Ubuntu Servers :: Loosing Abilitly To Remotely Connect?
Jul 22, 2011
System hostname Server Operating system Ubuntu Linux 11.04 Webmin version 1.550 Time on system Fri Jul 22 09:23:44 2011 Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.38-10-generic on i686 Processor information Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2160 @ 1.80GHz, 2 cores
Every couple of hours I am unable to ssh or vnc in to my system or anything else. I can remote into another PC on my LAN and everything works fine. The only things that fixes the problem is restarting the system. Could someone point me in the right dirrection to start trouble shooting this problem? I am still learning where all the log files are and I am generally new to linux

I keep getting this error trying to connect to newly installed postgres server on Amazon EC2 running Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat....
Could not connect to server: Operation timed out Is the server running on host "....ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I've updated config files, as follows...
pg_hba.conf
added
host all all 124.168.242.0/24 trust
where 124.168.242.0 is the IP range of my ISP
postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = '*'
port = 5432
I am attempting to connect with pgAdmin 3 client. I don't think the problem is the client.

I'm migrating a server form CentOs to Ubuntu 11.04. I migrated the users, moving the config files and gaining the access prompt for all the users just when I modified adduser.conf and login.defs, changing valid uid and gid to start from 500 instead of 1000. When I try to copy the files from old server to the new one, either with rsync or cp -br, the system set to 0 uid and gid. If I explore the mount point, connected with sshfs, I can see the correct configuration, either as names or as numeric data.

I have 64-bit ubuntu 9.10 server edition running in a media server for my house. But over the last few months I've discovered that its loosing files! Its not all files, Just music. It will lose anywhere from about half an album the every song in the folder, leaving the artwork if it was in there. At first i thought It was iTunes reorganizing my files, but thats not the case, as i've looked around for them, and told iTunes pretty much to stop messing with my file locations. My boss who's pretty Linux savvy says that 9.10 is really buggy. I've tried doing updates (sudo apt-get update/upgrade) but its still losing music.

I'm running Ubuntu on a Zotac home theater PC. I wish to connect from another PC prior to login. The reason is that the home theater system has no convenient display. I've succeeded in getting a connection prior to logon from a PC using TightVNC. I've also tried Teamviewer running in Ubuntu without success. I'm now experimenting with X windows, but it seems complicated.
TightVNC is working well ecept that it opens a new session and I'd rather share the same session on Display 0. how best to connect to my Ubuntu home theater PC prior to logon and share the same session.

I have 5 PCs running windows XP and I want to remotely connect to a server that has Ubuntu.
I want all of them to have their own passwords and own desktops something like Remote desktop in windows and each one can run his programs separately.

I am new to Ubuntu and have been trying to make a remote connection to my home server. I think I almost there. Here's what I have done:
1) Installed Ubuntu Server 10.0 on a Pentium 2 with 256K
2) Installed SSH, MySQL, desktop GUI and enabled remote access
3) Port forwarded my Lynksys to 5900:22 and 80
4) installed Putty and TightVNC Viewer
5) Obtained a DynDDS account
My interanl IP Addy = 192.168.x.yyy
My External IP Addy = 76.xxx.y.zzz
When I run Putty, the connection times out (which I am guessing that my server may not be setup correctly). Since I am configuring all this at home, I am unable to simulate a true remote access unless I go to an outside location. Is there a way to test my connection from outside my network rather than waiting to login remotely from a place other than my home?

I have been using TightVNC (on XP) to remotely connect to my Ubuntu machine at home while in the office. This just worked. After upgrading to 10.10, I no longer can connect. Errormessage: Failed to connect to server (my ip) Looked at remote desktop settings, but these are not changed. Port forwarding is working and I use an internal fixed ip, so I can't imagine this being a problem (I doublechecked it anyway!). Anyone seen similar behavior> And, more interestingly, anyone know of a way to fix this?

Just throwing in a quick question to see if anyone got any ideas about this.I'm unable to create a remote X session with TightVNC viewer. The local computer is a windows XP box and the remote server is running Slackware 13.
Using Putty on the XP box to connect to Xvnc through a ssh tunnel works just fine. However, when I fire up TightVNC viewer and try to connect to 127.0.0.1 as I'm used to, TightVNC viewer is unable to establish a connection to X. I'm puzzled.
This has worked when I used another XP box as local computer. I'm running all within my LAN. Can this be a firewall/iptables issue? I've obviously posted this in wrong forum category. Sorry about that. Starts this thread in server category too.

RedhatEL5(as guest) in Vmware ace, installed Samba, when:
#links http://localhost:901 ENTER
It works
but not with
#links http://127.0.0.1:901 ENTER

Restarted accordingly, xinetd, with IPtables stop, #/etc/xinetd.d/swat file(disable = no) etc. How to fix this?

