[FreeNX-kNX] Manual Installation How To

[Nicolas Piganeau]

My manual install:
This is what I have done, and what worked for me on Ubuntu with backend v2.1. 
You will probably have to make adjustements.

install the latest NoMachine NX free edition from the packages on NoMachine 
website
rename nxserver and nxnode to nxserver.nomachine and nxclient.nomachine 
in /usr/NX/bin
copy the following files from freenx in /usr/NX/bin:
- nxkeygen
- nxloadconfig
- nxnode
- nxnode-login
- nxserver-helper (you have to compile it first)
- nxserver
- nxsetup
- nxcups-gethost
create symlink of NX/bin/nxserver in /usr/bin
create symlink of NX/bin/nxsetup  in /usr/sbin
copy node.conf.sample to /usr/NX/etc/node.conf
modify line 130 of nxsetup to:
. /usr/NX/bin/nxloadconfig --
and line 349 to
. /usr/NX/bin/nxloadconfig --check $NO_ERRORS

modify the paths in /usr/NX/bin/nxloadconfig at the beginning:
NX_DIR=/usr/NX
NX_ETC_DIR=$NX_DIR/etc
NX_SESS_DIR=$NX_DIR/var/db
NX_HOME_DIR=$NX_DIR/home/nx

modify line 18 de /usr/NX/nxserver to:
. /usr/NX/bin/nxloadconfig --
modify line 706 de NX/nxserver to:
. /usr/NX/bin/nxloadconfig --userconf

run nxsetup
