Debian Multimedia :: Xrdp Minimal X And Start App At Boot
Mar 9, 2016
I'm running debian 8.3 (kernel 4.1) on a BeagleBone black and writing a program with C# (vs2015) along with mono on the beagle. So far everything is working out great. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to make this setup run like a kiosk with it booting into my program with a graphical environment but with no actual desktop (just a blank screen). There will be an LCD showing the program but at the same time I want the program available through a remote connection.
I've got the blank desktop working via VNC but I think I should change to xrdp (the target users all have windows with remote desktop connection installed by default but what vnc is or have the permissions to install a vnc client).
Anyway, I think getting xrdp started with my program at boot will be pretty simple (famous last words?). I simply start the xrdp instance in rc.local then use the session script to start my program.
What I cant wrap my head around is not having two copies of my program running - one showing on the LCD using HDMI and the other running on a second desktop through xrdp...

I have installed ubuntu 10.04 lts -- I was wondering why it didn't start cupsd or something on boot?
I have installed the same ubuntu on another unit (same specs) with no problem on printing.... but this one (I'm swearing a lot now!) because it doesn't work... Been at this for 3 days in a span of one month -- and I started to think that this computer is hard headed GR!!
I'd like to bash it -- sorry but I'm really really annoyed -- to put it softly.
I'd like to know why it's not working as smoothly --
Currently I need to $sudo cupsd to make printing work every time I power on this computer.

I'm trying to get dual monitors working on a fresh install of debian from the netinst install cd. I did not allow the installer to download any packages and then manually installed xorg gnome-core & gdm using apt-get.
The monitors are plugged into the onboard vga and dvi ports of my motherboard. I believe the chipset is intel.
At the moment the displays are cloned.
I don't know much about xorg.
This is my xrandr output:

I can log into my Debian 8 Jessie XFCE server via XRDP from Windows 7 and can do everything I could normally do if I was using the machine. The only problem is the Network Manager, it states I have no connection. It doesn't display connection information, even states that there is no connection (even though I am remotely connected to it from my Windows machine, can install software and can access the Internet on the machine in question). This isn't a problem as it seems I can access anything regardless, the only thing I can not access is the Network Manager which I need access to so I can connect to my VPN.
Below is my xrdp.ini information...
Code: Select all#dark_grey=808080
#blue=08246b
#dark_blue=08246b
#white=ffffff
#red=ff0000
#green=00ff00
#background=626c72
[xrdp1]
name=sesman-Xvnc
lib=libvnc.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=-1
I can access the Network Manager if I use the machine but as soon as I go headless and XRDP into it, I no longer can.
I've been racking my brain over this for days, trying to read up on as much as I can about the issue but am still struggling to find a solution. Unfortunately this must be done via a GUI.

m trying to install xrdp on Debian 8, I have attempted it with the following commands run under root:
Code: Select allapt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install xrdp
Everything installed fine, with no errors
Code: Select allroot@tom-deb:/home/user# apt-get install xrdp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
[Code] ....
Now from windows using Remote Desktop connection, an attempt was made to connect remotely, I can see xrdp working just fine, but when I am logging into xrdp-sesmanx11 with the username and password, it exits out suddenly, are there other packages that need to be installed?

After a long time I tried ubuntu(9.10) again on my fileserver, I have some remarks; why does a minimal server installation include X/openoffice? I don't need document conversion on a fileserver and I bet a lot of people don't. Wouldn't it be better to create a new server package and leave minimal minimal? low memory installs (64mb) don't work unless you configure swap by hand in between things, 64mb ram is a lot in my eyes. I mean, not to be rude but if I wanted all this I could've better installed Solaris.
That said it's stable and running fine. Since it's my home fileserver I tried to convert my previously created raid10 mirror on an adaptec 1200 card to a softraid 5 solution. This is wat I did:

I am new to ubuntu even if I work in IT since 1999 so I am pretty confident I can follow instructions as needed. I need to build a custom install of Ubuntu with minimal software installed (I actually only need VMware View Client and a few more + graphic environment) and I would like to put it all on a USB key and use it to boot any PC so I can fire up my application. Is there a way to do this? Any instructions? I found something about doing an install on USB but nothing about a minimal install (only full).

