Hi all,
NoMachine seems to have fixed the libcairo issue we discussed lately.
I will take a look at their changes tomorrow.

Betreff: Fourth Maintenance Release of the NX 3.5.0 Node and
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.

TR05J02705 - The X11 agent may ignore WarpPointer requests
TR05J02706 - Sometimes disconnected sessions on NX server 3.5.0 cannot be recovered when using NoMachine Player 4

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
The complete set of installation instructions is available at:
http://www.nomachine.com/installation.php
You can find here more detailed instructions on how to configure and administer NX Node and NX Server:
http://www.nomachine.com/documents/admin-guide.php
NoMachine NX OSS components
Together with the commercial NX products, this new maintenance release sports updates to the following OSS component:
nxagent-3.5.0-8
The following components were not updated since the previous 3.5.0 releases:
nx-X11-3.5.0-2 nxuexec-3.5.0-3 nxcomp-3.5.0-2 nxcompext-3.5.0-1 nxcompshad-3.5.0-2 nxspool-3.5.0-1 nxsensor-3.5.0-1
Sources of all the OSS NX components can be downloaded here:
http://www.nomachine.com/sources/
Please refer to the ChangeLog of each specific package for more information about all changes introduced since the previous 3.5.0 versions.

Hi again,
nx-libs packages (Debian) are currently building for the nightly
repos. Should be available by tomorrow morning (CEST).
Please join in testing (3.5.0.14 NX redistributed).
@Mihai: as you see, it took me less than 30 minutes to incorporate the
latest nxagent release from NoMachine.

After more than one person has tested the nightly built Debian packages.
The first person is me, another person has to confirm that the
libcairo crashes are gone and that session resuming works again with
about the reported broken glyphs.
I have not had time to test the packages, yet, but will do now.

So my first tests succeeded. Can anyone else confirm the x2goagent from
deb http://packages.debian.org/debian wheezy|sid heuler
works with GNOME (or iceweasel, icedove)?
Please cross-check that session resuming also works as expected, esp.
on Debian squeeze systems:
deb http://packages.debian.org/debian squeeze heuler

On debian sid setup gnome3 and apps like iceweasel start ok now, but after resuming the session most text and some applications (like docky) will not be rendered, so the session becomes unusable.
I had to downgrade libcairo2 from 1.12.2-2 to 1.10.2-7 again to get resume working.
The recently updated versions of nxserver/nxnode from nomachine show exactly the same issue on resume.

Damn! Thanks for testing. I have reported your description to
