I've never even set up a virtual desktop on Windows so I'm not sure where to start. I noticed that there's a menu in Ubuntu to set this up, but I followed the instructions (can't remember what they were off hand) and it said that the computer was only accessible through a LAN. I want to leave the Ubuntu machine (my laptop) at home and be able to access it through my desktop (Win7) in college (long story but I don't think that matters). It's possible to do this, right? How would it be done? I understand that LogMeIn doesn't work with Linux, so I'm guessing I have to use Ubuntu's default virtual desktop program and a Windows program like TightVNC, but I'm not sure how to make the laptop accessible from something other than a local network.
I am new to networking and trying to setup my own local area network using virtual box machines. I have installed BIND 9.7.3 using yum in Fedora (dns server) and created all necessary .conf and zone fil es. I am successfully able to resolve domain names on this host machine (dns server). for example dig @dns.domain.lan client1.domain.lan correctly resolves domain name.
I have a Slicehost VPS and I'm trying to set up PPTPD on it. I only have one IP address (the public IP of the box). All the PPTPD howto's I've seen rely on assigning remote clients IPs from the local subnet (e.g. the PPTD server's local IP is 192.168.0.20, and remote IPs are taken from a pool of 192.168.0.30-40).
However I don't think I can do that as I only have the one IP address on Slicehost's network - that public IP (and all other IPs in the segment are public). So what I really want to do is to be able to create a private LAN segment or virtual network adapter and have VPN clients assigned addresses in that segment, then routed out onto the Internet effectively using the PPTPD box as a router. I am using Ubuntu Hardy (LTS).
I want to buy a laptop with gma 4500hd WHAT I WANT IS
1. 2D AND 3D full support eg compiz, full functional kde4+effects (not to be slow) 2. full hd support 3. oss driver 4. ability for dual head monitor setup
searching in google find out that as fa as it concern the dual head setup there is a limitation on virtual desktop for older gma cards
When I create virtual ethernet interface and do a ping -I <v_int> <host> the outgoing address is the one of the physical interface and NOT the virtual interface.Is there no chance that trafic will go out with virtual interface address??Incoming trafic is done well i.e. responds to the virtual interface have the virtual address.
My problem is that I have 2 modems and want to check both default gw behind the modems. If I do a "normal" ping both are reachable over default route even the modem which is not the default route will not work because ping goes over the working modem.So I have 2 routing tables and want to route the virtual interface to one modem the other to the other modem
Running Ubuntu 9.10. In the Remote Desktop config dialog I get: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 127.0.0.1 or tabatha.local." I understand this means only the loopback ip address is available. All my other machines show their true local ip address (e.g., 192.168.1.104) in this dialog. Thus I cannot log on to this desktop from other machines.
When I try to do a remote logon from another Ubuntu 9.10 box (or from an XP box using a VNC viewer), I get: "Connection to 192.168.1.102 has been closed." What steps are needed to make this machine show its actual ip address? All file sharing between the various machines is working properly and all windows shares back and forth between XP and 'nix, and among the the vaious XP boxes and linux boxes are available as designed.
I want to setup a FAI server for which I was looking for the best method of mirroring the Debian Lenny. I want to setup a local mirror with the best method available for mirroring. If it is ftpsync, please provide me some best ways of doing it. I tried ftpsync mirroring but that was not getting properly working due to insufficient I want this mirror to be accessible in my FAI setup so that I can start the installation on multiple machines and start the updates and package installation to be done from the same local mirror.
I'm new to KDE and am running KDE 4.7.1 on top of Arch Linux. It's fantastic however I have one problem - virtual desktops. Yeah I know there are those "activities" things which people say replace virtual desktops and I will look into them, but for the moment I want to stick with what I know.
And it's almost set up too. In fact, it is, apart from one issue: Say I'm on desktop 3 and I click on the desktop (as in - the bit with my wallpaper, etc, not the little square in my panel) - it immediately switches to desktop 1. Got no idea why I'd want it to do that and it's bugging me.
I have a "remote" server and I want to have it's X exported to my "local" laptop. Preferably, it gets done automatically from boot. I know that virtual terminals 1-6 are all text terminals and 7 is the local X. How can I get my laptop to automatically create a virtual terminal on 12 that's dedicated to receiving the X display from the server?
I know how to get it over SSH/putty. And also how to stop the local and restart the X client on 7 to use the remote. But one of the beauties of Linux is the automation and multi-user environment. It's essentially going to act as a KVM with gui replacement over IP.
I am a newbie trying to enable virtual hosting and run it on a local machine without fqdn. I checked the http://9.9.9.92/ (my IP address) site and saw my (default) page. I would like to virtuly host a asdf.com If virtualy hosting is setup properly - how do I access the new setup? Just type http://asdf.com ? or is there more to it?
I am trying to set up an IRC server on my local network. The Ubuntu wiki tells me to install ircd-hybrid and then try to connect to my server with a chat client.
I tried connecting with irssi on localhost port 6667 but it says "Connection refused on port 6667". The #ubuntu channel told me I have to configure my firewall for that.
I can ssh to localhost with no problem on port 22 but not on 6667 which lets me think the port is blocked.
I have an appliance called my_appliance.raw. To start the appliance locally, I use:
[code]...
After that I would like to ssh into the guest from the host but just the ssh command doesn't work. firewall is disabled on guest. the ip I use is the one that ifconfig shows when I run it on guest. sshd is running.
