Installing remotely

Hi.
I am trying to install Oracle software (database) on a remote Linux server from my iMac desktop. I just can't make startx work. What I did:
1) Started X11 on my Mac
2) ssh oracle@linuxbox
3) export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
4) startx
It fails.
Is there a way to do it? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

1) use ssh with x-tunneling
2) don't manually set DISPLAY, ssh does this for you (if you use the ssh tunneling)
3) first test with something simple like xclock. If that works, X and ssh are ok.
regards,

  • To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

    Dear Sir,
    Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
    2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
    Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
    2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
    3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself).  If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead.  The path of the
    group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
    4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
    5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

  • Messages.app no longer connects to Jabber after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2

    Messages.app no longer connects to my company's Jabber server after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2 (even though I never purchased that app). The Remote Desktop app can not be found anywhere on my machines.
    I suspect the Remote Desktop update because Messages stopped connecting on my office MB Air after the update but still worked on my home iMac. Next day the iMac received the update and Messages stopped connecting on that machine too.
    Messages attempts to connect for several minutes (it's been trying for 30 mins as I type this) and just hangs. Occasional I get the following error message:
    Error: Messages lost the connection to the Jabber account 'account'. A network error occurred.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting and recreating the Jabber account in Messages.app
    - Toggling on/off SSL (SSL required by our server)
    - Toggling on/off auto detect server and port (port 5222 on our server)
    - Deleting every plist, cache, etc., I could find in the Library for any IM client I've ever used
    - Checked that Keychain trusts the Jabber server SSL certificate (it is a self signed cert)
    - Tried connecting from three completely different networks including the company VPN
    - Multiple PRAM resets
    - Setup a Google Talk account in Messages - works fine
    I'm at a loss...
    Kurt

    I installed and setup Adium. Adium works but Messages.app still does not connect to Jabber.

  • Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise

    Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise 
    Standalone installer available here
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
    fails with error code 0x80004005
    Is this because my installation has issues, or would the admin pack files be updated for RTM?
    Thank you in advance for any insight

    Found the solution here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogeneral/thread/6d8745e0-c4c1-463a-b4bb-09f6c9c22527
    Workaround:
    Download the RSAT package intended for Windows 8 Release Preview: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
    Extract the .msu file with a tool such as 7-Zip.
    Open an Admin command prompt and change directory to where you extracted the .msu.
    Run the following command to install (if x86 you probably have a different .xml filename): pkgmgr /n:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.xml
    Wait a while. You can look in task manager for pkgmgr. When it disappears, the installation is done.
    Use the tools as per usual.

    I don't know if you have been there, but a very suspicious icon!  (Like this one on a NSA satellite: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/Satellite-logo-for-spying.jpg)  Yikes!
    Are they after the French too?!?  I thought we were allies?!?  Wait a minute . . . I'm an American citizen with the Constitutional Right (which they vowed to uphold when they took their job!) of privacy!!!
    What do you think of all this?
    How did you find it in the OS?
    Do I just trash it with "Secure Empty"?

  • Guideline of installing remote desktop services in window server 2012 r2

    Hi,
    I tried to install remote desktop services in window server 2012, I joined my current domain ( in window server 2003).
    During installation, it require me to promote my server to domain controller? This is one of the requirement for remote desktop services?
    If I didnt join any domain, it prompt me I must join a domain.
    Anyone can advise me? provide me a steps by steps guide will be perfect!
    Thanks 

    Hi GP_IT001,
    In your current network do you currently have a domain controller? You mentioned that you "had" a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2003.
    Am I correct in thinking that you no longer have this server?
    As this article mentions:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f3d0543a-edab-4eb2-8360-3658a3351bb0/licensing-issue?forum=winserverTS
    You will need a domain environment which means you'll need a server that is a domain controller, and I believe that it will also need to operate Windows Server 2012 or above. You could, if you wanted, setup a new server (virtual or physical) as a domain
    controller and use that if you wish.

  • Can spy software be installed remotely on an iPhone that isn't jailbroken? that

    I've seen various software products Online claiming to install spy programs on a cell phone with either a text message or a 30 second phone call. Any validity to these claims? Certain raises concerns about safety/ security/ privacy if this is legit.
    Thanks for any answers!

    No program can be installed remotely on an iPhone. Only apps from
    app store and downloaded directly from the app store can be installed
    on an iPhone. If iPhone is jailbroken, all bets are off and anything is
    possible.

  • Installing Remote Blob Storage (RBS) Provider on Active/Passive cluster

    We are implementing RBS for our SharePoint farm and have successfully got it installed and working for all Content Databases.
    I've read a dozen or so guides but none of them cover installing on a clustered SQL environment and I need to install the RBS provider on the passive node but cant see any guides that mention it although its stated Clustering is supported.
    Can anyone tell the correct way to install it on the passive node?

