This is the only real error and it can be solved by changing it to:

APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libX11-nx.so.6.2:/usr/lib/libXext-nx.so.6.4:/usr/lib/libXcomp.so:/usr/lib/libXcompext.so:/usr/lib/libXrender-nx.so.1.2"

I just applied the same change to SVN and changed it from an error to a warning.

This is "okay".

This is caused by the fact that we check for existance via:

which /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startkde, which does fail of course, because initially it was just one command.

@ALL: Any ideas how to check that value better?

Same here.

I don't know.

@ALL: Anyone build new nxdesktop and nxviewer for ubuntu?

$ cp /etc/nxserver/node.conf.default /etc/nxserver/node.conf # if it did not exist, yet
$ vi /etc/nxserver/node.conf

Yeah, that should fix it.

I still have a patch for running it with port 445 and CIFS, but I still don't know how to tell the client that I want 445 and not 139 forwarded ...

So for now running the old smbfs should still work though.
