Printers in RDP Windows 2012 and Ubuntu Linux

Computer 1. Windows Server 2012 Std with RDP Terminal Server
Computer 2. Ubuntu Linux 13.04 with RDP client Remmina and HP LaserJet 1020 Printer
Computers isn't located in one local network. When I connected to the Windows by RDP - I couldnt see any printers (e.g. HP LJ 1020). What should I do to make visible my printers when I connect thru Remmina to Windows 2012 Server? May be add some components
or roles? By the way, when I use Windows 7 to connect to Server 2012, I could see my printer like Remote Desktop Easy Print.
Windows Server 2012 и клиент на Ubuntu не находятся в одной локальной сети, поэтому подключить принтер из под терминальной сессии по локальной сети не получится. Нужно прокидывать принтер с Ubuntu в терминальную сессию через RDP. Так вот,
если я подключаюсь из под Windows 7, то принтер виден, Easy Print отрабатывает нормально, а если из под Ubuntu, то нет ни одного принтера. Как я понял, это особенность Windows 2012, то что они отключили там устаревшие компоненты, потому
что подключаюсь к Windows 2008R2 и там принтер из Ubuntu виден.

(SOLVED) Problem with printer redirection between Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and Windows 2012R2
Server - Windows 2012R2 
Clients - Linux Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 
RDP client - Remmina Remote Desktop Client (Stable release: 1.0.0). 
It turned out that for some strange logic in the connection settings to the server in the RDP client - Remmina must specify sound "local". 
Then Printer redirection works and print remotely without problems.

  • Windows Xp and Unbreakable Linux

    Anybody with an idea if its possible to have windows xp and unbreakable linux on the same system, tried it once but had problems with it maybe i did something wrong am not sure, i just need confirmation so i dont lose my files if it isnt possible. Anybody with experience on it. Have done it with windows xp and rhel 3 and it worked well.Thanks

    If you are not going to use VMware do the following:
    Install XP first with some partition space for Linux (15GB?)
    !!!!Follow with caution, as fdisk can destroy all your data!!!
    Then start linux install, select the non-window partition, format, create mount points- the usual stuff.
    When it comes to grub, make sure you select the advanced grub options, and select " install on first partition of boot sector" . Select Windows XP as your default OS.
    After the installation, the system boots into windows XP by default, although not through grub.
    For this, you need to start linux in rescue mode (use the same install DVD/CD and at linux prompt, type linux rescue)
    mount the sysimage (chroot /mnt/sysimage)
    use fdisk to change the default bootable flag (fdisk a [1-4]).
    eg hda is your windows system partition; hdb is your linux partition
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/hda * 1 13054 104856223+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/hdb xxx xxxx xxxxxx 83 Linux
    Now reboot your system and you should have a dual boot XP/OEL.

  • Windows XP and Arch Linux

    How do I install both Windows XP and Arch Linux on my system? I want to be able to boot either of the two from a menu that loads after the bios.

    Just add the following in your /boot/grub/menu.lst
    # (1) Windoze XP
    title Windows XP Professional
    root (hd0,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    I assume from your description that you installed XP on the 1st partition of your 1st disc. If not, replace hd0,0 according to your setup.
    kirkl_uk wrote:PS How do I make a user supervisor in Arch Linux? When I try and reboot under my made user, I do not have sufficient rights.
    Just add that user in the root group in /etc/group. Or you can install sudo & 'man sudo' for details.
    However, believe me, you don't want to do something like that. In windoze if you try to delete, ie the windows folder through explorer it'll stop you, pointing that this is evil. In linux you can easily call a 'rm -rf /' (as root) and wipe your disc out .
    So better stick to a non-root user for everyday usage and su (or sudo) when you need root-access for a task.

  • Changing Boot Order on Dual Boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu

    Hi there,
    Recently got a HP Pavilion g6 2213sa which came with Windows 8 (spit!) and this disgusting UEFI BIOS replacement (double spit!).
    Anyway, I need to dual boot Ubuntu on my system, so I installed Ubuntu. Normally, on a non UEFI system, a "Grub" bootloader installed by Linux would take over the startup process, and allow you to choose between either Windows 8 or Ubuntu on startup.
    However, on this computer, startup is just booting straight to Windows 8 despite the fact that Ubuntu and Grub IS installed.
    Now, upon startup, if I press F9, then I get to change the boot-device on a one-time basis. I can either select "OS Boot Manager", which loads Windows 8, or "Ubuntu" which loads the Grub bootloader which allows me to select Windows 8 or Ubuntu.
    However, when I press F10 to enter the Bios Setup with the intention of changing the boot order permanently, the Ubuntu option isn't there. Instead it has OS Manager, USB Disk, CD Rom, USB CD Rom and Network Card.
    Thanks, HP for, the crappily designed BIOS.
    Anyway, can anyone PLEASE provide me a way of changing the boot order so that GRUB is loaded first and NOT this crap Windows 8 rubbish (that I would happily bin if I didn't need it for work). 

