Bugzilla Bug 180040

NX packages based on the 2.1 branch have been in the tree for some time
now,let's see if they can get stable keywords on x86 and (multilib) amd64

* Client: net-misc/nxclient-2.1.0 (it's also a dependency for the two servers)
* NoMachine's free edition server: net-misc/nxnode-2.1.0
annet-misc/nxserver-freeedition-2.1.0
* FreeNX server: net-misc/nx-2.1.0, net-misc/nxserver-freenx-0.6.0

Thanks,
Bernard

I have CUPS installed:

CUPS Printing Backend

The NX Node setup procedure could not detect your "CUPS"
installation: either CUPS  is not installed on your system
or it was installed in a non-standard path. CUPS is needed
in order to enable printing support in your NX system.
Please note that you can enable  printing support for your
NX system at any time; to do this make sure  that you have
CUPS installed then run:

  /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode --nxprintsetup <pathname>

to specify the location of the CUPS root path.
NX> 700 Bye.

# /etc/init.d/nxserver restart

 * Please use 'svc_stop; svc_start' and not 'stop; start' to
 * restart the service in its custom 'restart()' function.
 * Run nxserver without arguments for more info.

Init script cleaned up for this warning thanks!

As for the cups problem, I cannot reproduce it on x86 or amd64 (with cups
installed too), which version of cups do you have? Also is it just a warning,
or does it prevent nxserver installation?

 * Running NoMachine's update script
goes just before.
 It installs, it is just a warning.  It is CUPS 1.2.10-r1 and it also failed
with 1.2.9.

voyageur, is this an isolated incident or whatever?  What can I do to test
further?  Do you need more information?

So far, this seems to be an isolated problem. Here is what I gathered on this:
- the setup script is /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode
- the message can be printed if it does not find the following:
  * lpoptions binary path (by default /usr/bin)
  * cupsd or lpadmin path (by def /usr/sbin)
  * configuration files (/etc/cups/printers.conf, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf)
  * backend folder (by def /usr/lib/cups/backend, /usr/lib64/cups/backend)
But all of these look pretty standard in a cups installation (and the nxnode
script looks in other folders for non-standard paths if needed).

If cups is unconfigured there is no backend directory.  That was the case here,
so nx "failed".  Going stable on x86.  Thanks for the detailed analysis,
Bernard.

Works fine on amd64 here

amd64, ping :)

I was looking into stabling:
net-misc/nx-2.1.0                       OK
net-misc/nxclient-2.1.0-r1              instead: 3.0.0-r2
net-misc/nxserver-freenx-0.6.0          instead: 0.7.0

net-misc/nxnode-2.1.0                   instead: 3.0.0-r2 (security)
net-misc/nxserver-freeedition-2.1.0     instead: 3.0.0-r2

I noticed that nx is a dependancy only of nxserver-freenx. Is it still
maintained? I cannot find it on the website anymore. The nx-X11-2.1.0-3.tar.gz
includes its own copy of Xfree code that possibly contains some security
issues.
How is this code used?

amd64 stabilization will probably be held off until packages introduced by bug
#192712 get old enough for stabilization (3.0.0* packages for most of them,
0.7-r1 for nxserver-freenx)

amd64 stable for the unaffected versions of:
* net-misc/nxclient
* net-misc/nxnode
* net-misc/nxserver-freeedition

Please open a bug for the new versions of net-misc/nxserver-freenx and
net-misc/nx as usual.
