[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX-kNX Digest, Vol 34, Issue 2

Mon Jun 4 09:25:13 UTC 2007

The important line in this log is:
	NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1.
This tells us nxagent exited with an error, but to find out why we need to see 
the session logs from the user's home directory, in your case the session and 
error files from /root/.nx/F-<servername>-<display>-<session-ID>

If this again says 'startkde: command not found' then you need to find the 
startkde script, and find what what NX is trying to run. To find the script 
use the following (it may take some time...):
	find / -iname startkde
This may give more than one result. To find which one would normally be run 
use:
	which startkde
Now to find what nx is trying to run check the value of COMMAND_START_KDE 
in /etc/nxserver/node.conf. If it has a # in front of it you can ignore it 
and check the default value instead. This is in nxloadconfig which on my FC6 
is in /usr/bin along with nxagent, nxproxy and the rest. For reference on my 
FC6 the default is:
COMMAND_START_KDE="/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin
/startkde"
