Hi John,<br><br>I don't no a lot about FreeNX 0.6. Current version is 0.7.3 and (at least on Ubuntu) it's running out of the box.<br><br>What is important is that you use the correct apt repo's to pull the .deb from.<br>
For Ubuntu create file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freenx.list with contents<br><br>deb <a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu">http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu</a> <releasename> main<br><br>For the latest version replace <releasename> with intrepid<br>
<br>Since Ubuntu and Debian are much alike, I expect you can use the intrepid repo.<br><br>Then on apt-get install freenx-server, it should install the latest version of freenx and needed nx libraries.<br><br>If it still fails, I'm happy to help you get things running<br>

Mr. Franz:<br>
<br>
I have been attempting to get FreeNX running on Debian Lenny, needing<br>
more than two users allowed. (Hence, the NoMachine server isn't<br>
suitable for me.)<br>
<br>
I went through an installation process involving downloading a number of<br>
files and adding the directory of those files to my apt-sources, and<br>
eventually installed FreeNX-0.6. But it wouldn't work, always crashing<br>
with "cannot stat /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionID...." showing in<br>
the client (NoMachine's client) window.<br>
<br>
I googled and found this error common, but few hints and no solution.<br>
<br>
Turns out (in my case, at least) it is because the default install<br>
creates /var/log/nxserver.log - but apparently doesn't make it writeable<br>
to the nx user. I found out accidentally, when I changed the error<br>
logging from "0" to "6" and decided it'd be good to change the log<br>
permissions, just in case.<br>
<br>
I'm telling you because I think SOMEBODY who understands how to<br>
communicate this kind of information ought to know. I'm new to Linux<br>
and <think> this may be of use, but have absolutely no idea of the<br>
"correct" place to share this.<br>
<br>
I apologize for the intrusion on your time. Thank you for your efforts<br>
at supporting open source software.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