    There is the same problem in HP 2000 laptops (in my case specifically, HP 2000-2D22DX). I did some investigation using trial and error, and this is what I found out:
    There is some sort of a "recovery feature" or so that on every boot sets the very first UEFI load option to point to one of the two locations, in this order:
    \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
    \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi
    This option is displayed as "OS boot Manager" (for the first path) and something akin to "UEFI partition" for the second path, completely ignoring the actual name given to it (when you look at the EFI variables through efibootmgr, you can see that what is displayed as "OS boot Manager" actually is set to the name "Windows Boot Manager"; why anyone would do such renaming is beyond me). If you try to change the boot order so that this slot isn't the first, the UEFI will overwrite the BootOrder variable on next boot and reset it to point to "OS boot Manager" anyway.
    By default, both of the paths above contain the same Microsoft bootloader (if you check the md5sum of both, you'll see they match).
    So, until HP releases an updated UEFI that allows turning this "feature" off or rearranging boot options through the F10 UEFI setup, this is what you can do to get dual boot with the least amount of hackiness:
    In Windows, mount the UEFI partition (mountvol S: /S mounts it as the S: drive) and copy the file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi to use some other name (for example, I copied it to "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi~", but you can change the name to anything else).
    In the Windows command prompt, update the Windows UEFI entry to point to the new name: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi~ (adapt to your set name accordingly).
    Optionally, change the name of the Windows boot loader so that you would be certain that it points to the new file location: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} description "Fixed Windows path"
    Install the other OS. In my case the bootloader was installed into \EFI\opensuse\grubx64.efi.
    Delete the two files, \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi and \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi.
    Use efibootmgr to delete the "OS boot Manager" entry: sudo efibootmgr -b 0000 -B
    Set the new OS bootloader to be the default bootloader by using efibootmgr with the -o option. In my case, I had an entry called "opensuse" in slot Boot0001 and the updated path Windows entry in slot Boot0002, so I had to do sudo efibootmgr -o 0001,0002
    Update GRUB to point the Windows entry to your renamed file (you'll have to create a new file in /etc/grub.d and rerun grub-mkconfig).
    And that's it, now the UEFI will boot GRUB by default (it won't regenerate the "OS boot Manager" entry since it won't be able to find either of the two hardcoded paths and will "fall back" to properly reading the BootOrder variable), and the F9 menu will still allow choosing to boot Windows directly.

  • Weird Shimmering Display Under Arch and Ubuntu Linux on GT72-QE with GTX 980M

    Just bought one of these laptops to run CUDA applications while on the road and all went smoothly until I installed Linux and then activated X (Gnome/Unity/XFCE).  I first noticed this under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and the behavior is the same Ubuntu 14.10 LTS, 12.04 LTS, and even Arch Linux.  In all cases, I used the 346.59 NVIDIA display driver either obtained through the Edgers PPA or manually installed.
    What I'm seeing is  The laptop display shimmering as if the horizontal sync is slightly off.  External displays look fine.
    I've updated the BIOS of the laptop to the 10R version from March and that had no effect.

  • [Solved]dual boot windows 7 and arch linux

    I have successfully installed arch linux dual boot with the original win7 on my PC. If I only use linux, then the system works well. The problem is that once I boot into Win7 then after reboot, the linux boot manager will stop working and the system always boots into windows automatically. My guess is Win7 automatically repair the boot loader.
    My current solution is whenever I have finished using Windows, I'll boot with my linux USB installation, and run "gummiboot --path=/boot install". Afterwards, linux will work fine. But I believe there must be a better solution. Any help will be appreciated.
    I have UEFI board by the way.

    $ cat /boot/loader/entries/windows.conf
    title Windows
    efi /EFI/hidden/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
    The window boot path was :
    /boot/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
    and I changed
    /boot/EFI/Microsoft
    to
    /boot/EFI/hidden
    After reboot, I clicked 'Windows' option on the linux boot manager. Below are the error messages:
    Windows failed to start.
    File: \EFI\Microsoft/Boot/BCD
    Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
    Any idea what goes wrong?
    I'll try other suggestions soon. Thanks all of you again.

    Ok so I'm stuck trying to get my computer to dual boot windows 7 and arch. They are installed on different hard drives and I have grub 2 as the boot loader. I can't find any tutorials on how to do it with seperate hard drives I know how to do it if they are on the same hard drive. Also I want windows on the "first" hard drive how do I check to see which one it considers the first?

