Ubuntu :: More Reliable RDP Protocol Other Than XRDP
Jun 23, 2010
I installed ubuntu server 10.04 32-bit and I installed XRDP so I can connect to it using RDP sessions. I was wondering if there is a better alternative to it. I have the following issues with it: 1. When I connect to the server locally using rdp it works just fine the first time. Then when I close the session I cannot connect to it again (it says connection timed out). Then if I uninstall then reinstall it will work again for another time then do the same thing. 2. I receive a protocol error when using Windows 7 or RDP version 6.1.7600 (Newest RDP version)

I use Skype on my computer at work for IMs, I don't even try to use it for voice or video calls, but I constantly have problems with it.It seems like what's happening is a backend part of the program keeps freezing. The UI is responsive, but I'll notice when I try to send messages, I'll get a 'caution' icon next to them with a tooltip reading "Your message has not been delivered". If I try to quit Skype, it hangs and I have to kill -9 it.So my question is, is there a more reliable way to use Skype in Ubuntu, maybe a different program than the official Skype client? Remember, I only care about text chat.

Since a few days all of my computers (3) running Ubuntu 9.10 report on startup that my external drive has "lots of bad sectors".I have checked this disk on Windows XP with chkdsk and with the SeaTools diagnostic tool dowloaded from Seagate. Both report no problems.Does anyone else suspect these Ubuntu "bad sector" warnings are unreliable?

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".

While connecting over Xrdp, hitting the "D" key alone hides all my windows and shows the desktop. This is problematic since I often wish to type words containing at least one "D" in it. In case anyone else is having this problem, I've wrestled through it and offer this help.I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meercat and connecting via Xrdp. I only have this problem when connecting remotely.
APPARENT CAUSEI don't pretend to know for sure, but the problem appears to be that the remote connection is flubbing Metacity's "<Super>d" binding for the "show desktop" command. More precisely, the string "<Super>" doesn't appear to be functioning for me. If I change <Super> to <Ctrl>, I can use Ctrl + D to show desktop, and I can then type the letter D without it hiding every window from me.
Further evidence <Super> isn't working for me, if I change Metacity's "panel_run_dialog" global key binding from "<Alt>F2" to "<Super>F2" I bring up the run dialog by hitting F2 alone.
WORKAROUNDChange the system's "show desktop" keystroke. Here are the steps.
1) Alt+F2
2) gconf-editor
3) /->app->metacity->global_keybindings
4) Change the assigned keystroke for show_desktop from "<Super>d" to "<Ctrl>d" or "<Ctrl><Alt>d" or "disabled"
If someone finds this worthy of submitting a bug ticket, please let me know so I can follow it.

I am trying to enable rdp server on my ubuntu machine. I installed xrdp using apt-get, but when I try to connect (setting protocol to sesman-X11rdp) it authenticates, but dies with the error "only supporting 8 and 16 bpp rdp connections".

I'm wanting to create a one-time snapshot archive of all my data in case something catastrophic ever happens to my main hard drive and my backup drive. I should add that I update my main backup regularly, which means that I wouldn't notice any creeping data corruption problems until it's too late...which is another reason a one-time snapshot is so important.Since I'm archiving a snapshot of all of my data at once, only a hard drive is big enough to handle the job. (I'll copy a small fraction - the truly 100% irreplaceable stuff - to DVD-R's too, but that doesn't mean I particularly want to lose any of the other stuff either.) Unfortunately, this means my storage medium doesn't inherently have any CRC's, error correction/redundancy bits, etc. built into it like data DVD's might.
So: What archive format would you suggest using for maximum reliability and resistance to corruption?My main concern is making sure that I can still open the archive and extract surviving files even if some of the bits (or the entirety of other files) go corrupt. This is my last-ditch fallback archive, so if I ever need to use it, I really, really don't want to get a message saying the archive is corrupt and cannot be opened at all! Because of that, it's important that the individual files and folders are compressed separately from each other...if at all. I don't care about the compression ratio, and I'd even be happy if the archive was 150% the size of my data thanks to a gigantic recovery record. I also care about CRC's and such, since I'll want to know which files/folders/etc. are corrupt vs. which ones are still intact.

Since all what I can find on google is about benchmarks I'd like to ask you if a 64 bit kernel would be more stable , secure and reliable than a 32 bit one.
I ask this question because apparently the 64 bit instruction set offers more advanced security features (i'm saying apparently because I'm not able to give details since it been a really fast read) which would be used by a 64 bit Operating System (Apple also stated that 64 bit applications are less likely to be "attacked").
I have to assume that a 32 bit one does not use them right? Should I stick to 64 bit? (to be honest that "not for everyday" thing on ubuntu download pages made me wonder lol, because since intrepid i ALWAYS used the 64 bit version)
My "lowest" computer has a pentium processor (1,6 ghz dual core) according to lshw I have NX enabled and my ram is 2GB (might seem useless using a 64bit kernel on 2 GB but i'm more concerned about security now)

I have a dual booth system (ubuntu (64 bit) and windows 7 (also 64))... In both systems I have trouble with my wifi:Sometimes it works for a few hours without trouble and then I stops working every 10/15 seconds after reconnecting. In windows it keeps on reconnecting, but in ubuntu sometimes also the wifi logo/picture disappears from my panel, so I can't start wifi again or see it's status.

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've recently setup XRDP on my Ubuntu Workstation (11.04, Gnome). XRDP works just fine when I have it set to the default RDP port (TCP 3389) or customly set to a higher port number (i.e. TCP 7432). I've noticed when I try to change it to a lower-numbered port (i.e. TCP 110), the XRDP process dies. The XRDP-sesman process remains functional. Does anyone have any insight why this may be the case?
My only consideration would be to step through the source code and make a (hopefully) minor modification and re-compile.

I have a configuration file for a network device(2100 lines). This device is configurable only over console line. If I copy chunks of those lines into terminal(I use minicom), there will be mistakes (sometimes some characters missing, space characters added etc). Hardware flow control and software flow control doesn't help either. I tried with cu utility, but same issues appeared. There will be mistakes even if I copy in ~100 line parts. What causes those missing/added characters? How to avoid those?

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.

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

I am looking for a Backup Tool running well on Fedora 12. GUI or command line are both fine but it should be easy to use yet transparent in case of an error. Also not only creating but using it to restore the system should be easy to do. I would like to save on a different partition AND burn it on DVD and it should be as small as possible.

I have been running a fedora server without issues for many years and recently updated to FC12. It turned out that there is a bug in OpenSSL in FC12 that caused me a lot of problems and I had to build apache, mod_ssl and OpenSSL from source to get it working.I'm now looking at migrating to another distribution becasue Fedora is not appropriate for a production server environment in a growing company.
What I want to know is what is the most reliable distribution with regards automatic updates (bug free that is)? I'm comparing RedHat, Ubuntu LTS, Debian, etc. at the moment. Is there any report that looks at this topic?I'd expect RedHat would have the best, but I also have to take cost into account as it is the only platform that you have to pay for these updates.I read this but it seems to quickly move away from the "bug-free" question initially asked.
