Fedora Networking :: Controlling A Running X Server Remotely?
Apr 11, 2009
*Solved* I have been reading the following guide on how to use the VNC programs and a GUI to connect to my main machine from my laptop via my LAN and router:
[URL]
This allows me to control the server remotely, and run applications on the server remotely, with the GUI output being shown on my laptop, which is really neat I had Eclipse + PDT running on my server and had to stop it and start a new instance remotely from the laptop via VNC viewer, as Eclipse said the workspace I wanted to use was already in use.
So starting the VNC server on the main machine does not allow me to access the programs that are already running on the main machine under the native X server. However I can now do PHP debugging remotely using Eclipse + PDT now, and all the PHP source code is on the server machine. That's OK, but I would like to do more than that. I want to be able to connect to the native X server on my main machine, and control all the applications running on the main machine remotely from my laptop, without having to shut them down and restart them again via a VNC viewer.
Is there some sort of remote control program I can use to allow me to connect to the running X server on my main machine from my laptop, and control those applications remotely please, so the desktop layout on the main machine's screen is mirrored on the laptop screen?

I've been looking for a way to use my laptop (running Ubuntu) to help service a remote laptop (running Windows XP). I've used TeamViewer and Cisco's VPN Client before, but TeamViewer is Windows only, and I don't want to pay for a Cisco system just to help maintain my friend's computer.
Ideally, I'm looking for something similar to the programs listed above, but I really just want to know if any of you have done this before, and if so, how?

I have done a standard install of Ubuntu 10.4 Desktop. All I have changed is to edit the smb.conf to set the correct workgroup. Everything is working fine, except that I am not able to connect to Ubuntu from my Windows 7 pc using Windows' built-in tool. That should work, shouldn't it? Do I need to edit more settings?

I need to backup my active production servers (yeah it's too late now) with image cloning application that were running RHEL3-5. The problem is I need to run it remotely from my office. Most of the software I found either need to use bootable cd or need to unmount my partitions which is I wasn't allowed to since it's a production servers. I also tried dd but it consume too much time, sector by sector cloning and empty disk space also included so the file created also big in size.

I run Fedora 13 on my HP dv6000 Pavillion. I am looking for a way to remotely access my work station running Windows XP from my Fedora machine. Most of the information I found explained how to access a Linux box from a Windows environment, and the one place I found that showed the other way around was incomprehensible.
Our company servers run Windows XP, and we have successfully installed remote desktops on other laptops running Windows.I thought of running the remote desktop from a Virtual Machine Windows session, but it seems a cumbersome way to do it.

I have a virtual machine with RedHat. It has a command-line tool X that takes an input file + some control parameters, performs some processing and generates some input files. I have a Windows XP/Server 2003 box where an app Y is running. What I need to do is to control X from Y. That is, given an input file, I have to feed this file from Y to X, have X process the file and then Y collect the results. Y would be running either on the host Windows machine using VM Player or on a separate box. Input files might be quite large. I need a solution that would be of production level quality. What would be the best approach to this? I presume I will need to develop some components both on the Windows side and the Linux side that would communicate with each other, send input and output files etc. What would these components be? The VM has a Redhat Enterprise install, so I have access to gcc, but not sure which other development tools.

I need to run an application on a virtual desktop (let say desktop #2) and control it via another app running on the root desktop (desktop #1). That would include screen capture and mouse movements. So basically I capture the application window from desktop #2, scrape it and then click on buttons via my app on desktop #1. Anyway you got the idea.Now my big question is: is that doable ? and if so what's the best language to do it ?

I'm not terribly new to Linux, but I am new to the forums, so hear me out! I am in the process of creating an electronic mapwall for our meteorology program, and have designed the computing system from scratch. I have two Linux Boxes, each with capabilities for 6 attached monitors...a total of 12 displays driven from two machines. My intention is to have one machine be the master...it has a touchpanel control. The inputs to the touchpanel will then trigger events for the both the master and the slave machine to display. Each of them has a specific IP address (DNS entry), and are not on a subnet.
Now...is there a way to remotely login to the slave machine and have it display on it's OWN monitors? The code is Java and which works on the master machine to animate directories of .gifs for each of the master's attached monitors. I will most likely have Java execute shell commands for the remote login (ssh), but I believe the answer lies somewhere in the X-configuration. Do I have the machines in an adverse configuration (creation of a subnet would be better)? Lots of questions...lots of desire...few answers!

