[FreeNX-kNX] Cannot reconnect session after regular system update on OSX client

[Tamás Pusztai]

Hi, Florian,

  To answer your questions:  (1) Yes, as far as I can remember and check it on Apple's update site, I did the "Mac OS X v10.6.3 Update".  My laptop is a MacBook Air (rev. A).  (2) No, I can't start a new session, either.

  Thanks for trying it yourself and for the feedback in advance.  Before you perform the update, please look at the content of your actual /tmp/launch-* directory.  I'm not sure that the problem is here, but I find it strange that nxclient seems to look for '/tmp/launch-gAREQO/org.x', but I have '/tmp/launch-gAREQO/org.x:0'.

  Regards,

  Tamás

Can't you only reconnect an existing session or is it also impossible to create a new session on you server from this client?
