Comments

Which manpage are you referring to?

wirth the old instance, it showed that a symlink from /usr/share/nx/fonts
to /usr/share/fonts/X11 was missing. Creating this (and restarting) made
the font path change to
/usr/share/nx/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/nx/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/nx/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/nx/fonts/100dpi,built-ins
which contains the needed elements.
- is this the right way to do this?
- why was the symling missing? install scripts broken in general, or
just failing for me?
- is there some other way to set the (default) font path?
- in the ubuntu bug tracker is a similar issue, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x2goserver/+bug/1891825
- man page says 'The default font path is __default_font_path__' which
seems broken
- as far as I know, xorg x11 manages to dynamically change the font
path with fontconfig. While this may be out of scope for nx, the proper way
of changing the default font path, and a restart being needed, should be
documented, because expectations of users may be different.

manpage of nxagent - see the Ubuntu bug tracker link. Same issue in my man pages |
|
I have openend #1041 for manpage part of this. |
|
On my debian (not devuan) system I have a package called nx-X11-common which contains the missing symlink, amongst other stuff: So can you please check if your package dependencies are working? |
|
On my system, the package doesn't contain the symlink. dpkg -L nx-x11-common dpkg -l nx-x11-common apt-cache show nx-x11-common So it seems to be an original Debian package (most Devuan packages are) which is broken / incomplete? |

Yes, seems so.

I have just build debian packages with current HEAD and which resulted in nx-x11-common including the link. So can you please open a bugreport @Debian? |
|
Opened Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1006662 |
|
I just uploaded a fix for this to nx-libs 3.5.99.27-1 (testing/unstable) and about to upload as nx-libs 3.5.99.26-5+deb12u1 (bookworm). The official DEBs were missing debian/nx-x11-common.links (which is present in this repo). So the issue was specific to the official Debian package. |
