NoMachine NX Client for Zaurus

[slocaus]

127.0.0.1 is localhost, which is your Zaurus.  It sounds like the nomachine sever is rejecting your connection to it.

ZeeUser:

I only made changes to the shell scripts that start the apps.  Those are:

/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/nxclient
/usr/local/NX/bin/x

I think that you want to change the DISPLAY value in the /usr/local/NX/bin/x script.

agosine:

You should be starting the nxclient from /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/nxclient, which will set the path to the NX libraries.  If you are running this script and you did not install onto your internal flash then you will need to change the paths to /usr/local/NX/lib to whereever you installed (example:  /mnt/cf/usr/local/NX/lib).

What did I get myself into...

ZeeUser:

I agree with slocaus.  It should be launching NXfbdev, which I can only assume is some kind of X windows like server .  The original scripts killed opie and then started NXfbdev.   I need to learn a bit more about how to do this in QPE.

agosine:

In addition to not having the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set from the nxclient script it also looks like you do not have zlib installed.  You can get zlib for sharp here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zaurus/...e_mirror=heanet

That should be a package dependancy.

So are we basically out of luck for now?  :cry:  I just wanted to know so I don\'t keep messing with it for nothing...
Thanks!

I put a request in for some help on the NoMachine nxusers mailing list, and got this response:

Basically we need a X server running on QPE. NXfbdev is
just that. There were technical limitations which prevented
NXfbdev to run on QPE, that\'s why we only provided NX for
OpenZaurus.

] an X11 ] port of the NX Zaurus Client would be even better (see
] http://www.pdaxrom.org/ )

This is certainly interesting. Did you try to run the GPLed
nxcompsh/nxrun command line client on it?

So I think we really are out of luck as far as Qtopia goes, unless someone is willing to resolve whatever technical limitations there are... On the plus side, there is hope for the NX Client on X11. Anyone using the Cacko X11 ROM care to work with us on this?

[stupkid]

Hmm, I wonder if Xqt would work? http://xqt.sourceforge.jp/ maybe we CAN fit the square peg in the round hole if we get a different mallet.

Stupkid:
I don\'t know how to compile anything   :roll:
The sources are here if you would like to try, though.

Anyways, I did test drive the NX Client for Windows for a few minutes, and was quite impressed with the speed! Even a game of Asteroids was playable, with only the occasional lag. Mind you this was over a 3 megabit cable internet connection, but impressive nonetheless. I\'m sure it would run smooth as silk at 640x480 and over the wireless LAN (which is mostly what I\'ll be using it over)

[ZeeUser]

Stupkid,
Did you ever try to get the NX client to run under X/Qt? If so, what were your results? LordDavon was working on getting the NX client to run under pdaXrom. Last I heard from him he was working on optimizing it for the ATI graphics chipset and X-scale (so I assume he got it working). However, I have not heard from him in over two weeks now.... He also mentioned the Sash was interested in the project, so I may try contacting him.

Hi!

Does anybody have Stupkid\'s ipk as mentioned above? The link to the file is broken - going to the main page also didn\'t help.

ZeeUser, Stupkid is the file mirrored somewhere?

Thanks!!

[BalroG]

OOPS, aplogies, didn\'t see that I was on page 1 of 2, sorry.

Anyway, did this ever work?
