    11.10 + NX (nomachines) + Gnome

    Hi all.

    This is my problem.

    I've updated 11.04 to 11.10 with no problem at all. Nothing except that gnome and gnome shell were not installed from the update process. (?)

    Ok. I've included them (both gnome, gnome-panel, gnome-shell) in a manual install, and I can use them (as Unity) with no problem at all.

    I use this machine as a NX server, and I've noticed that NX is not compatible with Unity and Gnome Shell, so I have to use Gnome "classic" as desktop.

    When I start NX client from remote machine, GNOME is selected, and it works, BUT gnome-panel is not loaded. An odd desktop is shown, I have to Ctrl+F2 run a gnome-panel and so. But this is not acceptable to my users (i.e. wife).

    Any idea???

    Does anybody have gone into anything like this? Should I reinstall?

    Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciate.

    ^_Pepe_^
    (P.S. There's nothing bad with NX client and server. I've installed KDE, and works)

    I'm also having this problem. I use Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop at home and workstation at work. I'm installing kbuntu in hopes that I'll regain usefulness from my NX sessions.

    This person figured it out. It worked for me:

    This isn't working for me. When I try I get the error: Failed to load session "2d-gnome". Any ideas?

    The problem is that by default nxserver starts gnome is a away that triggers Gnome to start in Unity. To bypass Unity entirely simply edit:

    /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg

    Comment out this line:
    CommandStartGnome = "/etc/X11/Xsession gnome-session"

    And replace it with this line:
    CommandStartGnome = "/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-classic"

    BTW, Here are some other related threads:

    Hi.

    I've changed these settings in my server and works fine for Ubuntu clients, but not in Windows and Mac.

    Please find attached the screen shown. No menus started.
