FreeNX - Barring me from accessing remote server.

Post by ionix » 2007/04/16 06:46:46

I have been using NX earlier today installing savane onto the server.
The installation complete with everything working. I was logged on the NX at that time, but i reboot the server using SSH with putty

After the reboot, the FreeNX server starts to stop me from accessing it.

The error log on the NoMachine Client is as follows:

I did not have it runnig on CentOS 5, but it seems that you need to cleanup NX (server and client) probably some sessions weren't closed correctly.

I had this happen to me yesterday --

Here are some things to try / check:

1. updated my client to 2.1.0.17 from www.nomachine.com
2. nxserver --help to get a list of commands. Did a nxserver --restart
3. I cleaned out my ssh folder on my windows box - c:\documents and settings\username\ssh
4. Check the settings for the client and make sure that it is actually set for gnome
5. Also - I noticed that you are logging in as root -- in the sshd_conf file - is root login allowed?
6. Have you created an account in nxserver?
nxserver --adduser username
nxserver --passwd username

Hope this helps...

Maybe you have some stale NX sessions. Try as root

[code]
# nxserver --cleanup
[/code]

Hi guys.

I am not able to resolve it... with all the methods you guys have suggested.

My NX server is totally broken and i do not know how to return it to what is used to be.

My only resort now for this server is to reformat the server.
