Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sony FP - No Display But Desktop Accessible Via Remote Desktop?

Mar 18, 2010

I'm working on getting my myth box hooked up to my Sony flat panel display.Originally the nvidia drivers could not read the EID, so defaulted to only 640x480 over my HDMI-DVI connection.I manually updated xorg.conf with a mode for the resolution I know the thing can handle. Suddenly there are several resolutions avaialble in nvidia-settings and it seems to be communicating with the TV, as it is now listed as a Sony FP display rather than a CRT.I'm able to change the resolution now as expected.my problem, however, lies with the TV itself. I can't seem to get it to actually display the output. I'm able to remote desktop into the box and can see Gnome logged in and everything.However nothing on the TV itself.How do I troubleshoot this? Am I missing something obvious?

Fedora Networking :: Remote Desktop Display Corruption ?

Jun 23, 2009

This is a strange problem, 2 Fedora 11 machines, both Dell's. On machine A, remote desktop is okay. On Machine B, remote desktop display is corrupt/unusable.

However, prior to upgrading to Fedora 11, both machines had Fedora 10, and, remote desktop on Machine A was corrupt and Machine B was okay.

Any idea what happened? Why did the upgrade fix one and break the other? Both machines where upgraded with Pre-upgrade. The two machines are in to separate locations, un-related to each other.

Ubuntu Networking :: Use Remote Desktop Viewer To See The Desktop On A Windows XP Machine?

Nov 20, 2010

I have my main box, Ubuntu 10.04lts, and I am trying to use remote desktop viewer to see the desktop on a Windows XP machine. The machines are side by side The Ubuntu box is hardwired to my network router, and the XP machine is connected via wireless. Both get to the internet fine, and I can ping the Ubuntu box from the XP box. But, I cannot ping the XP box from the Ubuntu box, and Remote Desktop Viewer won't establish a connection to the VNC server I have running on the XP box.

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Without Opening New Desktop Session

Nov 25, 2010

I am using 2 PCs, both running ubuntu. I want to connect via remote desktop (vnc, ssh -X, etc) form one to the other. However, what the solutions I found until now offer me, is the possibility to create a new desktop session and view that one (or run an application an view that one). I have an application running on the server, and I want to see that application, without needing to restart it or running it again in a new desktop. Is this possible?

Ubuntu :: Minimal Desktop Install And Remote Desktop

Apr 8, 2011

I am trying to setup my HTPC. I wanted to have the most minimal overhead possible so I installed Ubuntu 10.10 server from the mini.iso and just added the ssh option. I then used the following command to give me a desktop environment because I will want to run firefox and it apparently requires this to run.

Here is the command that I ran:apt-get install xorg gnome-core gdm gnome-applets gnome-system-tools gnome-utils ubuntu-artwork compiz-gnome firefox sysv-rc-conf.The desktop works fine and I can open fire fox, however, the remote desktop is missing from the preferences menu.How can I install this? I would like to add the remote desktop option from a command line.

Ubuntu :: Login Through Remote Desktop And Show Same Desktop

Jul 19, 2011

I have set up a server running ubuntu desktop, and I'm able to logon through remote desktop (win 7). The problem is that if I logon from computer 1 and open some programs, I don't see these programs when I logon from computer 2.I logon with the same user, so I find this strange. Is there some setting I have missed to be able to see the same from any computer (logon through remote desktop).

Software :: Remote Desktop And Multiple Desktop Windows

Dec 14, 2009

I have VMware server installed on this machine. I also have a Windows XP VM running all the time. I have it bridged so it gets a valid IP from my router and such and is in my network. I use KRDC to remote desktop to it and I make it full screen. However if I want to go back to my desktop I have to minimize KRDC.

Is there a RPD client out there I can use so I can go full screen on 1 desktop and have everything else on another desktop then use KDE's Desktop switcher or ctrl+alt+arrow keys to switch between desktops to flip between Windows XP and Linux without having to minimize?

Debian Multimedia :: Remote Desktop With GNOME

Aug 24, 2015

I just installed Debian 8 and ran vnc4server. I want to get Gnome on a client computer so I read some threads on the internet telling me to edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup file, which I did. Unfortunately I've tried multiple edits of this file and I cannot get it to work properly. Any working script of what it should look like for the latest stable version of Debian?

OpenSUSE :: Display A Different Desktop Background For Each Desktop?

May 23, 2011

How do I get it to display a different desktop background for each desktop? I'm sure I saw this option somewhere, but I can't find it again.

