Sorry about the newbie question(I haven't used UNIX since college) I've just been given control of a new CentOS server which is running in another country. I can connect via Putty from my windows desktop but how do I connect to it via a GUI (X, gnome, KDE???). what do I need to setup on the server and 2. what (pref. free) software do I need on my windows PC? (I take it putty won't support a GUI)

I am accessing the SUN server from my linux box through the command ssh -X username@computer_id through i could run the programs I am enable to get xwindow applications.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with users logging into a server. There are multiple (5 or so) database admins that have to log into a windows 2003 server and from there log into a red hat server. Once they are in the rhel box they execute an app (let's say xclock) that gives them an xwindows session on their desktop. Currently only one person can do this at a time, but they have asked me to configure it to allow multiple users to log into the red hat box from the windows server and run an xwindow.

That didnt' work. There's an X11 directory with a file called 'prefdm' that has a bunch of code in it that I have no idea what it means. how to get X windows to start?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the xfs font server and the Xwindows environment. I'm using the RHL9 kernel with RTLinux, the application has been running fine for years on multiple systems, but recently we changed CPUs and now I'm periodically getting microscopic fonts (1 out of 5 reboots). The other times the fonts come up perfectly normal. I've tried changing settings for xfs and XF86Config but nothing seems to work. I've checked the system logs but haven't found anything. I'm running out of things to look for.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSometimes I use vnc server and start desktop. The memory use rises about 2gb during this. I need to be able to turn off the xwindows after I shutdown vnc without rebooting.

I had to hard boot the system and now system is hanging. However, I can ssh into the system from another machine so I know only X windows hung.

I am very new to Linux and I hope someone on here can provide some help.
Goal:
I am am developing an embedded application on Linux 2.6 that will hopefully run without a GUI. There will be no user input just simply displaying information to the user in a graphical form. I will be drawing the screen in C and outputting this to the display.
Problem:
I don't know how to draw to the display? From reading and talking with others, I think I can write to the frame buffer and that will output to the display, but I am not sure this is rite. If it is correct, can someone explain how this is done? Is there another way to draw to the screen without using the windows API?
There is something wrong with the Xwindows start of my centos5.4 ( 2.6.18-164.el5 X86_64). After several times to try to start the Xwindows, there is a warning message as following:
gdm[5917]: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.
I am implementing an automated backup scheme so I created a shell script which first creates SQL dumps for all MySQL databases, then retrieves all websites from the /var/www directory of a remote server. The latter is working as I am using rsync to get the remote files.However, the MySQL dumps being retrieved are the ones from the local server which is not what I want. I want to get the SQL dumps from the remote server as well.I have a tunnel between the local and remote server which I can connect to without using any password (I added the public key to the authorized_hosts), so I tried to add the following code to the script:
ssh user@192.168.x.xxx
I then attempted to retrieve the SQL dumps and exited from the remote server. However this does not work as I still have to enter exit manually in the terminal for the SQL dumps to be retrieved from the remote host. I don't know why this is happening. This is what the script is trying to do:
//connect to remote server
ssh user@192.168.x.xxx
//retrieve SQL dumps
[code]...
Is there a way to connect to the remote host AND run the script's code on THAT remote host?
I just downloaded and installed netinst version debian 6.0.2.1. I've had ubuntu before, and several usb live versions...but I really wanted to learn how linux works, and it was suggested I get debian. I've been unable to get anything accomplished, other than the basic install. Can't get gnome, or xwindows. Seems to me like I need more repositories. Need a Desktop! But mostly, I guess, I need a browser so I can hook up to here!
My computer is:
Dell Latitude 2100
2gb ram
Broadcom BCM4312
I tried to get Xterm. Went su, then apt-get install xterm...it's able to 'read' everything, but then no matter *what* I try to install, I get this same answer : E: Unable to locate package xterm
So I research, and it seems like I'm lacking in repositories. Here's my sources.list. I made a backup. I'm having to *type* everything in, on this computer, until I can get a browser working on the linux machine. So if there are typos I have ethernet cable hookup. I know from past experience sometimes this broadcom wireless card can be a problem. For now, I just want *anything* to work, and get some kind of hookup, so I can finish installing. I've reinstalled 3 times, with iso...
Here's my sources.list. Until I hear from one of you'all, I'm gonna look for a better one, and then vi edit it in here...

View 2 Replies View RelatedAs we know, we can connect to a linux server on a linux or Unix system by typing "ssh username@domain.name.whatever". But it seems like we cannot do things like this by Windows Command Prompt. I mean we cannot connect to a Linux shell by a simple command right? Just want to make sure if this is impossible without installing extra tools(like sftpc or anything).

Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine.