I used unetbootin (on another machine) to put the ubuntu 10.04 minimal amd64 .iso onto a usb stick. I used it to install a minimal system on a new 64-bit laptop (dual booting with Windows 7). Now, when I turn on the machine I get my choice of OS. When I pick Ubuntu, I get a blinking cursor, the harddrive is accessed. Then the cursor disappears, the harddrive is quiet, and nothing else happens.

I am running Debian testing with KDE via KVM.
I love GNOME to pieces but I also enjoy KDE, and I decided to try Debian with KDE. It was a positive experience but a pain in the rear to set up. I installed KDE, and then had to manually remove most GTK packages, as I had installed KDE-full and was overloaded with KDE and GNOME apps.
I would like to do a minimal, CLI-only installation of Debian testing and then install KDE. My machine accesses internet via wireless, which I read the Debian installer does not support. I'm assuming I will have to go with a netinstall...?
Furthermore, once I attain this CLI-only environment, how difficult will it be to get my hands on KDE? A simple apt-get install kde-full ?

Unfortunately I only minored in Computer Science, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and unfortunately I stopped using Linux after those classes. During this time I actually really got to like Linux (the class used Ubuntu but my friend who was majoring in it got Debian for me).
I only got a C in that class because like I said, it was something I minored in. Anyways, my main question is how do I install Debian on a USB (not a FAT32) so that if I move it from home to work or something, I can just boot up the USB and start using Debian on that computer (assuming it has something else like Windows for example)?

When I login in the kde login in screen starts, but then I hear a beep and it freezes. If I hit ctrl-alt-f2 and log in and then type startx, a blinking curser appears and nothing happens.I am trying to set up VirtualBox to run Windows 7 and I am having trouble getting some usb devices to be recognized in Windows. I tryed following the advice of this link URL...After I added the group vboxusers to my user account and restarted the computer, this problem started.
I ran the command Code: Select alldeluser jrchristophel vboxusers, and I get the response back Code: Select allyou may not remove the user from their primary group.
The other things I did that might have caused this problem was that I installed virtual guest additions for VirtualBox, and one other addition that was needed for the USB functionality with in VirtualBox. I can't remember the name of that which I installed.I have looked at some of the logs in /var/logs.

Recently I tried to install Debian 8.3 from *netinst.iso as a VM on VmWare Worksation 12. I try this in my office where there is a windows proxy set, for some security measures. During the installation in order to download updated and install additional packages I need to choose a mirror and then a proxy. I try to set the proxy but all I receive was an error. Decide to continue with the minimal installation and when the system start just to enter the proxy in etc/profile the reboot and I was thinking that everything will work just fine and I will be able to install everything I need. When I try apt-get install I receive a message Ign cdrom:// Debian ... Then to remove that error I edit /etc/apt/source.list but even then nothing happened when I try to use apt-get install. I receive and error message "Unable to locate the package.

This morning I did a minimal install of Debian to test out xfce and lxde, purely out of curiosity.I tried LXDE first. For various reasons I wasn't entirely pleased, so I removed it and installed xfce4 in a vanilla openbox session. Upon reboot, I was greeted with the CLI. I generated a new xorg.conf file to see if the transition to xfce had altered it, but was greeted with the CLI again after another reboot. I manually started X with 'startx' and noted that the xfce session manager was installed. The xdm session manager, however, was not.Installing xdm fixed the problem, kind of. I am now greeted with an xdm login screen rather than an xfce session login screen. What can I do to have xfce-session be my default login screen?

