 Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 4:53 pm Post subject: FreeNX-0.5.0-r3 |
 |
|
Here it is. nxserver-freenx-0.5.0-r3 portage overlay.
http://titanix.net/~jake/freenx-overlay.tar.gz
Here's a howto for newbies who don't know much about portage overlay:
We use portage overlay, so on next sync, we don't loose our files.
Add this to your make.conf
| Code: | | PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage |
Create dir
| Code: | | #mkdir /usr/local/portage |
Download freenx-overlay.tar.gz to /usr/local/portage. Change dir and extract.
| Code: | #cd /usr/local/portage
#tar xjvf freenx-overlay.tar.gz |
There you go. Now just emerge nxserver-freenx.
If it is trying to install older version than nxserver-freenx-0.5.0-r3, you might need to use:
| Code: | | #ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nxserver-freenx |
But it would be better to add ~x86 keyword to /etc/portage/package.keywords:
| Code: | | echo "net-misc/nxserver-freenx ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords |
If you encounter troubles with portage overlay, don't bug me.. read docs.
Okay, what new in this version? Changelog:
| Code: |
FreeNX 0.5.0-r3 * Patch utilization and bugfix update by Oskari Rauta
* gcc4 patch utilization for nxcomp and libraries that link with nxcomp
* pic-r1 patch utilization for nxcomp and libraries that link with
nxcomp
* Added patch for detecting and working out with keyboard issue
of Xorg-x11 =>7.0 ( in file /usr/NX/bin/nxnode )
* Fixed list of dependencies
* Fixed /etc/env.d/50nxcomp to contain path to NX binaries
* Added creation of /etc/init.d/nxserver statup script
* Upgraded NX components to latest 1.5.0-* versions
* Fixed some outdated dead download links
* new ebuild version, nx*-1.5.0-r3 and nxserver-freenx-0.5.0-r3
to make sure that newest+compatible versions are being used.
* Beautified and corrected issues in ebuilds
|
Hopefully someone can download it and is willing to host it, since titanix.net ain't that sure.. |

I would like to try this, but it seems it requires modular X (v7), is it not able to work with the current stable (in portage) release of X?
BTW. It should be | Code: | | #tar xzvf freenx-overlay.tar.gz |
to extract. |

Thanx.
Yeah. You can strip down x11-* from depends of nx-x11 and then it will work with <Xorg-x11 7.0
then remove files/digest* and re-create it
| Code: | | #ebuild nx-x11*.ebuild digest |
in nx-x11 folder.
I put those depends there because it was such a pain to compile and then re-compile again after I noticed
that I missed some modular X stuff. It now has everything that is dependant for proper functionality, but it might still need some dialog parts or something for broadcasting messages to nx-clients.. i have pretty much all parts of modular X now, so I can't test this, but yeah, someone else (I think I've already done my share  ) could change ebuild in the way that it would detect if X>=7.0 and alter DEPENDS in that case.
Check out the patch I made for detecting X version and integrate that to ebuild. Btw. Thanks to Lieto for great conversation about parsing.. Or maybe if I get some free time, will do it by myself too..
After that, this ebuild would be pretty much complete for the current version.. |

The problem is not with my build. Change your node.conf so it won't remove sesion logs,
| Code: |
SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0
|
This way, session files in directory .nx under user's home dirs won't be cleaned out when session ends.
Check files there, propably you get a hint from file "session" or "errors" what could be wrong, check all files for hints.
Setting up NX, isn't easy and it took me a long time until I got it working. Now I am running with this ebuild and it works really good. You might be missing part of X or some command or the problem could lie somewhere else, find out.
Also set
in your node.conf, and check logfile /var/log/nxserver.log
That's pretty useless log, you find out what's wrong from that session file.
Also check log outputted by your nxclient, usually that's useless, but making NX to work is hard work as
it needs so many dependencies, I made most of 'em dependencies in this ebuild but I didn't start with
fresh system, so there is a possibility that something was forgotten.
When you find out, put a message to this thread so others can find it out too.
Hopefully you get it to work.. |

If you are using NX client version 1.5.0, have you edited the file /usr/NX/etc/node.conf and set ENABLE_1_5_0_BACKEND to 1?

