Dear list,


somebody already had this problem [1], but did not respond anymore.

I am using Debian/unstable on the server and client with the
feisty-seveas packages from [2].

Server:

||/ Name           Version        Beschreibung
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  freenx         0.6.0-0~seveas The FreeNX application/thin-client server ba
ii  libxcomp2      2.1.0-0~seveas NoMachine NX - NX compression library
ii  libxcompext2   2.1.0-0~seveas NoMachine NX - NX compression library
and all dependencies are also installed.

Client:

||/ Name           Version        Beschreibung
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  nxclient       2.1.0-17       NX Client


$ sudo nxloadconfig --check

gave me an error with libs and I had to change it
in /usr/lib/nx/nxloadconfig to

[ -z "$APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PRELOAD" ] &&
APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PRELOAD="$APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PATH/libX11-nx.so.6.2:
$APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PATH/libXext-nx.so.6.4:
$APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PATH/libXcomp.so.2:
$APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PATH/libXcompext.so.2:
$APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PATH/libXrender-nx.so.1.2"


I had to adapt the font paths for the Debian directory structure

[~/.nx/*/session/]
Could not init font path
element /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic:/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1:/usr/share/X11/fonts/CID:/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi:/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType:/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID, removing from list!

and did this in /etc/nxserver/node.conf with

AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X="-fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/"

or

AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X="-fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc:/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1:/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi:unscaled:/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi:unscaled"

But it still complains with

[~/.nx/*/session/]
could not open default font 'fixed' .

Can somebody give me a hint, in what package this fonts is included or
what else I can do. I set the log level to 6 and attach the session
files for both fonts path trials. The X Errors in both are different

26,27c26,27
< X Error:  238
<   Request Major code 253 ()
---
> X Error:  190
>   Request Major code 246 ()
29c29
<   Error Serial #47021
---
>   Error Serial #47014


Thanks a lot.

Paul
