NX bootimage, cant get past "Click yes to reconnect" #572

Closed rj-dsl closed 4 years ago

Hello again..

After building an image for my thinclients (Intel Nucs)..

I can boot just fine, but cant get past this screen:

IMG_0002

Here are my build.conf and thinstation.conf.buildtime files:

build.conf ################################################ ### --- Thinstation Build Config --- ### ################################################ # # # This is Thinstation s basic setup file. In this file you decide which # hardware, programs and features to be included in the Thinstation # boot image generated by running "./build". # # You can customize/limit the possibilities in the thinstation.conf # files later. # # Anything after a "#" is a comment. You activate "things" by removing # the "#" and remove "things" by putting a "#" in front of them. # # First we define which modules to include. Modules are hardware # drivers. NEVER include more than necessary - the more modules, the # longer boot time. ######################################################## ### --- Machine Modules to include in boot image --- ### ######################################################## # A machine profile is a set of modules for a specific set of hardware # components like a thinclient with adapters. It does not include any # filesystem modules, those need to be selected individualy. Making a # a machine profile is a two step process. First you will need to make # an allmodules build like "./build --allmodules" with the extensions-x # package included. Once the client machine is booted with that image # you can open and xterm or telnet in and run "hwlister.sh". hwlister.sh # will compile some lists and attempt to post them to the pxe server assigned # to the client. If the pxe server is this workstation and you are hosting # files directly out of this build env, you can then run # "./mkmachine SOME-MODEL" and the files will be put into the machine folder # under that model name. Now all you have to do is add a line to this file # like "machine SOME-MODEL" and you will no longer have to make # allmodules builds. If this is not the pxe server, you will have to # move stuff around on your own, but the most important files are # modules.list and firmware.list. ################################################ ### --- Modules to include in boot image --- ### ################################################ # Any modules may be added as "module" or "module_pkg". # If defined as a "module", the driver is included in the boot image. # If defined as a "module_pkg", the driver is added from outside the # image, such as from a tftp server. See note below for more details. # # Normally you should use "module". Only use "module_pkg" if you want # to dynamically load modules. # Note: If you create a module_pkg network driver, and decide to load it # from a tftp server, it won t work. This is because the image # won t have a network driver to get the module_pkg in the first # place. #!Hardware #!!Machine module list #machine m704 # Gigabyte m704 Rover PC #machine WYSE9150se # WYSE 9150se Thin Client #machine NT-A3500 # Foxconn AMD E-350 Barebone #machine NT-535 # Foxconn Intel D525 Barebone #machine Dell-FX170 # Dell FX170 D525 Atom Machine #machine VMWare # A good set of modules for a VmWare Virtual Machine #machine Virtualbox-4.1 # A good set of modules for a Virtualbox Virtual Machine #machine qemu #machine VIA-Epia-CLE266 # VIA Epia/Eden based on the the CLE266 chip.

Hope you can see something i cant.. This is a legacy project left over from another guys who didn't leave any documentation.

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

I guess that package needed a little TLC. Hopefully it's all good now.

rj-dsl commented 4 years ago

So I just pull the repo again, an build the image again?

What changes did you make?

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

I changed the unwind a little, and converted a link to a script. You might be able to get away with just a pull. A factory reset is only sure method, just save your configs before you do that.

rj-dsl commented 4 years ago

Okay.. when trying to build, I get the following error:

convert: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
rsvg-convert: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

Sorry, mixed commit. Should be fixed now.

rj-dsl commented 4 years ago

Okay.. so with the lastest changes, I am still getting the "Click yes to reconnect" screen.. I have tried to connect to the server from a desktop and the nomachine spplication, that works just fine.. Is there anyway to get logs from the boot process?

Edit: Maybe I should note that I am building an image for PXE boot..

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

Yes. Open a terminal and run

pkg window nx

Okay.. So I have tested again.. Same result.. pkg window nx in cmdline does nothing.. I have attached the logs I could find from /var/log on the device..

boot.log fastboot.log messages.log rngd.log Xorg.0.log

If there are any other logs you would like, please advise where I can find them?

EDIT: Running pkg -v window nx on device gives me "Package window is not loaded!!"

Doncuppjr commented 4 years ago

pkg window nx, has to do something. At the very least it won’t be found.

rj-dsl commented 4 years ago

Well there is no output from the command, it just returns to prompt.. So I really do not know what is happening..

I am trying to increse verbosity in a new image.. hopefully that will help.

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

try just nxclient.

rj-dsl commented 4 years ago

so running nxclient give me the help menu.. so i seems to be installed.. Options are:

-- dialog -- monitor -- printer -- version -- display

I tried monitor and display..

monitor returns "Segmentation fault"

display returns "Utility: WARNING! NX personal directory has not been set"

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

So, I don't use NX, I don't know all the options to pass to it, to make it work. When you run it, it logs it's output to /run/applications/nx.$pid. NX chooses to exit 0, even when it did nothing but return help. I think that should be a non-zero exit, but that's just how everybody else does it. Within TS, the launch mechanism is working, you just need to pass the right options.

equid0x commented 4 years ago

I have been recently attempting to create a ThinStation image for NX and am running into the same issue. As best as I can tell, it looks like the functionality previously provided by nxclient has been moved into nxplayer. The run_nxsession script needs to be updated and the package installation needs to pull the nxplayer and nxplayer.bin into the build environment as it doesn't appear to do this on its own.

rj-dsl commented 4 years ago

Will this only require changing run_nxsession or is it required to change all references to nxclient throughout all of the nx files? Is this something the dev is looking into?

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

I'll take a look.

