Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop With Router WRT54GS2
Jul 18, 2010
I recently got a new router (and new isp). On my old isp and router it seemed quite simple to remote desktop to my linux box from any of my windows xp machines using vnc.
After I got my new router(WRT54GS2) and pretty much at the same time upgraded to 10.04 I had went back to reconfigure it. I simply cannot find a way to make this work. On the old version of ubuntu the remote desktop settings had a choice to change the port which seemed like the key ingredient to make it work when I was having troubles before. This new version seems verrry dumbed down to me and I can't seem to get anything to work.
I read some tutorials and all I've seen is to change port forwarding settings on my router(i'll include a picture of what that looks like)

Setting up desktop (9.04) behind router for remote access by latptop (9.10) I am setting up desktop (9.04) behind router for remote access by latptop (9.10). Rationale: All of my files are on my desktop HD, but I am often out of my home needing to work on my files. It is becoming labour intensive to keep track of the files I make/change and try to copy them on my non-connected desktop/laptop.
Dream: Able to remote access and modify my desktop files from my laptop (while the files remain on the desktop). Request: A simple, GUI, basic, non-technical guide how to set it up!
What I know: 1.I was going to use the 'Remote Desktop' VNC connection under System->Preferences. However, if I understand this correctly, this only secures my computer (i.e. Locks the front door of my desktop) and the data streamed between them is not encrypted.[URL]..
2.Then I need to set up my router to accept the connection from my laptop.
3.Then I will need to use SSH to secure the info sent between them. This is the bit I don't really have a good grip on.
[Code]...

My home linux box is behind a Linksys WRT110 router. I have enabled the Remote Desktop from System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop. I then run TightVNC from my WinXP box. As I wish to run a secure connection, my first obstacle comes from PuTTY.
In PuTTY, my settings are as follows:
Host Name(or IP address) Port
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 22
SSH-->Tunnels:
[code]....
I recieve "Network error: Connection refused" I have gleened all of this information from other boards and tutorials. I know there is something critical that I am missing.

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?

I want to show you this scheme:MyPC -> router -> internet <- router <- Mom'spc I want to connect from my pc to my mom's pc using ssh. The first router doesn't represent a problem, but my mom's router does. Our IPs are both dynamic (anyway, I can easyly know them) and I have opened the port (TCP/UDP) 2100 on the router in order to open a gateway on mom's pc.The firewall is not enabled on the router, nor on mom's pc.
Granted all this, now I should be able to connect to that computer using ssh:ssh user@ip -p 2100 But I can't, I always get a "connection refused".if I do it on my intranet, I can connect without any problem (to others computers, of course, not mom's) What's the reason because I always get a connection refused?

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?

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.

I have an Ubuntu server that I need to access remotely while I am at school. The server's internet connection comes first through a DI-604 broadband router and then through a Netgear Wireless router:
ethernet wall jack --> Broadband Router --> Wireless Router --> Server's ethernet port
I can manage to get the SSH to work with the current IP address (dynamic) by connecting the server directly to the broadband router, but I cannot set up DNS (ddclient on the server, Namecheap for domain registrar and nameserver) with it. I can set up DNS on the router with no issue, as it has the DNS client built in, but I cannot get the SHH to connect through both the modem and the router as mentioned above. Best case scenario, this can be fixed without having to get anything new, but if that is the case, recommendations of a new setup
Other reference info - ISP at server is Verizon Fios, broadband router set to PPPoE.

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?

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.

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).

I need to get software for viewing my shop cameras from my laptop with wwan card. I have an ADT 8 camera DVR and a Motorola Netopia 3347-02 router from AT&T. My shop computer is running Windows 7 with RASPlus for viewing locally. I have a Dell Lattitude D520 laptop with Knoppix 6.2 and a WWAN card. What software do I need to view the cameras from the road? What do I need to do to get past my router? I hear that Zoneminder is not good enough to handle the 8 cameras.

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?

I've been using Linux on a more regular basis for the last two months now and have been able to find replacements for most of the software i use in Windows, or by using Wine. But i have one big problem that is keeping me from switching permanently to Linux. I frequently use remote control software to access and control my computers, both at home and to access my computers from remote places over the internet. I've been using NetOp, and more recently RealVNC. The client, or "viewer" part of RealVNC is working fine in both Windows and Linux. It's the host or server part that i can't get to work properly when it comes to VNC. The vnc.so module doesn't work on my system, x0vncserver program seems rather useless since it refuses to load before i have a network connection and this prevents me from start the program automatically as the wireless connection isn't ready and the vncserver command isn't an option since it doesn't display what i see on the actual screen. So, does anyone have a nice solution to this problem? Either to make VNC work or suggest some software that does. Anyway, it has to work on both Windows and Linux, in Linux it has to display the native x display, there must be built-in encryption and preferably be free or open-source software. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.

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?

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.

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?

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..

PS I have forwarded port 5500,5800 and 5900 to my home server pc of course

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)

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.

I want to be able to use my desktop from work over VNC but it won't let me connect. In the Remote Desktop Preferences I have "Allow other users to view your desktop" checked and I also have "Allow other users to control your desktop" checked. But it says below that "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.1.10 or brownserver.local."
Under the Security section I have "Require user to enter this password" checked and I've filled in a password for it.
I've also port forwarded port 5900 to my desktop on my router so that shouldn't be an issue either. When I attempt to connect over the internet from my laptop I get a message that says that the connection was refused. So I think my request is at least making it to the desktop, it's just that the desktop doesn't want to allow it.
One quick question though....I'm not sure, but I might have changed the default port on which VNC is listening on this machine. I don't remember if I did or not. And if I did, I don't remember how I did it. Could someone point me in the proper direction to see which port remote desktop is listening on?

I have a desktop with Ubuntu 10.10 along with a laptop with Ubuntu 10.10. I have configured Remote Desktop with the following settings on both machines. However, on either machine, I go to Terminal Server Client. I type in the IP address and I hit connect (with RDP selected) and I get this error.
Or using VNC: An Error Occurred.
