No. The whole thing should be re-written . . .

Failing that the default should be changed (in nxloadconfig)

yup - nxloadconfig sets default values
which are then changed from
        /etc/nxserver/node.conf
and
        /etc/nxserver/node.conf.d/*
        /etc/nxserver/$USER.node.conf

Well the quickest padge would be to change
the default value in nxloadconfig

What did actually happen ?? What shows up in the log . . .

Well, you will get to there if you don't set

        ENABLE_EXTERNAL_NXVIEWER="1"

which causes nxserver to change from vnc to vnc-helper  . . .

if [ "$ENABLE_EXTERNAL_NXVIEWER" = "1" -a "$(getparam type)" = "vnc" ]
                then
                        type="vnc-helper"
                        application="$PATH_BIN/nxviewer_helper"
 
PARAMS="$PARAMS&type=$type&application=$application&freenx_export_agents=1"
                        CMDLINE=$PARAMS
                fi
        fi

so you should see that in your logging . . . . .

Also, check you have an executable

        /wherever/ubuntu/put-it/nxviewer_helper
