Servers :: Install - Access It Remotely Via Ubuntu Desktop Environment Instead Of SSH Command Line?

Aug 5, 2011

Is there any way to install a Ubuntu server and access the server remotely via a Ubuntu desktop environment instead of a SSH command line?

I will be installing a Ubuntu server in an office where the office manager will need to be able to do simple things like add/remove users, access filesystems, etc. She can handle these tasks in Ubuntu desktop/GUI, but it is impractical for her to have to learn how to use the CLI terminal to do this stuff.

Will I have to install desktop Ubuntu on the server to do this, or can I install Ubuntu server version and setup another computer Ubuntu desktop to remotely login graphically?

Ubuntu Servers :: Install Ltsp On 10.04 Without Hard Brainfucking?

Apr 1, 2011

In internets there are lot of successless stories installing ltsp on ubuntu 10.04. Most problems are in ndb, init scripts and somewhere else, which are hardly debuggable. It seems like ubuntu 10.04 has ltsp packages completely broken and abandoned. Have someone succeeded to install ltsp on 10.04 without hard brainfucking? Maybe it's better to install ltsp from scratch, or choose another distribution?

Ubuntu Servers :: Install And Configure LTSP On A Server For A HP Thin Client To Boot Off?

Jul 22, 2011

I am trying to install and configure LTSP on a server for a HP thin client to boot off. The version of Ubuntu that I am using is 11.04 x86 and it is a fresh install on a dual core system with 2GB RAM. I followed a guide which comprised of these commands.

sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server sudo ltsp-build-client or if your on a 64-bit system with 32-bit machines do sudo ltsp-build-client arch i386 for editing the servers IP values use /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf after that you need to restart DHCP server sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
and update sshkeys -sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys and if you updated dhcpd.conf then you need to update you image also by typing in terminal ltsp-update-image

Everything seemed to install as it should but when I try to boot from the thin client it just times out and says no DHCP or proxy invites received. I turned DHCP off on the router and even tried another router, but I still get nothing. I am at a bit of a loose end and I hope someone on here can point me in the right direction of where I am going wrong.

Ubuntu Installation :: Install X11 As The Desktop Environment

Feb 8, 2010

I recently had to get a new PC, I am left with one that while it doesn't do what I needed to, still works just fine so I would like to turn it into a barebones file server. I could do this under Windows, I have an old copy of W2K server install I got from my networking class... but I'd rather do it via Ubuntu.I know there are automated install options but I can't figure out how to make use of them. All I need to have it do, is on install:Install X11 as the desktop environment (lightweight, resource friendly).Install VNC to allow me to remotely administer the server and fine-tune any configurations Setup up the NIC so I can obviously network it.

If there's a way to strip off the extra programs (ie: games, office software, graphics editors, etc), that'd be fine. I'm unsure if I want to do any media streaming (specifically of music, unsure if the onboard graphics is suited to video)I don't have a spare monitor to hook this up with, and I want to stash this machine in an out-of-the way place where it won't be noticed.Can anyone help me or point out an 'idiot's guide to automated installing Ubuntu' by any chance?

Server :: Install Desktop Environment On VPS And Vnc Into It?

Apr 14, 2010

I own a VPS (Virtual Private Server) and I would like to install a desktop environment on it. After installing the desktop enviroment, I would like to install a VNC server on the VPS, after that I would like to be able to configure the VNC server remotely via SSH and then log in using VNC to connect to that VPS. Is that possible? The reason I wanted to do that is because I want to use their internet connection to browse the web, their speed is like 6 times faster than mine because they have backbone which I can't afford.

Debian :: 8.3.0 - Can Change Desktop Environment After Install

Feb 17, 2016

I am new to Linux and I just installed Debian Jessie about a week ago. I have been tweaking it and learning the command line and all that, but I also have been reading and studying about different aspects of Debian that I was unaware of before I installed it. Because of my reading, I think that I would like to change my desktop environment. When I installed Debian, I consciously chose the Cinnamon desktop because I felt that the simplicity would suit my needs, but I have recently read about KDE and I think that it has some features that I would be interested in. Is it possible to change my desktop environment now, even though I have already installed Debian? If so, how difficult is it?

