General :: Remotely View A Desktop From Windows XP?
Oct 11, 2010
I'm using Window-XP and need to remotely connect to a CentOS-5.X server.
UPDATE: I'm looking to visually, securely and with as small a footprint as possible manage a remote Linux system via an GUI. It's not clear to me if Linux has a default method for streaming the desktop. Before installing something on the remote Linux system, is there a grep or find I should run to see if there's existing support on the computer? looked at Xming, but couldn't tell what it's doing; meaning if like WinSCP it's just creating an interface on my end and running CMDs remotely, or if it's streaming the desktop.

I've been spending sometime trying to setup anclient on windowso access my fedora serverI'm currently using xming but there's no way whatsoeverme to make gnome available remotely. The closest I got was to open a standard X session with no icons but just a terminal.Is there any quick sanity check I can do before spending more time on this

Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (i686)
Compiled: #1 SMP Thu Nov 25 01:53:57 UTC 2010
C Library: GNU C Library version 2.7 (stable)
Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8
Desktop Environment: GNOME 2.20
Gnome comes with Vino Remote Desktop as part of it's package. I want Vino to run at boot so that I can login remotely. I am using VNC-4.1.3 for remote viewing. However, I can only view remotely once I have logged-in locally.

What are all the ways you could think of that someone could view your browsing history, upstream from your machine? They don't have physical access, there's nothing on the computer itself and the person trying to hack has skill so I'm thinking like monitoring a proxy somehow, using the ip address somehow, compromising the modem in some way, possibly having access to google account etc. I am new to ubuntu and have really dug it so far but I want to figure how this is/was being done

I have a WinXP machine that is monopolizing a perfectly good monitor. I would like to use that monitor in my Debian Multiple Monitor setup. Is there a way that I can operate my WinXP machine's desktop remotely from a Gnome window on my Debian machine? In this window I would like to be able to see and use the desktop of the WinXP installation on the other hardware platform just as if I were on the WinXP machine itself. I use Synergy already to share the keyboard and mouse. Hearing about Remote Desktops suggests to me that this might be possible. If it is possible how is it done? What software / hardware is required to accomplish it? Are there any "secrets" that I need or should know of to make this work?

I'd like to have my Linux box (a QNAP TS-210 NAS) send the order to go to sleep (or hibernation) to my main Windows 7 computer.As the NAS is running Linux, I can't use psshutdown from SysInternals' PsTools. Is there any Linux equivalent? Or some "magic packet" that can order the Win7 computer to sleep.I know I could install a SSH daemon and trigger a shutdown command from the Linux box using ssh, but ideally I do not want to install anything on the Win7 computer. I can install Linux software on the NAS, no problem about this. PHP, python and perl are also available on it.

I can't remotely access my desktop when the desktop is asking for a keyring password. Why does this happen? it means that remote access is useless because you would need to enter the password locally before you can vnc to it. I do not wish to disable the default keyring but is there a way of making vnc work so I can enter the password.

I have been trying to shutdown a remote XP machine but cannot get it to budge. I did the following on the Windows box:
Ensured no firewall
Started Remote Registry Editing service
Shared a network drive (to enable file sharing?)
Created a user 'shutdown' specifically for shutting down
Added 'shutdown' to Administrators group
Added 'shutdown' to the list of allowed shutdown users in gpedit.msc
Here's what I have tried:
From Windows 7 box:
shutdown -m computer (Access denied message)
psshutdown -m computer (Access denied message)
runas /user:computershutdown "cmd /K shutdown -m computer (access denied)
runas /user:shutdown "cmd /K shutdown -m computer (access denied)
From Linux box:
net rpc shutdown -I computer -U user%password (says shutdown succeeded) rpcclient -I x.x.x.x -c shutdown -U user (gives usage message)

I installed openSUSE 11, which had Linux 2.6.27 kernel. I downloaded Linux 2.6.35 and installed it in my home directory. Now i can see 2 OSs in my GRUB(Linux 2.6.35, Linux 2.6.27). But when i select the new kernel(Linux 2.6.35) from the GRUB during booting, i am not able to see the GNOME desktop. What i am able to see is only the shell. Kindly tell me how to see the desktop after i boot into the new kernel.

