Thanks.

it's easy mate, basically you just have to follow some steps on that guide.
just install the desktop as stated, with that command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

then head to http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=3651
download the file there, then install it using dpkg (follow the guide there)
create the key:

/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --keygen

you can find the key on [FONT=&quot]/usr/NX/share/keys/default.id_dsa.key
[/FONT]which you can add on the client later when you want to connect

then create user & pass for the NX :

/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --useradd YOURDESIREDUSERNAME --system --home

that's it, you can add the key to the client and connect with your user & pass to the NX

hi mate

my OS is Ubuntu x86_64, what package should i install x86_64 or i386? does it makes a difference?

also do i still need to do this?

Step 5 :

Now we need to edit xstartup file... We can do it with this command :

nano ~/.vnc/xstartup

and this

Now you need to replace

twm &

with this :

gnome-session &

Thanks

you have to install the x86_64, if your OS is 64 bit ubuntu

also do i still need to do this?


and this

no, you don't need to that.
just specify the desktop on the wizard, if you're using default desktop (gnome,kde, etc..)

if you're using custom desktop (fluxbox,icewm,etc..), specify it on the Custom section

create the key:

/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --keygen

you can find the key on [FONT=&quot]/usr/NX/share/keys/default.id_dsa.key
[/FONT]which you can add on the client later when you want to connect

then create user & pass for the NX :

/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --useradd YOURDESIREDUSERNAME --system --home

that's it, you can add the key to the client and connect with your user & pass to the NX

how can i do these mate? no nxserver directory, should i install the server on VPS instead, not the client?

EDIT:
nvm, i think i got it

 

[zyb3r]

i got it working, but when i checked the rtorrent-rutorrent default download directory, i got this error:

[SLIDE]http://i.lulzimg.com/d940a7d26d.jpg[/SLIDE]

what is the best recommendation, should i just change the download directory or give permission?

if give permission, how?

Thanks.

 

[masterbator]

give it permission

chown -R yourusername:yourgroup /your/folder/

 

[zyb3r]

it's in root, the default download dir mate:

is it more preferable to just change it to user's directory?

 

[masterbator]

in that case, it is better to just change the folder
you can make one on your /home/ directory
