NoMachine NX handles remote X Window System connections, and attempts to greatly improve on the performance of the native X display protocol to the point that it can be usable over a slow link such as a dial-up modem. It wraps remote connections in SSH sessions for encryption.
Install
NoMachine NX requires installation both on the server and client side. Detailed installation instructions for both can be found here.
NX Server
Get it from here.
On Ubuntu, download the 3 packages client, node and server, then install them:
sudo dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i nxnode_3.4.0-14_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i nxserver_3.4.0-14_i386.deb
Control the service with
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --status|--start|--stop|--restart
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --help # help instruction
Don't forget the server administration manual.
To enable printing with CUPS:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp
NX Client
Get the free NX Enterprise client from here. Online manual is here.
Usage
- Top right corner: show the menu
- Ctrl-Alt-0: show the menu

Simplest workaround, in a terminal:
