Fix Authentication Failed error: Get FreeNX NoMachine NX working on Mint 4.0 or likely any Ubuntu or Debian based Linux

April 23rd, 2008

Well I didn’t have a good time getting the NXSERVER from NoMachine to work right after downloading the .deb debian package files from their website, the client, the node, and the server module.

(Windows NX client dies/exits with this error:)
NX> 200 Connected to address: xx.xx.xx.xx on port: 22
NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
NX> 204 Authentication failed.

Apparently NX server installs the ssh keys in the wrong place, when you try to login with the NX client it looks in some /usr/NX/share/ instead of /usr/NX/etc/keys and the easy fix is to simply run /usr/NX/bin/nxserver –keygen and it will recreate keys in the right place, then just go and recopy the key from inside the client .key file in the shared keys directory and paste it in your NX CLIENT and the connection will then complete successfully. If you don’t know where nxserver is just try to do a whereis nxserver or which nxserver or use locate or do a find / -name nxserver

Well, I hope this helps someone get their FreeNX remote control software working because I sure don’t want anyone suffering through the pitiful performance of VNC!

Might I add that I find Mint to be a wonderful Ubuntu/Debian based distribution, highly recommended especially for those who don’t just need it as a server but also as their primary DESKTOP operating system. This Mint OS has it all, plays all your music, movies, DVDs out of the box. You can still install Automatix or any other Debian .deb packages or use the built-in excellent Synaptic package manager or the unique MintInstall to install popular software with one click of a button off an ever-growing list on the website.

I run Mint 4.0 as a VM (VMWARE Virtual Machine) under 64-bit CentOS x86_64 4.2 and its nice to know FreeNX supports file/printer sharing and multimedia for rerouting AUDIO from the server to the client.

Software Developers will LOVE the one click install of the ECLIPSE IDE and Mono .Net platform. If you thought Ubuntu was great, think of this as a special MINT version!

Will McCain try and reach out to conservatives or will GOP snub its base yet again?

April 11th, 2008

Steve Holland wrote that to the GOP, “Mike Huckabee is considered too inexperienced to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.” A strange word (inexperienced) to use for the man who is actually more experienced than the other candidates that were mentioned. The TRUE reason is that the GOP would rather see Clinton or Obama president over any chance of Mike Huckabee becoming President if anything would happen to McCain, considering he will be the oldest President.

The GOP is all about aristocracy, they consider themselves the “Ruling Class”, the “Skull & Bones” club with inherited wealth and power. They will do their best to not allow anyone passage to the Presidency who is not one of them or who will not be happy to be their puppet. Mike Huckabee has shown that he is a man of conviction, a man of principles, a man of his word. The GOP wants nothing to do with him.

Huckabee has said in a 4-10-08 conference-call that the McCain campaign has not even notified him that he’s on their list of running-mates considered. I am certain that Mike Huckabee is not on their list, the only way this may change is if they feel they will certainly lose without him and if they feel they can ‘rein him in’ quickly and make him their puppet. You can read the pathetic doublespeak about Huckabee yourself at http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080411/pl_nm/usa_politics_mccain_vp_dc

Mike Huckabee has always been very respectful towards McCain and has stated that conservatives should support him because Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton will take the country completely in the opposite direction we want it. McCain though, has yet to return the favors and give true conservatives everywhere even a hint that he is considering Mike Huckabee as his VP running-mate.

Charlton Heston dies at 84 after battling Alzheimer’s, may he rest in peace…

April 7th, 2008

In 2002, near the end of his five years as president of the NRA, Heston disclosed he had symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s disease. “What you can’t cure, you must endure…” - Charlton Heston.

Soon after Heston publicly disclosed his battle with Alzheimer’s, Moore sought him out to discredit him and his gun-control views, in the hopes of advancing gun-control laws. (His interview of Heston, in usual relentless and repetitive fashion fishing for a political faux pas, was used in Moore’s 2003 best documentary winner “Bowling for Columbine,” which blasted America for lack of gun-control.)

