"yum install nx freenx" and it works fine. FreeNX server in extras repo is 1.4.0 version, but from http://www.nomachine.com/download.php you can download only new 1.5.0 version. Will it be works together?
I couldn't get the latest client from NoMachine to work with the latest FreeNX packages on WBEL4, I had to grub around for an older client, nxclient-1.4.0-92.exe. I think I found it on download.com or similar.

The first hit has direct links to the download.
I have checked it on my CentOS 4.1 box. In "extras" CentOS repo there is 1.4.0 NX server, and from nomachine site you can download only 1.5.0 client - it don't work together. Server and client have to be the same version.
Has anybody NX client 1.4.0 for linux?
They work fine together (1.5.0 client and 1.4.0 server) ... I am using them right now.
The client is free, but it is not GPL or distributable.
I am going to build the 1.5.0 server in a couple hours ... I'll e-mail you when it is updated ... but I am typing this right now from a machine running 1.5 client (on CentOS-3) connected to a 1.4.0 server (on CentOS-4).
I also connected to this server via a 1.5.0 windows client.
OK ... I built and installed / tested the 1.5.0 server RPM for CentOS-4 i386. It is now posted to the main server and syncing to the mirrors.
in 15-20 minutes, nx-1.5.0-0.centos4.i386.rpm and freenx-0.4.4-1.centos4.noarch.rpm should be available at:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/i386/RPMS/
See this article for install instructions:
Thanks for mail Johnny. I just updated (yum update) my FreeNX server, restarted - nxserver, sshd and finally system - and still "nxserver --status" appears as a 1.4.0 version. On my second CentOS box I made 1/2 hour ago fresh install of FreeNX server and it's the same.
Of course rpm in extras repo is named 1.5.0.
Strange but true.
Maybe am I doing something wrong?
You are not doing anything wrong ... the output of that command provides this for me:
NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-44 OS (GPL)
but, the package that provides the the file nxserver is freenx and not nx.
Here are the NX sourcefiles involved in the nx rpm:
URL: http://www.nomachine.com Source0: nxproxy-1.5.0-9.tar.gz Source1: nxcomp-1.5.0-63.tar.gz Source2: nxcompext-1.5.0-16.tar.gz Source3: nx-X11-1.5.0-15.tar.gz Source4: nxagent-1.5.0-87.tar.gz Source5: nxviewer-1.5.0-14.tar.gz Source6: nxdesktop-1.5.0-59.tar.gz Source7: nxscripts-1.5.0-11.tar.gz Source9: nxagent
Those are the latest files freenx and nx source for RPM distros from: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/
I am again use the 1.5.0 client for Linux on CentOS-3 connected to the latest nx, freenx CentOS-4 server.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
