Frozen desktop with W7 VMs provided via VirtualBox RDP

Hi,
I'm seeing a strange issue that every now and then the desktop of W7 VM just freezes. The screen just doesn't refresh anymore. The desktops come from VirtualBox using VirtualBoxes RDP. Guest additions are installed (no 3D accelaration).
This sometimes happens before the login screen so the spinning circle just sits there not spinning any more, sometimes it happens after a few hours of work in that VM.
If I terminate the SunRay session (ctrl-alt-bs bs) and login again I get the next still image from the VM.
This also happens when I use a RDP client to connect directly the VMs RDP port. I suspect the culprit is somewhere in the VRDP part.
What helps to revive the VM is to change the desktop resolution (right click desktop, terminate rdp client, reconnect, click resolution in the menu, terminate rdp client, reconnect, open resolution drop down, terminate rdp client, reconnect, select resolution, click ok button twice (to close drop down and to click ok) after that the client gets the new resolution and screen refresh is working again.
Has somebody seen that behaviour? Any other workarounds? Is there an easier way to change the resolution when coming from a SunRay2 DTU? Should ctrl-alt-+/- work like it does on Xorg?
Time to open a ticket, or did I just miss a doc or did something stupid? ;-)

I'll try to setup another box with a more recent VBox as desktop provider and see if that works better...

  • How do I share desktop with Lion user?

    So prior to installing Mountain Lion, I provided tech support to my mom by sharing her desktop via iChat. Now though, I can't figure out how to share her desktop. I'm using Mountain Lion, she still has Lion. So she doesn't have Messages and I don't have iChat. I can't even send her a text message, because Messages says she's not registered with iMessage. All the documentation I can find about sharing desktops on Mountain Lion says that you can share desktops with someone else on your same network, but I can't find anything about sharing desktops over the internet like we used to do with iChat. If I can avoid walking her through installing a VNC client, I would really like that.

    Hi Wade,
    You seem to be describing an @me.com name that you used for iChat and was a MobileMe and now is an iCloud name.
    This "Account" should be active in Mail, Contacts and Calendars for Messages
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    As far as the AIm Servers are concerned the @mac.com name and the @me.con iCloud Name  are in fact separate AIM Screen Names.
    If your Buddies are in the @mac.com Buddy List they will not appear in the @me.com name you have linked it to at Apple.
    That is to say If I had an @mac.com and an @Me.com name  AIM would see them as separate Screen Names.
    One stage further:-
    ralphjohnsr (AIM registered name)
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    are three separate AIM "Accounts" 
    (They are also three separate Buddies if you were adding them to Your Buddy list - although only one of them is real)
    You said your mother does not have Messages.
    Only Messages can send iMessages  (The Apple iD you have set up for this may or may not be an iCloud ID)
    iChat cannot accept iMessages.
    If she has iOS 5.x.x on her iPhone (depending on the level of technology you have managed to get her to embrace) then you could send her iMessages that way.
    SO...
    Your Message > Preferences > Accounts  should list the iMessages "Account" and those iChat ones you had
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    An iCloud name that is the iMessages Account name may also need to be added as an "AIM" iChat type Account.
    If the Jabber ID is only used at work and is not going to be used then you can untick the Messages item next to it in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars or Untick the "Enable this Account" in Messages > Preferences > Accounts.

  • If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?

    I have several friends and family who are looking for a central place to access information from ( Pictures, home movies etc ).  So I am considering setting up an OSX Lion Server.  There are some other things I can use it for as well.
    Here is my question:
    If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?  Or would I have to install the Admin software on each?  Do they intend it to be used strictly as one admin to access many clients? 
    I always could set up a network drive so they can log in and just see the folders they have created with space on the server I provide them.  But I want them to be able to log an and actually use it as a Remote Desktop.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Dave,
    Thanks for the feedback.  I understand that ARD is meant for Remote Administration, but I was not sure if it could be used for my purpose as well.  The reason I was looking to do it this was was because I read several articles online about security and performance issues with setting up VNC and activating screen sharing.  Unless I am misunderstood. 
    As far as people's activities on the server, mostly it is going to be used as a place for them to store their media.  I will only allow own person ( Who I trust and I know wont botch the server ), to run applications.  Everyone else will be restricted to uploading and downloading content to their designated account on the server as well as a community share on the server.
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

  • WIn 7 PRO to Win 7 PRO Remote Desktop with matching 1920x1080 Dual Monitors

    I have done quite a bit of looking and still do not know if  WIn 7 PRO can connect to a to Win 7 PRO  with Remote Desktop with matching  1920x1080 Dual Monitors. It seems like it cannot use dual monitors by the HELP file.  But
    then why does it have  "Use all of my monitors for the remote session" as a selection in the Connection settings ? Just what is the real answer ? Both systems are 64 bit.   If the answer is YES.   Please tell me how !