Moore used a clip of Heston holding aloft a rifle at an NRA rally and proclaiming “from my cold, dead hands.” The director annoyingly and disrespectfully flustered the actor in an interview later in the film by pressing him on his gun-control stance. Heston eventually walked out on Moore, having had enough of Moore’s pompous and condescending attitude.

(Towards the end Moore keeps badgering Heston asking him to apologize …. I wonder when Moore will apologize for shamelessly attacking someone who had just announced he’s battling Alzheimer’s.)

Moore’s Web site on Sunday featured a photo of Heston, the date of his birth and death and a note from the actor’s family requesting that donations be made to the Motion Picture and Television Fund in lieu of flowers.

Moore did not respond to e-mail and phone requests seeking comment.

The Presidential Election is just another ‘Family Squabble’, in the end the GOP and DEMs are on big happy family!

March 26th, 2008

The Presidential Election is just another ‘Family Squabble’, in the end the GOP and DEMs are one big happy family, and as long as the CROWN stays in the family, they’re happy! Barack Hussein Obama jokes about his cousin Cheney at campaign appearances. Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662. Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769. Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, declined to comment on the senator’s ancestry. President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison, Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee are all distant cousins of Barack Hussein Obama, son of a white mother from Kansas and black father from Kenya. Barack Hussein Obama is supposedly even a distant cousin of Brad Pitt.

If you’ve wondered why you hate Hillary Clinton so much, perhaps its because she’s of French-Canadian descent on her mother’s side and is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Author Jack Kerouac and Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles of England are also distant cousins of Clinton’s. It has been claimed that Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins, twice removed, both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718 but others vehemently disagree unable to comprehend possibility of shared genetics between the beauty and the beast.

My own personal research has led to the discovery that Obama, Clinton, and the rest of the DEM and GOP are all close cousins of the red-bearded Orangutan.

Huckabee, exposing the GOP: “Smug, Elitist, Arrogant Attitude” will be the Death of the GOP

March 3rd, 2008

Mike Huckabee responds to the GOP attacks on his campaign. Why do the GOP long-time “Politicians” hate and fear Mike so much?

Perhaps they disagree completely with Huckabee that Presidents and/or the GOP “aren’t elected to the ruling class, you’re elected to the servant class” The GOP prefers a view of Kingly “Coronation” and Lordship over the serfdom.

“Remember, when government does something for you it first has to take something from you.” - Mike Huckabee

“The smart thing to do is pick someone who believes that it is not the purpose of government to fix us, it’s the purpose of us to fix the government.” - Mike Huckabee speaking to huge Texas crowd of ethusiastic supporters.

Mike Huckabee confident and cool happily roasting himself on SNL comedy

March 2nd, 2008

It was quite fascinating to see how many lame articles have tried to pass this SNL stunt as having some real news in it, as usual the dishonest (either that or retarded) conservative haters (used to read liberals but nowdays mainstream GOP qualifies) posted articles saying that Huckabee had overstayed his welcome on the SNL show but the ‘entire’ thing was orchestrated, it was Huckabee showing he’s a serious guy yet knows how to have some fun. Yep, Huckabee may be a serious guy but he can party.

Mike Huckabee Rockin’ out: Born to be Wild, Down with the IRS!

“I’m a conservative; I’m just not mad about it,” - Mike Huckabee

Here’s the SNL skit

It pays to be Jewish, to the tune of $22Million!

February 29th, 2008

Well, apparently, one good way to make some millions these days is to pick a Jewish ‘writing name’, make up a fantastic Holocaust story and pass it off as your true autobiography. Then just wait for the millions to roll in, well, that’s exactly what Misha Defonseca did! But now due to misunderstandings between Misha and publisher over share of profits, she admits that it was all made up, that her book “”Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years” is nothing but fantasy, and in fact says that she is not even Jewish but that she ‘felt’ Jewish because she didn’t think she was treated well because her parents were Belgian resistance fighters. (Personally I can’t say I’m ‘that’ surprised she didn’t travel almost 2000 miles around Europe with a pack of wolves in search of her deported parents as stated in her book! Her parents were arrested, when she was 4, and she was raised by her grandfather and uncle, at least we hope this isn’t fantasy also. Her real name is Monique De Wael and she asks that everyone think of her as the 4 year-old girl who lost her parents, well, maybe if it was that 4-year old girl who wrote the book not deceitful adult going after millions of dollars.)

