Description JM 2008-05-11 00:46:52 UTC

I have the problem that the nx version 3.1.0-25.1.fc8 doesn't work with Gnome as Desktop, on the 
server the nxagent fails with an segfault:

May 11 02:10:30 foo kernel: nxagent[7717]: segfault at 00000010 eip 0806beac esp bf960c70 error 4

When I use KDE as Desktop I can login without problems but the old nx version 2.1.0-22.fc7 works for 
Gnome and KDE (same system, just switched the RPMs). 

I have the problem on 3 systems with Fedora 8 and nx 3.1.0-25.1.fc8 (32bit and 64bit).

This are the nx RPMs which create the segfault with Gnome

nx-3.1.0-25.1.fc8
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc8

and this are the working RPMs:

nx-2.1.0-22.fc7
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc8

I tried also this hint http://www.ultranetsolutions.com/Fedora-8-NoMachine-NX-and-Gnome-Issues-
RESOLVED.html but it doesn't work for me, the nxagent creates still a segfault.

Comment 1 Axel Thimm 2008-08-26 18:51:12 UTC

There are new updates for nx/freenx-server for F9 and F8:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/nx-3.2.0-30.fc9,freenx-server-0.7.3-11.fc9
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/nx-3.2.0-30.fc8,freenx-server-0.7.3-11.fc8

The packages are schedules to be released in updates-testing first, but you can already pull them manually from the URLs above.

Please check whether the reported issue still applies to these packages. Thanks!

Comment 2 JM 2008-08-27 03:04:48 UTC

It looks like that the bug is gone with the new versions, but now I run into a new bug it's the missing /tmp/.X11-unix directory (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437655 or http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenx.general/6015). I create now the directory (if it is missing) on startup but maybe you can include a initscript which creates the directory if it is missing.
