NX> 701 ERROR: Cannot restore DSA key.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To work around the problem I simply touched an empty '/usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh/default.id_dsa.pub.backup'. Probably the script should be a bit smarter and check if the backup exists before copying. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have an install of nxserver-freedition with only DSA keys not RSA. 2. try and upgrade to 3.3.0.8 3. boom Actual Results: * Running NoMachine's update script NX> 701 Updating: server at: Fri Nov 21 11:41:51 2008.

Expected Results: clean upgrade. yanfali@gmail.com 2008-11-21 19:51:10 0000 Ooops, I meant no DSA keys, not RSA. :) voyageur@gentoo.org 2008-11-24 09:56:05 0000 Ouch upstream fix for default DSA key (in the setup script) does not like our handling of key files. Fixed and bumped in CVS, thanks for the report! If you still have problems, you may need to uninstall and reinstall nx. voyageur@gentoo.org 2008-11-24 10:03:11 0000 *** Bug 248124 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** yanfali@gmail.com 2008-11-25 02:43:38 0000 Yeah I did end up having to uninstall and reinstall because I couldn't get the server to startup correctly. It's working now but only after deleting all the files left over from the previous install. Thanks for fixing this!
