I'm not an expert with freenx so please treat my opinion accordingly.
You have just one authentication method-publickey-and that is failing.
It might be that the key(s) on the server were changed in the update.
You might try to figure that out or you might just remove freenx and
reinstall it from scratch.

You might also try getting into the computer using ssh alone, without
freenx.
Good luck with it. I know life is not good when you are used to using it
and then deprived of it.
