Linux Remote Desktop tools--Nomachine

To play Linux systems, Remote Desktop software is often used. The 2 I've been using are Xmanager and VNC. See a new software today: Nomachine. Nomachine NX is a fast Terminal Server and virtual desktop software based on the X11 protocol. It is said that the speed is faster than VNC and can even run in only 10k of bandwidth. And the picture is clearer than VNC.

Using nomachine requires configuring the server side and the client.

I. Service-side

The server needs to install 3 packages:

nxserver-3.4.0-12.i386.rpm

nxnode-3.4.0-11.i386.rpm

nxclient-3.4.0-7.i386.rpm

The Linux 32bit is:

Here is the previous instructions for using the Nomachine Web page:

1. Download the RPMs 2. Change your working directory to the location where you are saved the package and install it by running from a console: # sudo rpm-i nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64.rpm # sudo rpm-i nxnode-3.4.0-14.x86_64.rpm # sudo rpm-i nxserver-3.4.0-14.x86_64.rpm

If you don't have the sudo utility installed, log on as superuser ("root") and run the commands without sudo.

Note:click here for detailed instructions on how to install the NX Client, NX Node and NX Server packages. The NX service can be controlled by the Command/usr/nx/bin/nxserver--status|--start|--stop|--restart. Additional commands is available to configure the server. Try/usr/nx/bin/nxserver--help for more information. Please, don ' t forget to download and read the NX Server Administrator ' s Guide available here.

Two. Client

Windows Client Downloads:

http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php

After installation, go to the server.

After running, look at the configuration:

Here we need to enter the host and Remote Desktop type. Now the basic use is KDE and GNOME. If Linux has only one installed, choose the right.

There is also a choice of network type below.

After connecting the screen:

Here are two points to note:

1. Unable to connect with root user

2. If you encounter a problem, check the environment variables:

To launch a desktop session, KDE or GNOME, the corresponding
commands, either STARTKDE or gnome-session must be set in the PATH.

If The command is not a available in the PATH, a error message like:

"Cannot run ' startkde '. Please check the requested application are in
The system PATH and that are the rights to execute it. "
