Makes some good points. X-rays in airports is not as bad as people think they are

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

Sorry it took forever to whitelist you, been very busy and comment was buried in spam. But very GOOD POINT about AllowUsers and also AllowGroups, some people might have an “AllowGroups sshlogins” in their sshd_config file and should make sure that they edit their /etc/group file and for sshlogins group make sure to add ‘nx’ as part of that group. It usually helps to keep an eye on the /var/log/secure file for errors like user nx not allowed because none of user’s groups are listed in AllowGroups … and is also a good place to check you’re on the right track when you see messages like “Accepted publickey for nx from IPADDRESSofNXclient” …

Came across this thread while troubleshooting my NX installation (Ubuntu 9.1 running NXserver, accessing with Windows client). I was getting the same authentication error when trying to access, even after copying keys and all that rigamoroll (sp?) Anyway, in the end Godfearing’s hunch pointed me in the right direction. I noticed the connection attempting to login as user = nx as well. I opened up my SSHD_config file on the Ubuntu NX server and added “nx” to the “AllowUsers” line in this file, re-started the ssh service and wa-la – it worked! My sshd_config file was found at /etc/ssh directory. sudo gedit /etc/ssh/ssh_config

“AllowUsers matt nx”

Good luck to all trying to get NX working. Worth the time and effort IMHO.
Add “nx” to line

cwilbur, I tried yours but unfortunately it replaced all three identical instances on the 3 separate lines in my perltest.txt file. It did not just do a replace on the first line.

vicTROLA: yours looks promising but I keep getting an error: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at testperl.pl line 2.
run as perl testperl.pl perltest.txt
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $i = “”; $i=0; while($_ =~ /BLABLA/g) { if($i <= 1) { $_ =~ ’s/BLABLA/WORKWORK/g’ } else { last;} }

perl -pi -e ‘BEGIN { $/ = undef; } s/find/replace/g;’

Sorry, doesn’t seem to work. I created a text file called perltest.txt with 3 identical lines in it, all saying ‘perltest1′.

I then ran perl -0777 -p -w -e “s/perltest1/WORKWORK/g” perltest.txt

But unfortunately, it didn’t work, it changed all three lines from perltest1 to WORKWORK, not just the first line in the file.

I also tried it with perl – -0777 , ie two dashes but gave unrecognized switch error.

perl -0777 -pi -w -e ’s/find/replace/g’;

The -0777 means to use character 777 (which doesn’t exist) as a line separator, which treats the entire file as one line. This matches the behavior you expect from sed.

Comment on Google Voice Rocks! But the transcribing feature needs improvement by Admin

Nope, doesn’t work yet, or more accurately not anymore, seems that feature has been removed, at least for now.