I just succesfully installed Centos 5.5 64bit with following package:
- httpd 2.2.3-43
- php-mysql 5.1.6-27
- mysql 5.0.77-4
and all these packages are running ok.
My question is how do i connect from Centos to another MSSQL server using PHP? I had read several article but cannot find the best way to achieve this because most of the instruction seems to be quite complicated. I found somewhere in this forum that all it need just this simple command: "yum --enablerepo=extras install php-mssql freetds". While others article said that i need to install "FreeTDS" and some ODBC driver. I'm a little bit curious since most of that article are using an older version of Centos and PHP.

I am having an issue with Ubuntu 10.10 and VNCServer. I can connect to my Ubuntu box remotely with VNC, but if I type any character anywhere, it closes out the window I was typing in. I dont seem to have a problem clicking and opening windows and applications, I just cant type anything into them without the window closing. Has anyone seen this behavior and know what the fix is?

I'm running vsftpd-2.2.2 on Slackware 13.1 and I'm behind a NAT with a dynamic IP. I'm using pasv_address, which makes it necessary to have a crontab that checks whether my IP has changed, and if it has, edits the conf and restarts vsfptd. It's hackish but it works. I have also enabled FTPES on the same port that normal FTP runs. I have allowed only the 5001:5003 ports and I am aware that the recommented is 50 ports. However I never had an issue with the transfers since I'm the only user and have at maximum two simultaneous transfers.
I can connect remotely with FTP and FTPES with every client I tried but I'm having issues locally. FileZilla refuses to connect on FTP and FTPES. WinSCP can connect on FTP but not FTPES. Issues are gone if I enable pasv_promiscuous, which the manpage strongly recommends not to use unless "you know what you're doing". I don't. Why is this happening? And, can I fix the local connections without resorting to pasv_promiscuous?
Here is my config and log files from a failed local attempt.
vsftpd.conf
Code:
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022

I have made a virtual machine on my server using virt-manager that I access using virt-viewer from my desktop/laptop. Currently I am having to leave the VM on all the time. Which is a waste of cpu/ram etc. Ideally I would like to be able to wake the vm up from virt-viewer or from a bash script being ran on my desktop.

In this particular example I am using NoMachine's NX, although the behaviour also occurs when running VNC for instance. I'd like to connect from my laptop (1 physical screen), to my desktop at work (2 physical screen) via NX. It all works but the following problem occurs: When I connect with my laptop to my desktop I (almost) always am connected to the 2nd physical screen, whereas all windows appear on this first screen. I can interact with my desktop, use the task manager etc, see which windows are running, but any application I start, starts on the first screen (which I cannot see) and for the life of me I cannot move them from screen1 to screen2 without dragging them (which obviously is impossible since I only see screen2).The obvious workaround is: *before* you connect disable the second screen via the display manager but for me this is a non-pratical work around because it requires a lot of actions before heading home. how I can connect from a single-head desktop to a dual-head desktop without crippeling my desktop experience?

Is there any web interface that I can install to remotely reboot ubuntu? It would only be accessible via a VPN or on the LAN so not too much worry over security.

Tried turning firewall off, i tried port forwarding tcp port 22, but it still doesn't work. Also am unable to ping modem over WAN, i can ping the modem locally though. Tech support claims pinging and ssh is not part of the internet so they wont support it in any way.

I recently set up a computer running Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop for use as a server, and successfully have it hosting game servers.I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to go about this, but ideally I would like a user to be able to access a single folder on the server over the internet, and be able to upload and download files from it.It would be nice to set up multiple folders like this, so different people would have access to their own personal folder, but not anyone else's.

One server is a dedicated MySQL server. After upgrading that one to Ubuntu 10.04 (from an ancient Suse 9.2), both servers are running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.I have another server that I use to administer the database server via phpMyAdmin. However since the upgrade it is not able to connect. I get an error #1130 Cannot log in to the MySQL server. The same happens if I try to connect remotely from the command line with: mysql -u root -h 129.79.137.121 -pI'm not sure if this is an iptables/ports problem or a configuration problem on the MySQL end or something else entirely.I've searched and tried the suggestions I've found in various places but none seems to have fixed it.

I came back to see on the screen a message requesting remote desktop control. So I said no and went into remote desktop and said never allow connection. I had recently hosted a PHP app on the home pc for testing purposes using apache. Here are some of the last logs entries:

I'm writing you to ask some help with administrating a server remotely.
I have a machine I use remotely when I have to travel, some time for quite long periods like from one to three months.
Last time it happened to me that after upgrading I send the reboot command
and the machine didn't turn down, so I couldn't be able to access it.
My question is: how can I avoid such situations?
Is there any best practice to follow?

I have a server at home running as a file server and DHCP connected to a switch with a wireless AP in there as-well. with this setup I can access the files and do some configurations via SSH on the actual server anytime I'm able to get the wireless signal, now lately I felt the need to be able to do the same but this time over the internet. I've read somewhere already that I'm gonna need a router with port forwarding and NAT, then know the IP address of the server but my problem is once you start talking about routers then you need broadband connection which is something I don't have. Getting a router is not much of a problem but without ADSL like connection I guess its useless, what do I need to do?
