Debian Multimedia :: Installing VNC Server - Few Untangle Boxes Around
May 4, 2011
I'm sort of an incidental Debian user -- Untangle installs with a customized version of Debian (2.6.26) and I have a few Untangle boxes around. I've searched with Google and also in this forum for some guidance in installing VNC Server and have run into a brick wall. Basically I need to see my Untangle boxes' GUI remotely on Windows mostly to run Wireshark. There are some X clients that install on Windows, but I've not got any of them to work well enough to rely on.
I use VNC routinely between Windows boxes, so I thought maybe that would be a better option. Unfortunately, all the instructions I've found to install the VNC server on Debian have been inoperative. They typically say something like "apt-get install vncserver" which results in an error because it can't find "vncserver" anywhere. Now I know that this has been done by others, so it's clearly possible.
I currently have GNOME Boxes and Oracle VM VirtualBox installed on my Debian 8 system, and it works well. However, I recently installed VMware Workstation Player 12, and that seems to work too. However, I've noticed that since I've installed VMware, the networking in my GNOME Boxes virtual machines does not work. Also, every time I go to my networking settings, I see virtual networking devices for VMware that are really annoying. Why don't I have virtual networking adapters pop up for VirtualBox or GNOME Boxes? How can I get VMware and GNOME Boxes to play nice together?
I'm trying out Konqueror on Debian Lenny. I'm annoyed by the sounds it plays along with message boxes (for instance: sound of a breaking glass on message boxes showing an error). I can't neither find any setting for that nor I've been able to find some general setting.
I have an Untangle Box - which for those that don't know is a modified Debian Lenny used as a router, proxy, filter and much more - It has three physical interfaces on it eht0 (incoming traffic), eth1 (Outgoing to LAN after traffic filtered), and eth2 (Called a DMZ NIC, as Untangle can be used as a router). There is also a tun0 interface setup by Untangle for VPN (Not using the Openvpn in Untangle because I need bridged a bridged VPN and this is not an option in Untangles offering), a br0.eth setup by untangle to bridge eth0 and eth1 for traffic flow through as it is inline from router to switch and not acting as the router itself, and a br0 interface that I have setup by bridge script bridging eth2 and tap0 to run OpenVPN as a bridged VPN.
The routes on the machine are as follow: Code: untangle:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br.eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 192.0.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dummy0 192.0.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 utun untangle:~#
I don't see a default route listed here, however, I do have Internet connectivity on the Untangle box itself. I also know that by script to bridge the tap0 and eth2 interfaces adds a default route through the gateway on the network that eth2 is connected to. So the lack of a default route is somewhat puzzling to me, I do have the gateway set through the web based admin interface Untangle offers.
The iptables rules are as follow: Code: untangle:~# iptables --list-rules -P INPUT ACCEPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -N alpaca-firewall .....
There was an addition output rule in the alpaca-nat-firewall rule that said DROP outgoing interface eth2, I removed that rule with no change. I can ping out from the Untangle server to the eth2 LAN, I can access resources in the eth2 subnet. But I cannot get any reply from the server from anything either in that subnet or not. If I run iftop I can see the incoming traffic form my ping but the Server sends out no reply. I think this is a firewall issue. I can access the server by connecting to the IP assigned to the eth0/br0.eth interface which is in my main LAN. I am also attaching a crude diagram of the previous setup and the new setup (Previous setup used a different server for my bridged VPN).
Is there a rule I can add to ensure that traffic coming in on an interface goes out the same interface? Do I have a rule blocking incoming traffic to eth2/br0? Do I have one blocking sending out on eth2/br0? Do I have a default rule that is killing the traffic on eth2/br0 and I need to add an accept rule for traffic coming in on eth2/br0? I tried adding an accept rule for traffic coming in on br0, but it didn't work. I tried an output rule, but that didn't work, but I may have been bungling these rules as I do not fully understand the syntax and function and body of an iptables rule. The exact original iptables information before I modified anything can be viewed at [URL].
I am going to setup postfix mail server for my client on RHEL 5.5 64 bit server, But I don't know how do I set quota in users mail boxes as I have found postfix don't have this feature, so If I will use linux disk quota technology in my mail server for solving this purpose will this help.Please suggest procedure if it is possible or any other alternate.
My video suddenly stopped working. I get strange lines across the screen, a weird white box around the cursor and all the fonts are messed up (much similar to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1395788)I think the problem started when updating to kernel 2.6.31-22, but booting into 2.6.31-21 (which worked just a few days ago) does not solve the problem. I have also tried to disable all screen effects and I have installed the radeonhd driver - without any luck.
I run a server that is connected to several other boxes in a private network (192.168.0.0). I have had no problems previously, but upon a reinstall of Debian squeeze I have no connectivity to the private network: a ping of other addresses on that network fail. Ping and connection to outside world is fine. This box is configured similarly to another on this private network which connects successfully. I have quadruple-checked all my basic information. I post my ifconfig below of the malfunctioning device, then the ifconfig for equivalent nic on a box connected succesfully to the private network.
Questions:
1.Could it be a cable problem? (I don't see how since the cables have not been changed I do not believe since my reinstallation).
2. What about the difference in the last lines of eth1 below and eth2 of the successful box. Is it significant that the bad eth1 reads Memory:fc3a0000-fc3c0000
Im using postfix on my server and i need change a ip adresses for mail boxes.Example : xxx@xxx.com using x.x.x.1 ip adres.and i need yyy@xxx.com how it can use x.x.x.2 adress.How can i do that ?And i need count which mail how much mail sended .How can i count and limit ?