My room mate is trying to use an old Dell he has as a print server. After much twisting his arm, I was able to convince him to go with Debian, which, I would install. I used a 5.0.4 Net Install CD I had, and included Desktop Environment (he needs a GUI), and Print Server. Basically, as usually happens when I install Debian, I am having trouble getting X to work. Heres what the errors look like after X fails:
Ring End Space: 24 wanted 32
Fatal server error: lockup
Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections giving up.
xinit: Connection reset by peer (errno 104): Unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error

I have been trying to install Squeeze from the 6.0.1a KDE CD-1 plus the Debian repos. I just cannot get X to work. I get similar bad results to those mentioned by other users having similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes works.
Basic hardware information:
Desktop PC, whole 40 GB disk used for install
Graphics card: none Video controller on motherboard: VIA Technologies S3 UniChrome VGA controller (about 8 years old)
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 1280 x 1024 (about 8 years old)
Some things I've already tried: in rescue mode, as root, in /etc/X11X -configuremove file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf basically everything mentioned in threads in past two months regarding users who cannot get X to work reinstalling 100x with every choice for the installer I can think of
What happens: when doing the install, contrary to expectation, I am never prompted for any of the hardware information which the documentation at debian.org says I should have on hand (is that a good sign or a bad sign?)
No matter how I try to do the install,I always seem to get a nongraphical installation, so I try this: as root:apt-get install xorg in /etc/X11X -configthen move generated file (which looks like X didn't try to create an actual configuration file) to /etc/X11/xorg.config as non-root user:startx I get black screen (or a tiny tiny konsole at upper left) and system hangs
How can I tell whether this an X misconfiguration? How can I fix it? How can I tell whether I simply need a driver? Where do I look? How can I tell whether my hardware is simply incompatible with Squeeze? What do I need to replace? Do I need to get a new monitor in order to use Squeeze? Do I need to buy a new motherboard with newer video controller? Do I need to buy a graphics card? Which?

I live in a country where 1Mbit broadband is a premium service for large businesses. I am paying a little over $40 a month for a 128k connection with monthly capping. I want to download Fedora but the download is just huge for my connection, especially as it is used for work 14 hours a day. I have attempted the LiveCD and got the 'ext4 cannot be used for boot' error. I also have several other specialised distros on this machine and it's going to be a pain inserting a new boot partition just for Fedora.
Like it is possible with Slackware, can I just download the first CD of the Fedora 11 set and get a minimal install from this or does Fedora need the whole set of disks? Is there a simple enough net install option that I could use instead? I can't understand why they can't just release something like Ubuntu's alternate install CD.

1. Installed Ubuntu minimal
2. Download and installed ATI/AMD drivers (via envy)
3. Primary display DELL 2007FPb (SVGA cable) cloned with secondary display PANASONIC TH-42PV80PA (DVI/HDMI cable)
4. PANASONIC TH-42PV80PA have black borders, the image is underscanned (left, right, top, bottom)
5. In Full install of ubuntu 9.10 (not MINIMAL) in Gnome when run amdcccle the solution was very simple. Just drag the slider to the maximum and image was overscanned to the full surface of the screen.
How to do point 5. from shell in UBUNTU MINIMAL (the light version without gnome)? Tried already from shell:
Code:
sudo amdcccle
but the Catalyst control Panel doesn't start. Say something bad about x server.
aticonfig?
xrandr?
xorg.conf?

I have recently acquired a micro-sized-PC (A Dell FX130) which comes with a VIA C7 processor, 1GB RAM and 1GB onboard flash. The only application I need is a web-browser, I will use the FX130 to access a (very limited) number of web applications and to download/print-html-to-PDF - putting files onto a USB thumb-drive. I want to encrypt the disk to guard against tampering, and to run a restrictive firewall.
When I try to install the i386 debian-7.7.0 image - I run into the snag that it won't let me use guided configuration for the 1GB flash drive... and - when I guess at a sensible partitioning... I find that I run out of space during the standard installs. I note, however, that a whole bunch of significant applications (which I don't need) are being installed.
I am sure I'm missing something - is there an easy way to do a "minimal" GUI install that would make it easy to fit (just) a web browser (Chrome - ideally) and dependencies onto a 1GB bootable flash drive in a 'Debian-standard' fashion?
