ROME, Italy, August 22, 2011 - NoMachine makes available the second maintenance release of the NX Node and Server packages to fix a number of problems, including incompatibilities that may occur when the session is connected by NX Player:

• The desktop size may not fit the session window when the session is started by NX Player.
       
• Reconnecting a session with NX Player on NX Server 3.x may fail when more than one session of the same type is available.
   
• A session started by NX Client cannot be reconnected when using NX  Player due to a wrong geometry.
   
• NX Server may fail to create guest users accounts. 
   
• Copy & paste operations may not work in RDP and VNC sessions.
   
• The X11 agent could terminate unexpectedly due to a long user-defined font path.

Update

Instructions for Linux are intended to be run from command line and use the sudo utility. If you don't have the sudo utility installed, log on as superuser ('root') and run the commands without sudo. Otherwise you can use the graphical package manager provided by your Linux distribution. Instructions for RPM , DEB and tar.gz packages refer to the 32 bit package (i386) and can be easily extended to the 64bit package (x86_64).

It is highly recommended you disable access to new NX sessions and terminate all running sessions before proceeding with the update of node and server. To disable access to new NX sessions and terminate all the running sessions, open an xterm or similar and run the following commands:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --stop
# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --shutdown

After the update procedure is completed, restart NX server by running:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --start

RPM version for Linux

• Download the RPMs
• Change your working directory to the location where you saved the packages
  and update the node and server installation by running from a console:
  # sudo rpm -Uvh nxnode-3.5.0-xy.i386.rpm
  # sudo rpm -Uvh nxserver-3.5.0-xy.i386.rpm
   

DEB version for Linux

• Download the DEBs
• Change your working directory to the location where you saved the packages
  and update the node and server installation by running from a console:
  # sudo dpkg -i nxnode_3.5.0-xy_i386.deb
  # sudo dpkg -i nxserver_3.5.0-xy_i386.deb
   

TAR.GZ version for Linux

• Download the TAR.GZs in the /usr directory
• Change your working directory to the /usr directory, and uncompress
  the packages by running from a console:
  # cd /usr
  # sudo tar zxvf nxnode-3.5.0-xy.i386.tar.gz
  # sudo tar zxvf nxserver-3.5.0-xy.i386.tar.gz
• Run the setup scripts for updating the NX Node and Server software:
  # sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxnode --update
  # sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --update
   

SPARC.GZ version for Solaris

• Download the SPARC.GZs
• Change your working directory to the location where you saved the packages,
  uninstall the previous versions of the software and install the new packages
  by running from a console:
  # sudo pkgrm NXserver
  # sudo pkgrm NXnode
  # sudo gunzip nxnode-3.5.0-xy.sparc.gz
  # sudo gunzip nxserver-3.5.0-xy.sparc.gz
  # sudo pkgadd -d nxnode-3.5.0-xy.sparc
  # sudo pkgadd -d nxserver-3.5.0-xy.sparc
