I am running net-misc/nxclient-1.5.0-r2 for quite some time now and I never realized any problems with it.

Hi Ramin, Thanks for the report. I'll contact the arch teams and discuss with them. Best regards, Stu
Hi, We've added a later nxclient ebuild, which also supports the xft version of nxclient. Could you test please, and see if this is also as stable for you? Best regards, Stu
Hi Stu ... I am sorry ... but the xft part does not seem to work very well. For details please look at the attachment. I'll start testing the USE="-xft" version on two different freenx-servers - today ... but I'as,m not sure if there are any changes in this version. Best regards, Ramin
Created attachment 86002 [details] emerge info ... and compiling output
Hi, This was my fault. I hadn't added the debian.eclass to Portage. Please give it about an hour, then rsync up and try again. Best regards, Stu
Hi Stu ... I just sync'ed again .. but there is still no visible change for me ... I'll try again tomorrow ...
Sorry Stu ... I just sync'ed again, but there is still no change. I think that I do still have the old ebuild: $ ls -l /usr/portage/net-misc/nxclient/nxclient-1.5.0-r4.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2452 Apr 30 19:35 /usr/portage/net-misc/nxclient/nxclient-1.5.0-r4.ebuild The old error-message: /usr/portage/net-misc/nxclient/nxclient-1.5.0-r4.ebuild: line 46: debian_src_unpack: command not found Sounds to me like a problem with missing dependencies. The nxclient seems to work find without xft. Best regards, Ramin
I just stumbled on this bug report, and wanted to add a comment on this xft nxclient: why does src_install use debian_src_unpack whith xft use flag instead of rpm_src_unpack? I had the same problems (cp: cannot stat `usr': No such file or directory, ...) and I wonder why we use a debian unpack function for a RPM file... I edited the ebuild to use rpm_src_unpack in all circumstances, and got a fine working nxclient (with xft USE flag) Hope this helps
(In reply to comment #8) Problem has been fixed in latest 1.5.0-r4 ebuild (rpm_src_unpack for all now)
Is there a chance for 2.1.0 veriosn because there was a lot o useful changes :)

(In reply to comment #11) > here nxclient-1.5.0-r5 works fine > nxclient-2.1.0 compiles fine but fails to start the session (it authenticates > but then fails) I observed the same behaviour on many different machines and on many OS's (even including Windows machines - but mainly Gentoo or Debian). I would say that it is definitely an upstream issue and not a Gentoo one.
Changing bug state.
nxclient 1.5 working fine but 2.1 not working can also be caused by your NX server (like freenx). However, we're straying from this bug's original purpose ;)
