Networking :: Remotely Login Using SSH And Vino-Server?
Nov 21, 2008
I usually remotely connect to a client server to make adjustment via the CLI.Occasionally I have to login into the desktop to understand some issues that my customer are trying to explain via Vino-Server. I have notice that sometimes when I attempt to login via ssh, I sometimes can see that a user has not logged into the GUI desktop which means that I cannot login into the remote desktop session to resolve any issues via the GUI. My question is:How can I remotely login via ssh and start a gnome or kde session for the user account that I am trying to resolve his or her issue?
I'm not terribly new to Linux, but I am new to the forums, so hear me out! I am in the process of creating an electronic mapwall for our meteorology program, and have designed the computing system from scratch. I have two Linux Boxes, each with capabilities for 6 attached monitors...a total of 12 displays driven from two machines. My intention is to have one machine be the master...it has a touchpanel control. The inputs to the touchpanel will then trigger events for the both the master and the slave machine to display. Each of them has a specific IP address (DNS entry), and are not on a subnet.
Now...is there a way to remotely login to the slave machine and have it display on it's OWN monitors? The code is Java and which works on the master machine to animate directories of .gifs for each of the master's attached monitors. I will most likely have Java execute shell commands for the remote login (ssh), but I believe the answer lies somewhere in the X-configuration. Do I have the machines in an adverse configuration (creation of a subnet would be better)? Lots of questions...lots of desire...few answers!

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.
I installed CentOS 5.2 and then run yum update. I configured this server as LDAP/Samba primary domain controller. LDAP seems to be OK and for testing I am able to create users with:smbldap-tools useradd -am usernameI can ssh into the server as root and also as a Linux user which was locally created in the server. But ssh into the server as LDAP user fails (from a Fedora 11 machine) with "Permission denied, please try again", prompting again for password.Some data:
*Solved* I have been reading the following guide on how to use the VNC programs and a GUI to connect to my main machine from my laptop via my LAN and router:
[URL]
This allows me to control the server remotely, and run applications on the server remotely, with the GUI output being shown on my laptop, which is really neat I had Eclipse + PDT running on my server and had to stop it and start a new instance remotely from the laptop via VNC viewer, as Eclipse said the workspace I wanted to use was already in use.
So starting the VNC server on the main machine does not allow me to access the programs that are already running on the main machine under the native X server. However I can now do PHP debugging remotely using Eclipse + PDT now, and all the PHP source code is on the server machine. That's OK, but I would like to do more than that. I want to be able to connect to the native X server on my main machine, and control all the applications running on the main machine remotely from my laptop, without having to shut them down and restart them again via a VNC viewer.
Is there some sort of remote control program I can use to allow me to connect to the running X server on my main machine from my laptop, and control those applications remotely please, so the desktop layout on the main machine's screen is mirrored on the laptop screen?
I succeeded in setting up a vnc server on a fedpra9 tested it locally and it was successfully connected but no connection done from other machine in the network , even though they can see each othervnc server is pingable se linux is disabled
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday on a headless home server. I use the server for a variety of purposes, and what I don't know how to do via SSH I've alway been able to do through VNC. However, since the upgrade vino-server will no longer run if there isn't a monitor attached. Before it used to start up without a problem. Even by attempting to run the server via SSH gives me a "could not load display" error. Summary: I need to get vino-server running at boot time on a server with Ubuntu 10.04, without a monitor attached.
Tried turning firewall off, i tried port forwarding tcp port 22, but it still doesn't work. Also am unable to ping modem over WAN, i can ping the modem locally though. Tech support claims pinging and ssh is not part of the internet so they wont support it in any way.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on an older desktop and when I first installed Ubuntu I set up Remote Desktop Vino services and was able to connect just fine with my Windows XP, Windows 7, Leopard, Snow Leopard PCs and my iPhone using VNC all just fine. So I apply updates to my Linux box and now it's broken. I can not remote into my Ubuntu machine at all now. So something with the updates is broken. I don't really use my Ubuntu machine at all, all it is used for is for a dedicated Folding@Home server. I attached a screenshot as what my Remote Desktop settings look like.
I am running NFS and NIS servers in my FC8. Clients are also running FC8. Everything was working fine. I could login remotely to server as well as clients. Suddenly (few days ago) a problem started. I can not login remotely to client machines. I did not do anything. I can login to server remotely, but not the client. When I try to login, it accept password and nothing happens. Also, when I try to login from server to client same thing happens. We share the home directory of the server with client. Another question: there two type of nfs server nfs-user-server and nfs-kernel-server. I just use gui to set up the NFS. I don't know which one I am running. Is there any way to find out which nfs I am running?
I'm having issues with my SSH server.The server is running on a Slackware 13.37 machine, using the default SSH server software, which I believe is OpenSSH.On my Windows machine, I've tried connecting to my Slackware machine but can only do so using the external IP, not the LAN IP, instead I get a "Connection Refused" error using PuTTy. I've forwarded port 22 for both UDP and TCP packets to my Slackware machine.I don't really know what information you need so just ask me and I'll respond to the best of my abilities.