jake1981, you might want to include a patch that updates nxsetup to the latest version. The one included with v0.5.0 is an old one. The one that comes with the version tagged as 0.4.5 is a lot newer. There are many enhancements done to it, so it's worth a look. Just browse the svn server for it and read the changelog for 0.4.5 to find out what changed in the new nxsetup. You may want to compare the nxserver with this release to that of 0.4.3 or so to see if any specific 0.5.0 stuff was added, but I don't think there was last time I checked. So, I think you can just replace the file completely with no worries.
Cheers.

actually, not starting okay locally... same complaint about RGB_DB
edit:
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
ln -s /usr/lib/X11/rgb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
Workaround... new nxagent fixed?
Oh btw, thanks! the ebuild and nxserver works |

Version 0.4.5 and 0.5.0 are in the SVN. They are tagged, but they were not officially announced on the site. In fact, a lot of the new versions have not been announced there. The Debian mirrors have a lot of the newer versions because I think thy just pull them from the SVN repository.

Hello,
Sorry to bother, but when I try to | Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv nxserver-freenx |
there are still some packages masked. No problem, I add them to the package.unmask. But when I then try again, it seems that nx-x11 still depends on x11 6.8 (I check with -pvt). Suggestions?
| jake1981 wrote: | | Hopefully someone can download it and is willing to host it, since titanix.net ain't that sure.. |
Temp mirror if your host goes down. I hope it's useful. |

Edit the nx-x11 ebuild and remove the "virtual/x11" line in the RDEPEND section.

Hello,
I got it working on my amd64, compiled in chroot
using this command btw:
| Code: | | nxsetup --clean --setup-nomachine-key --install --purge |
I were always getting an error on user creation: invalid group -d
changing SETUP_GID="" to SETUP_GID="users" inside nxsetup fixed it
-------
finally with your ebuild works also my keyboard layout, thank you very much |

The tarball that this ebuld uses is months old. The new pre-releases of 0.5.0 are in the snapshots directory. the Ebuild for the lastest one is here:
http://svn.gnqs.org/svn/gentoo-nx-overlay/
All the nx components have been updated as well, with xorg 7 depends, and it is not hard coded to xorg 7 either, you can still use 6.8 with this. So, try them out, modify them, abuse them, ...  If there are any problems, just file a bug report here:
http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-nx-overlay/
Hopefully everything goes well.
Cheers and have fun.

I am getting an error when trying to emerge using stifflerStealths svn
svn co http://svn.gnqs.org/svn/gentoo-nx-overlay/testing/net-misc
| Code: |
emerge -p nxserver-freenx
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B ] x11-libs/libXft (is blocking x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6)
[ebuild UD] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 [7.0-r1] USE="3dnow% bitmap-fonts% mmx% nls% opengl% pam% sse% truetype-fonts% type1-fonts% xv% -cjk% -debug% -dlloader% -dmx% -doc% -font-server% -insecure-drivers% -ipv6% -minimal% -nocxx% -sdk% -static% -xprint%"
[ebuild N ] virtual/x11-6.8
|
Is there something I need to do to get this to work with modular x?
if I try removing virtual/x11 I get teh following
| Code: |
# emerge -p nxserver-freenx
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies /
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "x11-libs/libXFS".
(dependency required by "net-misc/nx-x11-1.5.0-r7" [ebuild])
|
I found the answer to be from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg
| Code: |
'emerge -u world' wants to install xorg-x11 6.x or virtual/x11
This is because the tree isn't fixed for modular dependencies yet. You can help the porting effort by reading the Porting to Modular X HowTo and filing bugs with patches to the individual package maintainers. The maintainers will be listed in metadata.xml in the same directory as the package and the herdstat package will speed up querying for them.
[edit]
Workaround
add
virtual/x11-6.8
to your /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

|
|
If you are successfully connecting, getting the logo, and then it just exits, read on.
I was able to authenticate, but then the session was just ending.
It turns out that I had a line in my .profile that was causing my nxsession to exit.
(I was exec'ing /bin/bash under certain conditions.)
If you are getting passed authentication and getting the logo and then it just disappears, you might want
to try renaming or gutting your .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, ... files and see if it helps.
I think saw someone ask about this problem many pages back, but never saw an answer.
Hopefully this may help someone. |
