I thought I'd give it a spin. But then I bumped into something that has nothing to do with my original question though. I installed the NX server on the virtual machine (ML4) I started it headless and I'm typing now over ssh. But no luck with NX client, this is what I get in client: ------------------------------------------------------------ NXPROXY - Version 3.4.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2010 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '31830'. Session: Starting session at 'Mon Apr 5 08:39:11 2010'. Error: Can't determine the location of the X display socket. Error: Error 2 'No such file or directory' checking '/tmp/.X11-unix'. Session: Session terminated at 'Mon Apr 5 08:39:11 2010'. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The server authenticates normally, it's just the X that won't run. Then I installed NX also on my current main setup, 11.2. Same result. This is odd, I've never had any issues with NX connections before (latest main setup was 11.0).
