I would like to try NoMachine ver instead of FreeNX - do I need to uninstall the distro ver of NX and FreeNX before installing NoMachine’s ver? Are they likely to cause issues if not removed?
Thank you…
Hi
Yes, uninstall before installing the ones from nomachine. Also
uninstall any client ones you have and install the version from
nomachine as well.

Thank you malcolmlewis, I found some of your other posts about NoMachine and thought that I would give it a go…
cheers
Nuts…I think I’m stuck…
I ran…
rpm -i nxclient-3.2.0-14.i386.rpm
and
rpm -i nxnode-3.2.0-13.i386.rpm
then
“planb:/data/raid/public/Incoming # rpm -i nxserver-3.2.0-16.i386.rpm
package nxserver-3.2.0-16 is already installed”
So I enter…
"planb:/home/stephen # rpm -e nxserver
NX> 702 Pre-uninstalling: server at: Wed Nov 19 20:55:49 2008.
NX> 702 Shutting down.

If I run as suggested
/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver --install
I get…
“bash: /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver: No such file or directory”
So I am stuck in the middle, I can’t install or uninstall
So how to force uninstall?
Thanks
Hi
Just force it via;
sudo rpm -Uhv nxserver-3.2.0-16.i386.rpm --force

/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver --install
and then ran…
planb:/data/raid/public/Incoming # rpm -Uhv nxserver-3.2.0-16.i386.rpm --force

Now I will re install the server and see how it goes
Thanks
I should have said instead of re installing the server - to start the server…
I thought that I could get the server status by entering
planb:/data/raid/public/Incoming # nxserver --status
bash: nxserver: command not found
(I am running in a terminal as root doing this BTW)
Thanks
Hi
Have you installed the client, then node, then server? I would look at
re-running using the command I provided in that order. Else use the -e
option to remove and make sure you delete the /usr/NX directory as well
and then start again.

Thank you
Do you know how or why the font size is so small in the NX window?
When I VNC the font size is more like I would expect
NoMachine client is configured for 1024x768 - defaut NX fonts are 10, MS S and fixed 10, Cou
and the opensuse desktop is at 10 & bestshape (Gnome)
Thank you for your help
Hi
If your on a windows client, you may need these fonts (see the note at
the end)?
http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php
or you need to install some extra x-11 fonts? I have no issues font
wise on any of the machines I connect to, except the are all gnome
desktops.

I saw that but was unsure about their use, as I am not running old apps - the desktop fonts are tiny so I would think that this isn’t app related. More stuff to look into I guess.
Thank you for your help.
