OpenSUSE Network :: Keep The Server Awake Remotely?
May 23, 2010
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 have an old Acer laptop that I am trying to use as a server for Vortexbox (Fedora distro that turns computer into a media server for use with DLNAh Squeezeboxes).Randomly the laptop will go into standby mode and I cannot figure out why. It's very annoying since when the laptop goes to standby the server goes down and all my boxes disconnect. Everything reconnects when I simply press a key on the laptop and it wakes up and the screen turns back on.Here's what I've tried:I've tried checking the BIOS for power management settings and there are none.
I think my CMOS battery is fried since the time keeps drifting. I tried to replace it but could not get to the battery (either through the keyboard or the back of the laptop) so I put in a cron.hourly script that would fix the time every hour and it's keeping things on point in terms of the time but the sleep issues are still there (of note the script does not run when the laptop is sleeping). This is my first script eveo I'm a big newbie...The laptop battery is nonfunctional (I leave it plugged in all the time anyway). Not sure if that has anything to do with it.I installed FreeNX and NoMachine for remote desktop to Gnome. When I have a remote desktop session open on another computer it SEEMS to last longer between sleeping.I tried reading about ACPI and sleepstates and I'm totally lost. I downloaded some thing called ACPItool and ran it to get the following output:
[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# acpitool -e Kernel version : 2.6.30.10-105.220090320 - ACPI version : 20090320 Battery #1 : present
I have a problem with one of my new OpenSuse installation. I install ntop on this machine so the port 3000 become open, but when i want to use it on a other pc, it cannot see the open port. I really don't understand why i cannot access this port.
I disabled firewall to make sure everything pass.
Here my ntop on my localhost
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.07 seconds
Here my ntop from another host
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.07 seconds
This issue was prompted by Groupwise MTA not communicating with a Post Office that I had migrated to our first Linux box. I found out why, because I cannot communicate with it at all, other than through ethernet. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've checked the firewall and opened up all the ports that I'm trying to communicate on.ve made sure Apache is loaded
I have installed Debian a few days ago and when I close my laptop, it goes to suspend, everything is ok but when I try to awake the screen remains off.
I am using Asus X51RL laptop (made in 2007) and it is NOT a hardware problem, suspend works fine in Windows.
I have MS BT notebook mouse 5000 which connects and works fine with my FC13 till the mouse goes to sleep after 10-15min. Then it does not reconnects/awakes. Using kbluetooth, I press 'connect', it shows 'connected' and then in 1-2s disconnected again.No other action, except removing the mouse from the list and repairing from the beginning I found in the net this problem some 2 years ago was corrected and was working
I have a machine with several IP addresses with eth devices like eth0, eth0:1, eth0:2, eth0:3. Can I restart only eth0 without bringing down eth0:1? It would be really convenient to be able to log in via SSH on eth0:1 and restart eth0 without locking myself out or not being able to bring the network back up.
If I stop eth0, will that automatically stop all the others?
I administrate a network with approximately 140 PCs. They all have Ubuntu and I want to be able to turn them on and shut them off remotely from one of the servers. So can you tell me what is the best way to do this ? A shell script would be a nice option if its possible.
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!
Is there a command to remotely shutdown a computer on the local network? I have a computer running as a file/print server and I have no screen or keyboard connected to it. Would be great if I could shut it down from my laptop. I have the needed credentials (as I'm guessing these would be needed in the command?)
I'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.
Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.
What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication
Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").
So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.
I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.
I have openSUSE 11.2 installed and i need to create a gateway server that allows virtual private network connections. I want to play with my friends some lan games, but we are in different networks, so i want to create this gateway server so we can connect with VPN clients to this server and play freely.
I have an opensuse 11.3 install which I want to set up as a network boot server to install Solaris 10 on a Sun Ultra 10 client. According to what I've read, this requires rarpd and tftpd which I've set up on opensuse, but also bootparamd which I can't find for 11.3. It seems it was last included with opensuse 9.2. Does anyone know if it's available, if I could use the suse 9.2 version, or any alternative?
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.
I am trying to network a drive which is a USB drive. The directory is /media/My Book and I am at a loss on how to network it properly. From my laptop that has linux mint, I click on network and I see SFTP File Transfer on linux-8m03 but it can never seem to mount.
I want to access linux server remotely from windows. I precisely dont need GUI. Just want to work with vim editor. currently I am using ssh software and xmanger software.Running ssh software dosen't give the feel and speed. However xmanager is fine to work. Can somebody suggest me from where i can get free latest xmanager software or better then it.
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?
When I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on my server, at some point, I gave the server a description. Whenever I connect to any of the shares on the server, this description appears. For example, on one Windows workstation, there is a share which appears in Windows Explorer as "Midwest on 'Cincinnati Corporate ISS Server (ISS0042)' (T:)".
For the life of me, I cannot find where this description, "Cincinnati Corporate ISS Server", is stored. I've search through /etc, and poked around ad nauseum in YAST, but I am missing it. Where is this description stored? What is the YAST function to change it?
Over the past couple of years i have been converting other users (family members that I have to provide technical support to ) from windows to opensuse.Needless to say, my job is much easier now. Is there some application that I can install on the supported computers where I can remotely log in and control, make configuration changes, update, and fix dumb problems... when they come up?
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.
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?
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?
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