If I can remotely reboot a server using SSH over CGI? I configure the client and server with keys to make ssh without password, and, on the terminal i can make "ssh root@server_ip reboot" and it reboot normally, but, I don't know how to do this on a CGI?
I try to use fedora 11 as my home server. The server should be remotely managed by VNC. A normal VNC-setup does not allow to log into the login screen, but that is what I need !! Notice that I would like to maintain the sever using the normal gnome gui. I have been investigating lots of options to get VNC running this way, have been searching all over, but did not find any working solution. All solutions I found where based on XVNC which is not available for fedora 11 as far as I know.
Small home network consisting of a media server(headless, no monitor/keyboard/mouse)running OpenSuse 11.0, and 3 Windows clients running Vista. I don't need the server running 24/7 so I have it set to Suspend to Ram after 60 minutes, which works great. I have a WOL program on each client which works perfectly to wake up the server.
However, there are times when the server "sleeps" while I'm still using it. I can be downloading to the server, playing music, or whatever-doesn't really matter-and when the 60 minutes is up, it sleeps. What I need is some solution that will keep the server awake if I'm actually using it but let it sleep after the specified period of inactivity. My first thought was using Ethtool to wake it network activity directed at the server, but I've tried all the ethtool options and can't make it work right. Either it wakes on any network activity whatsoever, (which means it never sleeps) or doesn't wake at all.
i am wanting to install ubunru server edition on an older sony vio desktop to use as a server i can access remotely. i will be needing to however access this server remotely from a college i attend throughout parts of the year.
Our servers use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Tikanga). I would like to remote into the server to install PHP, Apache, MySQL.How can I do that from Windows?How can I do that from Linux? Which Linux distribution is the best for this purpose?
suddenly ,I get a project to shutdown all xp's by a Linux server(RHEL5) using a single command.by net command i did that.but in this case i have to specify all the ip addresses manually .Is there any way that Linux server obtain the ip addresses automatically on a network and then shut down all the pc's

I have installed apache on slackware (I was isntalled slackware without apache) and "It Works" but when I try to access it remotely it returns "404 error". Apache server work pretty well localy either for localhost or IP adress.
I have a fresh fedora 13 install, I managed to browse and setup my phpadmin.....and browse everthing locally. I can not browse the web site from any other machine in my network. All my machines get their IPs from my dhcp (192.168.1.0).I googled and read a thread in this forum, I understood it might be due to SELINUX. I disabled it, rebooted, still have the same behavior, browse my apache locally but not from other machines. I did a telnet from one of my machines using the IP as followstelnet 192.168.1.11 80got the following onnecting To 192.168.1.11...Could not open connection to the host, on port 80: Connect failed.I checked error-log and access_log file, found no hint. I think it should be something related to some fedora systemor firewall or selinux config that is not allowing access to it.
