Hi,
this may be a stupid question, but is there any chance that snx could be gotten to work on android...?

So I tried adding the lines:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/NX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/NX/bin

...to the .bashrc file on the server side, but that didn't work (doesn't this ssh session read the .bashrc file? Hmm?
So, as of now I have also modified the snx script with the changed paths for nxagent and the libraries.

Any ideas here?

BTW, as a command to start a full gnome desktop on my server i use:

snx -d user@myserver gnome-session

It works, sure, but is that the correct command to use?
I mean, I thought -d was enough to get a desktop session, or is that -d meant just to put nx in fullscreen mode?

Sorry if I'm kind of slow in understanding this.

That's fine, I use startkde to start my kde session. "-d" is used to start in desktop mode (and fullscreen), otherwise it will start in locally managed windows mode (useful to start just a program, not a remote desktop session).

Is it possible to run snx (or some other nx client) on Nokia N9? I can't google any information about this

If the NX libs have been compiled for N9, then snx will work.
If not, you can try installing the packages for the N900, it is quite possible that they work.

The problem is that I don't have N9 nor N900. I simple need a smartphone or a tablet that can handle NX connection and as far as I know snx is the best option possible.
Could anyone check if snx runs well on N9 please? I'd like to be sure about it before buying one.

I second the snx on N9
I have it, could someone tip me how to test snx on harmattan?
it would be fantastic to have it working on N9!

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/NX/lib /usr/NX/bin/nxagent

After that, it works. Thanks a lot for this.

Just to follow up (since one other person has this same experience), in my case installing the OSS nx libs and tools made it work as expected. When I switched to x2go server this transition was seamless and snx works unmodified. Thanks.

I would like to bump this thread once more. I think it would be really great to have at least one nx client for harmattan.I dont know anything about freemantle, but I'm really willing to help, if i can.