Secondly, it defaults with 4 desktops in a 2X2 grid layout. I changed it to 2, then back to 4 and now it has 4 desktops in a linear layout (1x4). How can I change it back to 2X2?

Debian Multimedia :: Remote Desktop Configuration Files

May 14, 2010

If i got gnome i may go to the top-panel: choose system, choose preferences and go to "remote desktop" and make my settings (allow, ask for allow, password, and other stuff). I don't want to be bound to gnome (though i like it, thats not the problem).Which config-files are the ones i am looking for?

I did search the web, but i can't find useful how-to's, explanations, etc.Cause what i find is related to the path i described above (gnome: top-panel, preferences...)Which is the app/tool which pops up and says:"someone wants to access, you want to allow it, yes or no?". The performance of VNC is lousy comopared to NX. Lousy is the friendly version. What might i be doing wrong?i usually do it from a Debian-host to a VirtualBox-guest.I am mainly asking for how-to's/docus and stuff like that. Links. Explanations are welcome too. Of course.

I'm having an issue that everytime I remote desktop to it via VNC it ask for the default keyring password, but how am I supposed to enter this if I'm not by the computer that I'm trying to remotly access? Can gnome keying be disabbled altogether? Never had this issue with Debian 5.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Setting-up System As Remote Desktop To Feed House-wide Audio?

Apr 26, 2010

We're in the final process of building a home, and I had them setup a wiring box where all the coax and cat5 terminates into one closet, which will also house my server. Once we get moved in I'd also like to add speakers in each room to have house-wide music, and ideally I'd like the audio to also run into this box with the master input coming from the server as well.My thought was to setup the server with some basic desktop manager like Fluxbox and use that to drive audio throughout the house, whether it be Pandora, Sirius Radio, or whatever. Since the server will be headless I'll need it setup so we can remote into it from our laptops, but I wasn't sure if VNC or some other RDP variant would work. Ideally we'll need to access a unified desktop so traditional terminal services where each users gets their own desktop might not be ideal

Software :: Loading Any Distro On A Sony Vaio Desktop?

I have a Sony Vaio , desktop Model# PCV-2252 . I have tried to load

They all get so far and won't load anymore. Puppy gets to the Keyboard selection, but won't let you choose one. Most of the others get quite a ways thru the process (all the text on the screen) and then just stop. Have used the same discs on other computers and know they work. Apparently others have this problem with Sonys

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Login To Gdm After Remote Restart

Feb 6, 2011

I maintain plain vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 systems for several friends. Each machine has only one user, the owner. I use Remote Desktop to instruct and to perform maintenance. Here's my problem:After updating the system, if the kernel has changed, a restart is needed. If I do a restart, I then have to phone the owner to insert his login credentials in the gdm login screen, before I can do anything else via Remote Desktop on that machine.There ought to be a simple way I can avoid the phone call and login myself.

I'd strongly prefer not to use any software that is not included in a plain vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 installation. And I don't want to weaken system security beyond what it is now.Is there a solution? Or, what is the simplest solution?

Ubuntu Networking :: Remote Desktop Access "Your Desktop Is Only Reachable Over The Local Network. Others Can Access Your Computer Using The Address 127.0.0.1 Or Tabatha.local"

Feb 19, 2010

Running Ubuntu 9.10. In the Remote Desktop config dialog I get: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 127.0.0.1 or tabatha.local." I understand this means only the loopback ip address is available. All my other machines show their true local ip address (e.g., 192.168.1.104) in this dialog. Thus I cannot log on to this desktop from other machines.

When I try to do a remote logon from another Ubuntu 9.10 box (or from an XP box using a VNC viewer), I get: "Connection to 192.168.1.102 has been closed." What steps are needed to make this machine show its actual ip address? All file sharing between the various machines is working properly and all windows shares back and forth between XP and 'nix, and among the the vaious XP boxes and linux boxes are available as designed.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Install Ubuntu On A Sony Vaio Desktop

Feb 9, 2011

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a Sony Vaio RX456DS Desktop (2001 vintage) which currently has Windows ME installed. As far as I can see, the Ubuntu disk is sound and the PC boots up from it. However, the initial screen looks very plain (no colours, text badly placed, not at all like the Welcome screen I expected) and if I select "Install" or "Try", I get a Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen with 5 small red dots that progress from left to right, and then repeat this. Nothing else happens, even after a long time. Also, the initial screen has two more options - "Check the disc" and "Test the Memory" (or something similar). Can anyone suggest what, if anything, I should try now?

Ubuntu :: Can't Remote Desktop From 10.04 To 10.04?

