I've been shaking my head these last few days trying to VNC into my Linux machine from my Windoze 7 machine using SSH. Here is what I've currently done so far:I have SSH configured using port 8567, and have opened the tcp port 8567 in my firewall. I am able to ssh into the linux machine using putty on windoze, and do anything on the command line just fine.Here is what I did with the VNC:I've installed VNC server with the command:yum install VNC-ServerAfter this I went and edited the the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file:VNCSERVERS=7:billygoatVNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -localhostThen I started the servicevncserver :7 -localhost
From what I gathered from other postings is that I don't have to open anymore ports for VNC in the firewall, because I'm going to "tunnel" using SSH and port 8567, that's what I needed to add localhost.Now I've set up putty for tunneling with the source port of 5901, and a destination port of localhost:5901.Ok, now when I connect, I can ssh just fine, log in and navigate through all my files. However when I start Real VNC and type in localhost:1, and click connect, I always get the error message: The connection closed unexpectedly. Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to localhost:1?
I need to run a GUI on my server (To be able to run an Code::Blocks or Lazarus) and then access the server GUI via a terminal window on Windoze XP. I have SSH running on the server and PuTTY on windoze, which is fine for a shell but I need the GUI.So... which is the best GUI for the server and which terminal software on XP?
I just tried to download f14 onto a windoze box, because my Linux (F11) box is not connected (Cant get wireless usb to work)! After over an hour, I have a loose collection of files, when I thought I was downloading an 'ISO' file! Where Do I go to download an earlier version (F12 or F13), maybe they will give me a 'true' single 'ISO' file? (Fedoraproject only shows F14, no other options.)
How can I install software that comes as a .run file in a way that it is accessible at the command line and under the applications menu or the equivalent? I am aware that root privileges are required and know how to get them. The publisher of the software does not publish .rpm files.
The distribution I am using now, which will remain nameless other than it is not Fedora, is very secure, but nobody seems willing or able to tell me how to do this. There is an old version of the software for my distribution available, but it is three releases and likely a couple of years old. I looked around the file system, found the executable, but it was a small file that probably calls the real executable under another name.
The software in question is a electronic circuit capture and printed circuit board design program. I have numerous projects and a library I need access to.As for installing the Windoze (Quattro Pro) software, I couldn't get it to install at all, even with root privileges. (WINE complained I didn't have root privileges when I invoked it at the # prompt. I couldn't determine how to install the software on anything other than XP. ) I wasn't and remain uninterested in debugging multimegabyte spreadsheets a second time
I know the fairly straightforward and obvious answer to this question, but I wanted to get the peoples' thoughts and feedback about it.I need to use Windoze for general work and school reasons. There have been a few things, namely ActiveX controls, that I have been unable to port to Linux.My question is: would it be better to use Windoze or Linux as the host OS, and why?
I would normally consider throwing the laptop out the window but I have not done that.YetHere's the situation. I got fed up with Windoze. So I downloaded Opensuse 11.2 onto a dvd. I then installed it.Ran/Started Opensuse for the first time... Wow. Beautiful, amazing, fast, etc etc. So.. Okay so far, except for one or 3 niggles, one of the main ones being that I could'nt connect to the Net.Anyway, I rebooted, and when the Startup (?)-Screen came up, it had 2 versions of Opensuse on the 'list' (one of them a Safe Mode), and ....3 versions of Windoze. Yeah.. Three. First bit of confusion.
I clicked on "Windows 1" and got a black scree with the words "Boot Mgr missing" (or similar), 'Press Ctrl Alt Del"..... Great, I thought. So I did that, anyway, and upon reboot tried "Windows 2" instead; same thing. Tried a third reboot, and "Windows 3". SAME. Now I'm P****d off.......Apparently, when it was installing, it said it would be 'Shrinking' Windows to make space. Would this have anything to do with it? How on earth do I get Windoze BACK, at least until I can try out another version of Opensuse OR a different Linux Distro????
I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 JJ on several ex-windoze/dual boot machines for my family. All has gone well apart from one niggle with email. We have used Eudora for years and been quite happy with it. Having looked at the Linux offerings I found the Evolution packaged with Ubuntu offered the most similar feature set (correct me if I'm wrong - I have not looked at a huge selection). All is well except for one or two little problems importing Eudora mailboxes -
1) all 'sent' mails seem to lose the date/time information - I have tried the import feature on Evolution and also manually moving the mailboxes. In both cases the messages are fine but no date information is carried over. Received mails are fine in both cases. This makes proper archiving very difficult.
2) mails lose the 'replied/reply' flags. Now the second is no big deal and may be a 'feature' of Eudora not implementing the Berkeley format correctly (or the feature doesn't exist anyway). The first however is a bit of a devil - if it is incorrect format by Eudora then shame on them.
