Hi, I've reemerged all the NX apps from scratch to make sure there are no apparent build problems. However, I still have this problem. If I'm trying to connect to nxserver-freenx-0.5.0.20060311-r1 from a Linux V1.5.0 NX client, I can't establish a VNC (proxied) connection. The VNC authentication fails. This is true whether I'm making a connection on the localhost or over a LAN. The NX client pops up an error box saying the VNC password failed, and this is confirmed by the VNC server log. I know I've typed in the right password because it all works when I use a Linux V1.4.0 client. Here's a typical VNC log excerpt: --------------------------------- 09/06/06 19:00:17 Got connection from client 192.168.1.2 09/06/06 19:00:17 Using protocol version 3.3 09/06/06 19:00:17 rfbVncAuthProcessResponse: authentication failed from 192.168. 1.2 09/06/06 19:00:17 Client 192.168.1.2 gone --------------------------------- I can connect to the same VNC server using a standard VNC client. And I _can_ successfully connect from a Linux V1.4.0 NX client using the VNC proxy. In addition, a Linux V1.5.0 NX client can connect to the server using the standard "Unix" connection, but not the VNC connection. It seems to be this specific combination of a Linux V1.5.0 client using VNC to nxserver-freenx that fails. I messed around for a long time yesterday downgrading the version of nxserver-freenx, all the way down to 0.2.8, but I didn't find a version that the Linux V1.5.0 client would connect to successfully using a VNC connection. I imagine this is an upstream bug, but since I haven't tested it under other OSes or configurations, I'm reporting it here. I wonder if others have seen a similar problem, or if there's something borked with my install/config/etc.??? Thanks for the very nice and important nxserver-freenx ebuild :) HTH.
(In reply to comment #0) Here's one other piece of info that may rule out a possible cause. I looked at my ~/.nx/config/nxserver.conf file for the Linux V1.4.0 NX client, and my ~/.nx/config/nxserver.nxs file for the V1.5.0 client. I checked under <group name="VNC Session" > and looked at <option key="Password" value=":xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:ccc:ddd:ee:" /> to see how my VNC password was stored. The two values were identical, so it seems the Linux V1.5.0 NX client is recording the VNC password correctly, at least. HTH.
I will look at this, but I must admit, I have never used VNC or RDesktop support in NX. I will read the the knowledgebase on the nomachine site to see if there are any clues. Thanks for the report. :) Cheers.
Hum... This was normally fixed in freenx 0.5.0-r1 (0.6.0 again has a problem in nxnode with it, but that's another point). At least 0.5.0-r1 works fine here with both vnc and rdesktop
