Installing NX Nomachine server on kubuntu 8.04

Go to NoMachine website.

Download the nx{server, node, and client }.

Follow the instructions to install these.

NOTE: Remember to restart ssh. I did not have ssh, used simple “aptitude install ssh” to get (open)ssh.

It worked!

kubuntu 8.04 X not working

After installing kubuntu 8.04, the screen resolution was too low.

apt-get install nvidia-glx
nvidia-xconfig
restart X to solve the problem

My kubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) installation venture

Installing kubuntu 8.04 LTS

Installation did not go smooth on my multi OS machine.

The installation did not boot with hd6 (for /dev/sda7). Tried “grub-install (hd6)”, then “setup /dev/hd0″. The sytsem stopped booting. It was stuck at “grub>” prompt.

Installed again with grub at (hd0,6) to (somewhat) solve the problem. It works now, I get into Kubuntu’s boot prompt and I can select any of the other OSs.
