[K12OSN] NX works great . . . mostly!



Peter Sheie was spot in when he wrote that NX is so much better than VNC . . . when it works. Even over a wireless connection with my laptop the screen response is comparable to being on a local console. I have successfully connected to an ltsp server running Fedora 5 and a PCLinuxOS 0.93 workstation. I even had a good NX connection to a FreeBSD 6.1 box before it mysteriously quit working and now refuses to reconnect. Getting NX to work seems a mostly hit or miss proposition.

I am using Rick Stout's patched versions of freenx and nx for Fedora, available at:

          http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/

Getting the ssh validation with public/private keys is relatively straightforward. But another ltsp server running Fedora 3, I get only timeouts no matter how I tweek it. Validation completes, but it never negotiates a link. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but to no avail.

Anyone else having this kind of problem? Moreover, anyone have a clue as to what I should try next?

Dan
