Networking :: Can't Connect To XRDP Machine
Apr 8, 2010
I installed XRDP on my home machine, made sure the service was running, NAT'ed ports 3350 and 3389 TCP to the machine in my router and punched corresponding holes through Guarddog on these ports on the machine as well, but connecting with: rdesktop -f "my IP here" from my workplace doesn't work. I get "unable to connect".
I have a feeling, it's still the firewall. Do I need to tick permitting the rdesktop protocol in both the "local" and the "Internet" zone or do I need to also establish specific custom rules?

Looking to install xrdp on my machine, but have not been able to do so. I have followed the directions that came with it, but the install command does not seem to work.

I am using xRDP to remotely log into my desktop. I have my user set up to use the classic no-effects desktop when logging into the console. Problem is, when I log in via xRDP, it uses unity. How do I tell the machine to use classic no-effects when using xRDP?

I can log into my Debian 8 Jessie XFCE server via XRDP from Windows 7 and can do everything I could normally do if I was using the machine. The only problem is the Network Manager, it states I have no connection. It doesn't display connection information, even states that there is no connection (even though I am remotely connected to it from my Windows machine, can install software and can access the Internet on the machine in question). This isn't a problem as it seems I can access anything regardless, the only thing I can not access is the Network Manager which I need access to so I can connect to my VPN.
Below is my xrdp.ini information...
Code: Select all#dark_grey=808080
#blue=08246b
#dark_blue=08246b
#white=ffffff
#red=ff0000
#green=00ff00
#background=626c72
[xrdp1]
name=sesman-Xvnc
lib=libvnc.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=-1
I can access the Network Manager if I use the machine but as soon as I go headless and XRDP into it, I no longer can.
I've been racking my brain over this for days, trying to read up on as much as I can about the issue but am still struggling to find a solution. Unfortunately this must be done via a GUI.

Right now I have a machine set up running Fedora. I have configured inittab to accept Console Logins, but I am having problems getting my netbook running PuTTY to connect. How would I go about finding the Host Name and Port to connect to?

I am having problems connecting to my Fedora machine wirelessly. What i mean is that if i try to access samba \192.168.1.93 rb while connected to my wireless network i can't connect.The only way I can connect to this machine is if i connect my laptop directly into the router then i can successfully connect.Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The strange this is i used to could connect wirelessly.

I am used to using Ubuntu Desktop edition (Lucid Lynx to be exact), so I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition for my little Acer Aspire One. One problem though. The places menu isn't there anymore.
How do I connect to a windows machine share? I tried searching the forums, but they all mention using Places > Connect To Server.

I have two machines in different location, lets say machine A and machine B.
Machine A:
- Linux Red Hat OS.
- Has internet connection (no proxy).
- Has public IP.
Machine B:
- Windows XP OS.
- Has internet connection (with HTTP proxy).
- Has connection to machine C and machine D. Machine C and D don't have internet connection, but machine B can connect to those machines because machine B, C, and D are located in the same network.
I need to connect machine C and D via machine A. I heard it can be done using ssh between A and B, but I don't know the details.

I was looking for good way to remote login into my computer. VNC wasn't good because it causes problem to run before logging into gnome. XRDP haven't got such problems, BUT i can login only once. I mean, that after rebooting computer and login remotely via rdp, and logging off on remote session, i cannot log in again. Client application stucks on message "sending info to sesman".

At school can connect to my computer via SMB/Samba and VNC from the Windows Machines, but not by hostname (I still cannot VNC in at home on my desktop computer and have yet to try Samba there because I wanna setup Samba there from the comfort of my laptop and therefore need VNC first). How come I cannot access this machine by it's hostname?

I can't connect a printer to my machine that's running Ubuntu 10.04 because it's outdated; however, I have another computer (Mac) that has a printer attached to it. Does anyone know how I can connect to that computer form my Ubuntu machine and send over documents to be printed on my Mac? Maybe through a remote desktop? Or SSL?

I recently installed the XRDP server on my desktop edition of Ubuntu v10.04 following the simple instructions available here. I did this on two computers. One computer has Firestarter installed while the other does not.
When I use Windows to connect to the Ubuntu box without Firestarter, everything works just fine. However, when I try to connect to the one running Firestarter, I get a pop up showing an error message (see the attached file).
I checked the incoming rules in Firestarter and I don't see a way to add RDP sessions to the list of exceptions. I also tried adding my IP address in the host section but this too didn't help the situation.

