NoMachine NX client

[blazej]

Hi
Did anyone try to run it under tc? I've installed .tar.gz from their website
in /usr. It seems to connect to the server, but then the connection is lost
with the 'data error'. Below is the log
message. I think my network connection is ok, I'm using nxclient on another
machine with no problems.
Any clues?

you probably need to compile the source for TC; i myself use ssh with the -XC switch, and you have a less complicated way to your server; try it with:

$ ssh -XC your_login at IP_of_your_server

some update:

Seems that the nxclient installation on the Tiny Core netbook works fine
- I set up NX server on my desktop machine and I'm able to connect to it
and work normally.

For some reason however I cannot connect to the other server
which is outside my LAN (this 'data error'...)

Would you mind submitting nxclient as an extension? The 'ssh -XC' has serious limitations if you want to get the complete desktop instead of single shell sessions, and also if you want to connect to windows system with the RDP protocol.

rdesktop is in the repository for win machines, i guess; i don't get your point with ssh -XC not giving you a complete desktop; you can type the start command for your wm in the shell and you get the entire desktop (same as for the nx client)
