Hello listmates, I have recently installed NX server, after switching to openSUSE 11.1. However, I can't seem to log in. It used to work beautifully on openSUSE 10.3. What I did is the following: - First of all, to install the NX server, I added the following repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop/openSUSE_11.1/ the connection. This takes a while, after which the client responds with:

From that This resulted in the following packages being installed:

• FreeNX

• NX

• freenx-client

• libnxcl1

• After that, I ran nxsetup, which completed without errors. On the client, I installed version 3.3.0-6 of the NX Client for Linux from NoMachine. I chose this client because in the past, I have had bad experiences with the FreenNX client. The NoMachine client has always worked well for me.

• Trying with the QtNX client, the client simply seems to freeze, without doing anything after starting the connection.

• Up launching the NX client and entering the connection details, I start

"Session startup failed". In the detail window, it says a lot more: NX> 105 /usr/bin/nxserver: line 1371: 13828 Terminated sleep $AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT NX> 596 Session startup failed. NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1. To troubleshoot set SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in node.conf and investigate "/home/<user>/.nx/F-C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/session". You might also want to try: ssh -X myserver; /usr/bin/nxnode --agent to test the basic functionality. Session log follows: Can't open /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C}: No such file or directory. mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C}'NX> 1006 Session status: closed : No such file or directory NX> 280 Exiting on signal: 15 FOllowing the troubleshooting advice above, I have set SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in /etc/nxserver/node.conf I also tried the command "ssh -X myserver; /usr/bin/nxnode --agent" to test the basic connection from the client. This gives me the following error on the console: NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0) NX> 716 Starting NX Agent ... Error: Aborting session with 'Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again'. Session: Aborting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:07:26 2009'. Session: Session aborted at 'Thu Jun 4 11:07:26 2009'. NX> 716 NX Agent exited with status: 1 NX> 1001 Bye. I find this odd, since to me this seems to be a problem with X authorization, not something to do with NX. I have confirmed that while X (KDE) is running, no one is logged into the machine at this point. I have also investigated /home/<user>/.nx/F-C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/session, to see if there is some more information there. There, it lists the following: NXAGENT - Version 3.2.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Agent running with pid '15613'. Session: Starting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '15613'. Info: Waiting for connection from '127.0.0.1' on port '5000'. Info: Aborting the procedure due to signal '15'. Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/home/<user>/.nx/C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/options:1000''. Session: Aborting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. Session: Session aborted at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. I enabled logging in /etc/nxserver/node.conf, and the same information is logged there. I am a bit stumped as to what to try now. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? I'll be grateful for any help or tips which help me solve this.
