Have you tried to enable ssl encryption in the client ? If you're server is behind a fw/router that does port-forwarding of ssh (TCP/22), then you need to enable ssl. If not, you can try starting nxagent in a console-window to see if you get any errors - there was a discussion here earlier on how to do that. If I remember correctly, I think I had something similar to this after a upgrade of FreeNX, and in my case it was only resolved by completely removing FreeNX + config, and reinstall it... (but this may be something completely different since my memory may be faulty on this ;-)) /Terje _______________________________________________ FreeNX-kNX mailing list FreeNX-kNX <at> kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/freenx-knx
I recently built freenx from scratch on a Sparc/Debian box, and had problems with nxagent, which was hard to troubleshoot.  I've written up the details, and will post it somewhere useful sometime, but here's the section on how I managed to get nxagent working.  Note that I used the commercial directory structure (/usr/NX), not the freenx structure under var.......

Library Troubleshooting

12.  After authentication, my session startup failed.

    NX> 1004 Error: nxagent failed to start. Session timed out.

So it looks like nxagent isn't working.  Trying to run nxagent manually fails, so it looks like I haven't built it yet.  Or rather, it has installed it elsewhere!  I searched and found the (new) version and copied it across:
    cp /usr/X11R6/bin/nxagent /usr/NX/bin

However, nxagent was still failing.  Tried to test it using instructions from the mailing list:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/NX/lib" /usr/NX/bin/nxagent :1000

    /usr/NX/bin/nxagent: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/NX/lib/libXext.so.6: ELF file data encoding not big-endian

Again, it appears that the make install in the X11 directory copies stuff into the X11R6 directory, so I need to update the NX/lib:

    cp /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 /usr/NX/lib/
    cp /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1.2 /usr/NX/lib/
    cp /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 /usr/NX/lib/

Yes, I know, I should have linked it.  But it was late!


Of course, your problem could be completely different, but you never know!

regards,

Brendan.
