sudo apt-get install x2goserver OR sudo dpkg -i nx (after download of nxserver,nxnode,nxclient from nomachine ) Then you just download the client. The nxd service will then be automatically respawned. Local X server running remote programs or remote desktop (see xwin-32) Nomachine and x2go (contrary to what was commented above) are as click-and-go as youll get in ubuntu. The nxd service will then be automatically respawned.This can be verified by executing these commands: To do that:ġ) Retrieve pid () of current nxd process from the output of this command: If for some reasons the nxd service needs to be restarted and the 'nxserver -restart nxd' command doesn't help because of an inconsistent status of the process, it's possible to manually terminate the current nxd process and start a new one. Connected clients will stay connected to their sessions while nxd is stopped or restarted. Running sessions or disconnected session are not affected by a stopped nxd, just new connection by NX protocol will be not possible. If the nxd service is not running for some reasons, the client will receive a message like this:

The Network Server for accepting connection by NX protocol is nxd and is listening on port 4000 by default,
