It is possible that a system’s dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using dpkg –remove to eliminate some of the offending packages). The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system.

This usually results in the ALTGr key not usable, so German keyboard users can't enter a pipe ("|"), tilde ("~") or a backslash ("\") character. One issue I bumped into quite regularly with Linux clients and Linux hosts from different distributions/localisations is that the keymaps are not compatible. stock NX requires a technical user called "nx" to able to ssh into the NX server with a public/private keypair.įreeNX can work around that for more secure set-ups. It's also able to mend some of the shortcomings of the NX architecture. The libraries that implement NX are released under GPLv2 by that company.Ī server wrapping up the libraries' functionality is available as closed source from NoMachine or as a free product (GPLv2 again) by Fabian Franz, called FreeNX.įreeNX itself is amazing as it is written in BASH (with a few helper functions in C).

It's quite useful as it speeds up working on remote desktops via slow network connections (i.e. There is a add-on technology to X or VNC called NX by an Italian company called NoMachine.
