As promised, edgy-seveas is finally here
I finally created edgy-seveas. Not everything is there yet and no 64bit packages are available for now, but the most requested ones are there. Including a flash 9 beta update of flashplugin-nonfree (which many people requested today 
).
As always: use at your own risk and do not file bugs in the Ubuntu bugtracker.
Update: flash 9 is now also available for dapper-seveas
Thx Dennis, it’ s great! I just love the Flash 9 beta. Works like a charm.
Thanks for flash 9!! Its working great!
I hope even if still in beta form that it can get into edgy + 1. Flash is a super important part of browsing the web.
Will you be adding freenx to this? That’s what I’ve mostly used the seveas repositories for in Dapper and Breezy. I’m looking forward to trying flash 9…
Eamonn: I will definitely not add FreeNX, since developmentof it has come to a complete halt. I will probably add the 2x.com open source version of NX (libs, client, server) though, but not in the really-near-future. (Maybe in early november)
Ah, I didn’t realise that development had stopped. I’ll look out for 2x.com version, then. Thanks!
Besides 2X you may try NoMachine’s free version, available in DEB and RPM binaries. Works like a charm on Dapper LTS
Arik: That’s not free, merely ‘at no cost’ and it is limited to only a few connections and spams syslog. I prefer a completely free-as-in-freedom version.
what do you need to put in your /etc/apt/sources.list in order to get the edgy stuff?
Guys, I’m truing to find the valid db link for freenx running on Ubuntu. I tried all of them include the current seveas.
What I’m doing wrong. I’m running Ubuntu 6.10 and trying to download edgy packages. as error after sudo apt-get install freenx ==> can’t find the package
Help
There is no FreeNX for edgy yet.
FreeNX looks as it is alive. What do you meen with completly stopped?

I believe that a working FreeNX 0.5.0 (NoMachine 1.5) is more importent than waiting for a 2.x. There are many Ubuntu users with problems upgradeing to Edgy without continious support for FreeNX. For them an old version are better than non at all…
I don’y know what the activity thing there is based on, but I have seen *very* little development going on in the past 18 months.
FreeNX 0.5 was released during that “very little development”. It allows one to be compatible with newer NX versions such as 1.5 and 2.0. The 2x.com is not open source and is not functional for non-x86. So it does make sense to include FreeNX 0.5 IMO. I’d do it myself, except that I found it pretty hard to do so.
Au contraire mon ami:
0.5 is only a small update to make it compatible with nx 2.0. And contrary to nomachine.com, the 2x sources (including the server and client) are fully open source.
The 64-bit argument is also completely bogus, since both aren’t 64bit safe.
Yes, but the update does not have to be big. The product is more or less done. All I need is 2.0 support and resuming support (and I feel I’m not alone in that regard). FreeNX 0.5 provides that.
I know where to find the nx 2.0 sources, except nxserver 2.0 source. Where is nxserver-2.0 at http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php then? Where can I obtain the source of nxserver-2.0 to build a package for the architecture I’m using? They claim they support Ubuntu, but way not all architectures. If you go to http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=3 and hover over the “Download package” it clearly refers to nxserver_2.1.0-13_i386.deb.
I don’t know what 64-bit argument you’re referring to. I’m running FreeNX 0.4.5 + NX 1.5.x on a 64-bit architecture (but not x86-64 or AMD64) and it works fine except that it does not support resuming.
You mistake 2x.com for nx 2.0…. they’re different companies. nomachine.com is closed source, 2x.com is open source. And freen finished? LMAO, it’s pretty broken…
And yes running on a 32bit os on 64bit systems works, but running on a 64bit os won’t. That’s what I mean with 64bit-safe.
I’m not sure where you got the idea that NX has had very little development going on. AFAIK a new version was just released…
Sean, NX is alive, but FreeNX not…
will the freenx deb for dapper work on edgy? (i’m assuming no, but just have to ask)
FreeNX 0.6 was released three days ago. Seems to be a fair update. Personally, I think its appeal over the other two is the complete lack of a commercial connection; FreeNX > 2X > NoMachine. On the other hand, NoMachine and 2X really don’t seem that bad. What do mean when you say NoMahine’s no-cost option “spams syslog?”
