Fine! Now that we debugged this with ~60 mails we finally have a working system. But to me it is still unclear what was causing the NIS problems!?
The gist is that we should always add the X authorization cookie with the actual system host name, instead of using a shortname or the FQDN explicitly. Otherwise, X authorization might or might not work depending on other factors, but in most cases it will fail.
Thanks for clarification. But why not simply using all combinations in parallel?
The second issue was due mixing old nx-libs packages with the newer Arctica version. Using x2goserver-x2goagent is very important with nx-libs 3.5.99.x+, since this package also implicitly disables the ld preloading hack we've been using for Xinerama support in the past. Using the ld preloading hack with nx-libs 3.5.99.x+ leads to such odd errors when applications try to utilize libX11.
alright, that's clear.
Maybe we should provide a script that checks common problems ans collects required data to avoid pinging back and forth so often.
