After installation, I got an authentication failure. To fix it, I copied node.conf.sample to node.conf. I uncommented the 1st 3 authentication directives, the nxserver path and the nxserver homedir. I then ran "nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key". I was able to connect after that.

Hello,
I am currently using the older NX 1.4 client to connect to my NX server install on RHEL.
I hoped that your instructions could have helped me to get to use the latest nx 2.0 client.
But, I get the following error when I install per your instructions:
# nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge

Tom, the bug is that on line 119 of /usr/bin/nxsetup, it should say:
[ -n "$SETUP_GID" ]
...not:
[ -n $SETUP_GID ]
Post a Comment
[ -n "$SETUP_GID" ]
...not:
[ -n $SETUP_GID ]
