Does anyone here use it? Used to be awesome... but since Ubuntu got Unity I just can't make it work properly. And I've been trying for a long time on different systems.

I can connect to an existing session using "shadow" but I cannot start a new session. This is obviously no use if there's no existing session to connect to.

I get the error:
Quote:
NX> 596 ERROR: Cannot share session of user: lightdm.
NX> 596 ERROR: User: lightdm is not a NX user.
NX> 105 NX> 280 Exiting on signal: 15


lightdm seems to be the user that the login screen uses. I've tried adding it as an NX user with "nxserver --useradd lightdm" but that fails with:

Quote:
Error: no 'CONNECTED' message from NX Node (NXNodeExec)
NX> 595 ERROR: A fatal error occurred in NX Server.
NX> 595 ERROR: The exception id is: AD0B839C.


Any ideas?