I am starting to develop websites in Ubuntu. I have set up apache server, php, mysql, and phpmyadmin. I have also set up a local domain for the site. Everything works great with html files, but how do I get Firefox to open .php files instead of trying to save them.
I have (adsl router "rebotic") and we are 3 nodes sharing Internet the question is: want make network (exchange files) between me (ubuntu os) and one of my internet members ,and I don't know how can I set up network between us in ubuntu.
I have downloaded the Apache web server so I can set up a local web server to test my PHP pages. The download automatically went into the default "Downloads" folder instead of the /opt folder where the Apache instructions said to download the file to. I have tried to move the file from the Downloads folder to the /opt folder but am denied access - says I don't have enough privileges (or some such thing?). Bummer.
So I tried to use the terminal to install the file that I downloaded from Apache (following their instructions - actually copied/pasted the command line so there would be no typo problem) - no joy.
The first thing I was instructed to do was to enter the su command, which I did, and was asked for a password. I have tried every password I have ever used on this system and I receive the following:
su: Authentication failure
and it returns me to the prompt. What is my password?
I checked the archives for similar problems and came up with zero relevant hits.
I am trying to setup a DNS server on my local network. When I set linux clients to use it, it works as expected. However, when I set windows clients to it, the root name doesn't resolve. For example, I have a zone called daniel. On linux "anything.daniel" resolves to the correct ip as does "daniel" which is the behavior I want. However, on windows 7, "anything.daniel" resolves correctly, but "daniel" doesn't. I am new to BIND9 so my config is mostly copy and pasted. Here is my zone file for daniel (where #.#.#.# is the ip I want daniel to resolve to):
@ IN SOA ns1.daniel. admin.daniel. ( 2007031001 28800 3600
i am new to linux,its been a month since i have started using it, neways my question is on how i could run virtual box(xp sp2) under my fedora12? i am using a desktop computer with 1 gb memory!
I'm trying to setup a NAS for my network, the only problem is that I can't figure out how to do it. On my network I have about 3 computers however only I only use 2 of them so I thought that maybe I could use the third computer in such a way that I could access it 24/7 from the internet as a server for all of my files (school papers, music etc etc...). The only problem is that I don't know where to get started. Both of the computers I'm currently using are Windows and the one that I,hopefully, can turn into a server is running on Ubuntu.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit. I am trying to set up a virtual machine on it using vmbuilder. As I understand, I need to set up bridging. If I set up br0, then I cannot get out of the machine. Even a ping to 192.168.1.1 (my gateway) comes back as network unreachable. If I comment out #auto br0, then I can get out (on eth0), but i get an error from libvirt. My /etc/network/interfaces file (eth0 networking works, but libvirt does not):
#auto eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.154 netmask 255.255.255.0
I have servera.domain.internal which has port 80 forwarded to the web as example.com. I have serverb.domain.internal which I want to forward on port 80 as subdomain.example.com. How to Show Apache server behind an apache server? How do I setup the virtual host on the internet exposed server? This is ubuntu 8.04
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 server as a guest on a Windows 7 host using VirtualBox. I've set the VirtualBox configuration to use a Bridged network connection so that I can access the internet through the Ubuntu guest and to access the Ubuntu apache server through my Windows host.This is all running on my laptop which connects to various routers using dhcp (some ip addresses start with 198. while others start with 10.) What I need is a single static ip address (or hostname/url) to setup my cms (drupal).how I can accomplish this given the varying routers the laptop connects to?
I have a non-root account on a shared server, on which the system administrators do not support printing because of past experience with stalled and runaway jobs. For the same reason, they do not allow installation of a user-land spooler. How can I set up printing without a local queue?
I am using Debian for MySQL Replication for HighAvailability.I want to set the virtual ip for my two debian machine so that Heartbeat can switch from one machine to another.
I did that by using the command
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.2 up
but it didnt persist after the reboot.and also I can not give the same ip in both the machine. How can I assign same virtual IP for both the machine?
I have installed Ubuntu on four machines at work and have been blown away. On my machine I have Apache setup for web development and other machines can "see" it using my IP address. I would like to have it so they can access by the name of my computer though. I have no local DNS server so I guess I need to hard code the relationship in each machine? Ideally I'd actually like to be able to use subdomains (which I use locally to avoid annoying .htaccess path problems). i.e. from another machine on the network to go to [URL].
i have a Linux Box running RHEL and has no internet connection, hence i need to setup a local repository which i can be able to install packages together with their dependencies.
I have 4 domains registered through godaddy. I have a dell poweredge box with one static IP hosted somewhere. I want the 4 domain to resolve to four different sites. I have already created 4 different sites in apache with four different aliases and has enabled it.
eg alias /a /var/www/a alias /b /var/www/b alias /c /var/www/c
I tried with godaddys forward with masking option. It works but I can't hide xx.xx.xx.xx/a in the links. Whats the best approach? One limitation is I cannot use the webhosts name servers. How do I set this up with name based virtual hosting? Do I setup a DNS server in the box?
I do have a dns host name for my box which is publicy accessible. Some my.ca.examplehost.net
I am setting up a virtual server on CentOS that I want to use as a VPN endpoint. How much resorce should I allocate to the virtual server ? I'm not expecting it to do anything else other than host a small VPN, traffic will be medium / light. I'm tempted to give it minimum ram and drive space.
