999 Bye I have restarted sshd but it still doesn't work. Anyone have a Howto for Centos? Any ideas?

Hello all. Probably this question has already been posed in the context of another software, but I am unable to find it. I would like to implement a module which should manage munin-clients as well as the munin-server. Here is what I am thinking about implementing: - There are two classes: munin::client and munin::server - munin::clients'' configuration will be managed automatically.

I was having trouble connecting to the server that I am using for remote development so I updated things and rebooted. Connected into FreeNX nicely after that...wonder if there is issues with memory leaks or something... Anyway, it appears that the nxagent grabbed port 3000 which is what I was using for rubyonrails/webrick (I probably can change that) which sort of tells me that when I first

Hi people I will like to ask for the permission to rewrite the current FreeNX article. The current article is lacking in the information on how to add accounts to the nxserver on centos. I think it will be very difficult for linux newbies to understand how to read that article. I am a newbie too so I can understand the frustration when you can't find an appropriate HowTo article. Addtional

Hi all, One of the major new features in the upcoming release is that Puppet now uses a graph library internally to handle resource relationships. The big benefit to all of you is that you can use this library to turn these graphs into images. The trick, right now, is adding --graph when you run puppetd. This creates .dot files, which can then be interpreted by the

Has the component/type defaults syntax changed for 0.22.x? I have a component: <snip> define remotefile($owner=root, $group=root, $mode, $source, $backup=false, $recurse=false, $groupname="default") { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

Hi, I had a working puppet setup using version 0.22 until the ruby security patch bit me. I tried upgrading server and clients to 0.24.1 however my old manifests don''t seem to work anymore. When I run puppetd on the client I see lots of messages like: err: //Node[waterbuck]/yumupdater/Remotefile[/etc/cron.hourly/yumupdater]/File[/etc/cron.hourly/yumupdater]/ensure: change from absent

What is the right way to write definition so that defaults can be overriden? $puppetdir = "puppet://$server/files" define remotefile($source, $owner = "root", $group = "root", $mode = 0644, $backup = false, $recurse = false) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

Hi! I have the following packages installed: freenx-0.4.4-1.centos4.noarch from extras bash-completion-20050721-1.2.el4.rf.noarch from dries/dag bash-3.0-19.2.i386 from base seems to result in a non-working nxserver (the window manager doesn't start up, although X applications can be launched via logging in through a seperate ssh and setting the DISPLAY variable accordingly)... As far as

"Service and class definitions are scoped just as variable assignments are." But what about types? Here''s an example: class solserver inherits server { remotefile { "/etc/shadow": mode => 400, group => staff, source => "solall/etc/shadow.server" } Is it possible to just override the "/etc/shadow" definition for

Hi, I just upgraded to puppet 0.20.0 today after a short time playing with 0.19.3. The docs say to use the uppercase form for types but that seems to break for me. When I updated the remotefile function to use the new way, the puppet clients complain about objects not being found. For example: ----- OLD WAY (works, just with deprecations) ----- define remotefile (...) { file { $name :