    Not from the BIOS. He would need to physically open up the computer and switch the cables between them (or add another drive).
    There's no actual performance increase in changing this order. Performance increase is when you have the partitions as close to the beginning of a HDD as possible, where the platters spin faster (basic mechanics, not to be confused with CD/DVD, which are being written from the inside-out to prevent errors after extended usage), and it especially doesn't apply to SSDs whatsoever.
    You may be right about that. I remember I had to do this a while back but I probably switched the cables. It also messed up the drive mapping in Windows 98 if I remember correctly.

  • Dual booting Windows 8 and Arch Linux with UEFI

    Hi all!
    I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my computer where I already have Windows 8, and I'm getting a little stuck when it comes to the partitioning.
    Following the beginner's guide and the method here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … n_in_Linux for setting up the partitions properly, regarding UEFI. My problem is that when using cgdisk to set up a new EFI system partition (ef00), I get an error message when trying to write the partition table (just saying that something went wrong). I figure the problem is that I already have a partition like this (correct me if I'm wrong), but it really looks like it succeded (see info below). So my question is: How do I preceed to keep my Windows 8 installation happy, but installing Arch? Do I remove the old EFI system partition and create a new one, or is there some method that allows me to edit the already existing one, to allow me to dual boot Windows 8 and Arch?
    My partition table now looks like this:
    Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name
    1007KB free space
    1 500MB Windows RE Basic data partition
    2 300MB EFI System EFI system partition (this one was already present on my system)
    3 128MB Microsoft reserved Microsoft reserved partition
    4 63.5GB Microsoft basic data Basic data partition
    8 512MB EFI System EFI System partition (this is the one I tried to create when I got the error message)
    5 29.5GB Linux filesystem Arch (this is where I was going to put my Arch installation)
    6 22GB Windows RE Basic data partition
    7 1024MB Windows RE Basic data partition
    615KB free space
    Just for the record; I only created partition #8 and #5.
    Any help is appreciated! And sorry for beeing a total noob, but I really suck at this.

    sudo make sandwich wrote:If it is possible to share ESP between OSes, how do I do this (would it be sufficent to follow this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#For_UEFI_motherboards)?
    There's really very little to do to share an ESP between OSes. Most OS installers will auto-detect the ESP and use it. Problem solved. For Arch it may be a bit more effort just because Arch uses a more hands-on installation process, but I've only done a couple of Arch installations, and the last one was several months ago, so I don't recall the details clearly enough to comment.
    And how big will the partition need to be? The beginner's guide says 512MB or higher.
    I don't know what was in the mind of the author, but my guess is that's because that's roughly the cutoff point where mkdosfs starts creating FAT32 by default rather than FAT16. The ESP is officially supposed to be FAT32, not FAT16, although FAT16 usually works OK. It's also possible to create FAT32 on smaller partitions by using an explicit option to mkdosfs ("-F 32").
    The optimal size of the ESP depends on the files stored on it. If you don't store your Linux kernels, something as small as 100MiB is usually adequate; but a few Linux kernels and their initrd files can consume twice that amount. My own recommendation is for the ESP to be 200-500MiB.
    The only error message I got from cgdisk is "Problem saving data! Your partition table may be damaged!", however booting Windows again works fine. Parted did not complain about antything.
    Use the "verify" function in cgdisk. That will reveal any problems with the data structures. If a verify turns up OK, then that means that cgdisk ran into some sort of disk problem. Running gdisk rather than cgdisk and using the gdisk "w" option (without making any changes) may produce a more helpful error message.

    Hi,
    Base on my experience, you need create a new cluster when you choose migrate the cluster, so you need the new witness disk.

    I am confused with your comments. If you have a user running Windows XP
    with the 4.91 windows client, he will have a login popup. The Login window
    will ask for the username and password. If you hit the advanced button, it
    will show you the tree, context, and server fields. Currently you will
    have your tree, context and server from your previous login populated. If
    you want to log into the OES Linux server, you can change the server field
    to point to the OES Linux server's IP or server name. There is nothing
    different when accessing the NSS volumes on a OES Linux from a windows
    workstation.

  • Windows 7 and Arch linux dual boot problem

    hey guys I had an issue with windows 7 dual booted with arch and i was just wondering my windows 7 crashed. I had Reinstalled windows OS and all my partitions are set up but now when I try to boot up arch I cant at all cause windows Boot took over and i have no way of getting into arch is there anyway i can fix this or maybe reinstall arch without loseing my home folder with all my data, or is there just and easyer way to fix this issue im stuck.  thank you all for your support as i am a noob

    You need to re-install grub. When you reinstalled Windows it will overwrite grub preventing you booting Arch. You'll need to boot from a liveCD and chroot into your Arch installation. details for recovering grub are in the wiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … stallation
