[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX on OpenSUSE-11.3

[GreenJelly at web.de]

Hello, 

I installed FreeNX from the SUSE repository, but I can't manage to get it working. I've googled, checked and tested so many things; in my old 11.0 installation FreeNX was a pure delight over years ... 

I did the normal installation .. nxsetup, add a user .. without success.

Then I changed the log-level and had an error. I use the german packages, so I get an error "rdesktop -- ungültige Option -o" (unknown option -o, like Daniel and Kai here http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2008-September/007391.html).

In my installation I don' have the option to change to nxdesktop or nxviewer, these are not part of the package. I already tried to symlink to nxagent, as it was in older installations .. without success.

BTW: When I try to connect with vnc, I get a similar message ... unknown option.

I found out (google) that the permission on the /var/lib/nxserver was not correctly set. Now nx is the owner of this directory.

What I did next is, to look into the nxagent source and found a line with the rdesktop command. The line is abbreviated "rdesktop -option xy". Yes, the rdesktop man page shows no parameter -o ... I tried to hack the script and changed is to something like rdesktop myserver. With this one, I got an window, but it stops answering, it get no respone. 

I did several other things, that I don't remember. In the end I don't know, how to get FreeNX working ...

Can someone out there help me? Is there anybody, who got it working under 11.3? Do I have the chance to get other packages (perhaps from Ubuntu), or do I have to build it from the sources? Is there an alternative project, on Berlios, there are no changes since 2008 .. ?

Frank
