I found I needed to install the nxclient before the nxnode because of dependencies.Įverything had gone smoothly to this point, but it was here that I came across a problem that I only solved by trial and error.
I chose to navigate from the homepage from the article on the free server.Īgain a bit of a throwback to earlier days, but just three commands executed from the directory where the installation DEB files were stored Finding the free server was not entirely straighforward as there is now the desktop server. Using synaptic install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (this advice came from the NX support site article for NX 1.5 so it may not really be necessary)ĭownloading nxnode and nxclient DEB files from NoMachine Downloads was straightforward. I suppose it is an inevitable consequence of open development but a bit of pain and a real barrier for new users. Installing glib libraries brought back memories of the early days of using linux. The post was not too encouraging but I went ahead with the help of Install NX Server on Ubuntu Dapper Drake. While reading another post I came across NoMachine NX 3.0 improves remote access to Linux boxes which reminded me that I have been planning to look into NX as an alternative to vnc that would not be broken by Xubuntu updates. Since the install I have been careful not to include vncserver in any updates as it has a habit of breaking the setup, but this is not really viable long term. Previous posts documented the trials of setting up VNC on Xubuntu for the old machine that runs as our family server.
