Fedora Servers :: RDP As Console Session?
Aug 29, 2011
I have RDP working fine on my machine, however when I am signed in locally to the machine, I get the "console" session, which is fine, but when I want to RDP from another machine, I am put into a separate session, instead of "taking over" the console session.Is there a way to do this, similar to how RDP works on a windows machine?I have tried running the mstsc /console command, but I still get stuck into a non-console session.

I'd like to remotely administer my Linux machine at home whilst I'm at work. Only ports 80 and 443 are avaiable, through an HTTP proxy. I don't want to install tunnelling software.What I really need is something that'll run on my server and display a console inside a web browser.

I have a logitech wireless keyboard/mouse, but just lost the tiny usb wireless receiver.
I want to use my laptop as the keyboard for the other machine (Ubuntu 10.10) until I replace the keyboard and mouse.
Is it possible to control the console session's keyboard over ssh? I only want keyboard control, I don't want to use something like VNC because the video is too slow.
EDIT: I'd like to be clear that I want to be able to control gui applications running on the console session, so something like unix screen won't

My hard drive's file system has become totally mucked up. I had a few partitions on it, 0 is XP, 1 is vista, 2 is Debian, and 3 is the data. I know that it's this hard drive because when I disconnect it, any liveCD runs ok. After failing to boot puppy linux (liveCD), xp (bootmgr not found), debian (ended in kernal panic), I tried GPARTED. The xp and vista partitions are listed as existing, but they show a problem flag, gparted says they are corrupt, and they are not listed as having a start, end, or any data. However, the main data partition does list a start, end, size, and data space used.
I need to either format those or get into something that will let me access the data partition. Gparted either hangs on boot or doesn't recognise the mouse so I can't reformat the bad partitions. Are there any programs that will ignore the bad partitions and let me access the good ones? Any time I go into a linux distro it either ends up in kernel panic or the mouse doesn't respond. It's hard to explain. With GPARTED, sometimes it hangs at the third line, sometimes it fails at "mounting hard drives", and sometimes it makes it to the GUI but I can't use the mouse. Debian alternates between these as well.
If I keep trying it looks like I can boot, and it will recognise the partitions, but I can't use the mouse. I'm kind of familar with bash, is there a way to start up the terminal with no gui? If I could get a terminal up with a hotkey in the GUI or just start up from a terminal (no gui), I could type mv dev/sda3/ or whatnot. If I could get into a terminal of gparted I could format the bad parts of the drive to see if that would work. Otherwise it looks like I'm going to have to zero out the drive with the WD diag tool. The data isn't life or death, but it would save me some time.

I have a question regarding runlevels, shutdown procedure and KDM. I am on a freshly installed Slackware64 13.37 multilib system. The default runlevel in /etc/inittab is set to 3: multiuser w/o X.
Now, I log in as root and issue the command:
Code:
As expected, KDM starts up, and I log in to KDE (or another WM/DE) as a normal users. When I am finished, I either issues
Code:
In Konsole or click on Shutdown in the KDE menu. The shutdown process is initiated, as expected, but then it stops, and a window alerts me, that there is a session open by user 'root'. If I click OK, the machine is finally shut down.
Now, if I interpret this correctly, the behaviour of Slackware64 13.37 has changed here, compared to 13.1. In previous versions, the root seesion was closed, when I changed the runlevel to 4 with the telinit command. Now, the session remains open, obviously.
My question is: Is this the correct behaviour, and isn't this a security whole? An unnoticed (!) open root session while I am surfing the web as an unprivileged user in KDE could be dangerous, I think...
Is it misconfiguration in my system, or is this the way it should be?

I am currently in a project to set up an LTSP server with 10 thin clients. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).
Installing server and booting clients are working fine. Now, according to the need, I have to restrict user session numbers and allow resuming previous user session.
I have achieved to do the first one, but still could not able to setup the second one. As per requirement, if some thin can have power failure, the same session should be restored back. I am confused here, if I need to focus on saving xsessions or saving gnome sessions. I am looking for a concrete solution as I am running out of time.

I have two version of PHP installed on my Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 server - the default PHP 5.3.2 that comes with the distribution - and I then compiled PHP 5.2.14 to the /opt/php5.2.14 directory and it runs in Apache via FastCGI mode.The PHP 5.3.2 is working without any problem and it places all session files in the /home/session-data folder - which is set in the PHP.INI file.The PHP 5.2.14 also has the same directive set and it shows via a phpinfo() that it is set correctly:session.save_path=/home/session-dataI have ensured that all session variables/settings are the same between PHP 5.3.2 and PHP 5.2.14 - but the PHP 5.2.14 does not pay attention to the save path and is still placing the session files in the /tmp folder.Checking the session files in the /tmp folder, they are owned by www-data with 600 chmod permission settings (read/write for user, no access for group/others).