I would like to know how I can view two windows side by side on the same desktop (ex. have two openoffice files side by side) and be able to work on both of them at the same time rather than having to click back and forth from window to window. I have seen this done on people that have MAC computers is there anyway to do this on Ubuntu?

I currently use 192.168.1.10:85 to refer to my localhost ip address, and I setup port-based virtualhosts because this seems like the only feasible/practical way to view this from within Windows XP on my Debian's VirtualBox. Is anyone else aware of some advanced techniques in which I could view it by the ServerName instead? I would assume I have to hook it up to some sort of DNS server? I know I can also edit the hosts file in my Windows XP and point certain urls to my IP address, but it will always resolve to the primary default virtualhost.

I posted about viewing desktops remotely (received no reply), as I have an "off task web-drifting" problem with some students in my classroom, due to the fact that I no longer have my old SynchronEyes program. I have Windows Vista Business/XP Pro machines (32 of them in all) and I cannot view desktops remotely, regardless of the fact that 1) the Remote Desktop Service is enabled, and 2) I know the IP numbers and the domain names. How can I view desktops remotely with the Remote Desktop Viewer tool in Ubuntu, with the fact that the IP addresses are correct and the Remote Desktop Service is enabled on all 32 machines?

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?

In this particular example I am using NoMachine's NX, although the behaviour also occurs when running VNC for instance. I'd like to connect from my laptop (1 physical screen), to my desktop at work (2 physical screen) via NX. It all works but the following problem occurs: When I connect with my laptop to my desktop I (almost) always am connected to the 2nd physical screen, whereas all windows appear on this first screen. I can interact with my desktop, use the task manager etc, see which windows are running, but any application I start, starts on the first screen (which I cannot see) and for the life of me I cannot move them from screen1 to screen2 without dragging them (which obviously is impossible since I only see screen2).The obvious workaround is: *before* you connect disable the second screen via the display manager but for me this is a non-pratical work around because it requires a lot of actions before heading home. how I can connect from a single-head desktop to a dual-head desktop without crippeling my desktop experience?

I came back to see on the screen a message requesting remote desktop control. So I said no and went into remote desktop and said never allow connection. I had recently hosted a PHP app on the home pc for testing purposes using apache. Here are some of the last logs entries:

I am at my own desktop and I have root access on my own desktop.
I also have root access on a Desktop Ubuntu system (192.168.5.10) on the LAN. I need to create another desktop user account on that 192.168.5.10 system.
So I logged into that system with: ssh -Y myself@192.168.5.10
Then I did: sudo users-admin
This brings up the Users Settings but the Add User and Unlock buttons are disabled. How do I enable these buttons?

I have won my fight and my father in law accepted to give gnu/linux a try as his server and to run on the computer of the new company he is starting. One feature he would like is to be able to access his work desktop (graphicaly) from home. On my side, I would like to be able to control his desktop from home if I need to show him things. I already can SSH in terminal to install and maintain stuff but, to move the mouse around and point him where to click or what to use would be invaluable.

I am an entrepreneur/design engineer so I do a lot modeling, rendering, etc and lot of my programs can only run in Windows. I have a fully licensed version of XP that I want to install on the computer and wondering if it is possible to do the following: Partition a portion of the drive for XP. (VMware isn't the greatest as you lose your 3D acceleration, so I definitely want to do the partition) Install my programs and ensure they run. Use the machine as a virtual desktop remotely?

Is it possible to connect remotely to a Windows PC from Ubuntu.I know these people that are constantly receiving Malware on their PC's and when I'm around. The problem is, they are over 200 Miles away, and I won't be in the area until a very long time. Would it be possible to connect to their PC remotely with Ubuntu and remove their viruses via ClamAV?

Is there any way to install a Ubuntu server and access the server remotely via a Ubuntu desktop environment instead of a SSH command line?
I will be installing a Ubuntu server in an office where the office manager will need to be able to do simple things like add/remove users, access filesystems, etc. She can handle these tasks in Ubuntu desktop/GUI, but it is impractical for her to have to learn how to use the CLI terminal to do this stuff.
Will I have to install desktop Ubuntu on the server to do this, or can I install Ubuntu server version and setup another computer Ubuntu desktop to remotely login graphically?
