When I try to connect I get "Session startup failed". I've included an excerpt from /var/log/nxserver.log.

Also I found some troubleshooting instructions here: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2005-February/000815.html The troubleshooting instructions seem to refer to something called /usr/NX/bin/nxagent but I don't have something like that installed: bash-2.05b# equery files nxserver-freenx [ Searching for packages matching nxserver-freenx... ] net-misc/nxserver-freenx-0.4.0 * Contents of net-misc/nxserver-freenx-0.4.0: /usr /usr/NX /usr/NX/bin /usr/NX/bin/nxclient /usr/NX/bin/nxkeygen /usr/NX/bin/nxloadconfig /usr/NX/bin/nxnode /usr/NX/bin/nxnode-login /usr/NX/bin/nxprint /usr/NX/bin/nxserver /usr/NX/bin/nxsetup /usr/NX/etc /usr/NX/etc/node.conf.sample /usr/NX/etc/passwords /usr/NX/etc/passwords.orig /usr/NX/etc/users.id_dsa /usr/NX/etc/users.id_dsa.pub /usr/NX/home /usr/NX/home/nx /usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh /usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh/authorized_keys2 /usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh/server.id_dsa.pub.key /usr/NX/var /usr/NX/var/db /usr/NX/var/db/closed /usr/NX/var/db/closed/.keep /usr/NX/var/db/failed /usr/NX/var/db/failed/.keep /usr/NX/var/db/running /usr/NX/var/db/running/.keep Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/NX/bin/nxsetup --uninstall --purge 2. emerge -C nxserver-freenx 3. rm -r /usr/NX 4. echo "net-misc/nxserver-freenx ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords 5. emerge -v nxserver-freenx 6. cp /usr/NX/etc/node.conf.sample /usr/NX/etc/node.conf 7. touch /var/log/nxserver.log 8. chown nx:users /var/log/nxserver.log 9.

Hi, The 'blocker' severity is reserved for packages which are preventing other packages from working correctly. nxagent is provided by net-misc/nx-x11, not the nxserver-freenx package. Please post the output of 'ls -l /usr/NX/bin'. Best regards, Stu
Thank you for the information on nxagent belonging to net-misc/nx-x11. I had broken my installation net-misc/nx-x11 when trying to get rid of some old settings. After reemerging net-misc/nx-x11 everything worked fine.
I would like to reopen this bug. I have the same problem, and certainly nxagent is not installed with the current nx-x11. Here's the proof: qubit ~ # equery files nx-x11 [ Searching for packages matching nx-x11... ] net-misc/nx-x11-1.4.0-r4 * Contents of net-misc/nx-x11-1.4.0-r4: /usr /usr/NX /usr/NX/bin /usr/NX/bin/nxauth /usr/NX/bin/nxdesktop /usr/NX/bin/nxpasswd /usr/NX/bin/nxviewer /usr/NX/lib /usr/NX/lib/libX11.so -> libX11.so.6.2 /usr/NX/lib/libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2 /usr/NX/lib/libX11.so.6.2 /usr/NX/lib/libXcomp.so -> libXcomp.so.1.4.0 /usr/NX/lib/libXcomp.so.1 -> libXcomp.so.1.4.0 /usr/NX/lib/libXcomp.so.1.4.0 /usr/NX/lib/libXcompext.so -> libXcompext.so.1.4.0 /usr/NX/lib/libXcompext.so.1 -> libXcompext.so.1.4.0 /usr/NX/lib/libXcompext.so.1.4.0 /usr/NX/lib/libXrender.so -> libXrender.so.1.2 /usr/NX/lib/libXrender.so.1 -> libXrender.so.1.2 /usr/NX/lib/libXrender.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6/include /usr/X11R6/include/NX.h /var /var/lib /var/lib/nxserver So I can't use nx. Could this be fixed? Thanks, Nilton.
