[ubuntu-cloud] Are the Lucid AMIs with NX server working?

I'm trying the lucid AMI (specifically ami-9ffe11f6) and can't get the
"official" nx client to work with it.

The first error was that the client tried to use a user called "nx at ubuntu",
which doesn't exist:

Mar  8 18:25:52 domU-12-31-39-0A-4A-22 sshd[870]: Invalid user nx at ubuntu from
x.x.x.x

I then noticed that the nx ppa that is installed in this image was pointing to
karmic:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freenx-team-ppa.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
root at domU-12-31-39-0A-4A-22:~#

I fixed that, ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooted.

Now the nx client seems to get further, but it still fails. At least it now
tries the user "nx" instead of "nx at ubuntu". I see lots of debug outout in the
logs, and even a python backtrace (one about a timeout, another about a type
error while dealing with syslog).

I can share the logs with the list if someone wants to see it, but they are
large, maybe it's faster just to fire up the AMI and see it for yourself.