On a very closely related question, I do have an extra 60 GB partition just sitting there with nothing on it. As an alternative to the above scenario of changing desktop environments before I know exactly which one I will like better, I can make another installation of Debian on my free partition and run both Cinnamon and KDE side-by-side for a little while until I learn which one suits my needs the best.

Ubuntu Servers :: 9.10 To 10.4 Upgrade And LTSP?

Apr 30, 2010

Version 9.10 had been installed via the alternate CD as the LTSP Server Edition. In place upgrade to 10.4 completed normally via Update Manager. However, LTSP terminal boot now fails with error "Forbidden directory" and "Access Violation". The following was found . Ubuntu 10.4 uses tftp-hpa. Either this is a change from Ubuntu 9.10 or the default behaviour of tftp-hpa has changed. So now, the filename argument given in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf must include the full pathname. The previous requirement was to exclude the chroot path. If this is documented somewhere, I missed it. And after modifying /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf, do not forget to restart the dhcp daemon $ sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart

Ubuntu Servers :: LTSP And Booting HPt5000?

Dec 4, 2010

I got myself a HP t5000 series Thin client to use on my LTSP 10.04. I changed the Bios to boot PxE. When i restart the thin client it asks for a DHCP and finds the LTSP-DHCP server all is good. Its got a IP address ok, the boot process starts. ok I get the Splash screen for Ubuntu. and all is going well. ok I no get a login screen. All is going very well. (As normal with Ubuntu). I can login all is good the login starts and i get the start up sound.But then where normally one would expect to get a desktop, one gets a login screen. Not knowing the full boot procses im not sure where to start to look. Knowing linux there would be a log file somewhere, that stores the LTSP Terminal Bootup/login process and would tell me where its stopping/failing.

The good news is that when i boot a fat client in all works ok and i an able to get in with a desktop.

Ubuntu Servers :: Ltsp Fails In Tftp Under U9.10 / Sort It?

Feb 17, 2010

In Jaunty (9.04) I've setup a small (eleven-terminal) ltsp network at the local school. It handled around 6600 working hours with ease.
Now I've upgrade the server to Karmic Koala (9.10) and it just stopped working.
1) The clients have PXE NICs
2) They get the proper IPs from the DHCP server and respond appropriately to changes in the DHCP configuration files.
3) DHCP server also points the clients to
filename=/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
4) When the clients try to download the pxelinux.0 over tftp they just timeout
5) /etc/inetd.conf has an entry like
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot
6) The file /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 exists on the server

I'm lost at all these configuration files and protocols.

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.04 LTSP Locks Up After 23rd Login?

Sep 3, 2010

I am currently running LTSP on Ubuntu 10.04. It is a dual gig nic setup with 16GB of ram and dual AMD quad core 2.4s. I installed all the latest updates as well as likewise-open so we can use AD authentication. When testing the configuration in the lab, I boot 32 clients that successfully reach the login screen. Here comes the interesting part, I can log in, using all unique AD accounts, up to 22 clients. When I attempt to log in to the 23rd client LTSP hangs. If I restart a client it will retrieve an IP address, but TFTP will eventually time out. All of the clients are connected to a Gigabit switch along with the server so network speeds are not an issue. When I run system monitor it only shows 3.6GB of memory in use and the processors are all under 10% utilization. I have beating my head against this issue for 2 days .

Ubuntu Servers :: Running Localapps In 10.04 LTSP Clients?

Dec 8, 2010

I've successfully built my server, and any fat or thin client that I connect to it boots wonderfully, with great response. I've gone through this exercise because we need a more efficient way of testing computers before delivery to our customers. So, I'm trying to run Passmark's BurnInTest. I've run it before with previous versions (9.something, I think) and it worked well, but I needed to build a new server so we can test more computers concurrently, so I figured I'd get the latest release.

My problem occurs when I try to run BurnInTest - it must have root access to test the local USB, parallel, and serial ports, and the optical drive. For the previous iteration I used a script that dropped into a local xterm session, su'd to a root session, and called the BiT GUI. In this attempt, the same scripts, even when I single-step them manually, results in 'authentication failure' when the su is attempted.

I have enabled the root account and created a password for it in the chroot /opt/ltsp/i386, and rebuilt the image, multiple times, no joy. Using ctrl-alt-F1 I can log in as root, and using dmesg I can see the USB device register when I connect it, so as far as I can tell the root account is alive and well, just not available in a local xterm session for some reason.