I usually remotely connect to a client server to make adjustment via the CLI.Occasionally I have to login into the desktop to understand some issues that my customer are trying to explain via Vino-Server. I have notice that sometimes when I attempt to login via ssh, I sometimes can see that a user has not logged into the GUI desktop which means that I cannot login into the remote desktop session to resolve any issues via the GUI. My question is:How can I remotely login via ssh and start a gnome or kde session for the user account that I am trying to resolve his or her issue?

Tried turning firewall off, i tried port forwarding tcp port 22, but it still doesn't work. Also am unable to ping modem over WAN, i can ping the modem locally though. Tech support claims pinging and ssh is not part of the internet so they wont support it in any way.

I try to use fedora 11 as my home server. The server should be remotely managed by VNC. A normal VNC-setup does not allow to log into the login screen, but that is what I need !!
Notice that I would like to maintain the sever using the normal gnome gui. I have been investigating lots of options to get VNC running this way, have been searching all over, but did not find any working solution. All solutions I found where based on XVNC which is not available for fedora 11 as far as I know.

is it possible to run for instance pan remotely via ssh and make that instance of pan running on server, regardless upon closing it via ssh?for example i would love to do: start pan instance via ssh on the server keep it open while downloading close the ssh session, keep the pan running on the server in background. open ssh session and access the same instance of pan running on the server etc something in that loop.im unable to do that because when i close pan ssh remotely the instance automatically terminates on the server.

I have a linux server set up with postfix, which sends emails to our mail servers (MS Exchange). The linux server itself generates a lot of emails, and I would like to limit the number of mails it can send out pr second so that it doesn't spam our mail servers. Anyone know how I can control the max number of outgoing emails my linux server can send? As of now it's possible for my linux server to cause a denial of service attack on our Exchange server since I have no way of controlling the rate of outgoing messages.

In a script I am writing I am trying to add logic so that the script can figure out if a remote server uses rpm or dpkg and then run the appropriate command to print a list of installed packages. This works locally, but I need to get it to work through SSH and I have no idea how to do that. The relevant portion of the script is below. It would also be nice to find a way to not need the full path to the executables but I'm not real concerned about that.So anyone know how to make this code work via SSH?
Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/dpkg ]; then
dpkg --get-selections
[code]...

RHEL 5 update 2 I'm trying to start services from a centralized location on many servers. I can start/stop these services from an interactive login without any issue, but when I try the same command via ssh/rsh, it hangs. I have my ssh keys set up correctly and I can run other remote commands.
Local server:
# /etc/init.d/samba start
Starting Samba smbd: [ OK ]
Remotely to same server:
# ssh server "/etc/init.d/samba start"
Starting Samba smbd:

I know of /etc/security/limits.conf and that can be used to limit all sorts of good things, but I haven't found anything that talks about using this when the users come from LDAP. Would I be able to do something like
@"Domain Users" soft nproc 25
@"Domain Users" hard nproc 40
where Domain Users is the group all users belong to in our system.

Whenever I start up my laptop running Fedora 14, I notice that it says that it is failing to connect to my default wireless network since the wireless card is not activated. Since it appears that the wireless card is not activated until the NetworkManager service is started, is there anyway for me to set NetworkManager to start before this check is made? Boot message log is attached. [URL]

Does anyone know or recommend some software or a script to remotely power on a PC from standby to on, or even better from completely off?
I guess the completely OFF to ON is much more complicated - would probably require an extra piece of hardware(?)

I'm having issues with my SSH server.The server is running on a Slackware 13.37 machine, using the default SSH server software, which I believe is OpenSSH.On my Windows machine, I've tried connecting to my Slackware machine but can only do so using the external IP, not the LAN IP, instead I get a "Connection Refused" error using PuTTy. I've forwarded port 22 for both UDP and TCP packets to my Slackware machine.I don't really know what information you need so just ask me and I'll respond to the best of my abilities.

I have a desktop hooked up to a router and plugged into my TV. I like to run Totem and have videos running full screen on my TV. I would like to control that Totem using my laptop (connected to the same router over wifi). How would I go about doing that? I connected to my desktop using SSH and tried to send signals to Totem, but nothing worked. I tried using VNC, and that was ineffective as well.
