Debian :: Remote Desktop View Video / Music Files - Lost?
Nov 8, 2015
My wife has taken over the desktop (ubuntu 14.04 LTS). I've setup a second wireless router, dedicated to the MAC address of my laptop (debian) and using ssh I can view my email (thunderbird), but I'm not sure what to do to view woodworking videos without downloading. So, do I need to setup tunneling, do I need to view the windowmanager or is there an way to run videos? Anyway I've come along way using HOWTo's with breaking debian. Not sure how to proceed.
Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (i686) Compiled: #1 SMP Thu Nov 25 01:53:57 UTC 2010 C Library: GNU C Library version 2.7 (stable) Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 Desktop Environment: GNOME 2.20
Gnome comes with Vino Remote Desktop as part of it's package. I want Vino to run at boot so that I can login remotely. I am using VNC-4.1.3 for remote viewing. However, I can only view remotely once I have logged-in locally.
1-When entering a music CD, video or files, any programs or music or video players and desktop are closed are removed all the icons and I can not open any program only on firefox, I can not see the files or anything . (NOTE CD-rom is in mint condition)
2-I graphics effects ruin the entire desktop and when it is in fact no graphic still looks bad everything looks pixelated or striped like when flex is damaged or something is damaged and is in perfect condition.
Now I'm going with the version 10.04 of ubuntu:
1-I have the same problem with the CD I had in 9.10, except that in the 10/04 I can open some programs with the Emphaty and monitor systems.
2-When you close the laptop when I open the screen looks as if the flex embers damaged or broken screen (when it is of course) and I have no other to reset it.
3-When you drive about 30 minutes using computed with any open programs (Firefox, Emphaty, emesene, movie player, Gnome player) to close it or minimize it gets super slow and sometimes if I Friza and then to turn it off and repeat history.
4-When I'm watching a movie or a video with movie player is super slow (just what I'm playing does not the OS) as if Lageado and stuff. But with Gnome looks pretty good player just the video looks very small and I can not put it full screen. Certainly in a Dell Latitude C610 Pentium III-Processor: 1000/700mhz-Memory: 512MB Graphics-Card: 16mb.
If i got gnome i may go to the top-panel: choose system, choose preferences and go to "remote desktop" and make my settings (allow, ask for allow, password, and other stuff). I don't want to be bound to gnome (though i like it, thats not the problem).Which config-files are the ones i am looking for?
I did search the web, but i can't find useful how-to's, explanations, etc.Cause what i find is related to the path i described above (gnome: top-panel, preferences...)Which is the app/tool which pops up and says:"someone wants to access, you want to allow it, yes or no?". The performance of VNC is lousy comopared to NX. Lousy is the friendly version. What might i be doing wrong?i usually do it from a Debian-host to a VirtualBox-guest.I am mainly asking for how-to's/docus and stuff like that. Links. Explanations are welcome too. Of course.
Which SW package should I install , on my Windows Laptop, in order to view/control my Linux Desktop ? Is it good also for Windows to Windows? Who should be the server who the client ? I tried the xtightvnc on my Linux , it didn't work.

I have a web server that hosts multiple websites. Am looking for an application that can be run on my workstation and makes it possible to watch Apache logs live.
It should have a tabbed interface. When I launch the application, it has to connect to my server and should automatically open all access.log and error.log files and display all changes in real time (similar to tail -f command).
Does anything like this exist?
I'm tired of logging in many times in Konsole and executing tail -f commands to see parallel logs.
My laptop has Ubuntu 10.04 LTS running in a virtual machine. Just couple hours ago my computer ran out of batteries. When restarted it and started virtual machine and Ubuntu, 90% of stuff ithat was in my desktop is gone!!!
They are not on desktop and if I browse desktop with nautilus, the files are not there. They are not in the recent documents either.
I think I made one tweak too far and as a result have lost my desktop - no top panel, launcher just a blank screen with my desktop background. I've created a new user and everything is fine under that account so I don't think it is terminal. which files I should delete/replace to restore the desktop back to it's default settings? I've deleted the .gnome2, .gconf and .gconfd folders but that has not solved the problem.
I have been trying to use the remote desktop so I can get my files and stuff from one computer and use it on another one, I have not been able to figure it out...
I can now get Ripit to run, but right after its got the artist and track data and displayed it, it then says it can't write to the error log on my output path.However ripping and encoding of the music seems to happen as it goes through all the tracks, but at the end the same error message appears and I get a message saying the time to rip = 0 and the time to encode = 0. When I look at the output directory there's nothing there.For the output directory I initially had the file output as /home/westers/music - that's my username and I have the directory music created, but I still got the error message.
I then thought the problem was because /home/westers/music is setup to use a USB attached hard drive as it's disk drive and so I should actually be pointing the output to this drive because the drive is mounted to /home/westers/music. When I change the output to /dev/sdb (the hard drive name) I still get the same error message.I know the drive has mounted properly because I can see it has on the desktop.fpermission is set as the default, although I can't find any info about what the default options actually mean (google, the man page and the readme don't say what the options mean).So how can I get my music to be saved to the usb hard drive such that /home/westers/music can see it?I'm ripping the music to a flac file if that makes any difference.
Code: Select allCalculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: x11-apps x11-session-utils xinit Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. Done
but it says something to the effect that task-cinnamon-desktop has been moved out of incoming, and that it's unable to install since I have held broken packages.
During some partitioning my Son accidentally deleted a bunch of MP3 files from his disk that he thought he'd backed up. It wasn't a big deal at the time since we listen to the same music and since he got most of those files from me in the first place (ripped my 400 CD collection a couple of years ago). So yesterday he asked me if I would copy those files for him onto a USB stick. No problem, right?