Oct 21, 2010

I have 2 ubuntu machines. I used to use the ubuntu's remote desktop program to work remotely from home on my office box, but since I installed 10.04 it remotes in ok but nothing gets changed on the screen when I click. I see the mouse move fine. If I click on something and then drive to the office I see the remote screen was in fact clicked on with random windows open, depending on what i was clicking on. Why is the screen not refreshing?

Ubuntu :: SSH Into Desktop On Remote Network

Jan 21, 2010

I've run into a bit of a problem with an attempt to remotely admin a friend's computer. Here's the basic layout:

--My Ubuntu is connected via wireless router, port 22 forwarded properly. I can ssh in and out as I please to other hosts.
--Across the internet, their Eeebuntu is behind a router as well. Port 22 may or may not be properly forwarded. Nobody in that house really knows how to access their router. (I accept this may be an issue I'll need to handle)

What I'd like to do:First priority, ssh access to the remote Eeebuntu.Assuming the remote router does not forward port 22, would I be able to have the remote computer remote forward, say my local port 10022 to remote 10022, thus allowing me to ssh user@localhost:10022 and bypass the need to access the router?

Lower priority, prepare a bash script for my friend to download that would require one input of the root password, and go through the full process of installing OpenSSH, setting up the server, and initiating contact to my computer. The ideal situation is allowing my friend to start the computer, run one script, type in one password, and walk away.Any ideas for better remote admin options are welcome, as well as comments/suggestions from anyone who has attempted this backwards form of ssh access.

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop With No Monitor?

Feb 11, 2010

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I can do remote desktop into the system with a monitor attached but when I reboot the system without a monitor attached I am unable to do remote desktop into it.

I want to use this system as a headless system and only use remote desktop to control it.

So I guess I need to start X and gnome without a monitor attached.

What do I need to do to get this to run?

Ubuntu :: No Keyboard When Using Remote Desktop?

May 6, 2010

i installed 10.04. when i try to dial into my work pc using my work VPN which uses Sonicwall using SSL-VPN technology. It works fine using older versions of Ubuntu, other linux versions, and XP or Vista. Using 10.04, I can login just fine, but when I get into the remote desktop, my keyboard does not work. the mouse works fine. I am using the newest version of java (1.6-20) with Ubuntu 10.04. I don't think I am using this version of java in the other linux versions, so I'm not sure if this is a problem with java, Ubuntu, or something else. i got the kb to work by pressing cntl-J, typing stty sane, then ctrl-J again, which is something I remembered from a long time ago..

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Configuration +more?

Jul 16, 2010

remote desktop requires authentication on server side when trying to login remotely via VNC. I have the option set to not require confirmation of each access to the machine, I set a password that the user must enter from the client side.just testing this locally over my LAN, VNC connects and asks for a password(the user field is blank; might be nice to have to enter a valid username and password so I don't have to share a general password). after entering the password on the client, a window pops up on the server 'An application wants access to the keyring Default but it is locked' and requires me to enter a password, which once I do then the VNC gets control and all is good... but obviously if I am trying to remote further than down the hall this won't work.

Ideally I would like to remote into ubuntu desktop with account credentials from the server and require no physical person at the server to allow access. I currently have an XP pro box setup this way with remote desktop and works flawlessly. I want to keep it true to the same functionality where when I log in remotely it joins a session with applications already running, such as a web browser and mail client, with those applications left running when I logout of the remote session. its not all that important if it locks the server side locally as there will eventually be no physical access to the machine once its been setup.

as you may have noticed I am fairly new to linux, but very willing to learn. my primary reason to move to the linux platform is that I am hoping it will provide better performance than windows XP/windows 7 when I upgrade the box to an atom based mainboard. any other thoughts or recommendations on my planned setup would be greatly appreciated as well.just to be clear, the 'server' is ubuntu desktop and client side is generally windows XP, windows 7, windows server (I work almost exclusively on windows boxes)

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop And OpenSSH ?

Aug 22, 2010

Set up my mom with Ubuntu and want to be able to connect to her computer remotely to help her out when she has a question. I did some search and it seems that everyone recommends using openSSH. I used this link [url]

To install it on my mom's computer (changed the port to 16 instead of 22 and added those lines he suggested to the end of that file). Now what? I can't seem to find any instruction to connect the two computers. Looking around I also found:

1- Remote Desktop Viewer
2- Terminal Server Client

under applications/internet and

3- Remote Desktop under preferences

It looks like I can use those to connect also. But are they related to openSSH? Should I uninstall openSSH and use 1,2 or 3? Which is moe secure or are they the same.
