I have three HP diskless thin clients and a Server with Ubuntu installed. I'd like to be able to run the desktop version of Ubuntu on the clients straight from the server, akin to what would be possible on Windows Server running terminal services and thin clients. Is this possible?
I currently have a startup application that automatically runs the Terminal Server Client at startup. what command I need to enter into the startup app that would make it automatically connect?
I got my hands on a couple old servers. An HP tc2021 and a Proliant ML110. Sure they're ancient, but I thought they would make a couple of great Ubuntu Servers for a new "start up" business I'm trying out. Now I've got to decide the best scenario to distribute the load between the two servers. I'm going to make an internal domain and will probably be running the following: Kerberos, Samba, Apache, Postfix, mysql, bind, dhcp, SVN, GCC, and Nagios. So in summary, I'll have the following roles; domain controller, web server, file server, and network monitoring services. how they would handle splitting these services up between two servers?
I have been trying to install the KDE desktop via terminal services, but am failing because I have forgotten the syntax. Could some one please help? I know I did this for Gnome before, so I think it would be just as easy to install KDE with all it's dependencies.I am running Mandriva One Spring 2009 on my laptop and Mandriva Free 2010 on my desktop. I want to install KDE environment on both.
Every now and then on my non-graphical console-orientated Debian Squeeze system, some services see it fit to spill their juices all over what I am doing.
A message about a service stopping/starting/restarting prints at the location of my cursor ontop of whatever I was doing at that moment, forcing me to either redraw ( if the currently running application supports it ), background and then foreground what I'm doing or clear the screen if at the shell.
Code: * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd * Restarting advanced system logger rsyslogd How can I stop these messages appearing? Even better would be to send them to /dev/tty8 where I've configured rsyslogd to write.
It would seem MySQL and VSFTP no longer create pid files and monit requires a pid file to work. Is there any way to force MySQLD and VSFTPD to use pid files or am I out of luck?
I recently became responsible for a server running Ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to figure out how its outbound mail service is setup. Everything is working fine now, I just want to document how it is setup so if I need to rebuild the box I can do so without too much trouble when the pressure is on. It is a pretty basic setup, the only outbound mail gets sent from php scripts, the server does not receive incoming messages. Is there a place I can look to see what service is sending outgoing messages?
I have a server running 64bit lucid and while trying to get a script to run on boot to start Davmail I appear to have broken something. I have webmin installed but I have been trying to do the majority of things via the command line. I now have davmail starting at boot but a lot of other services don't start anymore, including apache, mysql and webmin. Fortunately SSH still works and I can start apache and webmin from the command line without any problems.
How do you enable/disable the autostart of services. For example let's say I know I'm not gonna use apache and mysql for a while and don't want it to autostart anymore how do I disable it ?
And then once it is needed again how do you enable the autostart again ?
Why some application has daemon and some others doesn't. I thought just network application has services like httpd, nfs, cups.... but I just found out that cron, gpm.. and other has it to. why other some other applications hasn't got daemon. Just want to know what sort of application has services.
I downloaded the latest 10.4 server CD with the intention of running a small Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. I am following the directions here: [URL] Ive got 2 laptops that are capable of the tasks assigned to them. Both have dual core Intel chips that are VT enabled, 4GB of RAM, 250GB hard drives. Ill use one ( "server" ) as the front end server running cc, clc, walrus and sc.The other one ( "node1" ) will be the only node controller on my little network. Ive also got another laptop as a client, running euca commands to make instances and what not.These three laptops are connected to a switch. server is 192.168.1.100, node1 is going to be 192.168.1.110, the client laptop is 192.168.1.120.
the server seems to install fine, I select Install Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, use it as the Cluster, give the cluster a name and 10 IPs to assign, 192.168.1.150-192.168.1.160 After the server is done installing and reboots, I boot the node machine off the CD and again select Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. It's at this point the install craps out, because it does not recognize a cloud computer on the network.
Indeed, as I go to the server I run
Code:
ps -aux | grep euca
and see nothing running. So I start the eucalyptus service, and run
Code:
sudo euca_conf --list-clusters
and nothing shows up. Ive done some googling, ran some more euca_conf commands, registering the cluster, enabling walrus, cloud and sc. I can access the web gui on the client laptop, then restart the node install on the node laptop. This time it does see the server as a cluster controller, but when it tries to fetch the preseed file, it seems to not know the cluster's IP, as the red box that complains about the lack of a preseed file lists the URL as [URL] ( or whatever the file is called, I dont have the error in front of me. )
I can view my website, and ssh in when I've logged in already at home, but if the system gets rebooted, and gets as far as the login screen, I am not able to view the web site or ssh in. I was wondering how to set things up so thatthese services are running independent of logging in.
