Ubuntu Networking :: Finding A Useable Remote Desktop That Works Like Microsofts's RDP?
Sep 12, 2010I'm looking for a useable remote desktop solution that works like Microsoft's RDP.The included "remote desktop" vnc server in Ubuntu doesn't work because every time I want to log in remotely, I have to first go sit down in front of the machine running ubuntu, log in, disable desktop effects, then manually adjust the desktop resolution to fit the target guest machine. I can't really do that if I'm on my laptop at the airport.
Some things I have tried:NoMachine NX does not work because once I've launched applications remotely on my laptop there's no way to get them back once I'm at the machine locally. Also, there's a sound feature, but it doesn't work. Remote X11 doesn't work for the same reasons.
1. I need to be able to launch an application remotely, then when I get home, go sit at the machine locally and use that application there without having to re-launch it.
2. I need to be able to hear the sound playing on the remote computer.
3. I need it to work with desktop effects enabled.
Essentially, I want it to "just work" the way Windows' Remote Desktop works.
Software :: Finding A Remote Desktop Application That Will Work With OpenGL
Nov 22, 2010I need to be able to open an openGL based piece of software remotely (like Maya or 3D Studio Max, for example). The server will be a linux machine (CentOS, currently, fwiw), but the client should be able to run on at least Linux and Windows. This will happen over the internet as opposed to over a LAN.
So far, I've tried
- "NoMachine NX" which is pretty good, but it seems to have some issues with GL. Maybe this can be fixed in xorg on the server (disabling overlays or something like that)? not sure.
- HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) which works fairly well with Cent & Windows, though is sometimes a little slow. It also doesn't seem to be happy on Ubuntu, which is a pretty big bummer. It's also a bummer that it's somewhat expensive. That said, it's still the front-runner.
- VNC which was very slow.
It's imperative that it can transmit very complex rendered OpenGL properly. It's ok if it's slow to tumble/refresh, but it should be correct.

Feb 10, 2011I'm relatively new to linux. I was wondering if there is any program available that will remotely access my iPhone. I have seen programs that let me controll my PC using my iPhone but i would like the other way around. The girlfriend doesn't have internet access at home and she's always texting me. Well if I find a program that lets me remotely access my device I can text her back without leaving the keyboard.

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Login To Gdm After Remote Restart
Feb 6, 2011I maintain plain vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 systems for several friends. Each machine has only one user, the owner. I use Remote Desktop to instruct and to perform maintenance. Here's my problem:After updating the system, if the kernel has changed, a restart is needed. If I do a restart, I then have to phone the owner to insert his login credentials in the gdm login screen, before I can do anything else via Remote Desktop on that machine.There ought to be a simple way I can avoid the phone call and login myself.
I'd strongly prefer not to use any software that is not included in a plain vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 installation. And I don't want to weaken system security beyond what it is now.Is there a solution? Or, what is the simplest solution?
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sony FP - No Display But Desktop Accessible Via Remote Desktop?
Mar 18, 2010I'm working on getting my myth box hooked up to my Sony flat panel display.Originally the nvidia drivers could not read the EID, so defaulted to only 640x480 over my HDMI-DVI connection.I manually updated xorg.conf with a mode for the resolution I know the thing can handle. Suddenly there are several resolutions avaialble in nvidia-settings and it seems to be communicating with the TV, as it is now listed as a Sony FP display rather than a CRT.I'm able to change the resolution now as expected.my problem, however, lies with the TV itself. I can't seem to get it to actually display the output. I'm able to remote desktop into the box and can see Gnome logged in and everything.However nothing on the TV itself.How do I troubleshoot this? Am I missing something obvious?

Nov 20, 2010I have my main box, Ubuntu 10.04lts, and I am trying to use remote desktop viewer to see the desktop on a Windows XP machine. The machines are side by side The Ubuntu box is hardwired to my network router, and the XP machine is connected via wireless. Both get to the internet fine, and I can ping the Ubuntu box from the XP box. But, I cannot ping the XP box from the Ubuntu box, and Remote Desktop Viewer won't establish a connection to the VNC server I have running on the XP box.

Jun 21, 2010I have a Asus eee box eb1501u running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit) and I am trying to get the remote control to work. Many guides for example this one http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...eeBox_PC_EB150 first states that you should run code...
Before I removed the Windows 7 installation I tested the remote in Windows to make sure it worked and it did. I cant see that there is a possibility to turn on or off the IR-device in the bios settings!? I would really like to make it work in Kubuntu to. I'm pretty n00bish at Linux but I think I can figure it out if someone would point me in the right direction.
Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Without Opening New Desktop Session
Nov 25, 2010I am using 2 PCs, both running ubuntu. I want to connect via remote desktop (vnc, ssh -X, etc) form one to the other. However, what the solutions I found until now offer me, is the possibility to create a new desktop session and view that one (or run an application an view that one). I have an application running on the server, and I want to see that application, without needing to restart it or running it again in a new desktop. Is this possible?

