Install FreeNX via putty+xming

    Installing the FreeNX server on Ubuntu 9.10.
    I use putty.exe + xming to login to ubuntu via ssh

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo aptitude install freenx

   Now use nxsetup to install necessary files and create the special user "nx"
   $sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install

   FreeNX Client installation in ubuntu 9.10 
   If you want to install opensource client for freenx use QTNX,QTNX NX client for QT instal
   qtnx using as follows.

   $sudo apt-get install qtnx

   Install Freenx client in windows
   You can download freenx windows client from here and install.

For start
$sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server start
For stop
$sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server stop

Errors..
If you get Cannot initialize the display service problems follow this instructions
 If you get "The nx service is not available or the nx access was disabled" error
To fix this, connect to your SSH and type:
$cat /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key
Copy the text you get and in your NX client, on your login dialog box go to:
Configure… > General Tab > Key
