Forums • View topic - Client runs ok. Manual nxssh connection fail. Missing lib.. Hi.As a starting point in understanding the protocol I tried to follow this Nomachine guide. have installed both node and client following the correct documents installing with deb files on my ubuntu hoary and the client run perfectply but when I try to run nxssh from command as suggested in the guide: nxssh -nx -i /usr/NX/share/client.id_dsa.key nx@host_address I ger this message: .
/nxssh: error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I realized later that anything related to . /nxssh fails with same error with libXcomp.so.3 missing. I have also noticed that the client.id_dsa.key file of the above command does not exist on my share folder however does exist a file called server.id_dsa.key into NX/etc/keys. Excuse me if I am missing something If anybody can give me a hand I will appreciate, Thanks very much.Jose. FreeNX. FreeNX is a system that allows you to access your desktop from another machine over the Internet. You can use this to login graphically to your desktop from a remote location. One example of its use would be to have a FreeNX server set up on your home computer, and graphically logging in to the home computer from your work computer, using a FreeNX client. It's Open Source, secure (SSH based), fast and versatile!
License: GPL Note: Running FreeNX as server on Ubuntu with the free "NX Client for Windows" from NoMachine on a Windows workstation is working fine, except resuming sessions. Terminology The Server is the computer you want to connect to. The Client is the computer from which you want to be able to access the Server. Before installing FreeNX server make sure you have SSH set up and is working. We will be installing the FreeNX server on the Server machine, i.e., the machine that you want to access remotely.
FreeNX is not included in Ubuntu, so we'll add it from the FreeNX Team PPA. Www.doria.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/5803/stadia-1178614117-3.pdf?sequence=1. NX - Support: Article. The NoMachine nxssh client is based on the latest stable version distributed by the OpenSSH project. This enables old and unpatched Unix machines to be up to date with the security improvements that have occurred in OpenSSH development. Additionally, nxssh may use the OpenSSL libraries that are installed in the system, so upgrading the system's OpenSSL package results in the same fixes being propagated to NX. Using an NX version of the SSH client has multiple advantages. NoMachine can hard-code usage patterns that are to be used in the context of NX and strip all the functionalities of SSH that are not required to run NX sessions, this will result in leaner, more secure code.
In its current version (NX 3.x.x) , it is not possible to use ssh and nxssh interchangeably. From a security and manageability viewpoint, the only difference between using the nxssh client and the OpenSSH client, is that with upgrades of the OpenSSH client you should also upgrade the nxclient package. Gwright.org.uk/files/protocol.pdf. NX - Documents: News. NX - Support: Article. The NX client software gives to users the option of saving the password in the session configuration file. When the password is stored in the file, NX doesn't prompt the user for the login credentials at the time the session is started, so that it is possible to automate the login by launching the software by clicking on a session configuration saved on the user's desktop or by running the client during the session startup of the host OS.
While this feature can be very useful in many scenarios, it must be noted that saving the password in the configuration file makes it possible for any user to have access to the physical computer to steal the password and get access to the NX server with the user's credentials. For this reason the option is turned off by default. When saving the session's password in the configuration file, nxclient stores it in a scrambled format. &: & <: < " : " ' : ' What follows is the C++ code used by nxclient to encode and decode the text.

Here are the possible uses of virtualization that may interest you: You’re company and you have to use some old software with no recent os compatibility (for example old DOS accounting software)You want to set up several web-servers on the same machine and you want to give the administrators unlimited access over their own server but no access to the others.You’re a teacher who teaches linux programming and you want your students to practice at home, but they don’t have linux on their machines.You’re an os-geek, who wants to try out tons of OS-es, but don’t want to reinstall everythingYou’re favorite os does not support you’re new hardwareYou just want to have fun with virtual machines.
As you are looking at the feature list of VirtualBox you can see, that most of it is free software, but there are two features particularly useful for corporate users, which are binary-only. These are the RDP support and the USB support. RDP-in-depth. Www.nomachine.com/documents/pdf/intr-components.pdf. How To Configure NX Client To Make A Remote Desktop Connection To View VMware Server Console Contents. I know many of you are strugling with this one. It took me sometime to find the proper settings in NX Client for Windows (or Linux). Many times after making the connection to the VMware Host Server - I could not see anything but a black screen of the Guest OS inside the VMware Server Console.
To fix this... If you have all ready used the Connection Wizard, Go to the NX Client for Windows - Select the proper Session - "Configure" -> "Use Custom" settings on your NX connection properties. ("Configure" button is usually greyed out if you open a desktop shortcut session. Why?!?) Disable all the "Performance" settings on the bottom of the "Display Settings" page. Performance.Disable the shared memory extension. Disabling "shared memory" should do the trick. Sami M. Www.nomachine.com/documents/pdf/NX-XProtocolCompression.pdf. NX - Support: Documentation.

The NX Server upgrade procedure is not designed to update the original node.lic and server.lic files provided by a a previous installation, but the default behavior is to preserve them instead. This means that, if you had previously installed any of the NX Server evaluation versions and then you have upgraded to the Free Edition or perhaps a subscription, your software still is an evaluation version which has an evaluation period of 30 days.
Similarly, if you installed NX Free Edition and then install NX Server Evaluation without completely removing NX Free Edition, the license files from NX FE will interfere with e.g. NX Enterprise Server. You can verify this by checking the version of your NX node and NX server: # /usr/NX/bin/nxnode --version # /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --version NX> 618 Your evaluation period has expired. If you try to check the NX node and NX server version, you will get this message: # /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --version NX> 618 Your evaluation period has expired. NX - Documentation.

This was one of the most requested features by customers and opens up NX to a full range of different usage scenarios, like remote help-desk activity and collaborative brainstorming. In the past there have been attempts to use the X11 protocol for this purpose but no one had ever reached a stage that proved to be usable.
The main reason was that the involved "proxies" lacked the knowledge of the X protocol required to implement this in a reliable way. With NX it is different. nxagent is a fully-featured X server and knows everything it needs to know to forward a single X connection to multiple X servers on the remote clients. More technical details on nxagent running in shadow mode are available here: What is the difference between desktop sharing and session shadowing?

Re: nomachine and Windows XP via VirtualBox | Gentoo | User. NX Server Installation Instructions. NX - Support: Article. As of January 2008, NoMachine is now a member of the VMware Technical Alliance Partnership program.
In recognition of the growing popularity of NoMachine customers adopting NX within a virtualized environment, NoMachine now confirms that it will support customers running NX Server, NX Node and NX Client, as well as the other NX products not in Beta release, on supported Operating Systems in a VMware virtual machine environment. NoMachine will provide unqualified VMware support for NX Server, NX Node and NX Client running in a VMware virtual environment in an identical manner as with NX Server, NX Node and NX Client running on any other major x86 based systems without initially requiring reproduction of issues on native hardware.
Should Nomachine suspect that the virtualization layer is the root cause of an incident, the customer will be required to contact the appropriate VMware support provider to resolve the VMware issue. NX - Documents: News. Introduction to NX technology.
