[FreeNX-kNX] Can't install Freenx on clean Fedora 9

Mon May 19 15:46:11 UTC 2008

Hi Sean,

Let's start with the error you received and ignore the warnings   for now. 
The error you received was...

> Error: Could not find   1.5.0 or 2.[01].0 or 3.[01].0 version string in
> nxagent. NX 1.5.0 or   2.[01].0 or 3.[01].0 backend is needed for this
> version of   FreeNX.

You got this message because the nxloadconfig script is looking   for a 1.5.0, 
2.1.0, or 3.1.0 backend.  You are using the 3.2.0 backend as   indicated by 
the 'nx-3.2.0-27 fc9 i386' rpm package.  The 3.2.0 backend will   work fine. 
You will just have to update the nxloadconfig script and have it   search for 
the 3.2.0 backend.

Look for the line that says...

[   -z "$(strings $PATH_BIN/nxagent | egrep 'NXAGENT - Version 1.5.0|NXAGENT -   
Version 2.[01].0|NXAGENT - Version 3.[01].0')" ] && \

... and   change it to...

[ -z "$(strings $PATH_BIN/nxagent | egrep 'NXAGENT -   Version 1.5.0|NXAGENT - 
Version 2.[01].0|NXAGENT - Version 3.[01].0|NXAGENT   - Version 3.2.0')" ] && 
\

After that, run './nxsetup install'   again.

Justin

rpm -qa | grep nx
  freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc9.i386
  nxclient-3.2.0-9.i386
  nx-3.2.0-27.fc9.i386

  I couldn't connect, so on the server:

  ./nxsetup --test

     Errors occured during config check.
     Please correct the configuration file.

  I tried to set it up again:

  ./nxsetup
  ------> You did select no action.
           FreeNX guesses that you want to _install_ the server.
           Type "y" to abort the installation at this point in time.
           "N" is the default and continues installation.
           Use "./nxsetup --help" to get more detailed help hints.

    Do you want to abort now? [y/N]

  ------> It is recommended that you use the NoMachine key for
           easier setup. If you answer "y", FreeNX creates a custom
           KeyPair and expects you to setup your clients manually.
           "N" is default and uses the NoMachine key for installation.

    Do you want to use your own custom KeyPair? [y/N]

  Now nxclient put libXcomp in:

  /usr/NX/lib/libXcomp.so

  which is not the nxsetup search path.

  What am I missing?