I'm having an issue with Ubuntu 10.04 server, where it is not bringing up a console on the local machine.
The only display on the local screen (and in /var/log/boot.log) is:
Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sda1: clean, 100725/2342912 files, 781590/9357824 blocks
init: ureadahead-other main process (595) terminated with status 4
Hitting <alt>-<f[anything]> just brings up a blank screen with a single flashing cursor, and no login prompt.
The ureadahead message sounds like the classic Windows error: "The operation could not be completed because of the following error: The operation completed successfully." So ureadahead isn't the problem.
Also... ssh works, but other services (apache, mysql, smbd, nfs-kernel-server, etc) need to be started manually.

I've been working on this since last night (a few hours) but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I'll spare you the details of what I've tried already.
Could someone guide me through connecting to my Ubuntu server using a remote X session? The "kicker" is that I want to do this from a Knoppix LIVE CD. So whatever method I am given will have to be something that is common to most Linux distros.
I imagine I will need help with two important steps:
1) verifying that I have an xserver of some kind running on my server.
2) command line statement for starting the Xserver from the remote machine.

I get an error message that says phpMyAdmin - Error, Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
So I did some googling and found a post here {URL]... which speaks about resetting the ownership of the session directory. However I am wondering how I can find out what the owner if the directory is (if its root or admin or ...)
It's strange because it all worked fine just about two hours ago and I am not sure since I have the server automatically download security updates if there is something it automatically downloaded that caused this. Also how to make the server stop automatically downloading security updated?

I stream my local police station dispatch on the web using an icecast/darkice configuration [URL]. The downside of using this software is that once you initiate darkice, a terminal has to be open - the process does not run in the background.
I tried placing a monitor on my server (ouch, that hurt) and keeping darkice alive that way, but my mail server kicks the process. Now, I set the KeepAlive variable to something outrageous and keep an ssh session open on my desktop box to keep the stream going. Screen does not work as Postfix boots that as well.
keeping the process going indefinately?

I have been using proftp for about 8 months. After getting the configuration right, it worked perfectly. It is only used intermittently, so I don't know for sure when the problems started, but I suspect it was triggered by a recent OS upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit). I have proftp set up so that TLS is required on both the data and control channels. The problem is that, after successful login, the server seems to be terminating the session because the client (FileZilla) is attempting to renegotiate something (probably the TLS). The client settings didn't change, nor did the server settings.
I have tried switching off the TLSRequired flag, and am then able to establish a non-secure FTP session which works (but that does not meet my requirements). I wondered whether the OS upgrade had somehow invalidated my TLS certificates, but the symptoms don't seem consistent with that cause. The TLS part of my proftpd.conf file is:

I have my headless server, and just plugged a spare monitor into it, opened up screen, ran htop on it, so I can see the system status, but the screen keeps shutting off after so long. The only way to "wake it up", is to use a local keypress (which means I have to hook a keyboard back up to it). I have already tried 'setterm -powersave off -powerdown 0', but it didn't affect it any. Is there any way to disable this powersaving mode?

Is there a way to get console output over a serial (COM) port? I have a box that I use as a NAS, DNS, DHCP and mt-daapd server, I don't have a spare monitor and it is not worth buying one just to use it once or twice a year.
I found this guide [url] but it doesn't work with Natty

I was running 8.something on my ubuntu server. Today I decided to upgrade releases! So I started it, all via ssh cos the box is about 800 miles away and it was going just fine. However - I went away from the pc for about a hour, and my ssh session died. On reconnect it starts a new ssh session - and I dont know how to reconnect to the upgrade process and finish it off.

I have just installed a version of 32 bits Lucid LTS on a server box. I would like to setup a VNC service so that I will be able to login to the server with VNC viewer and spawn a gnome-session. I ran the following command:
Code:
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
apt-get install Xvnc xinetd
I was in front of the server and make sure that I can start a gdm locally. Then, I added Xvnc service to xinetd following the guide here: {URL] I was only using a session, and /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc is as follow:
Code:
service Xvnc
{
type = UNLISTED
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc .....
After all, I restart gdm by "/etc/init.d/gdm restart". When I try to start a VNC connection from another machine, I can see Xvnc running successfully. But XDMCP does not run properly and I cannot see a traditional ubuntu login screen. I am sure that port 177 UDP is opening by looking at the output of "netstat -anp".

I built a 11.04 server system in vmware workstation a few days ago, set it up for something and now I have a strange problem. It boots without problem. I can login via ssh, the services run and everything is OK from the outside. But on the console there's just a fast blinking cursor on the screen, no login or anything to that affect. Just blank and a blinking cursor.

I have a very bad attempt at hashing the components of an tcp session to assign/locate the session in a hash table bucket. I am pretty sure that it has a very high collision rate and when there are a very large number of tcp sessions my application is having to search a long linked list to find the session within the bucket.
All the hashing functions I have found take a single string input where I need to input several integers and hash them into a single result. My guess is that any real hashing function is going to produce better results than what I am currently doing.
