[FreeNX-kNX] Experience installing freenx-server on Debian Sid from Ubuntu ppa repository

[Paul Menzel]

Dear list,


thanks to the great work of Fabian, Marcelo, Hai, George and many more,
it was easy to get freenx-server running under Debian Sid.

Not having found information on experiences doing this, I write my
experiences to this list. Having read this promising message [1], I will
wait, until I update the page in the Debian Wiki [2].


Here we go.

I added

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu hardy main

to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Then, I installed it with the following command.

$ sudo aptitude install freenx


I noticed the following lines. But the warning is probably easy to fix.

Richte freenx-server ein (0.7.3+svn612-0freenxteam2) ...
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/freenx-server missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 500 Error: No running sessions found.
NX> 999 Bye
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 500 ERROR: Service already running
NX> 999 Bye


Locally I could connect with QtNX and the NX Client. From remote just
with the NX Client. See my message some minutes ago [3].


I do not know if a restart is needed after
adapting /etc/nxserver/node.conf, but

$ sudo nxserver --restart
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 123 Service stopped
NX> 122 Service started
NX> 999 Bye

and

$ sudo invoke-rc.d freenx-server restart
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 500 Error: No running sessions found.
NX> 999 Bye
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 500 ERROR: Service already running
NX> 999 Bye

looks different. But I do not know anything about initscripts though.


These are the only glitches I noticed. Otherwise everything was straight
forward. Thank you so much again for your great work.


Bests,

Paul
