[FreeNX-kNX] Fw: The NX service is not available

[sohbay at gmail.com]

Thanks for the help Terje

I have spent about 8 hours reading everything on the internet but still I cannot make this work!

I have uninstalled it and made sure there were no lingering installations

I installed freenx with yum and its dependency NX

then I ran the setup and this what I have now.

[root at server ~]# /usr/share/doc/freenx-0.7.0/nxsetup

------> It is recommended that you use the NoMachine key for
        easier setup. If you answer "y", FreeNX creates a custom
        KeyPair and expects you to setup your clients manually.
        "N" is default and uses the NoMachine key for installation.

 Do you want to use your own custom KeyPair? [y/N] n

Try `mkdir --help' for more information.

  I tried to help you, but you need to do something yourself too.... ;-)

  If you're unsure where the nxserver binaries is, do as root:

  root#> updatedb

  root#> locate nxsetup
  (here you most probably will find the other binaries from FreeNX aswell)

  then specify the complete path (like this: /usr/bin/NX/nxsetup --help)

  I again advise you to look at the Wiki page I gave earlier for more detailed help.
