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?
View 1 RepliesI am currently working on a Diskless Fedora10 based PXE image that should auto login and then launch the ICA client without launching the desktop (so normal autostart will not cut it)I have got the image up and running, the clients boot correctly, autologin etc, but still launch KDE, and I was hoping replace the desktop with the ICA Client.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a truly freakish thing happening here. First I'll start with a general map:
Workstation A (10.10.0.100) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to mydomain.local via likewise-open
Workstation B (10.10.0.101) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to mydomain.local via likewise-open
Workstation C (10.10.0.102) - Ubuntu 10.10 NOT joined to any domain
Server A (10.10.0.1) - Windows 2003 AD Server on mydomain.local
Server B (10.20.0.1) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to otherdomain.remote
As you can see I've successfully installed likewise and I've been able to get SUCCESS notifications from the join. I've been able to log in locally with a domain user and use a domain user password. I've also added a special Group in AD for linuxadmins and then added that to my /etc/sudoers file so I can sudo from a Domain Account. Great right? I'm slowly replacing Windows. But there's a hitch:
I can't SSH from machine to machine! but it's still not quite that simple.
I can SSH from Workstation A to Workstation C as a Domain User.
I can SSH(Putty) from Server A to Workstation A and B as a Domain User.
I can SSH from Server B to Workstation C as an alternate Domain User.
I can't SSH from Workstation A to Workstation B as a Domain User.
I can SSH from Workstation A to Workstation B as a Local User.
I can SSH from Workstation B to Workstation A as a Local User.
I can't SSH from Workstation B to Workstation A as a Domain User.
Complicated enough for you? The simple version is that if it's joined to the domain I can't ssh into another machine that's also joined to the domain while I'm a domain user. But give me a local account and it's as if there's not problem. I tried looking through the logs to find something but wasn't about to find a "sshd" type log. Syslog was completely unhelpful as it doesn't really show anything for the time stamps of my connections. Where does one start troubleshooting this?
I thought it might be a groups thing like the sudoers file, but I don't have an ssh or sshd group. Oh and what does SSH do? What's the error it throws?

network in my lab is running NIS and NFS. one of our workstations (say, workstation A) died, so we replaced it with a new computer. A user emailed me saying that he can't login to the new workstation A. I instructed him to do:
mv ~/.ssh/known_hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts_old
He did it, and then got back to me with the following message:

I have been trying to get a virtual machine manager working for days and I am at my wits end. I have tried googling /usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64/scripts/recordmcount.pl but to no avail.
New to Fedora. I am trying to install Fedora 11 onto Dell Workstation 670. would you please kindly let me know
1) which install media could i use?2) could I maintain both Fedora 11 and Windows on my workstation?
I am using FC13 (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64) with a ASUS MB/Athlon II X4 CPU for the hardware.Recently my workstation keeps freezing, the power is still on, but the screen goes black,I cannot ping it from other computers on the network, the only thing to do is to press the power switch.
Questions:
* I cannot find any messages in the log, no kernel panic message on the screen, I even installed kdump but no kernel dump is created,does it means it can only be a hardware problem ? I have a vendor kernel module for my NIC and my video card could they cause that kind of problem ?
* I am logging the CPU temp every minutes and I notice that on a few occasion the CPU is close to 70C when the workstation freeze,is 70C too hot for the CPU, is that what CPU do when they reach a temp to high for them to operates ?
I just received a new workstation from a vendor with Fedora14 supposedly installed in it. The problem is, it does not boot up properly. Although I've contacted them to resolve the problem, I thought I'd ask here to see if I can expedite things. Bottom line, the machine goes through the boot-up process, but only so far. Rather than getting to the log-in screen, I only see a white bar at the bottom of the screen, with "Fedora14" adjacent to it. Is there a way that I can get into the set of configuration menus for setting up the OS? They neglected to include the source disks with the system, if that is what is required.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA few years back, Ubuntu announced a "partnership" with Sun Microsystems, and explicitly listed the Ultra 40 Workstation is compatible with the then current version of Ubuntu. I installed that version (8.04) on my Ultra 40 M2 workstations, and everything worked very well. I later upgraded them to 8.10 and then 9.04, with good results.
Well, now I'm trying to jump to 10.04, and I'm having no luck.
A fresh install seems to hang at GRUB (as near as I can tell.) I get a quarter screen of magenta (the top 1/4 of the screen turns magenta) and then ... nothing. Hang. I've tried re-installing with the full graphical install, and got this hang from the Live CD. Using the "alternate install" CD in text mode, everything seemed to install fine, but the first reboot hangs immediately.
Suspecting GRUB 2, I moved to another machine and decided to try an in place upgrade rather than a fresh install. I figured that the upgrade would retain Grub 1, and I'd have a better chance.
So far, "better" is a good word. Only a little better, though, unfortunately. The upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 seemed to work OK, but upon reboot, I got a message telling me that it was waiting for the partitions to mount. <ESC> gets you to a recovery console, which is great. I can mount all the partitions by hand, and they seem to mount, sort of. "df" doesn't see them, but you can access all files on all partitions, so they really are mounted. When you exit the recovery console, however, you go back to waiting for them to mount.
Have the changes to Ubuntu left the Sun Workstations behind? Do I need to switch to another distro, or put Solaris 10 back on these things? Or are we going to be stuck on Ubuntu 9.04 in our "Advanced Unix Lab?"

I am looking to set my laptop up as a wireless AP which will allow various clients to connect to the wireless nic (wlan0), then funnel traffic to the wired nic (eth0), then on to the router, modem and Internet. I followed this guide and while I've gotten about halfway to my desired results, I've run into a wall.
I have made the changes to /etc/network/interfaces, and have successfully run the nat.sh script (or so I thought). Upon restarting my networking, the wireless AP is available, or at least appears to be. However, the laptop is unable to ping the router or Internet hosts via eth0, and when I connect to the AP, I pull a 169.x.x.x IP address, not the expected 192.168.1.xx address.
My modified /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
# Loopback Interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I tested 11.04 beta 1 on one of my computers and was happy to see VmWare workstation 7.1.4 to work fine on it. Then I decided to upgrade my most frequently used computer to 11.04 beta 2, but I can't get VMware to work properly. When I click on some of the function button such as start a VM or maybe change a setting VMware just closes. I can't figure it out, I've tried it with Unity, Gnome with effects, Gnome without. Nouveau driver, Distro nVidia driver, downloaded nVidia driver, and VGA driver. It was nothing to do with Video driver, but that is about the only hardware difference with the other machine that works, it has Intel Video.
