NX 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 8.x and 9.x


Download and install the NX software from NoMachine.

wget $path/nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb
wget $path/nxnode_3.4.0-11_i386.deb
wget $path/nxserver_3.4.0-12_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i nx*

Make any adjustments to your SSH configuration.
(We recommend a custom port for personal servers.)

sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#---
Port 22
#---
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

Make any adjustments to the NX configuration.
(Use username and/or password DBs if you prefer.)

sudo vi /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg
#---
SSHDPort = "22"
EnableUserDB = "0"
EnablePasswordDB = "0"
SSHDAuthPort = "22"
#---
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --restart

Generate a unique public key for your nx account.

sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --keygen
sudo cat /usr/NX/share/keys/default.id_dsa.key

You can either cut and paste the public key into your NX client, or you can copy the file into the directory on your computer where you will store your host keys.
