Hi,<br>
<br>
After upgrading our workstations to phenix v1.4-3, the user started
having problems connecting to the machines through nxclient. The login
ended up with a black screen on the client and absolutely no error
messages on neither client nor server.<br>
<br>
The problem seemed to come from setting up the global environment for
phenix (phenix_env.sh). I narrowed the problematic statement down to
this:<br>
<br>
<i>if [ "$PHENIX_MTYPE" = "unknown-unknown" ]; then<br>
exit 1<br>
fi</i><br>
<br>
Although "$PHENIX_MTYPE" = "intel-linux-2.6-x86_64" when logged in,
somehow the "nx user" gets "$PHENIX_MTYPE" = "unknown-unknown" when it
logs in, through it's authorization key, to establish the users session.<br>
<br>
To make a already to long story short. The problem can be fixed by
commenting out the problematic statement above.<br>
<br>
And one question to the developers:<br>
<br>
Could this be avoided in the future? <br>
Perhaps give a warning instead off exiting completly!<br>
<br>
Sincerely<br>
Jesper <br>
