[FreeNX-kNX] "Session startup failed" - Can't open /usr/NX/var/db/running/sessionId{F019E43062C4A26A74E607B51AF6AE2F}

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello again!

I'm trying to setup a freenx server on a Gentoo host using the
packages from the nx overlay from bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101691
Before, I tried to use the packages from the main tree - but this
didn't work :( So I removed everything on the server side and on the
client side and started over using the overlay.

Okay. On the server, I now installed:

nx-x11-1.5.0-r8
nxcomp-1.5.0-r2
nxproxy-1.5.0-r2
nxserver-freenx-0.5.0.20060311-r1

I then added my "askwar" user to the list of allowed users by
running "nxserver --adduser askwar" and I then tried to connect.
But it fails :( Error message: "Session startup failed". In the
detals window, I see:
