Installing FreeNX under Ubuntu 9.04




Intro


FreeNX allows you to access to a machine remotely via ssh. The display is more powerful compared to X11 over ssh and it can be describe as an equivalent of Windows Terminal Services.

FreeNX is a free NX server using the NX protocol.


Installation of FreeNX under Ubuntu 9.04.
==Installing the ssh server==

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Adding FreeNX components


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

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

Installing FreeNX


sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install freenx 



You can now access your NX server with any NX client (you can find NX clients for Linux, Windows and MacOSX on http://www.nomachine.com/download.php)

Note


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

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