I need to setup a xdmcp server on ubuntu 10.10 to allow for remote connections. Obviously this cant be done from the login window as with previous versions of Ubuntu.
View 3 RepliesI've recently been asked to setup our FTP server to accept connections from a remote host. They sent me a file "id_dsa.pub" with instructions to add this key to the xfer user.
Unfortunately I've no idea how to do this!
I'm running vsftpd 2.0.5 on Centos 5.3
on a openSUSE-11.3 how do I configure lxde so I can access it via a remote XWindow server via xdmcp?
Entry /etc/sysconfing/displaymanager:
DISPLAYMANAGER="lxdm"
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes"
Entry in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager:
DEFAULT_WM="startlxde"
[Code]...
on Debian/Ubuntu in the login form (i suppose it's "gdm") from the bottom right corner I can pick the option to login to a remote XDMPC desktop (that of course I enabled on the other side..) the network is checked for those open XDMCP service and finally, the login box appears and i can remotely login to a "graphic terminal".
How can I do the same in Fedora? I found some guide about Xnest, Xzephyr, but I was totally unable to find a way for doing this simple task.
I'm trying to get an laptop running more or less like a headless server, my reasons are not all that serious. Mostly I want to leave the laptop running as a seed box when my main PC is turned off, also want to setup it up as a media top, common place for media files and playback on Tv. So essentially I want to be able to access the remote machine, preferably sharing the same session and persisting while I log out from remote.
What I've done:
setup keys for ssh to connect automatically between machines, so I can login via terminal, access the file system without issues, which is already a great step. enabled remote access on remote machine lightdm manager setup deluge for daemon torrenting, which enables almost seamlessly client to connect remotely (though deluge is not the best with speed)
What I've tried so far:
Connect directly with a new X session
Code: Select allX -query your_server_ip :1
Works alright, creates a new display (:1) which is oddly in F2 tty instead F8 as is expected. Works alright, not much lag, audio is not routed.
But an issue! whenever I decide to log out X will simply shutdown, screen goes black and I can't resume on my regular session on my local machine.Connect X with nested Xephyr session
Code: Select allXephyr -query your_server_ip -screen 1280x1024 :1
This works too and might be the best solution yet, a windows is created and the remote session is nested in your current X session. Visual and performance is ok. Only real issue is that session is not shared, eg, application will not remain running...Connect via VNC
So it seems only solution for shared sessions is VNC.
With the remote desktop apps from KDE (which is the DE for both), I can connect buzz around and etc, but its kinda cumbersome and laggy, password always resets and I usually need to accept on the remote machine.
I've tried setting up lightdm to allow a vncserver at logon, but this is erratic at best, took a long time to get the Xvnc command correct enough for me to login remotely, and even then got a garbled screen and the X session wasn't even the same...
So that's it... Isn't there a way of regular X session sharing in the remote computer? Or a better solution for lightdm vnc invoke?
I've been used to using RDP on Windows to remote to machines, and I've got an asus eee 701 which I want to use to do some *nix programming on. While the eee is a lovely little machine the screen and keyboard are a little small to use for lots of programming. I've tried using Xming (the free version) to remote login into the eee from my desktop using XDMCP (or even using a ssh session as a straight X11 server and no desktop on the eee) the whole thing seems seriously slow over wifi the initial desktop takes at least 5 seconds to paint (might even be 10 seconds I haven't actually timed it). So my real question is what do other folks use for remote control with a GUI for their *nix boxes? I am finding it hard to believe the performance is so bad over a wifi network (It makes the Mac IIs I used to use a college in 1988 seem fast) or is this just a problem with Xming and using say the Cygwin X11 server would be better.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am going through cygwin's XWin.exe (XWin - queary <hostname>) to start a remote session with a RHEL 5.5 workstation. I have run gdmsetup on the worksation to allow the remote connection. Starting the remote session goes off without a problem. After about two hours, it just exits and I have to start over. This is a problem since all my gui's are killed and I have some important processes running.
/var/log/syslog/messages shows:

There must be a 2 hour timeout set somewhere - maybe in a gconf xml file?
I have run a small webserver from my home computer and I can access it fine from computers on my local network, but cannot access it from other networks. I see in wireshark that the traffic is arriving at the computer and I have checked the firewall logs on my computer and nothing is being blocked(I use iptables as a firewall), and I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use XDMCP from an old laptop to login remotely to another computer which is running Debian 6. This seemed to work fine in Debian Lenny, and the laptop screen would switch off after a period of inactivity as I expected. Now the laptop screen blanks after inactivity, but the backlight never switches off.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 2 servers. One is an operational CentOS + cPanel server and the other is a blank CentOS server. I want to use cPanel's backup suite to backup our customers accounts but I want to do it so the blank server is mounted to the cPanel server, rather than an FTP backup. If that makes sense. I believe from previous experience that NFS is the way to go but I'm not sure.

