What happens when you start it like;
/etc/init.d/nxserver start

After system started (nxserver was added to default boot level)

Please edit /etc/nxserver/node.conf
NX_LOG_LEVEL=6
Attempt to stop then start
Please attach tail -n 100 /var/log/nxserver.log

[Comment 6 David Abbott (RETIRED) 2009-09-28 08:45:07 UTC]

post egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/nxserver/node.conf 

[Comment 7 lexx 2009-09-28 08:56:58 UTC]

server ~ # egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/nxserver/node.conf
NX_LOG_LEVEL=6

It is default config. With the same config with no changes nxserver worked on another system.

[Comment 8 Bernard Cafarelli 2009-10-06 22:24:48 UTC]

What's the output of `ls -l /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/` ?

"start/stop" in freenx is just renaming the ssh authorized keys file to/from authorized_keys2.disabled, if it does not find it, it won't work indeed

Was there another freenx (or other NX) setup before? It may be worth a shot removing entirely /var/lib/nxserver/home, unmerge and remerge nxserver-freenx

[Comment 9 Bernard Cafarelli 2010-07-21 08:13:02 UTC]

Did the suggestions from comment #8 help? Marking test-request, do not hesitate to reopen if the problem is still here.
