FreeNX Server installation problem
Posts: 6
I am new to Linux and just installed Mepis 6.0 a few days ago on an old pc.
I want to control the pc from XP using FreeNX.
I have the client on the XP machine and I followed the instructions on the forum (http://www.mepis.org/node/4947) to install the NX server on the Mepis PC but I get an error "failed to fetch http://archive.kalyxo...." which I assume means that the package has moved to a new URL.
I have Googled around and came up with a few other possible locations but nothing worked.
If anyone has installed NX server recently could they tell me what the correct URL/syntax is ?
Thanks
Mick
nxserver - some progress

Thanks - I downloaded nxserver, client and node from the site and all appeared to install ok when I double-clicked on them (after I realised that you have to install them in the correct order).
But now, when I try to execute "nxsetup" or "nxserver", I get "command not found".
Does this mean I have to cd to the appropriate directory first ? If so, what will it be ?
I have tried executing the commands from a normal account, with and without "su" and the result is the same.
it gets installed in

it gets installed in /usr/NX/bin/ run it from there (either using full path /usr/NX/bin/nxclient or ./nxclient after you cd to that directory)

Thanks again - that works.
However, I now get this :
user@1[bin]$ ./nxserver --start
NX> 900 NXSERVER - Version 2.0.0-76
NX> 500 ERROR: Only user: root can use option: start.
user@1[bin]$ su
Password:
root@1[bin]# ./nxserver --start
NX> 500 Service already running.
NX> 999 Bye.
root@1[bin]# ./nxserver --status
NX> 900 ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused
NX> 110 NX Server is stopped.
NX> 999 Bye.
This looks odd to me. If its already running, how come it crashes when I ask for status ?

NX Server is free now (as in beer), you can get it from nomachine.com site directly. That site that you talk about has been down for a long time...
