  1. How To: Install & Use A GUI With FreeNX on Ubuntu 10.04

    29 March 2012 - 01:09 AM

    How To Install & Use A GUI With FreeNX on Ubuntu 10.04

    Summary: I personally have a need on one of my servers for a gui. There are a bunch of reasons why people would such as some game servers, runuo for example, and if just for fun it can be done on a single node with ispmanager and xfce.

    Before you start, make sure you have the appropriate software to telnet/ssh into your server, such as putty.

    Step One: Installing FreeNX

    • Assuming you're installing on a clean Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit Basic Installation start by installing apt-add-repository (or if already installed skip to next step)
      sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

    • Next lets add the FreeNX PPA
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team

    • Now lets update
      sudo apt-get update

    • And install FreeNX
      sudo apt-get install freenx


    Step Two: Installing & Using GUI

    • I'm using xfce for this but you can use ubuntu kubuntu if you really wanted to. Edit this command to your gui of choice.
      sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop


    • Download and install the version of NX For Your OS
      Windows Linux OSX Solaris

    • Click configure and in host enter your ip or domain name and port. Then Under desktop select UNIX and XDM (or if using another os choose the gui)

    • Enter your username (root) and password. Login and you'll be greeted with an ssh terminal. Type
      startxfce4


    and that's it!
