 the external mirrors (on mirrorlist) within 24 hours.

Thanks  - can't ask for better support than that!

FWIW - xeyes is something I might run to test a problem, and
apparently I haven't had any problems with freenx for the time this
bug has existed even though I nearly always have 3 or more NX sessions
open every day to different locations from my work machine - each with
an assortment of remote ssh connections to other hosts.  It has been
very reliable and useful.

I do tend to forget about xauth not being included by default on 6.x,
but 'ssh -v -X' was the right way to discover that.

[CentOS] xeyes kills freenx session

2012-06-01 Thread Les Mikesell
I was trying an assortment of things to get a remote X session working
(where I had forgotten to install the xauth package...) and noticed
that running xeyes kills my freenx session.  This happened whether in
the NX/freenx session itself or when  run on a remote machine via 'ssh
-Y', started from a window in a freenx session.  Is that a known
problem or do I have something set up wrong?   Other GUI programs that
open their own windows seem to work, including jconsole which is what
I really wanted to run in the first place.

I can confirm half of it. xeyes runs fine if I connect with 'ssh -Y'
but crashes if I use NX.

My 'ssh -Y' originated from an NX session on a different machine
(freenx on a CentOS 5.x, target of the ssh was a 6.x if that matters).
 And it killed (not just a disconnect) the freenx session.

The scenario is NX--freenx in a remote office, then 'ssh -Y' to other
machines in the same remote office to get the efficiency of the NX
protocol without having to open sessions to a lot of machines.   xeyes
was just a quick test to see if the remote display was working.  It
doesn't matter that it doesn't work, but maybe there is a larger
problem.

Looks like this bug?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593199

and fixed in Fedora.

By the way, an update to nx will be released any minute now in the
CentOS extras repo. That probably fixes the issue. It includes nxagent
3.5.0-9.

Alright, the latest version did fix it for me (no crash). Wait for a
few more minutes for the release.
