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.
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?
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 have ubuntu 10.04 lucid i used gnome-file-share-properties to enable remote desktop i have samba i have ping from remote computer to my ip address and computer name and etc but still i can't connect remotely via rdp or at least not via windows xp rdp what do i need to fix to enable this?
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?

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 have a computer at another house that i would like to controll from my house (both run ubuntu lucid lynx) how do i connect to the other computer using the viewer and remote server pre-installed in ubuntu
I have my Linux box in my Lan environment. I want to connect my Linux computer remotely from my windows PC using command line . how can I connect it remotely over the Lan ?
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 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 am trying to connect to serial console, local one, just to verify than it works, is is possible?Well, I configure serial console
Code:
# ttyS0 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on ttyS0 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again.
[code]...
It is started, now I am trying to connect to the console via minicom, is it possible from machine where the console is running?If not, how could I check it remotely?
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.
I succeeded in setting up a vnc server on a fedpra9 tested it locally and it was successfully connected but no connection done from other machine in the network , even though they can see each othervnc server is pingable se linux is disabled
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?
I've been using transdroid on my nexus one to access transmission successfuly for some time now. But transmission is just too limited for what I really want. I really like either deluge or ktorrent and want to use them but this far I haven't been able to access either one remotely via transdroid. I'd greatly appreciate and advice anyone can offer.
I'm at work right now but can go into further details once I get home if need be. I've set up the webui plugin via the preferences menu in ktorrents settings and just can't get transdroid to connect.
I am new to Xen Hypervisor and wanted to know if someone has any good guides to configuring it please. Also once i configure a Guest OS how can i connect to it remotely via a windows and linux machine?
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?
I have Debian installed in embedded PC which is in a vehicle . This PC collects information related to engine .This pc is connected to internet using Verizon USB 175 modem.i connect to internet uing Wvdial.

This issue was prompted by Groupwise MTA not communicating with a Post Office that I had migrated to our first Linux box. I found out why, because I cannot communicate with it at all, other than through ethernet. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've checked the firewall and opened up all the ports that I'm trying to communicate on.ve made sure Apache is loaded
I'm not terribly new to Linux, but I am new to the forums, so hear me out! I am in the process of creating an electronic mapwall for our meteorology program, and have designed the computing system from scratch. I have two Linux Boxes, each with capabilities for 6 attached monitors...a total of 12 displays driven from two machines. My intention is to have one machine be the master...it has a touchpanel control. The inputs to the touchpanel will then trigger events for the both the master and the slave machine to display. Each of them has a specific IP address (DNS entry), and are not on a subnet.
Now...is there a way to remotely login to the slave machine and have it display on it's OWN monitors? The code is Java and which works on the master machine to animate directories of .gifs for each of the master's attached monitors. I will most likely have Java execute shell commands for the remote login (ssh), but I believe the answer lies somewhere in the X-configuration. Do I have the machines in an adverse configuration (creation of a subnet would be better)? Lots of questions...lots of desire...few answers!
I tried to install vsftpd on my server and while the installation went fine, I can't run
Code: restart vsftpd As I the get error Code:
restart: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Though I'm able to restart the service with
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart with a warning telling me to use the service utility. Not only that, but despite the port being open it won't allow me to log in, it just hangs, and I have local users enabled (I've used the default .conf file). Does dbus not come installed in 10.04, and if I did install it would it make a difference for restarting the service? Are there further steps needed not available in the tutorial on the Ubuntu Server Guide for 10.04 to enabling local user authentication? -edit- Figured it out, dbus wasn't installed, vsftpd is working fine now.
I am trying to setup a dhcp server for my internal network. I have two NICs, a modem, and a wireless router. I have my server connected directly to my modem which is providing me with Internet access on eth1 and is working fine. I have dhcp and dns setup on eth0 which is connected to my router. The router shows that it is connected to the Internet but when the router gives a client computer an IP address, the client is unable to connect to the Internet but can connect to the router. I will post my configuration files below with my current configuration.