Well, anybody else feel like they’re Jewish “Holocaust survivors” because they had a hard life? Darn it, and to think, I could ‘a been a millionaire, well I’m out looking up potential Jewish names….

Hoodwinked by the GOP: Precipitate to a New Grand Party of True Conservatives

February 23rd, 2008

Has the time come for all true conservatives to shed their allegiance to the GOP or be hoodwinked to death!? Can the GOP be salvaged, is it worth the battle to save or is it too far gone and should we cut our losses and get out while we can? It seems we are afforded less options than with Iraq, is there really any viable path to the White House for true conservatives? Will the GOP’s blatant disregard of its conservative base finally lead to its final demise and the emergence of a New Grand Conservative Party?

What should the stated tenets of this New Conservative Party be? If I may, I would contribute:

Government may have no lien on a person or his property. - FREEDOM from SERFDOM.
Government may not TAX any personal property of its citizens, for any PROPERTY TAX is tantamount to denial of ownership in that it defrauds all citizens of real property rights and delegates them to a status of serfs or tenants renting land or other property from the Government. Whether the MAFIA collects ‘protection money’ or government extorts perpetual “property taxes”, both are unjust.

Government may not forcefully mandate that its citizens purchase any form of INSURANCE, be it life insurance, health insurance, or car insurance. (On a side-note, in my opinion, INSURANCE “Businesses” should be regulated similarly to the LOTTERY, these INSURANCE companies should be non-profit and although should be run by ‘business’ not government I think it would be best to have various companies compete for the “right” to be “THE” car insurance company, “THE” health insurance company, and so on. Just like we do not allow everyone to start their own Lottery, every millionaire shouldn’t be allowed to start their own insurance scam..oops meant “company”. If the money is in one place instead of investors’ pockets, paying out to valid claims will no longer be an issue.)

Federal Government is RESPONSIBLE for SECURING NATION’S BORDERS. The only people who can get in should be the ones we CHOOSE to let in.

Federal Government must not interfere with State Governments in local citizens preferences in respective states. The Federal Government can not directly arrest or detain any citizen, it must be done at the local level, in the citizen’s city with jury served from accused citizen’s local area.

Care to add?

Mike Huckabee gets huge support from Texans. Is Texas for Mike?

February 22nd, 2008

Mike Huckabee gets support from Texans in the thousands. Is Texas for Mike?
Although the media and the GOP has done their best to destroy Mike Huckabee’s run for the Presidency, Texas is one place which seems hasn’t followed the media’s and GOP’s mandated instructions. Texans apparently prefer to make their own decisions, thousands unexpectedly showed up at Mike Huckabee Rallies in defiance of the GOP and the general media. It’s no surprise that the GOP has pushed and forced just about anyone they can to endorse McCain before Texas is decided. They weren’t stupid, they know McCain can not win in Texas on his weak record against a strong conservative like Mike Huckabee. Their only hope was to convince as many people as possible that McCain is the only Republican left, they definitely would not want to have McCain debate Huckabee, that would be a disaster for McCain. The GOP has really gotten ahead of itself, they’ve become so full of themselves that it never crossed their mind that the REAL CONSERVATIVES all over America that they’ve INSULTED through their narcissistic moves to dictate the outcome of the Republican Primary and defraud the people of their vote, that we the people would stay home and not waste our time doing their bidding. The GOP will LOSE the Presidential election because of this, but in my opinion they really couldn’t care less. The GOP is no longer a CONSERVATIVE PARTY, the current GOP would MUCH prefer Barack Hussein Obama in the White House over a true CONSERVATIVE.
