one-click install of remote desktop does not work

Hello all,

I have attempted to install FreeNX on my 10.3 Openuse system (kernel 2.6.26) with the following

Software.openSUSE.org

Even though it says “11.0”, I installed the
-> “OpenSUSE 10.3/standard”
-> “X11RemoteDesktop openSUSE 10.3”
-> “NX openSUSE 10.3”

***How can the installation be checked to be sure that it has been setup correctly ???


***How can you check to see if it is running — at all?


When doing just a few commands, I get error that directories and files are missing

I have tried the following and get errors:


simba:/ # nxserver --start
No such user name: nx
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/authorized_keys2.disabled’: No such file or directory
NX> 122 Service started
NX> 999 Bye


When trying to add the user the first time, I got:


simba:/etc/nxserver # nxserver --adduser mufasa
No such user name: nx
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
egrep: /etc/nxserver/passwords: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/etc/nxserver/passwords’: No such file or directory

NX> 716 Public key added to: /home/mufasa/.ssh/authorized_keys2

When trying to add now, I get


simba:/ # nxserver --adduser mufasa
No such user name: nx
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 500 Error: User mufasa already in database.

There’s a good tutorial here.
To check if it’s running go to yast > system runlevel
