 Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2006 10:39 am Post subject: Installing NX Server Free Edition (not FreeNX) |
 |
|
Can someone provide some instructions on how to install the NX Server Free Edition, available from http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1 ?
It is not in portage, and the downloads only offer DEB, RPM and compressed TAR packages. I assume it is possible to use one of these versions in Gentoo without any hassles, but I am not sure what steps are involved?
In addition, how would I go about starting the server automatically during the boot process? Is it as simple as using rc-update or do I need to make a script as well?
Thanks. |

I would also be interested in this. I have read a few howtos for FreeNX but also from what I read the NoMachines free version is much more stable and has less issues than FreeNX.
Has anyone here successfully setup the "Official" free version of NXserver by NoMachines ?
At the time of posting the the version available is: nxserver-2.0.0-76
I have searched the forums, the wiki as well as bugzilla with no information on this.
Thanks to anyone who has anything to share!
Cheers,
TightCode
Post Scriptum: Another thing of interest is the newly OpenSourced 2X TerminalServer:

new_to_non_X86, As the title of this thread and the two posts (nondystam's and mine), we are discussing NX Server Free Edition, which is NOT FreeNX. Would you happen to have any experience with it ?
Thanks!

Hi,
At the moment I'm replacing an Ubuntu nxserver with a Gentoo nxserver. I also want to use the Nomachine free for ever edition. I installed the nxserver in the following way:
| Code: |
cd /usr
tar xvzf /.../nxnode-2.0.0-100.i386.tar.gz
tar xvzf /.../nxclient-2.0.0-98.i386.tar.gz
tar xvzf /.../nxserver-2.0.0-76.i386.tar.gz
emerge lib-compat
/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode --install debian
/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver --install debian
|
I've choosen debian, because I believe this system is nearest to gentoo, the install scripts warns about missing /et/rc.d directories, but in my setup the nxserver is startet while the connect clients, not as a daemon. I believe this is the normal case, a daemon is only used in greater installations. But I'm not absolutely sure.
A connection with the linux nxclient will fail at this moment because no fonts (esp. fixed) can be found. nxnode will search them in the old XFree-Dirs, so you must add this to /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg:
| Code: | | AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X="-fp /usr/share/fonts/default/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi" |
Now a gnome-session will be started. I've installed only gnome-light at this moment, nxclient will need qt, but the nxserver uses only some files of nxclient, so it seems that nxserver works even with no qt installed.
I haven't tested anything more at this time, but I think its a good base to do more testing by yourself.
HTH & excuse my english, Maurice

I was also wondering about, but NX installs in a seperate directory /usr/NX so its not too complicated to install or deinstall it manually.
BTW: A few month ago, 2x has released a NX-Server and -client under the gpl, but it seems nobody is working on a ebuild right now. If I have more time, I will try to bring this in portage.

I'don't found anything usefull on the web about "EVP_idea_c/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: undefined symbol: EVP_idea_cbc"
also I don't understand why the option --login is not list in the help of nxserver command, but is not so importan i think
Have you any idea?
Thanks a lot Dario |

resolved my litle problem.
- mask the latest openssl ebuild (openssl-0.9.8c-r2)
- downgrade openssl (actualy I've installed openssl-0.9.7k)
- revdep-rebuild
- /etc/init.d/sshd restart

Do you use an unstable system? Here is 0.97k the latest stable version, 0.9.8* is ~arch-masked.
But good to know, if 0.9.8 will be marked as stable an my nxserver stops working.

Sorry, I was ssh'ed to an outdated gentoo machine, at the moment I looked for this. You are right, openssl-0.9.8 is stable, and my nxserver is also running with openssl-0.9.8c-r2. This is a fresh install with Gentoo 2006.1 so I believe there was never an older version of openssl installed.
If you upgrade openssl again, an do then a revdep-rebuild, nxserver should also be running.
HTH Maurice

Depending on what fonts you have installed, this will vary. Instead of copying the above, I suggest just getting your current Xorg fontpath and use that:
| Code: | | grep FontPath /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
Otherwise, thanks for the information - I'm now running the free NX client/server between home and office, and it's working great! |

hi,
With a new fresh installation the problem appear again, now with dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d.
| Code: |
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
nxserver: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: undefined symbol: EVP_idea_cbc

same solution to bypass the problem.
Strange I'm the only one with this error?

