CentOS 5 :: Need Remote Xsession Like Terminal Server On Windows
May 2, 2009
I need to install in my centos 5.3 a remote sesion login like a Terminal Server on Windows. I tried to use a VNC but I have a problem and it is that the user must be loged before on local machine. I need to can wake on lan my server and log in with that program.
I have a Centos 5.5 and we make remote connections with Xfree from Windows to the Linux Server. We start the Xsession with the option -clipboard, but it's not working. Which settings do I have to change in the server configuration that the clipboard works in the Xsession?
How to setup my server to use it remotely from my Home from a WindowsXP PC.I want to access my CentOS server. Please help me installing GUI or Remote desktop on my server.I have installed FREENX client on my WIndows XP PC now what next to do. what configuration do i need to do.If you have any link to tutorial please let me know.
I have two Centos 5 servers one running Asterisk with PHP installed and another sever running as a MySql Database server, at the moment when I try run simple script to see if I can connect to the remote server I get the following error.Quote:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I have an ubuntu fileserver and an ubuntu laptop both running 10.10.For some reason I can't connect to the server (file or remote terminal) from the laptop, even though I can access ssh through terminal on my mac and have been able to mount the filesystem on another computer running the ubuntu liveCD. I just get the error 'no route to host'.I've tried turning off the firewall on the laptop and re-installing ssh on both computers, but I don't have a clue what to do next!
I use Putty to ssh from my windows laptop to a remote CentOS machine. Is there a way to start a shell that doesnt dies when I disconnect so I can connect again and reclaim it?
My desktop is running 'buntu 9.10 and I have recently aquired a couple of half decent servers running Windows server 2003. I have a few windows app's that I use regularly for work that I have had limited success in running with wine or in vm's. I stumbled upon a how to to call apps in a vm to run seamlessly on the host desktop and did some playing and have succeeded in calling app's on my servers from my 'buntu desktop, the command I have set in my launcher for one of them (DIALux)
My question is, can I change the default application/file association in 'buntu with a custom command so I can double click on a file and have it open in one of these remote app's??If I can, what is the correct custom command to be using as using the above doesn't work at all, it just tries to open the file with rdesktop not the remote app.
I'm currently in the last steps of migrating a CentOS mailserver to the x64 version.However, under the old 32 bit version, I was using XRDP to access the Centos box from my Windows boxes.However I can't seem to find the XRDP package in the standard repos so this is prompting me to look at possible alternatives (XRDP was incompatible with my windows 7 box anyway soI had to RDP to another server of ours running 2003 to RDP into the mailserver which was far from ideal).Basically, I'd like to be able to seamlessly access the Centos box with a standard RDP client.
I know VNC Server/Clients would be an option but RDP gives me the freedom of any windows box being able to access the server on the same adress/port without installing software on any windows box I encounter.Are there any viable alternatives to XRDP ?There's no "add-on" to VNC server that could enable it to accept RDP connections ?
I have a virtual Linux box with a static IP in the cloud.
I have remote sites that have networked PCs that normally act as terminals but also have more than one printer on the Windows Network.
I would like software on the Window's machine to access the known IP address of the server and advertise the printers on the network so they can be printed to with lpr or cups. I don't have a problem manually setting up the printers on Centos if that is necessary. (But I need to know how to do that as well).
I need to know if I can setup a VPN on Windows without it stopping regular internet traffic and how to do it.
I need to know all the steps (what to install, what to issue commands for) to make this happen without using a GUI if possible and if the GUI is easier I need to know which GUI to install.
I also do not have a problem with using a VPN router at the client side if that makes it any easier. Like a Cisco RV120W.
I am at a loss. I can not access my work remote desktop via the terminal server client on my wired box running Ubuntu 10.10. My wireless laptop is able to connect right away once I established the VPN connection. The VPN connection is established on both boxes with no problems.
When I tried the Terminal Server Client on my wired boxed, it says it can not establish a connection. Yet my wireless box gets connected immediately!
I check the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and the /etc/resolv.conf to see if there were any differences, but they are essentially the same. When I have the vpnc connection, they both recognize it and I am able to ping the IP address shown when I do a "ifconfig" on the terminal.
What can be the problem? Anything I need to configure on a wired computer versus a wireless one? What else can I check?
I have just installed CentOS 5. I have set mysql database to access from remote machines. But now the problem is it is not connecting from the local machine now.
I want to remote-desktop into a windows box that happens be hooked up to a linux server.The linux server uses a static IP. I've already enabled remote-desktop on the windows machine, but am wondering what I need to do server-side to make the server's ip forward to the windows machine. I know this can be done with iptables but I'm not sure how to work it.
Im using CentOs on a remote server. I've recently installed phpmyadmin but cant access from [URL] I checked the files and found only 3 folders in /var/lib/phpmyadmin -config / save / upload - all of them empty. Whenever I try intstall phpmyadmin again it just says its already installed and up to day.