    Hello i-wonder-why,
    To use this Remote Desktop Multimon feature, you must:
    1.Connect using the Remote Desktop Client 7.0 (mstsc.exe) available initially on Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2.
    2.Enable Multimon using one of the three methods described below:
    a. Click “Use all monitors for the remote session” in the client (mstsc.exe) window.
    b. Use the “/multimon” switch on the mstsc.exe command line.
    c. Add “Use Multimon:i:1” to the RDP file.

  • How to set up an clasic TS-desktop with Windows 2012 (R2)?

    Hi,
    How to set up an clasic TS-desktop with Windows 2012 (R2)?
    Witch Roles and Features do I need, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker, RD Licensing?
    /SaiTech

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Based on your description provided, I can understand that you want to setup RDS server 2012 R2 and want information how to achieve that. If misunderstood then please correct.
    If yes, then there is different option related to setup. There are 2 option for configuring. 
    1. Role based or Feature based installation
    2. Remote Desktop services installation
    For normal RDS environment, you can use 2nd option and then perform Quick start Deployment where 3 roles can be installed RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host and RD Web access. After this you can also publish RemoteApp and can use. 
    You can refer following article for more information.

    What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:
    Mac OS X 10.5.8

    It will depend on the actual model you have.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99 while Mavericks is free. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory

  • P1102w Can't get Installed On Windows 7 Desktop with wireless

    My Laser Jet P1102w has worked find with my children's Window 7 laptops.  My spouse got a Windows machine desktop with wireless and I cannot get it to work with this printer.  I used the disc with the software download.   I get to where you plug it into the computer and it does not recognise it at all.   I checked the USB ports, it sees the flash drive I plug in.  The laptops still see the printer plugged into the USB port.  I uninstalled everything, tried the download on line, unistalled everything, tried it all again, unplugged the printer numerous times to reset.  Any ideas? 
    I am adding this later in the day:
    I got it to work!  I erased all downloads for hp, uninstalled all hp programs, shut down the computer and the printer (also unplugged the printer).  Started up the computer, put the driver disc in, selected the network printer option for wifi, reinstalled without plugging in the printer.  I am so glad it works finally after hours of working on this.  Just wanted to add what worked for any who have this issue.  

    Hi guys!  Had the same issue with a client.  Just found the solutions brainstorming (and the red bull helped!!)  This is tested on a Windows x64 machine sharing the printer on the network and attempting to connect via a Windows XP machine.  The printer has been previously shared amongst other Windows 7 x64 machine successfully.
    The solution is to install the HP Universal Printer Driver - PCL5 version on the machine where the printer is connected locally FOR THE SAME PRINTER THUS CREATING A SECOND PRINTER USING THE UNVERSAL DRIVER.
    After downloading the file, it will unzip and start the installation.  Choose the existing printer using the same port ( it will say ie DOT4 - HP Laserjet 2200).  Once it completes, unclick [ ] Set as default and complete the operation.  Now go to the Printers listing.  Under the HP Lasterjet 2200 printer there should be two printers listed - one using the Windows 7 x64 biut driver and the other using the HP Universal driver
    Now, on the Windows XP machine, use the same Universal Printer Drviver and find the printer by browsing the network for the computer.  You should see the HP Universal Printer.  Select it and continue with the installation.  Once completed, print a test page.    PRESTO!!!
    Hope it works.  In the middle of a my runs so if you need more elaboration, give me a bit to answer back.

  • Replace PC desktop with a notebook (MacBook)?

