Fwd: [FreeNX-kNX] "NX was unable to negotiate a link cache for this session"

[Erik Myllymaki]

Yes you are correct, the error message starts:

"NX was unable to negotiate a cache for this session."

and it is is a dialogue box that pops up in the Windows client window.

I have set the Configure -> Advanced -> Cache -> On disk to 0.

I do not have ANY nxagent directory on the server...?

How can I clear a corrupt cache, becasue I can still not connect?

thanks.
