Server packages An: mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de

Rome, Italy, May 21, 2012 - NoMachine makes available updates to NX Node and Server software. This new maintenance release is mainly aimed at solving some issues preventing applications using Cairo libraries to work with NX, and includes:

• NX sessions may crash with applications such as Firefox or Thunderbird using Cairo library version 1.12.0.

• A degrade in performance may be noticed when running applications using Cairo library version 1.10.

• Changes to mouse sensitivity made in the tool gnome-mouse-properties may be ignored in an NX session.

• Reconnecting 3.5.0 sessions with NoMachine Player 4 may fail.

Download the NX Node and Server packages

You can download the latest node and server suitable for your Operating System from the NoMachine Web site at the following URL:

http://www.nomachine.com/download/

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 or amd64).

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 commands below:

$ 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: # pkgrm NXserver # pkgrm NXnode # gunzip nxnode-3.5.0-xy.sparc.gz # gunzip nxserver-3.5.0-xy.sparc.gz # pkgadd -d nxnode-3.5.0-xy.sparc # pkgadd -d nxserver-3.5.0-xy.sparc