Apr 8, 2011I am trying to setup my HTPC. I wanted to have the most minimal overhead possible so I installed Ubuntu 10.10 server from the mini.iso and just added the ssh option. I then used the following command to give me a desktop environment because I will want to run firefox and it apparently requires this to run.
Here is the command that I ran:apt-get install xorg gnome-core gdm gnome-applets gnome-system-tools gnome-utils ubuntu-artwork compiz-gnome firefox sysv-rc-conf.The desktop works fine and I can open fire fox, however, the remote desktop is missing from the preferences menu.How can I install this? I would like to add the remote desktop option from a command line.
Ubuntu :: Login Through Remote Desktop And Show Same Desktop
Jul 19, 2011I have set up a server running ubuntu desktop, and I'm able to logon through remote desktop (win 7). The problem is that if I logon from computer 1 and open some programs, I don't see these programs when I logon from computer 2.I logon with the same user, so I find this strange. Is there some setting I have missed to be able to see the same from any computer (logon through remote desktop).

Dec 14, 2009I have VMware server installed on this machine. I also have a Windows XP VM running all the time. I have it bridged so it gets a valid IP from my router and such and is in my network. I use KRDC to remote desktop to it and I make it full screen. However if I want to go back to my desktop I have to minimize KRDC.
Is there a RPD client out there I can use so I can go full screen on 1 desktop and have everything else on another desktop then use KDE's Desktop switcher or ctrl+alt+arrow keys to switch between desktops to flip between Windows XP and Linux without having to minimize?
Software :: Cross-platform Remote Control - Remote Desktop Software
Jan 20, 2010I've been using Linux on a more regular basis for the last two months now and have been able to find replacements for most of the software i use in Windows, or by using Wine. But i have one big problem that is keeping me from switching permanently to Linux. I frequently use remote control software to access and control my computers, both at home and to access my computers from remote places over the internet. I've been using NetOp, and more recently RealVNC. The client, or "viewer" part of RealVNC is working fine in both Windows and Linux. It's the host or server part that i can't get to work properly when it comes to VNC. The vnc.so module doesn't work on my system, x0vncserver program seems rather useless since it refuses to load before i have a network connection and this prevents me from start the program automatically as the wireless connection isn't ready and the vncserver command isn't an option since it doesn't display what i see on the actual screen. So, does anyone have a nice solution to this problem? Either to make VNC work or suggest some software that does. Anyway, it has to work on both Windows and Linux, in Linux it has to display the native x display, there must be built-in encryption and preferably be free or open-source software. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Finding 11.04 Unity Desktop Alternative?
May 16, 2011Having been totally happy with Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 but after a recent fresh install of 11.04 I find myself extremely stressed out with the desk top.I absolutely hate the unity desktop. It's flakey, unreliable, with random mouseclick issues, random application crashes and poor performance both in the increased time it now takes me to navigate to the apps that I want to fire up and in terms of really slow rendering of menus.It's awkward to start up multiple apps (I typically have my IDE, eMail client, browser, ssh terminals to remote servers and at least one terminal running at any one time)
I use my system as a serious development platform and I have come to the conclusion that 11.04 in it's default configuration format (and also with the classic log in being just as flakey) has to go. It's costing me too much in lost development time.So I'm faced with a decision, move back to using 10.10, stick with 11.04 but find a very much better desktop alternative to unity (and I don't mean the classic log in options as already explained) or I ditch Ubuntu in favour of an alternative distribution.
Ubuntu Installation :: Finding A Copy Of 11.04 Desktop Beta1 Amd64 To Download?
Apr 29, 2011I am looking for a copy of 11.04 desktop beta1 amd64 to download. This is running on an x120e. Beta1 installs and works but freezes every few hours. Beta2 almost fully installs but pops up with a friendly error that says "installation has failed" with not much helpful in the syslogs. 11.04 Final kernel panics half way through installation.
At this point, I've tried almost everything, so I'm just trying to get back on Beta1 to get stable because this is my work computer. There are a lot of links on google, but every single one went dead as soon as final was released. After that, I will work on trying to get 11.04 final installed properly.
Ubuntu :: Can't Remote Desktop From 10.04 To 10.04?
Oct 21, 2010I have 2 ubuntu machines. I used to use the ubuntu's remote desktop program to work remotely from home on my office box, but since I installed 10.04 it remotes in ok but nothing gets changed on the screen when I click. I see the mouse move fine. If I click on something and then drive to the office I see the remote screen was in fact clicked on with random windows open, depending on what i was clicking on. Why is the screen not refreshing?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: SSH Into Desktop On Remote Network
Jan 21, 2010I've run into a bit of a problem with an attempt to remotely admin a friend's computer. Here's the basic layout:
--My Ubuntu is connected via wireless router, port 22 forwarded properly. I can ssh in and out as I please to other hosts.
--Across the internet, their Eeebuntu is behind a router as well. Port 22 may or may not be properly forwarded. Nobody in that house really knows how to access their router. (I accept this may be an issue I'll need to handle)
What I'd like to do:First priority, ssh access to the remote Eeebuntu.Assuming the remote router does not forward port 22, would I be able to have the remote computer remote forward, say my local port 10022 to remote 10022, thus allowing me to ssh user@localhost:10022 and bypass the need to access the router?
Lower priority, prepare a bash script for my friend to download that would require one input of the root password, and go through the full process of installing OpenSSH, setting up the server, and initiating contact to my computer. The ideal situation is allowing my friend to start the computer, run one script, type in one password, and walk away.Any ideas for better remote admin options are welcome, as well as comments/suggestions from anyone who has attempted this backwards form of ssh access.
Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop With No Monitor?
Feb 11, 2010I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I can do remote desktop into the system with a monitor attached but when I reboot the system without a monitor attached I am unable to do remote desktop into it.
I want to use this system as a headless system and only use remote desktop to control it.
So I guess I need to start X and gnome without a monitor attached.
What do I need to do to get this to run?

