Hello,
I have TDE installed on a CenOS 6.3 VPS in the cloud, which i use an NX
client to access.
There seems to be a wierd interaction between TDE side and top panels and
FreeNX. I was in the process of adding application icons to the top panel
when I was queried by dialog indicating that some part of this process was
taking too long (I don't remember the exact message) and did I want to stop
the process? I clicked yes, unfortunately.
Now nothing works the way it did before. When I try to connect to the
server with the NX client, I get multiple session windows, and all of them
are frozen (mouse does not work internal to the session window). I can drag
the window from its top bar, but I can't close it, either with the X button
or with "close" in a pop-up dialog box.
A strange aspect is that these session windows are now numbered in their
top bar with <2>, <4>, etc. centered. And in the panel popup of my client
machine associated with the NX icon, these numbers appear. When I click one
of them (from the client), I will get one of these "windows" displayed. It
might be just a top bar (actually an empty TDE top panel labeled with a
<number> with no window below it, or an empty side panel labeled with a
<number>), and it might overlap a complete window (labeled at the top with
some other number, e.g. <6>). Some of these windows will have the side and
top panels that I had populated before my fatal "yes" click, but they do
not respond to mouse button events.
The only way to get rid of these windows is the kill the nxssh processes on
the server (which happen to be hogging all of the server's CPU time).
Then I ran nxserver --terminate <username> getting rid of all of the old NX
sessions for my username "bear" and "root". Then rebooted the server,
and
tried logging in again from my client machine using the NX client. The
same multiple-session behavior happened again. There should have been only
one NX session window. But there were several.
The same thing happened when loging in to root.
Does anybody have a clue as to what I can do?
TIA,
Bear

Which NX Client are you using ? The proprietary one ?
If yes, how is your client session configured ? In order to run TDE
through NX, I configure as follow:
- Under "General" tab, in "Desktop" section, choose "Unix /
Custom",
then click "Settings" button.
- In "Settings" window, in "Application" section, check" Run the
following command", then type "/opt/trinity/bin/startkde".
- In "Options" section, check "New virtual desktop"
Validate the options and re-run the session.
I often use TDE through NX remote display under CentOS, it works without
problem (I'm on local network, not cloud).

Thanks Francois,
Yes, I am using the NoMachine NX client, configured just as you say, except
for the Options setting (mine is set for Floating window). I changed it
like you have it, then terminated the old session via the nxserver command
and rebooted the server.
That seemed to fix it.
Thanks much,
Bear
