Windows to Linux FreeNX (Ubuntu 6.06)
Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:38 pm
I was setting up "freenx" on Ubuntu Dapper-Drake (6.06.1 Alternate), and thanks to Sevea's repositories and this excellent HowTo I had the nxserver in place and ready for action in no time!
There's also some info in the Ubuntu wiki about FreeNX.
The windows client should have come from NoMachine, but the never client version (2.1.0) doesn't work with FreeNX 1.4.x anymore - so luckily I ran across the older client .exe: http://www.arte.unipi.it/Public/Win32/n ... .0-138.exe
This client was able to connect to my server, but I wanted to "enable printer and file sharing" (service tab) and ran into several errors:
1) smbfs wasn't installed:
2)
(worked fine for me)

1) smbfs wasn't installed:
- install the "smbfs" package.smbmnt: command not found
2)
According to these instructions, execute the following commands:Info: Share: '//W2KSQLSRV/d' failed to mount: smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1001,1001)
smbmnt failed: 1
Code: Select all
$ sudo chmod u+s `which smbmnt`
$ sudo chmod u+s `which smbumount`