Ubuntu :: No Keyboard When Using Remote Desktop?
May 6, 2010i installed 10.04. when i try to dial into my work pc using my work VPN which uses Sonicwall using SSL-VPN technology. It works fine using older versions of Ubuntu, other linux versions, and XP or Vista. Using 10.04, I can login just fine, but when I get into the remote desktop, my keyboard does not work. the mouse works fine. I am using the newest version of java (1.6-20) with Ubuntu 10.04. I don't think I am using this version of java in the other linux versions, so I'm not sure if this is a problem with java, Ubuntu, or something else. i got the kb to work by pressing cntl-J, typing stty sane, then ctrl-J again, which is something I remembered from a long time ago..

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Configuration +more?
Jul 16, 2010remote desktop requires authentication on server side when trying to login remotely via VNC. I have the option set to not require confirmation of each access to the machine, I set a password that the user must enter from the client side.just testing this locally over my LAN, VNC connects and asks for a password(the user field is blank; might be nice to have to enter a valid username and password so I don't have to share a general password). after entering the password on the client, a window pops up on the server 'An application wants access to the keyring Default but it is locked' and requires me to enter a password, which once I do then the VNC gets control and all is good... but obviously if I am trying to remote further than down the hall this won't work.
Ideally I would like to remote into ubuntu desktop with account credentials from the server and require no physical person at the server to allow access. I currently have an XP pro box setup this way with remote desktop and works flawlessly. I want to keep it true to the same functionality where when I log in remotely it joins a session with applications already running, such as a web browser and mail client, with those applications left running when I logout of the remote session. its not all that important if it locks the server side locally as there will eventually be no physical access to the machine once its been setup.
as you may have noticed I am fairly new to linux, but very willing to learn. my primary reason to move to the linux platform is that I am hoping it will provide better performance than windows XP/windows 7 when I upgrade the box to an atom based mainboard. any other thoughts or recommendations on my planned setup would be greatly appreciated as well.just to be clear, the 'server' is ubuntu desktop and client side is generally windows XP, windows 7, windows server (I work almost exclusively on windows boxes)

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Remote Desktop And OpenSSH ?
Aug 22, 2010Set up my mom with Ubuntu and want to be able to connect to her computer remotely to help her out when she has a question. I did some search and it seems that everyone recommends using openSSH. I used this link [url]
To install it on my mom's computer (changed the port to 16 instead of 22 and added those lines he suggested to the end of that file). Now what? I can't seem to find any instruction to connect the two computers. Looking around I also found:
1- Remote Desktop Viewer
2- Terminal Server Client
under applications/internet and
3- Remote Desktop under preferences
It looks like I can use those to connect also. But are they related to openSSH? Should I uninstall openSSH and use 1,2 or 3? Which is moe secure or are they the same.
Ubuntu :: Can't Use Remote Desktop Over The Internet
Oct 8, 2010I want to be able to use my desktop from work over VNC but it won't let me connect. In the Remote Desktop Preferences I have "Allow other users to view your desktop" checked and I also have "Allow other users to control your desktop" checked. But it says below that "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.1.10 or brownserver.local."
Under the Security section I have "Require user to enter this password" checked and I've filled in a password for it.
I've also port forwarded port 5900 to my desktop on my router so that shouldn't be an issue either. When I attempt to connect over the internet from my laptop I get a message that says that the connection was refused. So I think my request is at least making it to the desktop, it's just that the desktop doesn't want to allow it.
One quick question though....I'm not sure, but I might have changed the default port on which VNC is listening on this machine. I don't remember if I did or not. And if I did, I don't remember how I did it. Could someone point me in the proper direction to see which port remote desktop is listening on?
