NeatX on Arch Linux - Session has terminated?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I'm trying to get Neatx running on my Arch Linux (x64) installation.

I've installed neatx 0.3.1 from one of the official repositories.

SSH to the box from another computer works.

When I attempt to connect using the NX client however, I get an error:

Session '81D73F10CD5F2BA9AC78B9E85D327B8D' has status 'terminated', aborting.

If I look in details, I see:

Is there any idea on what might be causing this error?

This is just the default package of neatx on Arch Linux, it is kinda weird that it seems to be broken.

Cheers,

How did you build the underlying "nx" toolkit? Remember, neatx is
merely a steering wheel for the enginen that is the "nx" software?

heya,

That's all been pulled in via the standard Arch Linux repositories - these have packages for both NeatX, and it's NoMachine pre-requisites.

That's the issue here - that the default packages on Arch seems broken.

However, I was hoping somebody in the NeatX forums might know what the issue is, or have some advice on how to diagnose the core issue. That way we might be able to get the Arch Packages fixed up.

Cheers,

Victor
