Installing FreeNX on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04

I foundit pretty easy to do, the hard part was finding consistent instructions, so I blogged it to make sure I didn’t forget.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freenx-server

You can download and install the nxclient from the nomachine website here. Just follow the instructions further down the nomachine website link.

    Thanks for the instructions. Did you get sound to work on the clients? On the newer versions of Ubuntu that do not use the Enlightenment Sound Daemon, I have not been able to get sound working. We have a thin client lab at our school. Thanks.

    I’ve not looked into getting sound to work, since it wasn’t needed for my particular situation. Still, if you happen to come across a solution in your travels feel free to get in touch and/or post a comment or little Howto and I’ll add it.
    Thanks,
