How can I fix a 404 Error using a PPA?

I was trying to install it and I got something like this...

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Can someone guide me through installing it on Ubuntu's latest?

Thanks,

What I ended up doing was installing the free Version of NoMachine NX Server, located hefer http://www.nomachine.com/select-package-server.php?id=1&ids=2

The free version is limited to 2 sessions but I figured that should be enough to cover my needs right now. Thanks for your input.

I wrote a script to compile and instal freenx server on Ubuntu 11.10. See my blog:

I would recommend x2go. It's based on NX, but the server is incompatible with FreeNX and Nomachine. But it has things like PulseAudio integration, which makes it a little nicer to play with since you can then use VoIP, etc. Just add deb http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ lenny main to your repos, update apt, and install x2goserver and then x2goclient on your client, from the same archive.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team

sudo apt-get update

sudo aptitude install freenx

after that use nxsetup to install necessary files and create the special user “nx” type these "sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install" and if you want to install opensource client for freenx use QTNX,QTNX NX client for QT install qtnx using the following command "sudo apt-get install qtnx"
