FreeNX Time-out

[malcolmlewis]

Okay, it’s working fine now. Turns out that my slimmed down selection of
KDE packages didn’t include some X fonts and etc; with all those
installed (and my loopback interface up) it works like a charm! Thanks,
malcolmlewis!

So to sum it up, I made sure there was no previous freeNX installation,
deleted any existing /usr/NX/ directory as well as ~/.nx, installed the
rpms from nomachine.com, made sure my loopback device was up (ifconfig
lo up), installed some X libraries that I was missing (the default
patterns “X Window System” and “Fonts” should be enough) and it works
fine!. I can attribute my problems to my loopback interface not being
properly configured at boot (I don’t have a clue why) and my lean
selection of X related packages (as this is supposed to be a “server”).

If anyone could enlighten me as to how to label this thread as SOLVED I
would appreciate it!

Hi
Read your other thread about lo not coming up… strange that one!

I think you will find nx over ssh faster than using vnc etc as X by
itself is very bandwidth consuming.

Glad you got it sorted
