CentOS 5 :: Enable 5.5 For Remote-to-local X Display
Sep 1, 2011
my local box is centos 5.5 running gnome.
I have a eucalyptus instance (vm) running an older version of centos (5.3?). As a vm it has no graphical display. I'd like to run a graphical app there so that it displays back on my local machine.
Used xhost locally and it shows the remote IP (eucalyptus instance) as enabled. On the remote side (eucalyptus instance) I set DISPLAY with:
export DISPLAY xx.xx.xx.xx:0.0
where xx.xx.xx.xx is my local ip address. Oh, I did install X in the vm instance (yum groupinstall "X Window System"). X is installed but not running there (does the point of origin of the x app need to have X running as well - and what does this mean in a vm which is a non-graphicla environment?).
Anyway, I try to run (from remote to local) xclock and get the typical
Error: Can't open display.

I'm running nxfree to log into my remote xubuntu PC from my local xubuntu laptop since the X protocol was broken.Has been working fine. Recently upgraded from Lucid 32bit to Maverick 64bit Xubuntu.Now when I run nxclient in fullscreen mode, if I minimize the window (or just log out) my local display does not return.I'm left with just the background colour. The windows are still there but not visible. For example I can:* randomly right-click and a menu pertaining to the invisible window appears;* press alt-tab and cycle through the windows but activating one does not display it (it remains invisible);* press ALT-F and bring up the current active (but invisible) application file menu;Basically I press ALT-F and ALT-TAB and close everything and then log out and log back in to restore the windows/panels.

I installed syslog-ng so I can receive remote logs. this is working however since I disabled syslog on my syslog-ng server I am not logging in /var/log/messages cron and some others.locally)I know this is because my syslog-ng.conf only references remote and not local.How can I edit the syslog-ng.conf file so that I can receive remote and local? I tried this however when adding in portions of the default config, I only receive local and not remote logs anymore. I am forwarding my config.
# syslog-ng configuration file.
#
# This should behave pretty much like the original syslog on RedHat. But

I would like to replace my aging Freenas box with a CentOS based NAS. I would like it to have the following features:
- SAMBA with Web admin
- BIND with Web admin
- Nice to have would be native AFP support for my MAC
Question 1: Is SWAT still the current Web-based config tool for SAMBA or is there something newer?
Question 2: Is there a decent, reliable, web front end for BIND?
Question 3: Is there a current AFP guide for CentOS, everything I am finding via Google is years old.
I would also like to build a second server that I would host off-site to sync my data to.
- I was thinking OpenVPN for the link between the servers. The "remote" NAS will have to be the one initiating the connection.
Question 4: Is OpenVPN the way to go or is there something better? (I need bidirectional communications)
Question 5: Is rsync still the way to go for the data sync or is there something newer which would be lighter and/or faster?
Just need some "current" advice overall - I think the last SAMBA box I built was 4-5 years ago so what I learned then may not be applicable today.

Running Ubuntu 9.10. In the Remote Desktop config dialog I get: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 127.0.0.1 or tabatha.local." I understand this means only the loopback ip address is available. All my other machines show their true local ip address (e.g., 192.168.1.104) in this dialog. Thus I cannot log on to this desktop from other machines.
When I try to do a remote logon from another Ubuntu 9.10 box (or from an XP box using a VNC viewer), I get: "Connection to 192.168.1.102 has been closed." What steps are needed to make this machine show its actual ip address? All file sharing between the various machines is working properly and all windows shares back and forth between XP and 'nix, and among the the vaious XP boxes and linux boxes are available as designed.

I'm trying to rsync a folder(and all subfolders) down to a local directory, upon completion I'd like the remote folder to be deleted.
What I've come up with is
Code:
rsync -rvtW --remove-sent-files -e ssh user@example.com:/remote/folder /local/folder
What this is doing is simply wiping the remote files within folders(not the folders themselves) and not actually syncing anything down to my local folder(as in no files at all on my /local/folder)

I have the need to SSH into a Slackware 12 box to provide remote support. I got this, but it doesn't provide for a real 2-way communication.
while : ;
do read -p "Enter text to Local: " TXT ;
DISPLAY=:0 Kdialog --inputbox "$TXT" ;
done
So this loops and all, but it doesn't have a history and I have to wait for a return from the Local operator. If the operator has changed focus I can be waiting all day for a response and I would have to start another session to post a second comment.
What is nice is that it's small and I can create the .sh when I remote in.
-----Update since I started
I now have two scripts to take over from the first one. I have to have 4 SSH running to get this to work.
1 SSH to move(archive) and create a chat.txt; it also fires off a .sh that fires off a console that tails a chat.txt so the operator can see the chat history
2nd SSH to fire off a .sh that loops a Local kdialog input box that appends the chat.txt 3rd SSH to tail -f the chat.txt file on the remote so I can see the chat history 4th SSH to loop a read -p on the SSH so I can append the chat.txt

I am trying to stream audio from one machine to several others via pulseaudio.
Following a bit of digging, I configured the "sender" with:
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp
load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor rate=48000 channels=2 format=s16be
..and the "listeners" with: load-module module-rtp-recv
Then, playing on the sender, and using PulseAudio Volume Control /Playback to set "Null Output", my listeners all start working as expected. The outstanding problem is that the sender is silent - nothing from its speakers. Perhaps not surprising after the "Null" setting above.
Is it possible to stream like this and also listen on the sender at the same time -

I have Ubuntu 10.04 (fresh install) and it is my work computer/Server and i'd like access to this PC from my home. But with Remote Desktop it only says i can do local.
I've look around and opened up port 5900 in my router. Set this IP to to static and forwarded the port to this computer.
I've read that unchecking the "configure network automatically to accept connections" as it seems to cause an issue in ports i've read. Still nothing.