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

I updated the installer, and nxplayer is now available. Not sure it's the right destination though, it appears to be a frontend to nxclient. nxclient is still available, so thats the destination right now.

equid0x commented 4 years ago

So, I tried to get it to go myself but ran out of time and gave up on it all together. As best as I can tell, the functionality for connecting to remote sessions is no longer in nxclient. That is to say, nxclient wouldn't accept the command line options to connect to a remote system but nxplayer does. I tried dumping nxplayer and nxplayer.bin from my Debian box into the image and modifying the run_nxsession to to use it instead, but kept having library problems. However, it didn't dump me the standard help output like nxclient was doing which leads me to believe it would work if the libs were in the right place.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the thinstation build environment to know where to place them so they come out in the build. Debian appears to use a different fs structure for the libs than thinstation does. Exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before execution didn't fix it. There was no strace or ldd in my build so I couldn't figure out where the binary was actually looking for them. I looked at them on the Debian box but those dirs are read-only on the thinstation build.

Oddly, the version already in thinstation is the same as the one on my Debian box so I figured dumping the binaries in there would "just work." The library the binary was looking for is already in the thinstation build, but the Debian package I pulled them from was probably built in a different environment.

FWIW I can execute the command the run_nxession script does using nxplayer.bin instead of nxclient on the Debian box and it does work. The stock script calling nxclient does not work on the Debian box.

I might pull down the new tree and try again to see if I can get it going. Is there a way to skip the full thinstation rebuild process and just update the build with any files that have changed and have it spit out a new iso to try?

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

I have updated the installer. I'm not sure what command structure to use for nxplayer yet, so right now it just launches the front-end. It doesn't look like the nx integration was ever really completed.

Thinstation commented 4 years ago

if you run turn off fastboot, and run build with --savedir, you will have the generated file system localy, and can go cd /build/tmp-tree then run cast to start a new chroot at using that tree as a base., from there you can run /bin/run_nxsession to start the script.

equid0x commented 4 years ago

Thx I just cloned the tree and will play with it a bit and see if I can get it going. It seems like its extremely close to working and in fact, I'm almost 100% I had done a build in the distant past(like 10 years ago) and had this working.

equid0x commented 4 years ago

` Alright... so I've spent a few hours digging into this and here is what I have found so far:

At any rate, here is what I came up with for run_nxession... I don't think there are any revelations here, just a change of the binary name which may well work for the other commands I didn't check: `#!/bin/sh

. /etc/thinstation.global

case $1 in "--admin") nxclient --admin ;; "--wizard") nxclient --wizard

    . /etc/nx.functions
    nx_menu

    if [ -n "$WMNAME" ] ; then
            . /etc/$WMNAME.functions
            wm_menu
    fi

    XTDPID=`pidof xtdesk`
    if [ -n "$XTDPID" ] ; then
            . /etc/xtdesk.functions
            xtdesk_icons
            kill $XTDPID
            xtdesk_icons
            xtdesk & >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
    fi
    ;;

"") /lib/NX/bin/nxplayer

Here is my build.conf: `################################################

--- Thinstation Build Config ---

################################################ # #

This is Thinstation s basic setup file. In this file you decide which

hardware, programs and features to be included in the Thinstation

boot image generated by running "./build".

#

You can customize/limit the possibilities in the thinstation.conf

files later.

#

Anything after a "#" is a comment. You activate "things" by removing

the "#" and remove "things" by putting a "#" in front of them.

#

First we define which modules to include. Modules are hardware

drivers. NEVER include more than necessary - the more modules, the

longer boot time.

########################################################

--- Machine Modules to include in boot image ---

########################################################

A machine profile is a set of modules for a specific set of hardware

components like a thinclient with adapters. It does not include any

filesystem modules, those need to be selected individualy. Making a

a machine profile is a two step process. First you will need to make

an allmodules build like "./build --allmodules" with the extensions-x

package included. Once the client machine is booted with that image

you can open and xterm or telnet in and run "hwlister.sh". hwlister.sh

will compile some lists and attempt to post them to the pxe server assigned

to the client. If the pxe server is this workstation and you are hosting

files directly out of this build env, you can then run

"./mkmachine SOME-MODEL" and the files will be put into the machine folder

under that model name. Now all you have to do is add a line to this file

like "machine SOME-MODEL" and you will no longer have to make

allmodules builds. If this is not the pxe server, you will have to

move stuff around on your own, but the most important files are

modules.list and firmware.list.

################################################

--- Modules to include in boot image ---

################################################

Any modules may be added as "module" or "module_pkg".

If defined as a "module", the driver is included in the boot image.

If defined as a "module_pkg", the driver is added from outside the

image, such as from a tftp server. See note below for more details.

#

Normally you should use "module". Only use "module_pkg" if you want

to dynamically load modules.

Note: If you create a module_pkg network driver, and decide to load it

from a tftp server, it won t work. This is because the image

won t have a network driver to get the module_pkg in the first

place.

It looks like Thinstation doesn't directly use a *.nxs config. I haven't tested if the (I think) thinstation.conf parser will correctly generate the .nxs file needed in the root home directory, but it doesn't look like the terrible nested xml format NoMachine uses has changed much, so it will probably work.

edit to add...

I should be clear that the run_nxsession I modified is in /build/packages/nx/bin before I completed the build process.

Additionally, I haven't used github much at all over the years so I was a moron who didn't know how to attach files(drag and drop, what's that?) It looks like we've gotten some weird display results out of github I don't know how to fix so here are the files...'

Okay... I edited this like 6 times and tried even putting the whole thing in a code tag and get weird results. I give up.

Here is an improved run_nxsession that works with all of the included command options, with variables inserted to make it easier to change the binary names if NoMachine decides to change them again in the future:
