Connect Ubuntu 11.10 from Mac Lion using NX Player

Question

On Lion, only NX Player is supported, but if you are connecting to Ubuntu 11.10 that require Unity 2D, previously you can set something like "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d " in your NX Client's configuration.

But, seems NX Player is lacking of this flexibility to set this.

So, how to connect to Ubuntu 11.10 from Mac Lion?

Answer 1

You can also use NX Server v4 on your Ubuntu server, which will support the Unity window manager just fine.

Answer 2

You can use OpenNX (http://opennx.net)

You also need to pass the argument gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d to the NX Client.