Has anyone else encountered this kind of problem? I can't connect to server and after a while I noticed everything is not set properly as you can see from the warnings above.
Ebuilds would be great. I could even try do do those by myself if I only could get this thing up and running. |

hi jroo,
in the log:
| Code: |
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
NX> 204 Authentication failed..
|
the publickey authentication doesn't work.
I suggest you to verify your ssh configuration /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the line: "AuthorizedKeysFile"
and then verify the file in the folder /usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh/ the name must be identical and the file must have the public keys of nx server
if this is not your solution maybe you hava regenerated the key pairs for publickey authentication so you need to enter in the AuthorizedKeysFile the new public key that you can find in the file "/usr/NX/etc/keys/node.localhost.id_dsa.pub"

It seems like nxssh is failing and I tried to run nxssh from command line. And the result was:
| Code: | # /usr/NX/bin/nxssh
/usr/NX/bin/nxssh: error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
Isn't that library from package libXcomposite? I have version 1.3.1 installed. And I'm using Xorg 7 -- could that be the problem? |

Oh my. It was the font problem that has been resolved above 
Now I'm running with NXserver. Thanks for the help. If I have time, I might try to do ebuild for nxserver |

I downloaded this from experimental feed in NX overlay..
Installation worked just fine, expect when I tried it, I got a licensing issue error, even though this was supposed to be
FREE-EDITION. Well, this was mentioned in overlay browser..
So I thought about trying something, I first thought that I'd install nxserver with help of this thread ( install for debian )
and backup files from that (well, mostly server.lic and other license files) and then install it and use licenses from that first install.
Well, first thing I noticed, there's updated versions of nxnode and nxserver-freeedition on nomachine's site, so I first
enabled ebuild to download these versions:
nxnode-2.1.0-12.i386.tar.gz
nxserver-2.1.0-13.i386.tar.gz
Then I installed:
| Code: |
mainframe usr# emerge -avt =net-misc/nxclient-2.1.0 =net-misc/nxserver-freeedition-2.1.0 =net-misc/nxnode-2.1.0
|
Before copying licenses from backup I tested, and TADAH! It works..
No need to copy licenses, you just need to use these updated versions..
Okay, I got that fixed, could someone post these instructions to bugs.gentoo.org ?
What now? Well, the trickiest part  My nxclient on my windows machine is broken, when it tries to contact
to X, connection fails Happy that I was able to fix ebuild for nxserver-freeedition, it propably
was the easier part than fixing stuff for windows.. okay, going googling for some tips..
EDIT:
Second fix comes here.. I noticed that I wasn't able to connect even from localhost because of a small font issue..
ebuild needs to be modified to create a symlink if xorg>7.0 is used.. Well, it propably won't hurt to create this symlink
anyway, as it fails if xorg < 7.0 since directory already exists in that location..
Okay.. Here's a fix..
| Code: |
mainframe usr# ln -s /usr/share/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
|
EDIT2:
Init script for nxsensor is broken. Find this part from script to fix it:
| Code: |
start() {
is_enabled || return 1
ebegin "Starting nxsensor"
$NX_SENSOR_CMD -a $NX_SENSOR_HOST -a ":ffff:$NX_SENSOR_HOST" -P $NX_SENSOR_PORT -d
|
and remove -a ":ffff:$NX_SENSOR_HOST"
This will make it work as it should. Unfortunately I'm a little busy now and I don't have time and resources
from my other tasks for fixing ebuild, I just gave a list this time for what is needed to make it work.
So if someone just would merge all this to ebuilds, it would be good enough even for main portage.. |

OK I finally have a working solution! jake1981, I don't know how you got a working setup, since the ebuilds did not manage the node.lic license file. Thanks to the NoMachine support FAQs for pointing the problem.
The problem was: nxnode needs to install its license file, and needs to install it BEFORE the nxserver (which will edit the node license file to Unlimited in the install process). So I updated the nxnode ebuild to install correctly its license file. I also fixed the nxsensor init script (some tests were incorrect if you had default values in node.cfg, which resulted in the NX_SENSOR_HOST error). I also fixed the ebuilds to provide amd64 support! With that I deployed the server on a few boxes in no time
Now to add something about the fonts problem and it will be good-for-all (TM)
I'll attach the patch to the nx overlay in the bugreport, or if you are only interested in the free edition ebuilds, you can grab them in my overlay here

| Thanks guys. Using Voyageur's net-misc overlay and jake1981's font fix makes everything work perfectly. This all works so much better than FreeNX was. I wonder how long until we can have this into Portage? |

I updated the server ebuild to create the fonts link (if it does not exist and if modular X is installed), should prevent those disturbing errors for NX newcomers!
For inclusion in portage, there are still many problems/annoyances: the rpath_security_checks() alerts, handling a nxnode re-emerge after the server (we must take care NOT to overwrite the node license file), handling of other existing files in /usr/NX (former freenx install?), correct DEPENDs (and blockers, like freenx) and a few other things like that may be needed to make the ebuild "portage-quality". Any help is appreciated

Some updates in my overlay:- Bumped to latest Nomachine's releases
- No need for the fonts link anymore (finally fixed in nomachine's binaries!)
- Updated dependencies (mostly emul-* for amd64, and glib-1.2 for x86 nxsensor)
- License files are not overwritten anymore (should help updating)
- Nomachine's install scripts are ran only when no configuration is found
(else update scripts are ran)
The ebuilds did not get a revision bump, so those already running an earlier server should re-emerge nxnode with nxserver-freeedition.
Also, if you encounter "not valid subscription" problems, first un-merge both nxnode and nxserver and then re-emerge them (removing the entire /usr/NX should not be necessary)
