camorri Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I have been trying to get freenx to work with NoMachines nxclient for about a month, without any success. I have freenx installed on my Mandriva 2006 system. I have Ubuntu installed on an old laptop. I have the client installed on Ubuntu, however I can not get it to authenticate with any keys. I did some reading, and decided to try to get the nxclient to connect locally first, using 127.0.0.1. Over time I have installed and removed and reinstalled freenx on Mandriva using URPMI. I had installed nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386.rpm, and it launched without problems. Through my continued attempts to get this thing going, I deleted the directory for the client. Dumb I know. I downloaded the client again, but I can not get it to install with the following command : rpm -ivh nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386.rpm It reports it is installed. If I try to uninstall it, rpm reports it is not installed. The client won't run, infact 'locate nxclient' only finds the rpm file. Is there a way out of this box? As I understand it, there is a rpm database that keeps track of installed rpms. I guess I've messed it up. Second question, is there a .mdk package for the nxclient? ( my guess is no, since NoMachine owns the code ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 i believe the command to rebuild your rpm database is: rpm --rebuilddb give that a try also, it is often better to use the urpmi command instead of rpm to install a package. urpmi [filename].rpm IIRC.

camorri Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thank-you for the reply. That has cleared up th emess I made. I now have it re-installed. I did not know you could ude URPMI to install a .rpm file. Thank-you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