I followed mjmwired's setup instructions of samba and it WAS working. Saw the share and the printer on the linux box. Move files from the linux machine to Vista machine without problems. I can get the share on my linux box using the linux machine.
I can not not search or connect to a share on the Vista machine from the Linux machine.It seems like there is something that has changed on the Vista machine.

I am helping a local genealogy society set up their research center. They want three workstations and a single data server. The genealogy program of choice was GRAMPS, which I have used for years a Wonderful program! No data is going to be input on the workstations the users are simply researching existing data on the server.
Since several RDP-based Wyse thin client units were available for free as were monitors and keyboards, the decision was quickly made to use an RDP based client/server system. Using VNC was unacceptable due to its speed and latency issues, plus, it isn't supported by the Wyse thin client units ONLY RDP and Cytrix.
Using Microsoft's server OS and Terminal Server package was far, far beyond the society's budget. We briefly considered equipping a Windows XP box with a copy ThinSoft's RDP server package, WinConnect Server XP, but its $300 price tag was still too much for the society.
The decision was to use Linux for the server. At first we considered LTSP but it is oriented towards PXE net boots and, while this may have worked, its complexity scared us off and we opted for what, we initially thought, was a much simpler solution XRDP.
We were right and wrong at the same time. It is simple to set up very simple, but the lack of documentation places many pitfalls in front of you, PLUS the solution is distribution dependent.
I spent many hours on this issue. There are numerous sources on the web citing solutions to running XRDP. Unfortunately, they all involve running vncserver against the destination logins. This is NOT what we desired. We wanted to be able to boot up the host system but not login at all, yet still be able to connect to a session via RDP.
I tried numerous distributions and eventually spending a lot of time going through the xrdp source code and planting out my own debug messages in /etc/xrdp/startsm.sh to output to a file in /tmp. Putting in ps -eS >> /tmp/xrdp.txt was particularly useful because it showed that xrdp/sesman DID launch an Xvnc, meaning that it was unnecessary to pre-launch vncserver, as most pundits recommend. The solution was figuring out how to connect to the Xvnc session created by sesman.
I discovered the solution somewhat by accident. It seems that the files created in the destination user's .vnc folder by vncserver were interfering with xrdp/sesman. Here is what worked. 1.Starting with a nearly virgin install of Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1, installed two users intended to be accessed for remote login via RDP. That is ALL that I did I never even logged into them. 2.My first entry xrdp.ini was unmodified except that ask was deleted from username=. Everything was unmodified.
3.Using tsclient on another machine, with the desired username, that was NOT logged in, and password pre-filled, I connected and received a nice Gnome desktop. 4.The session was on 5910. 5.While keeping this session active, I logged into the next login created for remote access and received my second nice Gnome sesktop on port 5911 automatically. Xrdp-sesman DOES automatically launch Xvnc in a useful way!
I can ONLY get this to work on Ubuntu version 10.04 e/w Gnome. It fails on CentOS 5.2, Xubuntu 9.10, SuperOS 9.10 and Lubuntu 10.04. In all cases xrdp was version 4.1.1, so the issue is not with xrdp/sesman it lies within the OS what, I do not know. I did not test KDE at all.
Code:
The system is running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS beta - the Lucid Lynx, amd64:
uname -a
Linux ubu910 2.6.32-16-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 9 16:33:12 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Contents of /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini:

I've set up a PC installed with Ubuntu 11.04 on my home network, given it the name "server" and given it a static IP of 192.168.1.200. I've created a file in the home directory called "Public" and set it to be shared with everyone, basically a chmod 0777 situation. Now, how do I connect, or map out that folder from another ubuntu 11.04 machine? I know how to do it in Windows, just hit "run" and type in "\server" and blamo, I can see everything that's shared on that machine. I can't figure out how to do this with Ubuntu.

