I have 8.04 installed on virtual on a remote machine, also I installed apache2. I would like to istatall and configure other things, but I get this:
root@mobix:~# gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf
cannot open display:
Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
I just started using FireFTP instead of FileZilla because I got fed up with FileZilla not opening remote files and not recognising the default editor Gedit.
I really want to use keyboard shortcuts with FireFTP, which is possible according to the help docs on-line, but there is no option to use shortcuts anywhere even having enabled FireFTP to open in a new window. I tried it in Shiretoko 3.59 and Firefox 3.18 with no luck.
I just tried removing FileZilla and it does not appear in my list of installed apps. It appears in the full list as uninstalled but when ticking the box to install gives this message. FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. I already have FileZilla..so how is that?
I am trying to make wine work for explorer. I followed some instructions on this link [URL] To follow this link, I am supposed to
cd ~/ies4linux/ie6
cp user.reg ~/user.reg.old
gedit user.reg

I connect with ssh to an Ubuntu server to edit some files in /var/www witch I have set the setgid bit:
# sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www
# sudo chmod -R 770 /var/www
# sudo chmod -R g+s /var/www
I have added the user "user" to www-data group. Now I connect using ssh as user "user" to my server with nautilus. When I copy files using nautilus file get the group permission 'www-data' as they should. But if I edit a file using Gedit and save it, the file's group get changed to "user" group ?
I set-up my Sudo it works but when I use Gedit I get the following message

If I use vi it's ok, I can modify and save. In Fedora it run ok, but with opensuse?
When scrolling down in nano with keyboard (holding "down" key), nano scrolls several lines at once each time. Is there any possibility to configure it so it will scroll one line each time like gedit does when scrolling in gedit?

