FreeNX issue

rekahsoft · 2012-07-11 09:38:56

Hi all..I am trying to connect to my freenx server (i have set up freenx before with ssh public key auth + passwd auth). Anyways i am having a weird issue. I connect using opennx and get the following error dialog:

The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication credentials passed to the server.

The logs read as follows from the client:
~/.nx/session-name/session:

NXPROXY - Version 3.5.0

~/.nx/session-name/stats is empty

On the server:

I am using the exact same configs for my other freenx server which is working fine (this includes /etc/sshd/sshd_config and /etc/nxserver/node.conf) so i have no idea why this is happening? Any ideas?

i have got the same problem on my raspberry pi.

any ideas to track down the problem?

thx & rgds

i am experiencing this on my pi too..quiet upsetting..my guess right now is that the nx proxy times out before being able to negotiate a session with the client. Tried setting AGENT_STARTUP_TIME to 120 instead of the default 60 and it doesn't help. Auth works so i don't know why this is happening and google doesn't have anything (i spent a few hours looking into this). If you figure out anything i'd love to hear about it

hcjl: I assume its never worked on your pi?

@rekahsoft: yep, it never worked. although it is the same setup as i use on my other machines (x86 and x86_64).

for me it sounds like a bug of the arm version of freenx. maybe we should file a bug report, but i do not know where. on archlinuxarm.org i could not find anything.

hcjl · 2012-07-17 10:29:38

i opened a bug report https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/issues/203

sorry, but i used your logs, cause i am a lazy ass;-)

rekahsoft · 2012-07-17 18:19:35

lol thanks hcjl i was lazy myself and was hoping i wouldn't have to file a bug report..so all good glad i could save you the time Going to try playing with it today..i'll let you know if i achieve anything

hcjl · 2012-07-19 21:37:49

still no progress, but do have any further information, which could help?

Hi Friends, I got the same problem too: On my Raspberry Pi, following this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FreeNX I got the same errors you got too.

Any new ideas?? I google alot without success...

hcjl · 2012-08-03 07:56:36

no, the problem still exists. and kmihelich closed my bug report (link in my former post), because debug information was insufficient. but i couldn't provide more...

on i686 or x86_64 i could use x2go, but there is no arm version available.

undici77 · 2012-08-03 09:43:49

Hi hcjl,
do you know which debug info he need? I have all environment ready on my Rasp and my Win 7 with noMachine client.

hcjl · 2012-08-03 10:54:01

i have no clue what kind of info he needs.

as a workaround i now installed x2goserver on my pi. i built it from aur. i just hat to change the arch flag in the pkgbuilds from

arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

to

arch=('any')

.

it's a bit slow via adsl, but it works.

there's also a wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X2go and a windows client available http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start.

hopefully freenx will work in the future, because it has much better performance than x2go.

Hi hcjl,
I have compiled x2go server from this link http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18028 with all dependencies and I follow the arch linux guide about x2go but it's still not running.

With the client (from windows) I can see "connecting..." and nothing more...

I have a fresh arch linux installation and LXDE.
I setup .xinitrc in my user (alessandro) and nothing more...

Can you explain me what have you done?

Thanks

hcjl · 2012-08-10 13:41:07

are you able to ssh into your server, e.g. via putty?

in x2client i chose "alternative desktop environment" (i do not know whether this exactly the name, i just translated it from german) an i start lxde with "exec startlxde".

it takes a while, but then the sessions starts.

Yes, I can log in with ssh.
Better, my user (admin) with startx launch the execution of lxde (i add .xinitrc in my home).

This is the log from x2goclient:

Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '7076'.
Session: Starting session at 'Fri Aug 10 16:45:23 2012'.
Info: Connecting to remote host 'localhost:30007'.
Info: Connection to remote proxy 'localhost:30007' established.
Connection timeout

I tried with exec startx from "custom command" but it's not running...

Hello undici77, you sent your comment to the mods via report.

OK!!! I have done it!!
It was a very stupid thing:
My client was an old version.
With the last version everything is working and the performances are not so bad...
Honestly It's fast like FreeNX. Only login is really slow....
Thanks for help!!

About 4 minutes after this.
