FreeNX version 0.4.4 for Ubuntu AMD64 ------------------------------------- - ia32-libs, dbus-x11 | dbus, openssl were added to package deps - Works with FreeNX client 1.5.x (nxclient-1.5.0-138.exe known to work) A long time ago I desperately needed a good remote desktop utility for my Ubuntu 6.06/Dapper AMD64 install. I hacked someone else's FreeNX release packages requirements data to allow it to install on on AMD64, these packages continue to work on through to Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy. This is a dpkg-repack of freenx + the libs that I originally hacked, they are here so that I can install them on other boxes while I wait for FreeNX to be packaged for Ubuntu AMD64 properly. It's a combination of packages from: http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/dapper-seveas/freenx/ and http://www.math.nyu.edu/faculty/kleeman/amd64/ Installation 1) Add my FreeNX repo: # FreeNX for AMD64 deb http://www.northern.ca/projects/freenx/ ./ 2) Update your repos sudo aptitude update 3) Install the freenx package sudo aptitude install freenx 4) Answer "Yes" when prompted if you whish to install the untrusted packages (I don't have repo keys) 5) Choose "NoMachine Keys" to use the NXClient 1.5.x available at this archive site without any additional setup. 6) Next as the user you wish to login as (not root!!) sudo ssh $USER@127.0.0.1 'exit' # Type 'yes' accept local key sudo sh -c 'echo "AuthorizedKeysFile /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/authorized_keys2" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config' sudo nxserver --adduser $USER sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart sudo nxserver --restart -G