I am playing around with the idea of being able to use a cloud or instance based service to install Ubuntu 9.10 Server. This will enable me to have remote access via SSH command line.So far, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server + Ubuntu Desktop to a virtual machine. I can access this via SSH and locally via the desktop. However, in the real environment the only access I am going to have initially is via SSH.
I would like to be able to connect using Windows Remote Desktop or VNC (whichever is easier and most importantly - most secure) to the machine.. even though the desktop is on there, I need to somehow configure the remote access all from the command line.I've had a read of various forums and have been trawling support forums for days but can't find a working solution for 9.10 Server or that fits my situation above where I will not have any physical access to the desktop or machine to configure remote desktop. It all has to be done via SSH/command line.
I had Xming working great with XDMCP on my Debian 6 server at work. I had to replace the UPS and when I brought the machine back up xming/XDMCP no longer worked correctly. When I launch Xming and connect to XDMCP session I get the Xming window, the X Cursor but the GDM login window never appears. So I am getting some level of connectivity. The only change that was made to the server was that OpenVPN service was turned on. I do not know if this is the right log to be looking at but /var/log/gdm3/:0-greeter.log has this in it a number of times:
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2252): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Error enumerating temporary authorizations: Remote Exception invoking org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.EnumerateTemporaryAuthorizations() on /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority at name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine session the caller is in
I ended up setting up a basic linux file server as a pdc for that office. Our main office is a windows 2000 ads domain. The two offices are connected with a vpn. I only have two users at the new location so I simply have the linux and samba usernames/passwords setup manually. I would like to know if it is possible to setup a domain trust between the two sites so I don't have to create a username/password in the remote site for every user at the main office to access. I did some searching but came up empty.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAlrighty, I have a couple of questions regarding use of the TSC for remote desktop connections. I'm connecting from my Ubuntu Desktop (Lucid) and i'm connecting to my Laptop (Windows 7) i'm running PC Tools Firewall Plus on the windows machine. The window's machine has remote assistance allowed. At the moment i'm just trying to get the TSC to work on my home network. I filled it out as follows:
Computer: Lappy's IP
Protocol: RDPv5
Username: ZachAdmin
Password: *My password*
Domain: Blank
Client Hostname: Blank
Now the first time I tried to connect, about 20ish seconds passed and "The connection has timed out" appears. So I went into my Firewall and sure enough it was blocking the UDP/TCP packets that my desktop was sending. So I temporarily allowed all UDP/TCP packets. Now when I connect "Connection Refused" immediately pops up. I go into my firewall and it's allowed both inbound and outbound packets from my laptop to my desktop and vis versa. So now i'm really stumped.
Meaning: When I use the Connect to Server feature with SSH or FTP, is there a mount point for the remote location? I checked /media and /dev and didn't see anything that looked like my connection. And when I keep hitting the UP arrow in Nautilus I just end up in / on the remote location.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUnder 10.10 the settings dialogue for Remote Desktop said that other machines can connect to this one as kubuntu.local or 192.168.1.85 but after u/g to 11.04 instead of hostname or IP it now just says 'localhost' - which won't work for obvious reasons. I use RD a lot.
Also, despite 'Always display an icon' being checked no icon is displayed in the panel. I tried checking 'Never display an icon' closing the dialogue, re-opening it and re-selecting 'Always display' it still doesn't appear.
i just slammed ubuntu 11.04 onto a spare server i had and im having a real issue with remote desktopping from my Win7 computer, ive checked the settings for the remote desktop server on 11.04 and all seem fine, i go to connect to it using tightVNC from my win7 machine, ask's for password, fill that out then click connect, and as soon as i hit connect it connects for about 1 second, then says there was an error contacting the server, i checked 11.04 and it then says that i can only connect via local host and not the IP address anymore.

I have a Headless SuSE server on an internal netework, my only access to it is remotely, I need remote desktop as a service for all the accounts. Is this possible in KDE4??
I recently started playing w/ remote desktop connections. W/ a lil persistence I have established connections over my network. Only thing is when connecting from my windows machine via (tightvnc viewer), to my linux desktop,(vncserver) I can only seem to get a remote "virtual login". I do not see and have access to the current login. I can however reverse the connection (starting vnc server) on the windows machine adding a client connect and have control of open over the windows system. Any idea's why I can only get a remote login to my linuz box?

First couple times i tried i typed in

After about 15 seconds it would pop back with

I realized that my laptop's firewall was blocking the packets, so i created a custom rule that allows all TCP packets on port 3389. So i fired up rdesktop again. Now it pops back with:

But instantaneously, not after 15 seconds (not sure if thats significant or not.) I checked my firewall's log and it allowed the tcp packets.

So what do I install in the Suse/openSUSE range? I want a lightweight Linux, like Meego or openSUSE with a light Desktop. I need to be able to use remote connections like RDP and VNC to both Linux and windows machines, so maybe Meego can't do that? But maybe openSUSE with a very light Desktop will. I'll use gmail from the netbook, no need for Thunderbird etc. I like to have multimedia.
