[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX - Odd bug in Arch linux version ? After reboot login fails a random number of times ?

[Alastair Johnson]

Have you got the session logs as suggested:

NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1. To troubleshoot set
SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in node.conf and investigate
"/home/yossarian/.nx/F-C-
winwinwinwin-1000-4019A7CF25937E24257EA1658F4247F9/session".
You might also want to try: ssh -X myserver; /opt/NX/bin/nxnode --agent to
test the basic functionality

These often, but not always, give some clue as to why nxagent exited.