I am thinking of installing Ubuntu on my machine, and I may need to still keep windows 7 around for certain games/apps. I want to do a full disk encryption using Truecrypt. As I understand, Truecrypt is compatible with both linux/windows/OSX, and has an option for a "hidden operating system."I want to Install both win7 and ubuntu, with ubuntu as a hidden OS. I have watched tutorials on ..... showing the method for creating a hidden OS for Windows, in this tutorial the second volume was created from the first volume and was effectively a clone of the original OS. Basically what I am asking is---- Is it possible for a hidden volume with a bootable version of Ubuntu Linux to cohabitate on the same drive as windows?If so, are there any howto's/tutorials you could point me to?
My old Creative Zen MP3 player has just gone titsup - it's gone into recovery mode and attempts to reload the firmware come up with device not connected errors (even under Windoze XP) So I'm looking around for a replacement and the Cowon D2 looks good as it takes SD cards like the zen (and I'd just bought 2 new 8Gb cards). The Zen used mtpfs which worked under linux but not well an I believe the D2 just connects as USB memory. Anyone out there using a Cowon D2 under Linux?
This card has been the bane of my existence for a while. In the old days I could get it to work with Fedora using a generic video driver. A friend recommended OpenSuse because of my love for KDE.
The good news is that install went greeeeat. But after that, I once again got a black screen with a line randomly done it. Is there a way to change? I tried changing those resolution options but it didn't work. I have the Windoze driver from Dell's site. Its Dell Inspiron 5160.
TV hardware, convert a windoze XP media centre to a Linux os system. Windows XP Media center , a nice box but need to move on, the motherboard fried on the piece of S HP box but after replacing it my TV tuner card will not be recognized by Linux. MythTV doesnot or will not see it.
I'm trying to build a Fedora 12 cluster to run DHCP on top of two servers using pacemaker and drbd. The pacemaker runs great but i'm having the hardest time getting DRBD installed.
My kernel version is 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE First i tried to [root@dhcp-primary drbd]#yum install drbd this doesn't give me everything because apparently the kernel module for DRBD must be built from source. so i unpacked drbd-8.3.6.tar.gz and tried :
[Code]...
I'm not very experienced in compiling from source i'd love to make an rpm for this but after scouring the web and trying different install methods, I am still at a loss.
Being on a low budget and I can't afford to buy Redhat would you recommend using Fedora for setting up dedicated servers? I know Fedora is known to be "bleeding edge" in technology, which concerns me with the stability of the server. Would you recommend a more stable Linux distro? I was also wondering if there is any way to know what these web hosting companies are using in their servers: [url]
I setup an rsync in cron to sync a master server with a backup server. however not everything gets copied over or removed. I believe this to be a permissions issue on the backup server. I am using a user we created specifically for this, and the rsync is setup to preserve permissions and delete files that have been deleted on the master..
Of course the ip address, user and port number is something else then above.. Is there a way to make the user that is initiating the sync into a superuser like root? That way everything on the backup server can be updated as necessary? I don't want to use root, Id like it to be a name I can keep relatively confidential.
I have tried both Vino (built-in GNOME VNC) and x11vnc and both of them have the same result:[URL]Does anyone know what causes this and how I can fix it?
Is it possible to run 2 web sites on the same server at the same time? I want to test MediaWiki on the box that currently hosts my MoinMoin web site but I don't want to disable MoinMoin.MoinMoin is public. MediaWiki would be accessed strictly from inside my home network. No public access.
If any of you have successfully created a video hosting server with Fedora, can you give me any ideas of what software to get and how to configure it and so on? Or, if you have been unsuccessful, can you tell me what doen't work?
i've set a server Fedora 11 using Vsftpd + database berkley + ssl 'certificate) he works perfectly. So i wanted to set a new one on Fedora 14, there is the problem..On my fedora 14, i tryed to use the configuration file that i've made on the F11 but withtout success. It seems that when i activate the SSL option on the server it does not want to start anymore... and i have no errors messages. I notice that when i desactivate the SSL "ssl_enable=NO" my server on F14 can start normaly.
I am trying to edit my http configuration (menu System -> Administration -> Server Settings -> HTTP) and it seems to be impossible. My Server Name comes up empty and I want to change the default Webmaster email address root@localhost to something else, but I can't change anything. I enter mu new server name and e-mail address, but when I click on the OK button I get a popup box which asks me if I want to save and exit. I click on the Yes button, and the box disappears. HTTP Server configuration does not exit and my changes are not saved.
I hope this is the right section, it looks like though. I have a small nas ( via artigo a2000 ) with 2 sata hd 1tb each with raid 1 and lvm on top configured and working great.
sda1 and sdb1 ==> md0 raid1 for /boot sda2 and sdb2 ==> md1 raid1 for swap sda3 and sdb3 ==> md2 raid1 as physical volume then volume group and lvs on top ( / is a logial volume of these )
I wish to upgrade the current fedora 12 32bit installation I have on it doing a fresh install. But because I have a lot of data on md2 ( 600GB worth ) which I don't want to copy across somewhere else first, I need to know how ( i am pretty sure i can ) to mount md2 during the installation. This way I can use the data I already have on it.
