Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux (Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is not locked up :-) ) with Samba. What is the best VNC like application to

Folks I'm looking for a way to access a GUI desktop on a Centos 7 server from a Windows client. I have tried: - X2go from EPEL (fails immediately, apparently they are working on a solution, but...) - Freenx (doesn't exist for EL7) Both the above work fine with Centos 6. I'm looking for a solution that works over the internet from afar. My earlier posting failed to mention this.

Just to error test my own thinking here, there seems to be the following options for remote graphical access to a running domian vm. Besides the normal network service via a port and a raw console, the options are straight X, VNC, and XN. X - supports a single X window running on a local XServer, tied to a single process on the remote system. No remote desktop VNC - comes in two flavors of

I am nearing the end of a project that moved our disparate services and hosts onto kvm virtualized servers. What I am now contemplating is setting up my desktop as a virtual host and using one of the guests as my primary workstation. However, I am not sure how this would work in practice. I am accustomed to working with virtual instances via ssh (a terminal window) and with my desktop system in

Hi all, I'm looking for pointer for setting up VNC so that access to the system is via gdm/kdm. Yes, I know about vino, and /etc/sysconfig/vncservers but what I'm looking for is a sertup that allows me to see the *dm login screen instead of being dropped direct into a desktop. Thanks in advance

Hi all, I am new to CentOS and freeNX -- both look really awesome, a huge thanks to all the people making them happen. I am having a problem with freenx that appears to be specific to centos 5. my client authenticates but then no desktop comes up. however, when I connect to a similar machine running centos 4.4, I authenticate and the gnome desktop just pops up sweet as can be. I also have a vnc

Hello, I am having problems getting freenx running in CentOS 4.5 i386_64. I know this is not a new problem, however, I havn't found a solution in all the postings I found on the web. I did exactly what is supposed to work and described in detail at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/FreeNX After doing that I can connect to the server with nxcleint without problem but I get only a black

Hi, Anybody please tell me how to have a PV Linux with graphics? I succesfully created some PV Linux with debootstrap and xen-tools. But then all the images must be started with "xm create -c" command, and everything then is console, with no X Window. In short, I want to have PV Linux, but with X. How to do that? Thanks, H _______________________________________________ Xen-users

Hi, I've setup a small LAN of two desktops running CentOS 5 in a medical office. Both are connected to the Internet via a small modem/router. Recently I played around with FreeNX on my own desktop, and I'd like to install it on these two computers. On my PC, I just redirected port 22 in the router, so SSH (and thus FreeNX) requests from the outside get redirected to my desktop PC.

I have been dragging my feet on remote display, and have just gotten VNC going to have SOMETHING to move off the start line. But I need the 'best' for different situations, so I want to rate them. 1 to 3 where 1 is the 'best' for the catagory and 3 the loser.

Can anyone comment on the best remote GUI approach for C7 yet? X2goserver is in epel but when I tried it on the RHEL beta it only worked with a KDE desktop due to the 3d requirement of Gnome3. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hi I suceeded to run freenx on centos3 with the nomachine client, but I still have some issues. First I can only get a new whole desktop (kde) session. I cannot resume it, and it always leave tons of process that I have to kill from root. I don't need the whole kde desktop, and only want to have single windows. This is called the rootless mode I think and cannot make it work, it simply

Normally I use VNC-over-SSH to provide a complete desktop to a remote user. Is there a way to provide a single application to a user instead of a complete desktop? In this case I am looking for a method to provide remote report-viewing access to LedgerSMB for a company's outside accountant. LedgerSMB runs through a web browser (i.e. http://localhost/ledgersmb) so he doesn't need or want

Hi all, I have installed a CentOS7 vm in my home server with all graphical tools installed: Gnome, Chrome, Tor Borwser, etc. My idea is to run these graphical applications from two MacOSX desktops. What I am looking for is something similar like Microsoft RDP services that supports copy and paste between client and server, sound, clipboard, etc ... I have seen a possible solution using xrdp:

Hi, I've been using Conky for some time, a nifty utility to monitor just about anything on the PC. Vital things like CPU, RAM, swap, disks, current song playing in MPD :o) Here's what it looks like : http://www.microlinux.fr/images/bureau_conky.png And with more detail : http://www.microlinux.fr/images/conky_zoom.png Now I wonder... I'd really like to use that to monitor my

Hi, is there a way to make sure a file is installed only if a certain package is installed on the client? e.g. I want to distribute the client key for NX via puppet. However I only want to install these files if package ''freenx'' is installed on the client. I tried adding ''require => package["freenx"]'' but then puppetd complains it

Has anyone built a freenx 7.3 for Centos 5? I'd like to be able to use the session shadow mode on some machines. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