I have a 16 GB USB stick which has some backup folders and about 2.5 GB of data on it. It's formatted as NTFS.
So I created another folder on it, entitled music. Then I copied about 12.5 GB worth of MP3 music to the USB stick. No problem. When all was said and done about 1 GB of free space was remaining on the USB stick. A few minutes after the copying was completed, I used the "Remove Disk Safely" option. A small window came up, indicating that data was being written and that the stick should not be removed until the process completed. It took about 15 - 30 seconds but eventually it was finished. I could see in Nautilus that the stick had been unmounted and so I removed it from my computer.
My Son then put the USB stick in his Debian machine ... indicating to me that although there were some folders, the folder entitled music was empty. I asked him how much space was available on the stick ... he replied 1 GB ... which jives with the space that I had left after my copying. Went to his computer, and sure enough, the folders are all there, the data that was previously contained in the other folders is still there as well, but the actual music files are nowhere to be found. Then we tried using Nautilus as root, but the files still won't show up. Tried rebooting, still can't see/access those music files. Brought the stick back to my Debian system ... SAME PROBLEM THERE.
What the heck is going on? Clearly, the space of the copied 12.5 GB is being used up ... but the files are nowhere to be seen ... not even when using Nautilus as root. Disk Utility does recognize the 16 GB NTFS stick and it can be mounted/unmounted.
How would a make files in /home/user01/file available on the web as [URL]? Is it possible for me to have anyone to access that link to log in as user01?
I've just upgraded to Squeeze from Lenny using the instructions found here URL... After completing the upgrade and re-booting the system informed me that "gnome.desktop is not installed" and throws me into XFCE. Googling suggested trying apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment which I did. On reboot I no longer get the "gnome-desktop is not installed", but the login still throws me into XFCE.How do I get my gnome desktop back?
Alright so i just wanted to try and get remote desktop connections running so i can access files on the other computers in my house. For my first try i went after my laptop. I'm using rdesktop.
First couple times i tried i typed in
Code:
After about 15 seconds it would pop back with
Code:
I realized that my laptop's firewall was blocking the packets, so i created a custom rule that allows all TCP packets on port 3389. So i fired up rdesktop again. Now it pops back with:
Code:
But instantaneously, not after 15 seconds (not sure if thats significant or not.) I checked my firewall's log and it allowed the tcp packets.
I need to work with other computer. How could i make it? Should I use SSH over VNC, or?... There is a lot of information about it, but, maybe, too much information. I just need to connect to my other desktop. In win i've used TeamViewer. What should i use here?
i have a debian linux vps and running through puTTY CLI interface from my windows, i search through if i can possibly install any remote deksktop system. i know this has been asked many time but never got what i am looking, how can i do that?
I want to browse files (including music) on my iPhone5s from my PC, which is running Debian 8.2 "Jessie" with MATE desktop environment.
I ran Code:
Select allsudo apt-get install bluetoothctl in the command line, then after I run Code: Select allbluetoothctl,
I did this:
Code: Select allpower on devices # To get the iPhone's MAC address scan on agent on discoverable on pair IPHONE_MAC_ADDRESS_HERE trust IPHONE_MAC_ADDRESS_HERE connect IPHONE_MAC_ADDRESS_HERE
I can connect Debian and my iPhone just fine, but where do I go from there?
How do I browse my iPhone's files from Debian?
I've also posted this on Unix Stackexchange [URL] ....
I've been building my digital music collection for some time and used to house it on a local drive with no quality issues. A while back I built myself a file server using ubuntu and mdadm in a raid1 configuration to protect against potential drive failure. I link my iTunes library to the music files via a samba share and everything works great on the surface. I've started to notice that random songs are becoming corrupted with pops clicks and silent pauses. I'll even re-download an album and notice that it's corrupted a few weeks later. Now I'm at a loss to what is causing this issue; I ignored it at first but it seems to be getting worse and more widespread as time goes on.
Do you think this could be caused by mdadm? It reports that all is fine via 'cat /process/mdstat' but I wouldn't know where to look or what to look for if there were syncing issues. The other possibility is that I have iTunes set to keep my music folder organized for me, but I've never heard of it actually corrupting the files it shuffles around. The bottom line is that my library is getting crappier as time goes on and I cannot stand for that!
I'm going to install Debian on a friend's desktop. Since he lives far from me, I think that being able to administer his machine from remote would be nice. OpenSSH is supposed to do that, isn't it? Thus, I'm going to install OpenSSH server on his Debian, but - to avoid security holes - I'll write two scripts to start and to stop the OpenSSH service; he will run such scripts whenever I need to check his machine, to make OpenSSH server available only when needed. I'm also aware that disabling console access for root is better, and that I should log in as a regular user and then do "su".
Weird thing going on on my headless lenny box. The shared desktop won't let me in.I am trying to connect with my Mac, ssh is ok. I can connect, start vino-preferences, change everything I want to change, and still it won't let me in. both Mac Ctrl-k to vnc://lenny and Chicken of the VNC won't connect.
I cannot remote desktop to the Debian machine from anywhere,hether within the same network, or on a different network elsewhere. Also, the personal wiki I set up on it to be viewed via a normal web browser cannot be accessed, either. Both time out when attempting to connect to them. I can still ping the Debian machine when on the same network, though.
This started some time ago when we had a failure occur on our main server.had to powercycle everything in order to restore things back to normal, the Debian machine included. Since that time, this problem started to occur. This is a major thorn in my side in attempting to prepare for our website to move,I've been unable to figure out how to fix it.Originally, I thought it would be something in between the Debian machine and anything else, which would mean something like our firewall box or our hardware switch was the problem. But the tech support people who maintain those for us confirm that there is nothing wrong with them, so now I'm not certain anymore.