Im having a hard time trying to change my raid configuration. Here is my situation:
A have two HDs that I configured in instalation time to work as raid squid proxy-cache. they are both 40GB. 40+40=80GB. So, I want to change it to two of 160GB. 160+160=320GB.
I have: sdc1=40GB sdd1=40GB
im adding / want: sda1=160GB sdb1=160GB
I want to remove the two 40GB and use only the two 160GB for my proxy. The thing is that when I remove the two 40GB, the system crashes at startup telling me that the raid cant be done then file system check fales too. Im wondering if there is a file a have to edit to change to point it to /dev/sda1 intead of /dev/sdc1 for example, so my system would start up looking for sda1(160GB) and sdb1(160GB) intead of sdc1(40GB) and sdd1(40GB).
I am trying to setup sendmail on a fc10 box with dovecot running imap. I have everything configured and running on the server. For example, when I run "echo 'test' | mail -s test user@mydomain.com" or even to someuser@gmail.com, the mail goes through just fine. I can then reply from both of those accounts back to the server, no problem.
Relaying denied Cannot send mail. The SMTP server does not recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Entourage. Try changing the SMTP authentication options in Account settings or contact your network administrator.
I have a Fedora 10 box I am using as a web development server. I have most everything working. I am trying to use sendmail as an MTA for sending out emails and I am having problems having the messages delivered. The error always comes up as connection timed out. I have attempted to telnet to many different MX server on port 25 from the Fedora box and each time I try I never get a connection.
This made me think that it might be something with ISP doing port filtering to prevent SPAM or something, however I can telnet to port 25 from different computer on the network. I also have stopped IPTABLES in an effort to try and resolve this issue and am still getting connections timed out.
I have run TCPDUMP while trying to telnet to port 25 to an MX server from the Fedora 10 server and all I see are out bound packets. I also explored the idea that I might of had some kind of weird routing issue on my firewall. I am currently using a Juniper NetScreen 5GT with an ANY/ANY outbound rule. I do not currently have SMTP open on the firewall as I am not planning on accepting mail here.
The best I can figure as telneting to port 25 from windows computers on the same network as the Fedora server works just fine, yet it does not work from the Fedora Server is that it must be some thing on the Fedora box itself, but I have no clue as to what I could be.
I run into a problem when trying to use my XP as VNCViewer and my Fedora 10 as VNCServer I installed VNC server and client in both my XP and Fedora. If I am using Fedora VncViewer through XP, it runs with no problem. But not the otherway around? (XP vncviewer to FC) Yes..... I know this happens a lot and I can google it, but I googled it with no luck! IP address for my Fedora is 10.0.10.148
I run VncServer in Fedora by typing 'vncserver' or 'vncserver :1', and comes out with the display screen number (1) and the log file. I checked the log file and there are a few errors. (see attached) I run VncViewer from XP, type in 10.0.10.148:1 and still got "Connection refused (10061)' (please see attached again). I attached the startup file as well for you to see. Port 5900 TCP and UDP are open, I can ping from XP to Fedora, I can telnet, but I can't VNC.
I am using Exceed (the hummingbird) as an X emulator on my PC, I have X11 forwarding turned on in putty, and I have the DISPLAY environment variable set to the PC IP address + , like so DISPLAY=192.168.100.11:0. When I type startx, however, the Xsession starts at the console. How can I get it to come up on the PC?
I installed fedora10 on my system with live cd.I started httpd service.I also set static IP address, subnetmask and default gateway as my proxy server.It is only accessible through http://localhost at the same machine.but I need to access it through http://ipaddress/ on my other LAN machines which has window operating system.
I installed vsftpd in FC6 and made it started and listen. I can use ftp in local machine to connect ftp on another machines, but I cannot connect the ftp of local machine from other computers in the office (the same network). I can use ssh to connect the machine, so I don't think it should be a firewall problem.
But when I type ftp and the IP try to connect the ftp, after a long time show up:
I need to setup a Linux Environment win NIS. The difference is that I want users homedirectory to be local to their machines and if users want / try to login on some other machine, his home directory should be mounted there. ie; different from what the conventional NIS setup where all users home directory will be physically located at NIS Master server (client-server model), I need it to be on each user's machine (peer2peer).
Ok this is one of those questions that have probably been made often. But I just CANNOT find a way around this on Fedora, and i have searched for it alot. Basically, after remotely rebooting my server, i'm not able to connect through vnc because the server needs to login. I've looked into an automatic login, but this is not the way i want to go. Edit: I'm using the default fedora vnc server, and RealVNC on my Windows computer. Been to ##linux on freenode, but at the time, noone there could answer me either.
