Ken [Visitor] in response to: Neatx is the new black

After upgrading to Oneiric, I panicked as freenx-server was no longer available for install. Googling around a bit and finding this blog was a god-send!

With the following adjustments, I was able to get neatx working on Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit:

1. also need to apt-get install zlib1g-dev libgd2-xpm-dev as Lubuntu is really stripped down and missing some essential headers
2. sprinkle sudo here and there, as needed
3. LD_LIBRARY_PATH also needs /usr/local/src/NX/nxcompshad
4. sudo mv the NX directory to /usr/local/src/NX as make install didn't seem to install to the system directories
5. cp nxagent to /usr/bin/nxagent

HINTS: the nx build takes a long time - be patient but check on the output to make sure there are no headers missing. when starting the nx client, tail -f /var/log/syslog to see what's going on

Does NoMachine client support key-based login ? The key configured in FreeNX is to switch to nx user on remote host only ?

it seems to be an error in the line:
apt-get install python-pexpect python-simplejson python-gtk2 python-docutils python-gobject python openssh make automake autoconf gcc xauth xrdb netcat

should be:
aptitude install python-pexpect python-simplejson python-gtk2 python-docutils python-gobject python openssh-server make automake autoconf gcc xauth netcat x11-xserver-utils

(compatible with squeeze)

Thanks a lot.
I resolved this problem in my suse enterprise Server 11.

I changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf

That wont do much good, will it? Buying spare UPSs which will stand on the shelve unloaded. They wouldn't work when I needed them, would they?

I do not at this point of my understanding of UPS's see any point of buying more UPSs than I can load. You are welcome to explain to my why you think that should be a solution.

After the fact, the rather rude APC support guy rather accidentially did give me the hint I had been looking for. It should be possible, with the redundant power supplies in the servers, to put one on net power and the other one on the UPS and failover when the UPS runs dry. So the servers can be used as load.

When I wrote this post, I was hoping someone would tell me what other people do. My conclusion now is that most "small UPS owners" never the test and just buys a new battery when they have to. And that if you cannot afford one of the big solutions, you are basically screwed, backups or not.

You've just explain the proverbial catch 22. Just like many things if you don't use it you loose so it is not good for the UPS to stand by with little or no load. Buy some backups :(

Hello Scott

I don't remember having a problem locating the file, so I guess I found it in /etc/X11 or something similar. I don't have access to a SuSE box now. If there are several xorg.conf files, perhaps you can make a change via the GUI config tool and see which file changed?

If there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 try "locate xorg.conf" or if that doesn't work, the graphical file manager probably has a search function.
