In Bug 379761 a logrotate file was added, and thus now instead of freenx-0.7.0-2.fc7 a new (updated) version freenx-0.7.1-3.fc7 is available. Sadly this version seeems very much broken. If I try to login with nxclient, I get a list of all active VNC-connections which other users have opened. (We allow connections with VNC and NX). Attached is a screenshot (taken from the Windows client). Before everything worked with 0.7.0-2 nicely and the VNC sessions were not shown.
Created attachment 285961 [details] nxclient screenshot showing VNC sessions
freenx-0.7.1-2.fc7 is broken the same way as well. freenx-0.7.1-1.fc7 isn't available for fc7, but only for fc9
This is apparently fixed upstream: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenx.general/cutoff=6809
Jack, the link you posted here seems wrong. Could you please verify and give a direct link to where you saw that this bug is fixed ? THX, Helge
My apologies for the bogus link. Please see the thread starting with http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenx.general/6330 Also see the freenx-0.7.2 release announcement http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenx.general/6810
This is a collective comment for freenx bugs. There is a new release packaged as freenx-server-0.7.2-7 in rawhide and soon in updates-testing. Please test it and see whether it fixed your report. Also note that freenx has been split into freenx-server and freenx-client. All current open bug reports will move to freenx-server once it is created in bugzilla.
freenx has been split into freenx-server and freenx-client. Most open bugs for freenx addressed parts of the current freenx-server package. See also bug #438660. freenx-server is currently in testing repos. Please give it a try as it will soon replace the freenx package.
Hi Axel, I have problems installing freenx-server: [root@ls3162 ~]# yum install freenx-server Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package freenx-server.i386 0:0.7.2-7.fc7 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: nx for package: freenx-server --> Processing Dependency: /usr/share/nx for package: freenx-server --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib/nx for package: freenx-server --> Running transaction check ---> Package nx.i386 0:3.1.0-25.1.fc7 set to be updated ---> Package freenx-server.i386 0:0.7.2-7.fc7 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: /usr/share/nx for package: freenx-server --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/share/nx is needed by package freenx-server
Yes, this was a known bug (bug #443329) and is fixed in testing for a couple of days, please retry installing.
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc7 seems OK after some basic testing. Full testing ist still outstanding and I sadly won't be able to do it in short time frame. I don't understand the DISPLAY_BASE change (old:1000, new:2000) though: + #JJK: DISPLAY_BASE=1000 + #JJK: Change DISPLAY_BASE to 2000 to avoid conflict of DISPLAY_BASE+7000 with nasd + DISPLAY_BASE=2000 (see: http://www.progressive-comp.com/?l=freenx-knx&m=119928349602913&w=3) This requires, that we have to change a few scripts (although not complicated). My current proposal would be: Push it to the updates repo, since this package is much better than what's currently in FC7 updates (and it works at least!!). Thanks! Helge
OK, the push has been requested. Thanks for the feedback!
