![]() They are either binaries or session files but none that shows me what login script is executed. Here are the files I have that start with nx*. ![]() Q: Either I need to know how to get from "NX>" nxserver prompt to a shell prompt OR I need to know which files essentially NX is executing (.bashrc etc.) so I can change those. So when I open the TERM window in GNOME, I essentially get this:Īs such there is no way I can get to a shell prompt in this case to become "root" My real problem is that in remote GNOME desktop, the user logged in is "nx" and I need to get to "root" HELLO NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-73 OS (GPL, using backend: not detected) If I say quit/bye, I am out back to ~]# id I do not know (and could not find out) how to get out of that to the shell prompt. When I su into "nx", I get this NX>105 prompt. And I was not able to find out which files get executed when I su into nx. Just in a simple PuTTy ssh shell, if I sudo into user "nx" I get the same exact results as if I did it in the GNOME TERMINAL window. In any case, I do not need to even remote in to demonstrate the issue I'm having. That did not help (may be I missed something). ![]() I tried to go through all the directories listed (some of them are not there) including the current session information. ![]() If there is some other way to sudo into root? Obviously the TERMINAL is running some NX start up script (I've no idea which one). I do not need this as I'm already authenticated and logged in to remote GNOME desktop. Note that this is a prompt NOT on client but on the remote machine. For life of me, I cannot get around this prompt (I looked at NX documentation too). I need to get to a shell prompt so I can su into root. When I open the Terminal window, all I get is the NX>105 prompt. I do not want to install this from my plain SSH connection to EC2 (hence the NX server etc.). I expected to open the Terminal window and get a shell prompt to su into root user (I need to be root to install some software that needs GUI). I see the usual CentOS desktop and poke around. Thanks to the wiki, I can connect to the EC2 machine and get the GNOME desktop fine. I was able to follow the wiki to add NX server. I've created a brand new CentOS 5.4 (Final) 64bit machine AMI on Amazon EC2.