I'm looking to convert my HTPC into a remote android dev server for my girlfriend and myself, however I want to make sure that it is possible to do what I am looking to do.Is it possible to map local devices to the VNC server (such as an android phone) so that we can work on development over VNC with phones we have on our client computers? I know its a trivial matter to map local drives over VNC, but what about non-HD devices, can I still maintain full functionality as if the device itself was plugged directly into the server?'ll be installing ubuntu again this weekend, never got around to it after my last HD failure.

As many developers probably do, I have a Windows based machine on which I run XAMPP locally to test my code and a Linux machine with Fedora as my remote server.As I sometimes use .htaccess as a way to authenticate some parts of the website, I end up having two .htaccess files: one with the local path (something line D:My_Webs) and one with my remote path (something like /var/www/html/) to the password file.I have searched high and low, but I cannot seem to find any trick so that I only have to maintain one version of the .htaccess file which can work on both Linux and on Windows machines.

I have a base install of a LAMP server on my system, and I'm trying to get mod_rewrite working on that local server (the directory of the local site is [URL]. I added this to my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file, which was blank before I did so:
Code:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
[code]....
It's supposed to redirect everything except the listed directories to index.php, which is used as a front controller. However, if I type in [URL] <any other page> I get a 404 error.

I have a Ubuntu server hosted on Amazon EC2. I need to create an automated backup scheme so I created another Ubuntu instance on my local network which is hosted in a virtual environment. I managed to transfer the necessary files between 2 machines on the same network using the rsync command:
rsync -azvv -e ssh /home/path/folder1/ remoteuser@remotehost.remotedomain:/home/path/folder2
How can I do the same thing but transferring files from my Amazon server to my local server? Is there a way I can achieve this with port forwarding, or by VPN, or anything else? It doesn't have to be rsync. If you know about a better method, kindly let me know.

I have a remote drive mounted on my system(ubuntu 10.04 x64), and i have the contents of that drive backed up to dropbox. the problem is, if i unmount the drive, the files disappear from dropbox. is there a way to mirror the contents of the network drive to a localfolder(preferably in such a way that all changes and file deletions are changed on the local folder instantly, but unmounting doesn't delete it all)? It looks like rsync would work, but im not sure how to make it work.

I know I can ssh login without password from a local to a remote. My question is how I can ssh without password from the remote to another remote. Say, I have three machines: A, B, C where A is the local machine. I use the same private/public key pair for all the login. What I can do are:
1. ssh from A to B.
2. ssh from A to C.
3. If I am sitting in the computer B (or B is local), then I can ssh from B to C.
What I am not able to do is:
After I ssh from A to B, I cannot ssh from the B to C. When I try to ssh from B to C, it asks me a passphrase.

I have a problem while copying files from a remote computer to my local one using the scp command. I am sure that I am using it correctly, please check it below:
---
blah@blah.com:~/g4work> scp blah2@blah2.com:IndirectMethod_Spher...s/H_1.mac.root .
---
What I get in return (instead of the statement saying 100% of file copied) is:
---
On this machine the G4SYSTEM=Linux-g++
---
The interesting point is that the above returned statement is one of the Environment variables set on both the machines that are necessary to work with a toolkit called Geant4. Here is what I get when I type 'printenv | grep G4' just to show you (note the statement in bold):

The other thing that I would like to mention is that these Geant4 Env. Variables are loaded each time a new (bash) shell is started as a result of the bash login script.

I'm using a fingerprint reader on my laptop, works pretty well:
Code:
$sudo echo hi
Please swipe your finger:
[swipe finger here of course]
[Code]....
Like I said, it works nicely... until I try to SSH in and sudo something remotely, when it will ask me kindly to swipe my finger over the reader that's attached to the laptop which is on my desk at home thirty kilometres away. Naturally there's no method built into pam_fprint to abort via a keypress.
So, is there any way to tell PAM to only use certain modules if I'm in a locally logged in session?

I have a slack 64 13.1 box, that I want to be able to control the monitor of from my laptop. Here's the scenario: I can already control the music remotely via X forwarding banshee to my laptop (banshee shows up on the laptop and music comes out on the desktop). Now I want to be able to open a movie on the desktop's display via the laptop.
Now googling this comes up with solutions for X forwarding, but I don't want it to forward X I want it to display on the desktop.

I have a "remote" server and I want to have it's X exported to my "local" laptop. Preferably, it gets done automatically from boot. I know that virtual terminals 1-6 are all text terminals and 7 is the local X. How can I get my laptop to automatically create a virtual terminal on 12 that's dedicated to receiving the X display from the server?
I know how to get it over SSH/putty. And also how to stop the local and restart the X client on 7 to use the remote. But one of the beauties of Linux is the automation and multi-user environment. It's essentially going to act as a KVM with gui replacement over IP.