I remember it being really easy to add a printer attached to another computer using Ubuntu, but I don't remember exactly what made it so easy. All I know is that now that I have switched to Kubuntu the process has become much harder because now I have to find out some special locations, numbers etc. for it to connect to the printer. It's connected to a Windows XP machine on the other side of the house.
It says alot about 'contacting the network administrator' if I am unsure about what to put in. But I am more or less the network administrator. how to find out what numbers to put in so that my Linux machine can connect and print to the Windows machine? Or maybe someone knows a few commands to share? I go to Applications > Settings > System settings, Printer configuration, New Printer, New Network printer, and then there are a few options but I don't know which one to choose. Windows Printer via Samba, I guess? Then in the box that says smb://[enter stuff here] I need to put in info but I don't know how to find that info.

I try to access my ubuntu machine via my Windows Machine (Samba Server on Ubuntu Machine). Anytime I try to access the machine it asks me for my password...I enter it but it says it is invalid....is there anyway to reset it? I have already tried to remove and purge everything Samba related and then tried reinstalling, but that still didn't do anything

I have an ubuntu kk laptop connected via wireless to my mixed network (xp, win7, other ubuntu), but i can not ping said machine or connect via ssh. Internet and smb-browsing ON this machine work, as does pinging FROM it. If this was a windows machine, I'd say a firewall is in the way, but since it's a vanilla karmic install, this should not be the case (or should it?).

It seems whenever i create a folder it creates the folder as untitled folder, but i can't change the folder name it just says "you don't have permission to rename item" but yet i created the folder and it is there. One thing i have noticed is that once i enter a folder it won't even let me move the folder.

I have ubuntu-8.04.1-server installed on virtual machine. It works perfect. Now, I made copy of this virtual machine. I started that copied machine and it works fine, except one thing: network does not work!
I have several others VMs with freeBSD, openBSD or Windows on it, but only ubuntu machine hes network problem after coping. I tried some other VM with ubuntu on it - same problem! I downloaded VM with ubuntu - same problem.I take a look into /etc/network/interfaces file and it looks just as it should (same as before coping) but ifconfig command returns parameters for lo only (before coping there was eth0 and lo).

I have an issue with the manner in which Network Manager is configuring the network and short of ditching Network Manager I can see no solution.The issue : Getting a machine to update its machine name in the DNS serverSounds simple doesn't it I operate a FreeBSD based firewall / DHCP / DNS server, using a default Network Manager DHCP configuration the Fedora clients do not register their names with the DNS server when they obtain an address.
I have traced the communications with Wireshark and the Fedora clients are NOT supplying the PC's hostname as part of the exchange so this is NOT a DNS server configuration issue. If I uncheck the option 'Automatically obtain DNS information from provider' under the DHCP settings the Fedora clients DO register the hostname that is put into the Hostname (optional) databox. They do NOT however store the DNS server IP address or any other records defined by the DNS server.
Is there some hidden settings or is this a bug because it isn't acceptable 'DHCP' behaviour if it isn't possible to automatically set DNS server IP addresses and at the same time register the hostname during the DHCP negotiation. Before it is said I know I can use a fixed DNS IP address but am not prepared to long term, I am also not prepared to define the Fedora clients with a 'static' IP. I am similarly not interested in playing around with scripts or any other such 'frigs' to achieve what should be a standard activity - registering a host with DNS during the DHCP negotiation.

I am trying to establish the easiest way to share a folder from an Ubuntu machine to a Windows machine.In the past I have added things to smb.conf and that has all worked fine but what I am trying to do is to figure out what the "new user" way of doing this is so that when I am helping other people I know I am getting them to do the simplest thing.I completely removed samba and reinstalled it so that I didn't have any configuration. Right clicked on a folder and selected "Sharing Options" ticked the "Share this folder box" gave it a name and a comment and ticked the other two boxes.
When I went to the windows laptop then it kept asking for a username/password and nothing worked.Back on the ubuntu machine I did sudo smbpasswd -a [username] and created a blank password. Now from the windows machine I can access the shared folder.Is the smbpasswd step still required? It's very confusing for a new user as there is no suggestion that anything other than right clicking on the folder and choosing the options you want would be required. Is it something to do with the fact that this is an ubuntu machine that has gradually been upgraded through versions and this problem wouldn't have been there from a new install?

I need to access a Windows Server 2000 machine using a Linux machine via KDE, but that will migrate to Gnome. The Linux user to connect to Windows machine, you should open an application 'XYZ' automatically, and only this, denying any unauthorized access. When you close the application 'XYZ' communications (RDP?) Should be terminated. Do I need a log of accesses and possible attempts to circumvent the system and access other application.