I have Apache Server working online under Fedora Core 6. But before I installed and configured everything, I've been testing in Fedora 12. The problem surges here, when I start the httpd service, every supuse 404 action on a web browser, takes me to localhost. I mean, if I enter google.com, no error, just goes to localhost, http://asdasd, no error, gives back localhost. I used to ignore the problem 'cause I thought it was a problem on my apache, but when I installed the Server on the Fedora Core 6 machine, I found that I have the same problem there. Of course, it only occurs when I am browsing through the same machine that has httpd started. Does anyone know how to change that??
i have installed apache and bind on my server and i've also registered a dynamic domain through dyndns as jan27.dyndns.biz. i am able to successfully host my own webpages using this method.
then i registered a domain name (lets call it "blah.com") through namescheap.com and have registered my nameserver to my ip address. after reconfiguring the my external zones in bind and restarted my services, i am unable to reach my webpages through the new domain name.. www.blah.com and blah.com would lead me to a opendns.com page but interestingly ns1.blah.com loads my webpages successfully.
So I want to get mount/umount option under right click services menu. I went to Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Services -> Download New Services and from there I installed KDE CDEmu Emulator and MountISO. But neither of them is showing up in actual context menu. Neither in Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Services for that matter. I tried to install them as normal user and as a root. I went to have a peak in /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ but they aren't there as well... It's just me or lots of things seems to be not quite working in 11.3?
I have a good grasp on windows server 2003 but I don?t want to pay outrageous license fees for software and services and clients. I am newish to terminal as I only know a few commands. I have no problem installing services for the server edition for 10.04. Its just understanding whats going wrong to troubleshoot. I guess there is you guys and I have good working knowledge of Cisco's IOS's so I understand things like routing tables and interfaces and such for troubleshooting.
Questions I have... Can I install the desktop version of 10.04 and just install the server services? I was looking at the server guide [URL] and would like to know if these can all be installed on the desktop edition without too much trouble. I would imagine one could just use the server edition but I would really want a graphical user environment for some of the activities, if not all that I can. This would be becuase on my skills in the CLI. I priced out a server from Dell. I fits my budget perfectly if I go the Ubuntu 10.04 route. I was wondering if anyone sees any conflicts with the hardware for the Ubuntu OS....
so my server is doing fine, but there is one odd thing I would like to fix. When I start and stop services, the CPU is maxed out for about five seconds each time. The services start the same speed, but it still does this. Small things like lm_sensors don't do this, just things like httpd and sendmail. THis server was upgraded to Fedora 11 with a netinstall CD a few months ago.
Is there a good terminal services client available I can connect to my Windows boxes from Fedora12? I am willing to pay for a commercial license if there is a good one
i accidently closed the terminal on a fresh ubuntu server install, all i have is a grey screen (no desktop) how do i re-open the terminal so i can carry on working -_-
I have installed the ubuntu-desktop package on top of ubuntu server 9.1 but now I would like to remove it and boot straight into terminal. I would just like to have a basic server that goes straight into terminal.
When 1 of the terminals logs in most of the time they do not get the top or bottom "panels". I have had to add 2 side panels to get the buttons and menus.This only happens to 1 user when she logs in. IS there any settings that i could change ? When the user is logged in she can do what ever she likes when she gets the panels back. and the speed is lovely.
I am trying to install the Sun Microsystems Java Runtime on my Ubuntu Server 10.10, but it is telling me that it is not available. I have researched online and it tells me that it is a part of the multiverse repository. I have not had very much success in activating this either.
I've had a couple Ubuntu 8.04 servers hang hard with no terminal response.
After a given time the terminal login screen will go blank automatically. I'd like to prevent that from happening in order to hopefully catch any messages that get output to the screen before these hangs occur. Currently when the server hangs, I can mash the keyboard all I want, the screen stays blank.
I've tried 'setterm -powersave off -blank 0', but that doesn't seem to hold after logout.