    Hi Dr_Sanchez,
    According to
    this blog, it is supported to install remote blob storage provider on SQL Server active passive cluster. You could follow the installation steps in that blog. If you get an error like this:
    Cannot use file 'c:\Blobstore' for clustered server. Only formatted files on which the cluster resource of the server has a dependency can be used. Either the disk resource containing the file is not present in the cluster group or the cluster resource of
    the Sql Server does not have a dependency on it.
    Then please replace 'c:\Blobstore' with the volume\directory which resides in the same group in the Cluster Administrator as the SQL Server resources.
    Regards,
    Michelle Li

  • Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

    I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration.  However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern.  Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2.  But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not
    tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC. 
    In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager.  The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001).  Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS
    working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation?  Thanks.
    Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server.  According to
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
    "Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller.  In addition, we published
    guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker."
    The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

    Asinine.  Simply Asinine.  Microsoft took it out because of $GREED$.  
    RemoteDesktop has become so popular, they had to break it to make more money.  Thats why they discontinued SmallBusinessServer.   If this practice is so tabooo... Why did MS go the opposite direction with SBS 2011 Premium Cal's?  SBS2011
    had DC, Exchange, RDS and Sharepoint,SQL, RemoteWebWorkplace, OWA all working in perfect harmony.  It is an untrue statement then, that it was "allowed but not recommended"
    Now you by Server2012 (core + two virtual) and its not enough for all this. 
    You need at least another $700 for another sever licence to have it all
    and who knows if SQL will run on a DC, or Exchange, or R-DERP server.  Another reacherous bridge to cross.
    By far, the absloute worse release since Millennium.  The product is not ready for production, we broke our rule of waiting until the first SP1 upgrade for this and Exchange 2013.  Problems with USB drivers and networking running extreamly slow. 
    Our 2003 SBS server was at least three times as fast, and this server has SAS and SSD drives running.  It can't get out of its own way, and IE10 is the most unstable piece of crap to come out of Redmond.  Open wide and swallow - Mother Microsoft
    knows whats best for you.  YOU WILL EAT OUR SLOP AND LEARN TO LIKE IT.   Server2012 AKA  "METRO-SERVER"
    Now here I sit after 50 Hours back to back setting up a new R-DERP server 2012, AD, Have my RDP licences in my hand at $100 each, and WTH does Microsoft care if I install it on my DC.  ITS MY DC.  And the cost savings versus the "risk" was
    previously MY decision. 
    Sure, I can install a couple of Virtual HyperV sessions but they are so tempremental to a power-outage in a small business its not worth it.  I have to double up my server hard drive resources, buy a $800 battery backup unit and make sure to attach
    the cable, and even then, if that Bi**H does not shut down properly, one bit goes awry in a VHD or VHDX file and you are screwed.  Restore from lastnights backup and forget about todays work.  Not to mention it will probably take a half day to try
    to fix it, then recover it then tell the 30 users they lost a days worth of work. 
    HYPER-V is for test servers and has no place in a small (micro) business environment. 5-30 users. 
    Microsoft's solution, buy another server.  Need Exchange?  Buy another server or take the risky cheapskate route and spin up some VHD's.  Might as well put a gun to your head and play russian roulette, at least you know you have a one in six
    chance of failure.  With MS, its a 100% failure for a dirty shutdown power loss, motherboard blows, memory goes corrupt in a few years, your conventional method of recovery is gone, and you have some upchucked VHD file to try to recover some of TODAYS
    data from. 
    Screw server 2012 forever. 
    I will sell 2008 and SBS2011 Premium unitl it rots in hell like XP (of which there is NOTHING wrong with for the average, WORD, EXCEL, OUTLOOK and QUICKBOOKS that all SMB's use.  Its MS $GREED$  Grab the world by the B**ls and squeeze with all
    your might to squeeze every dime you can out of *SMB* because big business is going to run thier 2003 Exchange and 2008 servers into ground before they switch to this garbage. 
    YOU CANNOT INSTALL EXCHANGE 2013 on DC , OR on R-DERP server. 
    Go buy another server license and server or MOVE TO THE CLOUD and get fleeced every month. 
    I have 30 DC/R-DERP/Exchange and SBS2011 Premium servers all running for years in perfect harmony, locked down with security so the users can't even WIGGLE with something they are not supposed to work with.  They get their apps, cannot install anything
    and all these servers are running just fine behind the firewall and perfectly save.  The track record of this combination is 100% stable and is up 24/7/365 with no problems.  Do yourself a favor and throw this 2012 into the river, you don't need
    any weights because it is LEAD and will sink to the bottom by itself.
    Why, you ask?  Official is "Its for your protection"  The real reason?  To sell you more $700 server licences.
    Maybe for SMB, we start selling Linux NAS Servers, host the Exchange in the cloud and be hearded like cattle to the Microsoft slaughterhouse.  One way or another, you are going to bleed.    A little each month to move to the cloud, or
    a small fortune if you want to have it in house.  Microsoft wants it to be more expensive to have in house.  No more buying a server and running it for six years before you upgrade.  They can't have in house servers competing with their cloud,
    and small businesses are the low hanging fruit  ripe for the pickin'.

    Can anyone tell me about Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.1 neccessary to install in my MacBook pro Please

    Hi
    Apple Remote Desktop is part of your OS and just as other system updates you should install it as it fixes some issues as listed here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1710
    Apple Remote Desktop is not a virus, malware or anything else that might be seen as 'nastyware'. As with any update you should follow Apple's advice prior to running the update and make sure you have a full and complete backup of any data you can't do without.
    HTH?

  • Volume problem after installing Remote app

    After I installed the Remote app to my touch I used it for a little while and then turned it off. I went to use it again but when I was listening to music regularly I noticed that the volume was as high as possible even though I had it barely on. Does this have to do with the app or is something wrong with my touch?

    I deleted the app from my touch and now it works normally. Here's a link to how I did it. After you do it turn off your Ipod, then tirn it on again it should be fine. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
