running nx server on knippix 3.3
Well, Im running nx server on knoppix 3.3 hd install and its very fast compared to a
windows terminal server. It was easy to install, but I have a font problem so its not
perfect yet. All text show up as boxes and I have not found out how to fix this yet.

metavoid, would you consider posting a quick "howto" for this thread? I would be interested in how you configured sources.list and what apt-get commands you ran for installation. Post installation, I would be interested in how you configure the server and start the service to accept connections from remote clients.
This is something that I have been meaning to do on a remaster, and I would LOVE to benefit from anothers experiences.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

I didn't do anything wild.
1) I download the deb files from nomachine.com
2) Installed the clint first (important) with dpkg --install
then the server same way. No errors.
3) then went to nx home folder
cd /usr/NX/bin
4) added a user
nxserver --useradd knoppix
4) started ssh, maybe you should use nxssh
5) Started the server with
nxserver start
6) started the nxclient and it just connected.
There was a font problem. I fixed that by setting all
font to luxi sans inside the client using kcontrol.
Nothing more.

Darn, was hoping you had used the GPL'ed versions available from Kalyxo (http://www.kalyxo.org/debian/) Maybe I'll try the commercial version first since it is an easier install, and I can see what a working system would work like.
Has anyone loaded the GPL'ed version (freenx server)? I know they kludged a system together for LinuxTAG, and I would like to do the same thing.

Little boxes instead of letters

I'm having that problem too. Does anyone know how to fix it?
In my case the client is running on a Debian system. I grabbed the client from http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/nx/nxclient-1.4.0.tar.gz. The server is Knoppix 3.6 from the CD. If I have the knoppix system be a client for its own server, the problem doesn't appear. Nothing shows up in my ~/.nx/S-Knoppix-1000-3FDD3A283E7600EC3AEFC3F8B1E27113/errors.

UPDATE:
I changed the font to luxi and it was displayed normally.
I simply connected to the server and sat the font inside the session and
all boxes went away.

With Fabian's help, I have put together a klik installation for the FreeNX server and NoMachine NX client (this is a 7.2 MB download).
You can install it from http://klik.berlios.de (direct link: klik://nx if you have the klik client installed). I have tested it with Knoppix 3.3
The klik installation automatically leads you through creating a user and starting the server and client.

Very nice. Thanks probono. This is quite nice and I imagine it will come in handy for a lot of people.

Hmm. It doesn't seem to be working for me. Granted I am running an old knoppix install, but most klik apps run without any problem.
I get the following error message when I try to install the NX stuff from Konqueror:
Error starting /home/knoppix/wrapper in order to use nx.
When I try running the wrapper from the command line, I get the following message:
./wrapper: line 23: /home/knoppix/nx/nxstart: No such file or directory
Upon further investigation I see that there is a copy of nxserver.tar.gz inside ~/nx. Something is wrong with this file. If I do, tar zxvf nxserver.tar.gz, I get the following message:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
It would seem that the, klik script cannot open this file. I have tried installing three or four times now and I always get the same result. Anyone else having a problem like this?

PB, I tested this with Knoppix 3.4v5-17-4 and all is well. However, what I REALLY want is to remaster with this service on version 3.4
Can you tell me what .deb packages you used to get this working? I remastered using the packages on this link
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...light=nxserver
and got beau coupe errors when trying to run it (missing config files, can't find dis and dat, etc.)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
