<br><tt><font size=2>yup</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Your distro ubuntu has packages (which expect to be

<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>The software is the same, apart from . . </font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>1/ an USERLAND update of nxloadconfig to point to

<br><tt><font size=2> install it all, instead of a common root installation</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>*** see attached nxloadconfig diff ***</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>2/ a few patches</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>3/ nxagent now has a wrapper script sitting in in

<br><tt><font size=2> which sets</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> LD_LIBRARY_PATH</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>then launches the nxagent binary</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>so</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>you can de-arc the libraries and nxagent to wherever

<br><tt><font size=2>and</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>update the wrapper script to suit . . .</font></tt>
<br>

<br><tt><font size=2>Whilst the FreeNX code is more or less the same, the
libraries and nxagent</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>have had quite a few patchs applied by nomachine.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>so</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>my advice is to</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> download the ubuntu
packages,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> rename your NX4U
directories</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> replace them with
the new software by unarchiving/extracting</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> eg
ar x *.deb</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>update the nxagent wrapper to point to whete you just
extracted</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>the binaries.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Update nxloadconfig, or just rename the new one and
copy back the old one</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Try it again.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>It might not fix your issue but I think its more than
50% likely to</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>do so . .</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Good luck !!</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Let us know how you get on . . . .</font></tt>
