How to Install FreeNX in Ubuntu 9.04

[kex]

FreeNX allows access to a machine remotely via ssh. The display is particularly powerful (especially compared to X11 over ssh). It's the equivalent of Windows Terminal Services.

FreeNX is a free NX server using the NX (There are also commercial servers).

Here's how to install FreeNX in Ubuntu 9.04.

Install the ssh server

(If you have not already done):

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Add deposits FreeNX

In your / etc / apt / sources.list add:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu jaunty main

[kex]

Install FreeNX

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freenx


(you'll get a warning because the key deposits launchpad is not installed, this is normal).

You can now access your server with any NX NX client (you can find NX clients for Linux, Windows and MacOSX free website NoMachine.com).

The server provided by this filing has been successfully tested with the NX client from NoMachine version 3.3.0-6.

Note

If you run the ssh server on a port other than 22, change the configuration of FreeNX:
/ Etc / nxserver / node.conf, put:
SSHD_PORT = 11122

Remember to restart your server NX:
sudo / etc / init.d / freenx-server stop
sudo / etc / init.d / freenx-server start
