#NOMACHINE FOR UBUNTU 16.04 INSTALL#

Install an X11 server on the computer that is trying to connect (client). To allow computers to connect with X11 graphics system capabilities as well, you need to Remote Desktop between any OS's Step-By-Step guideįirst do the following on the server computer that you will connect via remote desktop: - Allow other users to view your desktop You'll be fine with that if you follow step by step (promise!). In case you missed it, i will list the entire procedure below (which was a pain to assemble).

Disable firewall ( sudo ufw disable) on server pc and then recheck (might even need another restart).

On file /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini add address=0.0.0.0 which is the default xrdp address.Īlso you have to permit firewall to listen to connections on port 3389 that xrdp is working on. NxServer can tunnel RDP sessions, but doesn't work on windows. Great clients for all main desktop OSes and a java-based one that can be embeded on a web.

Cross-OS client: I haven't found a decent Andriod client.

Ease of use: NxServer is very easy to setup and administer.

Free-ness as in beer: NxServer up to 3 users.

Efficiency: Right now I'm tunnelling Windows RDP sessions in NX and having better speeds than naked RDP.

Security: They all are SSH connections.It's far from complete but usable, and totally open source. X2go was another company that build a open source product based on NoMachine open source libs.įinally, Google has released NeatX, a complete independent implementation of the NX protocol.

NoMachine has announced on December 21th 2010 that the next version it's NX technology (NxServer 4) will be close source only. FreeNx is build with this back-end and is always somewhat less polished, and a couple of versions behind the NoMachine server. The relationship isn't complex, NoMachine had a proprietary product (free as in beer up to 3 users) but releases the back-end stuff as open source.

We use FreeNX on the server and the proprietary but free NoMachine client on the desktops (both Ubuntu and Windows). I'm using right now FreeNx in production, and in the past our company has been a NoMachine customer.

Ongoing support/maintenance/development.

Support for independent sessions and shared (and/or 'Console') sessions.

Free-ness, as in Beer (are there any commercial solutions with usable dependable free offerings?).

Free-ness, as in Speech (not sure where RDP or FreeNX lie for this).

Efficiency (bandwidth usage, responsiveness, etc).

So, I'd like any feedback/preferences amongst these or any other 'Free' desktop sharing options, using these criteria and/or any others: X11 forwarding over SSH may be more or less efficient, I have no idea, but is definitely even more complicated, and doesn't (as far as I know) give you access to already-running stuff (no desktop sharing as such, just remote application running). To the best of my knowledge straight VNC is none of those things, which is where I get confused – why wouldn't a better desktop sharing technology be developed or used in the open-source world? I know VNC can be wrapped with SSH, but that seems beyond the reach of a casual user. I'm coming at this from a Windows user's perspective: To the best of my experience, RDP (aka Terminal Services) is a reasonably secure (barring mitm/server spoofing), efficient desktop sharing protocol with well-supported clients, that can be exposed to the internet when necessary without major fears of intrusion. Here are the possibilities I've heard about so far: Test, you should now be able to have whatever screen size you configured on the client side and also graphical display management tools will function.I know Ubuntu comes with a 'Remote Desktop' option that appears to be a straightforward VNC server, and I'm trying to understand the alternatives. This step will also bring in all dependencies:

Edit the list of packages to remove everything after the package name:.

Identify all the libnx related packages:.

#NOMACHINE FOR UBUNTU 16.04 UPDATE#

To update your libraries and all the related x2go software it is necessary to perform the following steps: This is because the existing x2Go xserver has xrandr version 1.2 built in and at least 1.3 is required by Ubuntu 16.04. Without these steps installing x2goserver on Ubuntu 16.04 will result in server sessions stuck at 800×600 resolution. I would like to thank Mike DePaulo for his assistance getting X2Go to work properly with Ubuntu 16.04.
