Hello all.

I have been using NeoRouter for a while. It's an excellent software and love it. My main operating systems are Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux. As a *nix programmer, I never had any issue with the lack of a decent GUI. But I have to admit that a GUI is handy sometimes and I think that's why many people posted requests here, especially for those friends who need NeoRouter and run Linux or OS X and yet don't know what a terminal is.

Therefore, I have decided to put my coding skills to good use and fill a void that really needs to be filled. I am writing a GUI frontend for the Linux, Mac OS X and Windows NeoRouter clients. Thanks for NeoRouter team provides the interface for the NRClientCLI so that I just need to implement the wrapper to extend it to the GUI. To be flexible, I use the python/wxPython, that is supported by most popular operating systems.

I release it as a open source project and publish it on sourceforge. Hope you like it.

Hi Tigerx, It looks very nice. I have downloaded it. When I update my linux boxes shortly I will give it a spin and report back here. Thank you my friend. Ed

Hi tigerx,

It's awesome!! I've just tried it on my Linux and Mac boxes and it works well. I like it.

Please keep working on it and add more functionalities, I believe a lot of NR users would love it.

Let us know if need any help.

Thanks,
KevinZ - NeoRouter team

I am having troubles installing. Its most likely me and not the software as I am new to Linux.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10, where to I uncompress this download? Does it install an icon on the Applications Menu?

Same old same old, windows users wanting everything to be easier...

I get this error after adding to the source list.

W: GPG error: http://apt.wxwidgets.org hardy-wx Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0E0BCE7F53B087BC

Thanks - this looks great, however I've installed wxPython and the latest version of Python (2.6.4) on Mac OS X and tried to run:
python /Applications/NRClientX/PyNRClientX.py

and got the following error:

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am using Snow Leopard.

Can you try go to the folder /Applications/NRClientX/ and run PyNRClientX.py from there?

TigerX

Yes the program runs now without an error, however there is nothing showing in the small window opened.

I can run nrclientcmd fine by the way and access other computers. I am using the latest version of the NeoRouter client.

Make sure no nrclientcmd is running, as ClientX will execute a nrclientcmd on the background and multiple nrclientcmd cannot run in the same time. Also make sure the path to the nrclientcmd has been exposed so that it can find the command.

Hi,

Really love the fact that someone is on the case with a gui for linux.
I am trying to run it on ubuntu 9.1 but I can't get any reaction out of the inerface at all.

Here is a breakdown of what I have done so far:

- installed the latest neorouter free deb
- installed the all the dependant packages
(sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools wx2.8-i18n libwxgtk2.8-dev libgtk2.0-dev)
- extracted the client to a directory in my home folder
- ran: python PyNRClientX.py

It opens without error, but the only menu functions that do anything are: sign in, about and exit

When I then go to sign in, enter my details and press the "Sign in" button nothing happens, no errors or any other response at all.


WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

any assistance gratefully received,

thanks