I'm using 10.04, and gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 . I have irssi running on screen session on remote host. And I've been struggling for quite many days to configure it to produce either visual feedback or ring terminal's bell when I receive a private message or one of those that are highlighted.
My compiz settings window in General tab has 'Audible bell' checked.
My GNOME terminal has 'Terminal bell' checked.
I also added 'set bell-style audible' to my ~/.inputrc
And I also tried to manually load pcspkr module into my kernel.
No of the above helped or at least I haven't been able to notice any difference.
I also used some commands for irssi to produce bell sign.
I have a lot of problems with the server and I want to reinstall the Centos in order to have a clean system. The problem is that I have access only via ssh console (with putty aplication)
I'm an OS X user that's just acquired a CentOS 5.2 server. The server contains a basic installation of CentOS 5.2 with OpenSSH already installed, which I use to connect to the server using OS X terminal. I have no physical access to the machine and if I somehow cripple OpenSSH I will need to pay a technician to fix the problem for me. So I'd like to get the instructions straight before I go in and mess around with the system.
I want to install a package that will allow me to add additional users so that they can upload files but not mess around with the system configuration. From searching on google rssh seems to be a viable path. So I'd like to go with that unless there's a better option.
I came across these tutorials: SFTP Setup for CentOS 4.5-5.x and How to: Restrict Users to SFTP and Block SSH Shell Access with rssh. But I haven't followed the instructions in either yet. I'm unsure if I'll be able to execute all of the steps remotely without compromising my root account's SSH access.
Newbie on the block with Centos 5.3 on a test server and and Ubuntu on a test workstation Note the wiki on VNC for a windows workstation but presume I could do this more easily from "Jaunty" (Ubuntu v 9.04)
I have a remote CentOS server (5.4 Final) to which I need to add remote access to a GUI front end. I have SSH access to this box (no physical access, I rent it and it is housed in a DC) and I think I have managed to install Gnome correctly:
I have a cent 5.5 server that I only have remote access to. I was wondering if there was a way to view potential updates before I issue the yum update command. I know that there is a notification in X that you can click on and will show you the updates before you actually perform the operation.
I am working on a system with no internet access so I cant use yum. How do I install a feature like X-Windows or GNOME Desktop Environment(using groupinstall) directly from DVD?
I was trying to connect to Windows server from 11.04 I knew the connection worked from a Windows 7 PC
terminal services client (rdp or rdpv5)An error has occurred Details: recv: ~Connection reset by peer
Fix I'd forgotten about the Windows server security. Control Panel, System & Security, System Remote Settings, Remote Desktop has 3 radio buttons. I changed from most secure to medium security.
I deleted my windows and now I am alone with ubuntu I use them before and now I can say that they are really awesome, basicly I want 3 things that I am using and then it will be really awesome.
- Remote Desktop Connection In Windows Server. - A Virtual Camera Like ManyCam - Putty Client
1) ssh to a remote centos server using X11 forwarding 2) open the virt-manager remote application (the virtualization management app) 3) Open the remote console
Just to be clear, my local X11 crashes. I get back to the log in screen.
I get in my Xorg log:
Backtrace:
Fatal server error:
-Is this enough for a bug report? -How I can make X dump a core file for better debugging? -Do -debug RPM packages still exist, and if so, should I install one for the X server and will this help with debugging, and if so, how do I install it.
I have problem with connection to mssql 2000 from centos. i have installed php, freetds, unixOBDC on server Centos. My mssql server on another computer (windows xp). Now, when i tried to connect mssql with php : >> mssql_connect("192.168.179.100","sa","sa")
Centos return to me "Unable to connect to server: 192.168.179.100 in /var/www/html/work/test.php on line 15 "
note: mssql is running on windows, and user and password is same "sa".
The word on all lips are "virtualization" so I decided to smell this flavor. I have a machine running CentOS 5.3 64bit and I have unlimited access to this machine, but I don't want to reach it physically. Is it possible to install and maintain a virtual medium using ssh or other remote connection? When I installed the OS I have selected the packets regarding the virtualization, but now from where can I start? Is somewhere a guide for doing this?
I have built a Centos 5.3 server for a friend of mine that is being used as a NAS server. The server has 4 1TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration and a dedicated non raid system drive for the OS. My friend isnt very Linux literate so I need this bow to be relatively simple. I have worked most of it out but have a question with regards to remote reboot.
I need to be able to shut this device down through the power switch without human intervention (at the moment when the power switch is pushed the server asks to confirm shutdown) the server wont have a Monitor connected so this isn't practical. Is it possible to use the power switch to do an clean, immediate shutdown?
The other option is shutdown through a web page is this something that has been done before? I know he can do it through terminal by issuing a shutdown now command but as I said this guy wants something simple. I don't really want to explain everytime he needs to shut the Server down how to do it if he can just do it via a website or even with the power button.