    Would I notice an appreciable loss of performance in LR if I replace a desktop PC with a low-end MacBook?
    Or in other words
    Is LR performance affected much by whether the catalogue is stored on a dedicated internal 7200RPM drive or a USB 2 external drive?
    ]Yes, I know this sort of thing gets asked all the time. But I have hunted around and haven't found what I am looking for (not helped by the pretty ordinary interface of this forum).
    ]And no, I'm not that interested in hearing "Macs rule, PCs suck"-type responses. This is probably more a question of "desktop with internal drives v. laptop with external drives", but if I am ever going to swap platforms now is probably the time, and I may as well provide all relevant information.
    More info if necessary ...
    I have a nine month old PC desktop that I use for LR, browsing, email, etc. 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 2x 320GB 7200rpm drives (one dedicated to photos and LR database), running XP Pro SP2, hooked up to a 22" Philips CRT.
    I have a 25000-odd photo LR catalogue, with another 15000 photos waiting to be added.
    If I get a MacBook I envisage mothballing the PC (too hard trying to keep two different computers in sync, let alone trying to constantly swap between two different OS's).
    I would likely get the 2Ghz base model, immediately upgrade the RAM to 4GB, and replace the HDD with a 320GB model (all up cost about the same as the new mid-range model). I am keen to limit costs, and as the MacBook will simply sit on my desk, plugged into my existing CRT, for 98% of the time I don't think I can justify a MacBook Pro.
    If the consensus is that purchasing a MacBook as a sole computer isn't such a good idea, then I'll probably get a cheap Dell laptop, with XP, for the few occasions I need the portability, and keep my existing desktop as my primary computer.
    Is this a no-brainer, or is my caution justified?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to all who didn't get too sidetracked for your help ;-)
    I am currently typing this on my brand spanking new 2.4GB MBP*, ready to be hooked up to my twelve month old 22" CRT when I start using Lightroom with it. Yet to buy any external drives, but on the basis of what I read here, and a bit more fishing around on the web, I'm almost certainly going to go down the 3 1/2" route, using a physical cable connection.
    Now just juggling (and comments certainly appreciated):
    1)what connection? And user experience with USB2 v FW400 v FW800 (v ethernet v wireless v eSata)? USB2 drives seem considerably cheaper than FW, for real-world negligible differences. BUt haven't read, or at least recalled, any LR users comments on this
    2) what capacity for secondary backup drive if employing Time Machine? (How much capacity over the actual space you might otherwise expect to fill in 12 months)
    * After looking further into the Australian taxation system and the bids on 12 month-old second-hand MacBooks and MacBook Pros on eBay the decision to buy a Mac was pretty much made for me - I think I will be able to replace a MBP every year for small loss or even a gain for as long as the current system remains in place, and a considerable amount of the population remain ignorant of the taxation incentives to buy laptops.

  • I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

    I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

    I'll go down your list one by one.
    1. Access mail - which I know that the iPad can do.
    Enough said.
    2. Save an excel or word or ppt of PDF attachment for review.
    You can view these types of documents natively on the iPad as Tgara has mentioned.
    3. Open an review and maybe change a excel or word file.
    There are many apps that allow this.  I personally prefer Apples iWork programs, Pages, Numbers, Keynote.  They tightly integrate with iCloud.
    4. Resave such above files.
    With Pages, Number, Keynote you can save/resave files in iCloud and locally.  Also you could use dropbox to save your files on dropbox and provide a way for you to share a folder with coworkers/family and they can add/view/review files from there and you can see the changes on your device.
    5. Reply to a mail attaching a file.
    This is possible in many ways.  From dropbox, or another app you can email files with the share button.
    6. Be able to rename files and store them in specific folders.
    This goes back to dropbox/iCloud.  iOS doesn't really have a traditional file system.  If you save a PDF it isn't saved anywhere you can just open it.  You would have to open an app that supports view PDFs and select the PDF you wish to view.  The same goes for documents, spreadsheets and etc.
    Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

  • ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.

    I have installed an ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.I have 2 high Definition Audio Controllers in Device Manager, One has an exclamation mark with message 
    " This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
    You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."
    What do i need to do to get this to work ?

    The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
    Kind regards,

  • Recently, Creative Cloud experienced an outage with a service provider...

    Hello All,
    I recently received an email from Adobe which states:
    Recently, Creative Cloud experienced an outage with a service provider that impacted some of our members. Our logs indicate that your account may have been affected, which resulted in some of the files that you saved in Creative Cloud to be inadvertently moved from their original location.
    The files we recovered from this glitch were moved into a new folder named "Recovered," which you can access from your Creative Cloud account or sync directly to your desktop. We would like to emphasize that no files were lost.
    The email then goes on to tell me how to access the Recovered folder.
    Unfortunately, every time I have tried to access the Recovered folder, the web page thinks and thinks and then, after a couple minutes, I receive the following message:
    Page Not Found
    We can't find the page you're looking for.
    View your files or browse your apps and services.
    I have tried Live Chat (including right now), but the Chat pod always states that there are at least 35-40 people ahead of me (today started out with 55 persons ahead of me and is down to 45). I just do not have all of that time and I need my recovered files.
    Anyone have any idea as to what I can try to get access to these recovered files?
    Thank you,
    edsager

    A new wrinkle:
    After waiting more than 2 hours on the Live Chat, the person attempting to assist me did not understand my very clearly described issue...and my issue had nothing to do with the recent Adobe security issues, despite what the Live Chat person thought.
    After copying and pasting what I typed above, I was told the Live Chat person could not help me and that I needed to contact tech support.  Yet, the Live Chat is what was suggested in the aforementioned email Adobe sent me in order for me to receive assistance.
    A total wait and communication time of 2 hours 19 minutes.
    I called tech support after the end of the Live Chat and was told the wait time was between 57 minutes and 1 hour 17 minutes. Yikes! Not again!
    Oh, Adobe, wherefore hast thy customer service gone?
    Anyway, if people do not have an answer for my question stated in the first post of this thread, is there anyone who knows when is the best time/day to call tech support to actually get assistance?
    Thank you,
    edsager

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.