Just installed it on my laptop.Videos are appearing grainy (like boxes)-no sharp images.Should I be considering some video codecs? I am using VLC Player and PS3 Media Server (dlna server)

My first time installing centos server and adding it to xp home network. I am new to setting up my own network in general. I have a home windows wired ethernet xp network (simple linxs router) with 2 xp boxes and one centos5 box all connected to the same router. I just set up the centos box running tomcat on port 8080. I need to do two very basic things at this point, but am not sure what I need to do:
What do I need to do so I can: 1. Connect in firefox on one of my xp boxes and call the tomcat server running on my centos box? 2. Be able to ftp to centos box from either of my xp boxes?
I'm having a bizarre problem with FTP transfers from my CentOS 5.3 boxes, All of my CentOS boxes appear to be limited at ~10kb/s when connecting to any FTP server outside of our network. We have no network infrastructure which would cause this, however when I use a windows based machine it is able to connect fine.
I took my laptop running Vista, and rebooted it onto a CentOS 5.3 LiveCD, and same issue.
I have checked our iptables, cleared the rules, removed the kernel modules, checked CBQ/TC it looks like nothing is limiting this. Also, other protocols work fine. Both the windows and linux boxes used passive transfers for it.
Is there anything other than iptables/CBQ which would be on a out of the box install of CentOS I should check? Is there any kernel settings for NAT connections which may cause this?
I'm using Firefox 4.0 b7, and tried to install Mozilla binary on Debian 64 bit. Since it was built for 32 bit (x86), I needed to install also ia32-libs-gtk package. This at least enabled Firefox to start, but still it has UI problems, because it accesses current theme binary from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/ which are obviously compiled for 64 bits. This causes some UI to be degraded to generic GTK. Is there a normal way to solve this?
I my case I got a whole bunch of errors like this (using Nimbus theme, in case of Clearlooks errors are of the similar nature) Plus there are some plugins errors too, which are a second issue: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I just did a fresh install of Squeeze with a KDE desktop and now I need to install some software. I have the software on CD, but I can't figure out how to actually get it installed. The disc has a startme file, but I can only get it to open into a text editor. How do I get it to actually run the startme file to install the program. I have tried just clicking on it in user and superuser mode and both just open the file in a text editor. I also tried running it from a bash shell, but still no luck. Is there some program used to install software? Or how do I do it from a shell?
I have Debien 7.8 Wheezy installed on my laptop, along with the GNOME desktop. As I absolutely hate the new GNOME layout I want to install MATE so I can get the classic GNOME 2 desktop back. But I have no internet connection here at home (I only have my phone for internet and I can't tether it).
So I'm wondering if it's possible for me to download all the packages and install MATE offline? I don't even know what all the packages are that I need.I can download the packages with my phone with no issue.
I installed Debian on my laptop with the Debian DVDs in case you were wondering. when I downloaded the Debian DVD ISOs, I only saw three ISO files, but the documentation said that it's a 10 DVD set. What happened to the other 7 DVD ISOs?
I am running Debian jessie 64-bit with GNOME 3.14.1. I would like to install the CODE::BLOCKS IDE, described here: [URL] ..... I follow the tutorial for Debian, but having added
Code: Select alldeb [arch=amd64,i386] https://apt.jenslody.de/stable jessie main deb-src https://apt.jenslody.de/stable jessie main
to Code: Select all/etc/apt/sources.list, I then run "sudo apt-get update". This gives me the error
Code: Select allE: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found. N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
Is it safe to go ahead and install apt-transport-https? I really don't want to ruin my Debian-installation...
I'm running 64-bit Debian lenny, and am trying to run a 32-bit program that requires libGLEW. I've installed libGLEW using apt-get install libglew1.5, but when I try to run the program I get the error: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
It seems the default install of libGLEW is in 64-bit mode, and the program can't use the 64-bit libraries. It looks like I need to install libGLEW in 32-bit mode, but I've no idea how to do that.
I am new to debian, But I was using ubuntu previously. Now I have installed debian Lenny and I want to install the VLC player, When I try the below command nothing happens.Do I need to add any repository?
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
I have an old computer I have setup as a backup computer / Linux practice computer. It is a Sun Ultra2 w/ 2x200MHz SPARC CPUs, 512MB RAM, 9.1GB SCSI HD, and Creator 3D video card. It is running Debian 6, by default with no GUI installed. But, I am wanting to try out several minimalistic GUIs with it. So, first thing I did was:
aptitude install icewm aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-sunffb aptitude install rcconf (used to disable X from automatically starting) aptitude install xfe startx
And well, it worked. Well, for some reason, I couldnt read any of the buttons in xfe, and it was stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. So then I tried PCManFM, which was better, but the icons were still all blank. However, upon trying other WMs, I have had very little success. I got dwm working, but didnt try it out for too long before removing it and trying others. I was able to get LXDE to work, and that was that last thing I got to work. Now Ive tried IceWM again, as well as jwm, and every time I end up with a black screen.
By the way, any suggestions on a WM/FM (and maybe panel) combo would be greatly appreciated as well. Even with IceWM and PCManFM, this system is pretty slow. Its really going to mostly be used as a backup internet machine. Whats the bare minimum setup to get icons on the desktop?
I am using Wheezy LXDE amd64 and I want to remove Iceweasel and install the real Firefox. Now according to this page - URL... Firefox is only there for Ubuntu and Opensuse officially by Mozilla. But since Ubuntu is based on Debian will the firefox for Ubuntu work for Debian ?Also since I am completely new to Linux I need to know how to do the following -:
How to check the dependencies given on URL.... and if necessary update them. For example what are the commands for checking if I have GTK+2.18 or higher and if necessary update that.after extracting Firefox do I need to create any symbolic links ? If so what are they ?Can I install plugins like Adobe Flash Player and update Firefox easily ?
I tried to install drivers for my GeForce GT 630M graphic card. At first, I just installed nvidia-detect and there was a suggestion to install nvidia-driver:
