growing file in client session logfile

[colinbes]

I followed the steps in http://code.2x.com/linuxterminalserver/wiki/NxInstall to build terminalserver.

First error I got was error with declare command - changing first line of buildscript to !#/bin/bash solved that.

When running buildscript from mentioned directory I get the following error:

Code: Select all

colinbes@colinbes-home:~/svn/linuxterminalserver/trunk/scripts$ ./build_NX_client_server.sh
Building from /home/colinbes/svn/linuxterminalserver/trunk
Building in /tmp/NX directory
##########################################################
Building and installing Perl
----------------------------------------------------------
./build_NX_client_server.sh: line 343: ./Configure: No such file or directory
make: *** No targets specified

It appears to be trying to run Configure from /tmp/NX. A directory listing of this directory shows no configure or Configure file.

Any help appreciated.

If you have this problem and don't want to patch/upgrade, here's a workaround.

- Move /usr/NX/bin/nxagent to /usr/NX/bin/nxagent.real.

- Copy the script below to /usr/NX/bin/nxagent.

- duplicate nxagent.real's owner/permissions on the new nxagent.

------- 8< ------- Cut here ------- 8< -------
#!/bin/bash

$0.real "$@" 2>&1 | grep -v 'nxagentSetPictureFilter: going to set filter'

Hi,

This patch does not work on my CentOS5 terminal server ;(
I getting a black screen when trying to login using this patch.
Can anyone confirm this or, maybe, look at this patch ?

I can confirm that the hack that you describe doesn't work.

It would be really cool if someone (2x? hint, hint) would post the patched binary for nxagent. Please?

After messing with compiling for a while I took the path of least resistance and I just installed freenx instead of using 2xterminalserver. Since I use 2X thinclientserver, I had to change out the keys so that thinclientserver would be happy, but other than this, it went well and has been working solid as a rock for weeks now.

If anyone needs help with how to use freenx with thinclient just give me a holler.
