how to install nomachine on ubuntu 14.04

NoMachine NX Client for Windows star 4.4ĭumbest thing I've ever done with a Linux system.Mistake #1: try to upgrade from an ancient 8.04 LTS Ubuntu OS to 12.04 LTS on a Thursday night. This was a very old web server, very out of date, previous IT guy never upgraded it or patched anything.

It had been running on an ancient server and I had done a P2V conversion a few months earlier. Mistake #2: I had a backup, but turns out it was only a file level backup. Always verify your backups BEFORE doing an upgrade!!! So the upgrade fails mid upgrade. Did I mention that the VM could no longer find SDA1? Yeah. System couldn't see it's storage anymore. So I tried about 10 million different things from Googling. Reinstalling GRUB, putting a new linux image in the boot folder, etc etc. Oddly, the data was definitely still there. I may have accomplished it EVENTUALLY, but it would have taken all weekend, and it was Friday dammit! So I managed to transfer off the entire well, I was too nooby at that time. Once I had the data backed up, I ran an Ubuntu Live CD on that VM and mounted SDA1.

I was then able to change SDA1 to my 'working' drive, and I ran the upgrade again from within the Ubuntu Live environment. This time I selected a few options differently ('don't change the contents of this file, leave them as is', rather than letting the upgrade overwrite them) and it completed with no issues.
