OpenSUSE Network :: FreeNX For People Upgrading To 11.3?
Jul 18, 2010
Just incase anyone is suffering from the same problem as I was after upgrading to 11.3 that there was no such file or directory in /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionID. I found the answer in another forum and thought i would post it here. Basically there is a change in the openssl library used to calculate the md5sum used by nx which stopped it from connecting.
Putting
COMMAND_MD5SUM="md5sum"
at the end of /etc/nxserver/node.conf fixes the problem.
I've been working on getting NoMachine and FreeNX working together ... and they're both working well, listening on different ports (guess I should write a howto). At some point I decided to write an init script to control FreeNX behaviour (start, stop, status, setup), since the Ubuntu version has one (called freenx-server) and openSUSE doesn't, but I noticed that it was not necessary, as FreeNX got started automatically... but how ? I could not find any init.d script or command which would start the FreeNX server. Indeed it wasn't actually running :
Code: neelix:~ # /usr/bin/nxserver --status NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-73 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
This thread (nxserver now broken?) has inspired me to install FreeNX and the client from nomachine on openSUSE-11.2 (this is the version used on both, server and client machine). The good news is: basically it works. I can connect and get the desktop. However, I have some trouble with the keyboard. Up and Down arrow keys do not work. The up arrow triggers a screen snapshot. The down arrow key does nothing. I tried to connect using qtnx as well. This does not work. Result is:
I have been spending hours and hours trying to find a "Remote installation for Dummies" ....kind of step-by-step approach. But after several evenings googling and reading. This is how far I got: I have installed FeeNX on my server and after sudo nxserver -- status I get a reply like this:
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL. using backend: 3.4.0) NX> 110 NX Server is running NX> 999 Bye
so to me that looks like the server process is running. I also installed the windows Nomachine on my laptop and hooked it all up in my local network (so no routers whatsoever) I disabled the firewalls on both my laptop and my server. just in case configured the client for port 22 and the fixed IP address of my server. even imported the users.id_dsa.pub key in the client. long story short: I only get that annoying little error window from Nomachine saying: "Cannot initialize the display service"
I tried to install suse 11.4 on the new gnome desktop 3. everything seems to work except the network manager. Is not present in the bar and I can not restore it. tried to reinstall network manager but to no avail.Does anyone know how I could solve this problem
I currently have a WiFi network at home that serves two PC's, a Laptop (all SUSE 11.3) and a couple of WiFi radios. I also use IPCop as the Firewall. The system currently uses 802.11g, but the PC's and Laptop really struggle to achieve any reasonable internet data speeds, particularly as their RF range to the Wireless Router is very disappointing, so I have a couple Wireless Access Points. Unfortunately, whilst these WAPs might slightly improve RF coverage, connecting to the Router via one of them only serves to slow down the internet upload and download speeds even further. (Not much point in paying for expensive 4M internet access if I am only achieving a typical download of 500-600k!)
I want to completely replace my 802.11g with 802.11n - to both improve range and throughput. I'm looking at the 'Netgear Range Max Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router' as this also has 2.4GHz (my WiFI radios are only 2.4GHz compatible). Unless, of course, anyone has any good reason to recommend I DON'T purchase it? My problem is that I am struggling to find up to date, accurate information that can advise me on which 802.11n (2.4GHz and 5GHz) PCI cards, PCMCIA and USB Adapters are compatible with SUSE.
Some FreeNX start-up troubles here, need a hand. 1) I am trying to establish a connection from my workplace PC on my workplaces's LAN to my home PC on my private LAN (LAN-to-LAN). Just typing in the public IP of the target LAN in the "Host" field gets me nowhere, as it fails to connect due to a denial at port 22 SSH - even though I've done the forwarding in my home router and punched the required hole in the local firewall of the target machine.
This resembles what I'm looking at: [URL]..2) My home PC is 64-bit Mepis and my workmachine is a 32-bit Ubuntu. Is this a problem?
I have Ubuntu 10.04 x86 installed, trying to get teamspeak 3 beta30.I have followed this guide: http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-in...u-10-04-lucid/
And can not get my network setup correctly to allow people to connect externally from my LAN. I have forwarded every relevant port I could find to the computer hosting TS, I forwarded them first as their respective protocols, and then as the combined UDP/TCP. I tried Forwarding single port numbers, and then port ranges.I have also tried uninstalling selinux.I have tried connecting directly to my cable modem with the server.I had this working perfectly three months ago with all the same software, using the same guide I listed above.The only thing I can imagine has changed is my operating system itself with system updates.
My network looks like:
Comcast cable modem--->Netgear WNR3500L Router----->Ubuntu 10.04 x86 desktop edition
what else I could possibly check? I can connect to and manage the TS server fine using localhost:9987 or 192.168.1.x:9987, it just wont allow any connections from outside the network.
Does anyone know how to contact the people at bugs.kde.org ?I have tried to register but the site is not excepting the @ in my email adress.As a result, I never get the logon info.
I have a D-Link DNS-323 network drive which mounts at multiple points to my filesystem when booting. I had to make some fstab changes when I upgraded from 11.2->11.3 last year, and now the same thing seems to be happening since I've upgraded to 11.4. When I login to my profile the desktop hangs and no icons appear. I cannot open a Nautilus window, or access ALT-F2, however just about every other program works fine. Since I disabled the fstab lines (slightly modified when copied here to generalize):
the desktop icons load and Nautilus works. Can I adjust my fstab syntax to correct this and get my network drives back? I think last year the issue was in referencing the ".creds" file...
I am trying to install the Reading People Tracker release 1.28 in Open Suse 11.2 and, after some solved errors installing external libraries for mathematics, XML and graphical display, I stuck compiling the Reading People Tracker. It shows a lot lot of errors like:
Code: In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.4/string:56, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/locale_classes.h:42, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/ios_base.h:43, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/ios:43, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/istream:40, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/fstream:40, from ../RGB32Image.cc:12: .....
I'm having some trouble with FreeNX on OpenSuse 11.2. I followed the instructions on this page to set up the server on my linux machine, and I'm connecting to it with the Nomachine client for Windows, running on Windows XP x64. It refuses to complete the connection, and the console log from the NX client is as follows code...
I've searched this forum and many web pages on google, but I haven't found anyone with this exact problem. the fact that it can't stat those files suggests to me that it might be a permissions thing, but I wouldn't expect non-root users to EVER have permission to files in any subdirectory of /var, so I sincerely doubt that they would release a program that requires read/write access to such files, and therefore, I am pretty certain it's a configuration issue, although I'm not experienced enough with the NX server to know where to start looking for the failure. Previous attempts with FreeNX and opensuse 10.3 (I am testing 11.2 for a possible upgrade of all of our linux systems here at my office) yielded totally successful results. the fact that there is no NX server included in the DVD distribution of 11.2 seems a little strange to me, as it was included with 10.3, but this is of little significance compared to my real issues.
I have a script that basically adds a zypper repo, then proceeds to install and configure FreeNX.To add the repo:
Code:
zypper addrepo Index of /repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop/openSUSE_11.1 RemoteDesktop
To install FreeNX & it's relevant dependencies:
Code:
zypper install FreeNX
To setup and configure FreeNX:
Code:
nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge sed -i 's/AllowUsers idcuser/AllowUsers idcuser nx/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config service sshd reload
[code]....
After completing these steps on version 11, I can immediately open the FreeNX client (windows 7), and connect. On 11.1, at the very end of the FreeNX connect, just after "Dowloading the session information", I get:
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).NX> 280 Exiting on signal: 15 I've googled this to death, and tried a bunch of random changes to both ssh and nxserver, but I can't seem to get rid of it. What might have changed from 11 to 11.1 that could cause this behavior change? The NXserver seems to be configured and running identical on both systems.
I recently upgraded an openSUSE 11.3 install to 11.4 by downloading the DVD, burning it, & chosing the upgrade option upon booting to it. I used all the upgrade defaults. Upon coming back up, I added the FreeNX zypper repository & installed the latest FreeNX. Connecting via FreeNX works, but I'm not able to see any window menus on any of my applications. They get stuck to the top left corner of the screen &/or they don't have the window border surrounding the window (as in the top bar that contains the minimize/maximize buttons).
Does anyone know what is the best open source proxy solution out there? What we need out of the proxy are the following: Access Control - There should be a web interface for managers to login and create proxy user ID's for external people Good password complexity requirement Lock down the allowed websites

If I wanted to upgrade multiple computers to 10.04 using a location on my local network rather than burn my broadband download quota at 700mb per install, where would I go to get the files or archive containing the upgrade?
I have recently upgraded to 10.04 and subsequently to 10.10. I have a network printer Lexmark C530dn. Before the upgrade to 10.04 it work OK. After the upgrade i have this problem: When i print something it goes right to completed jobs, without an error and without printing. My user is allowed to print, I checked that.
this is from the access log: localhost - - [08/Nov/2010:20:38:58 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 253 Create-Printer-Subscription successful-ok localhost - - [08/Nov/2010:20:39:10 +0100] "POST /printers/Lexmark-C530 HTTP/1.1" 200 205765 Print-Job successful-ok
When i print the self-test page, it prints fine, so I assume the problem's in the system rather than the printer.

Well I get my other 2 questions answered , I have one last question that has been buggy me.Anyone know why windows use so many files just to keep the OS going and so bloated? The under line of files of windows is messy and loads self every where and very bloated with windows and windows vista and windows 7 very much so.I'm not sure if Linux /Mac OS X is like this or not .
I know windows needs to support alot more software and hardwar but is that not where drivers come in for the hardware.And programmers need to write the software for windows or Linux / Mac OS X.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-20-generic) and I've installed my camera (Microdia Win2 PC Camera 0c45:613b) and it works fine and everything locally. But as soon as it connects to a contact on MSN or skype and I've tried a web chatroom aswell. and same issue.
Now is it the Camera? 'Coz when I've had the cam installed on Windows XP it wouldn't work on MSN either. But if it the camera then, why does it work locally like it should on the net....
i'm trying to find a convenient way to share files without having to upload to a server via FTP. i suppose ubuntuone might work, but i have no idea whether the files can be made public
What do people generally do with FLAC files? Do they directly play them either with a stand-alone player or with the computer or, on the contrary, they first create audio CDs with them? Please understand my post is not about not knowing what a FLAC file is. I've used programs that create an audio CD from a FLAC file many times and also, others that haven't been converted, I play them directly.