If I wanted to SSH into my server from a remote destination, it seems I would have to take the following steps.
1) In lieu of getting a static IP from my ISP, sign up with Dynamic DNS and use it instead.
2) My home server is not at the gateway. So I would have to forward port 22 (at the router) to my server's LAN static address.
3) Access my server via SSH remotely by going to \xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22 where the "x's" stand for the static IP address given to me by DynDNS.
Does this sound correct? If not, I'm not asking for hand holding, but a point towards a tutorial or how-to would be helpful.
Edit: Or... am I going to have to set up a VPN to SSH into the server?
I've been working on this since last night (a few hours) but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I'll spare you the details of what I've tried already.
Could someone guide me through connecting to my Ubuntu server using a remote X session? The "kicker" is that I want to do this from a Knoppix LIVE CD. So whatever method I am given will have to be something that is common to most Linux distros.
I imagine I will need help with two important steps:
1) verifying that I have an xserver of some kind running on my server.
2) command line statement for starting the Xserver from the remote machine.
I did a upgrade to 10.04 on my server. Then after a reboot I was unable to remotely get into server. Upon connecting the monitor I am greeted with the purple 10.04 boot screen with this text at the bottom:
Code:
The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
Now I did some googling and the results I came across involved a encrypted drive which I have never even tried to setup. Now if I choose a manual recovery I am dropped to cli which from there I can start networking then ssh into the system and run updates, ping other machines, etc. But again this is meant to be a remote access server so everytime I reboot I cant just hit the M key let alone run service networking start! So I commented out the swap entry's in both my /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab...now I cannot even get to terminal as I could before...now it just loops with no errors!
I'm starting several VMs on a remote headless ubuntu server via ssh using:
Code:
VBoxHeadless -s <vmname>
The VM starts up okay, and I'm left with an occupied command terminal on my local ubuntu machine. So, if I want to start up several VMs on the remote server, I have to open up several command terminals and end up with as many occupied terminals once they're all running. When the local terminal is closed, the remote VM is also shutdown.
Is there a better way to do this without the remote VM being dependent on the local terminal? I'd like to remotely startup the VMs and be able to close the local terminals without shutting down the VMs. I'm sure this must be possible, I just don't know how to do it.
Does anyone know the best and simplest way to do this? I'd like the share to be mounted over the tunnel on boot with as little scripting as possible and be as secure as possible without exposing more than one port to the outside. I will be trying this method: [URL]... once the tunnel is established and 'always on' NFS would take care of the file system mount obviously. Lots of the information I have been reading is not up to date it seems. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have a compressed backup that I want to crypt and upload to a remote server through ssh once in a while. The problem is with the size, more than 4 GB. If the connection drops how does scp know to resume? This should be an automated process.
View 8 Replies View RelatedFTP from and from my home computers to 2 remote servers has become really slow over the past month. One of the remote servers I manage and the other one is taken care of by a hosting company, so I am thinking the problem is residing on my end. It doesn't matter if I am downloading 1 file or 10 files, they are all coming in at 9 kb/s which is really slow cause I have a 7 megabit connection. I've tried using multiple computers and still have the same problem. I am using proftp for the ftp server and filezilla for the client.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running a local webserver mainly for development. I have everything set up. The issue I currently have is that I cannot shut down the machine from the command line. I can issue the command but the machine remains on. I also cannot get to the desktop via VNC.The reason for this, is that there is no monitor attached so Ubuntu says that it is trying to run in Low Graphics Mode. I found this out as I plugged the monitor in to my server.So question is, how do I get around this? How can I set up Ubuntu to get past this, or do I need to install Ubuntu Server?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am very new to Ubuntu (any Linux) evironment. And it has been a long long time since I have dealt with seting up servers. I have done alot of searching but haven't found exactly what I THINK I am looking for.
I want to create a file server (I have created my Ubuntu server cd) and add it to my home network (all windows pcs). I need to be able to access it when away from home ( I work away from home mostly). I will be accessing this with a Windows 7 laptop.
What do I need installed on the server? Samba for the file server part. What else for the remote access? I also would rather not access the data via FTP. I would like it to come up as a drive in my Windows Explorer. If not, I remember back in college (20 years ago) when I could open a little window (XWindow maybe) on the other server.
An issue I see that might not be an issue. I have a static IP from my ISP. It comes into my home via their modem. I attach to the modem with a router. All my laptops connect to it wireless and this server will be wired. How do I hit the server and not one of the laptops with only having the one IP address? Each of these plus my external harddrive and printer have their own internal IP address' that I have assigned.
I am wondering how to setup a remote disk on my server so that I can remotely access files on my Windows laptop through the "Map Network Drive" feature.
How do I go about doing something like this?
I manage a few Linux servers and I need a fast way to connect to these servers instead of having to enter the root password every time.
Is there anyway to save the passwords/keys and connect to the servers by simply typing: SSH user@ip
Or even something easier without typing the server IP like I had Putty in Windows. I know I can still use Putty but I want to use a better SSH client, like GNOME Terminal.
I want to set up a home computer as server. I've installed Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04, and can access it through SSH. However, I would like to have a browser based interface for managing things, such as installing a phpBB forum and stuff like that. Also, I want my friends to be able to share files on my home server as well. I know I can do it by using FTP, but I would rather not have them to install a FTP program.

I can remotely bring up CUPS and print a test page, but I would like to be able to add a printer in windows like I normally would. Add printer, network work printer and so on, but I am not sure how to implement this on Ubuntu server. Do I need to use IPP or do I have to share it out using Samba? Oh, my server does not have a graphical desktop, it is strictly console based.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a client/server application that can allow me to have remote GUI access (eg: VNC) but with the ability to use sound.
I see that TeamViewer has a linux application out now but for my company, it would compromise security protocol because it reaches out to the TeamViewer servers to do any work.
Basically, we have applications that require a GUI and we need to hear sounds from them if they throw an alert (the app is a monitoring tool).
We are running a VNC server on it currently and when our monitoring machine was on Windows, TightVNC was able to get the sound...that is not the case with any Linux client so I am wondering if there is actually one that exists.
What app/util for Ubuntu Server 10.10 would allow me to browse and download data stored on the server via a website interface similar to Windows home server?
