I have a question about the "How To Set Up A Terminal Server In Linux Using Ubuntu 9.10 And FreeNX" post found here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-a-terminal-server-in-linux-using-ubuntu-9.10-and-freenx I have followed the guide and it works great - however I have added a second user to my Ubuntu Desktop application and the nxclient fails to connect for this user, I get to the point where I see the big red letters come up in a window and then get the following details as to why the connection fails: Info: Display running with pid '4956' and handler '0x40a24'. NXPROXY - Version 3.4.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '2748'.

Session: Terminating session at 'Wed Feb 10 23:34:54 2010'. Session: Session terminated at 'Wed Feb 10 23:34:54 2010'. Does anyone know what the problem is? Many thanks!
It looks like you're trying to connect to a KDE session -- is that what you intended, because in my howto it only gave instructions for Gnome sessions. Not that it can't be done, but I figured I'd check. If you: Code: aptitude install kubuntu-desktop It will install the KDE desktop and you can pick which you'd like to use from the NX Client menu. To answer your question, how I added users was in the System -> Administration -> Users and Groups. Command line should work as well, but I've not tried it.
