[SOLVED] Preview other screens over LAN

I am looking for something that will allow me to preview others screens of Linux machines in my local network - just `read-only` preview of currently logged user. Can someone suggest me something ?

x11vnc is probably a better choice since it can show you the currently running sessions; tigervnc is different in that it is its own virtual session.  See the wiki page posted.

  • Just installed OS 8.3, it opened and locked into iTunes connection logo as opening screen.  I cannot get to any other screen.  Hard close down has not solved it and I cannot get to usual homescreen to access the reset options. Ideas?

    Earlier today my iPad which was using OS 8.2) kept shutting down every few minutes. I thought it might be some new incompatibility connected with the recent release of OS 8.3,.  So, I updated to OS 8.3.  It took many attempts and a very long time - over an hour - because the iPad kept shutting down mid-process.  Supposedly 8.3 is now installed, but all I get is the Apple logo followed by a screen showing a connection, cursor arrow pointing up-screen to a box reading "iTunes".  I cannot get out of that screen to any other screen and can only close by hard shut down, fully powering off (home button + power button). When I restart the device it shows first the Apple logo for a few seconds, then the iTunes connection logo.  Nothing else. This has been going on for about three hours now.  I am not an iTunes user so I am not sure what to think or what to expect..  Is it maybe something to do with iTunes being updated in the background?  3 hours seems a long time for an update whatever it is. Is anyone else encountering this problem?  Does anyone have any suggestions, bearing in mind that I cannot get to the usual opening home screen, so can't get to settings or anything to do a reset. I hope someone can help me with this problem.  Many thanks, Glenys2

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • FTP/SFTP/FISH (etc) slow file transfer rate over LAN

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with transferring files over my home network that has been bothering me for quite some time.
    I have a 802.11n router which should provide me with the transfer rate up to 150 Mbps (afaik). When I download files from the Internet, 3 MB/s data transfer rate is of no problem.
    However, when receiving or sending data over LAN, the transfer rate is much slower (1.8 MB/s).
    My rough guess is (after reading some papers on this topic) that TCP protocol is causing this (its flow control feature to be exact), since TCP max window size is too small on Linux by default.
    So, setting TCP max window size to a greater number should solve this.
    I tried putting this:
    # increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt()
    # 16 MB with a few parallel streams is recommended for most 10G paths
    # 32 MB might be needed for some very long end-to-end 10G or 40G paths
    net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
    net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
    # increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits
    # min, default, and max number of bytes to use
    # (only change the 3rd value, and make it 16 MB or more)
    net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
    net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
    # recommended to increase this for 10G NICS
    net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000
    # these should be the default, but just to be sure
    net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
    net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
    in /etc/sysctl.conf but to no avail.
    So either there is no problem with the max window size setting, or the Linux kernel ignores it (maybe because /proc is no longer supported?).
    Thanks for any neat ideas.

  • How do you view a friend's screen over the internet

    how do you view a friend's screen over the internet, not on the same LAN?
    for 10.8.x and 10.9.x?
    thanks,
    g.

    Look at LogMeIn, GoToMyPC or any other 'remote access service'.
    LogMeIn
    GoToMyPC
    Apple has 'Back to my Mac' which could work well, however it is tied into iCloud & frankly makes it a real pain handling passwords to set it up.
    I think the Messages application can allow you to request that someone can control the Mac via 'screen sharing' too, but I haven't tried across different OS X versions.

  • X.25 over LAN using hme

    Hi there,
    I have to use hme for X.25 over LAN.
    But I can't see the hme in the device list on x25tool screen.
    I'm using SunLink X.25 9.0.
    Is there any way ? Modify some config files ?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi franky,
    I have just read your question with regards to configuring X.25
    over a LAN connection.
    What type/model of system is X.25 being configured on ?
    Has the hme ethernet card been added recently to the system?
    What devices do you have available to you ?
    Are you referring to the list under:
    Edit > Add Link > LAN > Device?
    Do you see the hme definition under the Board definition list?
    ie: Boards > Definition menu
    If not add a new device specifying a symbolic name Path to device
    which is /dev/hme, L for Lan device, number of lines/ports, MRU (usually 1515 for lan connections) and a Comment.
    I hope that this helps;
    Regards

  • Install over LAN

    Excuse me if posting under wrong subforum,the question is more general oriented:
    anyone can point to some good basic tutorial/howto (independent, not specific to any distro) about how to install linux over LAN from one PC with working linux distro to another PC without cdrom and floppy-just over LAN?
    Any help appreciated.
    Last edited by Mulac (2008-10-21 22:40:02)

    I never really tried it out, but the Knooppix-Livecd provides a PXE Server for the Local network. Just boot knoppix an a pc with cdrom and start the PXE-Server. Start up your cd-less pc and boot into pxe. You'll have a full functional linux-environment running. From there you can install any distro.
    Links
    PXE FAQ on Knoppix Wiki (also recommended for further reading)
    A PXE Wiki
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … her_distro
    This could solve your problem as well:

  • Printing broken for HP LJ1150 over Lan

    All of sudden today I cannot print to my LaserJet 1150, although all other Win boxes can. The printer is connected via USB to a MacMini and shared over Lan. It's rather embarrassing.
    When I attempt to print from say Safari, I get a dialog that says "Print - Error while Printing. OK"
    Please help. Thanks people, as always.
    I checked my Console.log and I attach what I see:

    Thanks greg,
    I had already Safe Booted and then re-added the printer by the time I had read your post. All is fine for now.
    Thanks.
    PS Prior to Safe-Booting, I had deleted/re-added the printer a number of times. Every time I attempted to print after adding the printer, it just locked and reproduced the error. Only after Safe-Boot did it come back alive.

  • Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

    Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over.

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

  • How do I choose Preview as default over Adobe Reader?

    Once you update one thing . . . can of worms.  How do I choose preview as default over Adobe Reader?
    Here's why I want to change the default viewer, in case anyone has ideas: When I updated to Reader X (as required by some of our industry-specific programs) my Quickbooks Online financial program no longer prints in either Safari or Firefox.
    I called QB and they said they only support Reader 9.3. Uninstalled Reader X, tried install 9.3. No go--isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.6.7. Gave QB my "thoughts" on their not being up to speed with Reader updates . . .
    So, maybe changing to Preview as the default reader will work. Adobe 10 has overruled Preview.
    How do I set the preference to go back to Preview?
    Any help appreciated, thanks.

  • Has anyone successfully used the serial-over-lan feature in ipmitool?

    The IPMI hardware in Apple's Intel Xserves ostensibly supports serial-over-LAN access via ipmitool. Attempting to access it with ipmitool doesn't appear to work, however; the command
    ipmitool -H hostname -U username sol activate
    simply returns without entering a serial session. I am able to perform other queries on the same interface with ipmitool, however. Is there some setting that I must enable in order to permit the above command to succeed?

    I have version 2.0.2 installed. The firmware is not up to date (its boot ROM is at version XS11.0080.B01); however, I never was able to figure out how to update it (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1569860&tstart=0). Querying the bmc info with ipmitool does work; it reports firmware revision 1.2.8. No manual changes were made within /dev to my knowledge.

  • Dual screen over HDMI

    I'm running arch on my HP mini 311. It has nvidia ion graphics and I'm using the nvidia driver package. I would like to set it up to use dual screen over the hdmi port. I am having trouble getting my xorg.conf setup. I tried configuration that I thought were correct but everytime I reboot/restart x it boots into the console and I have to use nvidia-xconfig to get it back. I am kind of a newb when it comes to configuring xorg as I've always just relied on the nvidia utility.
    Ideally I would like to get the second screen at  a higher resolution but failing that just getting a clone display would be fine. I mainly want to use it to watch movies with vlc. If it makes a difference I am using i3 as my wm.

    ushimitsudoki wrote:If you are using the nvidia drivers, why aren't you using nvidia-settings (from nvidia-utils) to configure your displays?
    +1, just run nvidia-settings and enable twinview.
    As nvidia-settings --help say, you can use run nvidia-settings -l  when you start your X session to restore the screen settings. (or you can read the nvidia docs and enable twinview in xorg.conf by hand.)

  • Options gestures requires 2 fingers, other screens okay

    Hi,
    when I open the option form the gestures is very awkward, requiring two fingers to do any button select, list scrolling, etc.  This includes wifi setup form.  Other screens work as expected with one finger gestures for scrolling and selecting apps etc.  other apps seem to work fine.  Is this by design?   I am running OS Version 1.0.1.1710.   About screen also requires two fingers to scroll down to number of documents etc. in landscape.
    Have I missed an option somewhere?
    thanks,

  • RD120 Serial over Lan configuration.

    Hi,
    Does anyone know what the settings in the bios/BMC need to be on the RD120 to allow Serial over LAN...
    I am remote so I cannot see the bios or BMC utilities. There is no documentation on this on the Lenove website. I do not have an RSA adapter for this box as I really dont think I need it for Serial over LAN. I can see the BMC settings with ipmitool so I just need the SOL configuration steps.
    Does anyone know if I can set this up? I am looking for documentation on how to configure the bios and BMC..
    I can't find it anywhere.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bill,
    SoL is a special text based management path for users to access IBM blade servers via the Management Module uplink. On the IGESM, in code at 12.1(22)AY1 and below, it is necessary to configure a special VLAN on the IGESM to permit SoL to operate. Details on configuring SoL on older code IGESMs can be found in section 7.8 of the IGESM Redpaper:
    http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp3869.html
    On code versions at 12.1(22)EA6 and above, there is a built in special hidden VLAN (4095) that does not require any configuration to support SoL. Based on this simplification, it is recommend to use code 12.1(22)EA6 or later if the use of SoL is desired.
    Thanks, Matt

  • Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Music Lab's "Midi Over LAN" broken?

    Hi all,
    I run "music lab's midi over lan" and am wondering if it doesn't work under the new OSX 10.4.9......
    I was forced to update 1 of my slave G5s and now "MolCP" no longer worx...... I can't be certain that it is 10.4.9, but I'm trouble-shooting,
    thanx in advance.
    SvK

    Er, that's not forced, that's just not knowing any better!
    You should have just gone to Apple and downloaded the 10.4.8 combo installer.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
    http://search.info.apple.com/?q=macos+x10.4.8&type=kbdload&search=Search&lr=lang_en&search=Go
    OSX updates are always recommended to be done from the full combo update, rather than the smaller cut-down software updates anyway.

  • Best approach for green screen over multiple clips?

    So I know this may fall under the category of after effects, but starting with a project in premiere with many clips and cuts, what would be the best way to apply green screen over all of these clips? I'd think that making all of these clips after effects compositions would be excessive and not the best approach. So is there a better way to go about doing this?

    In these cases it's best that you test with one clip before going all in and having to change direction after much is done.  You can get by with Ultra Key in PPro if the screens are done correctly and clean enough.  Much will also depend on the expected result.  That is, you may wind up doing lots of tweaking for shots that might not pay off if they're quick/action, etc.  I usually go round house for AE involving complex shots that need to be really clean, but have opted for Ultra in PPro for quick clips with action.  When I do use Ultra Key I use more than one instance of the key.   So, test it both ways and use this as an opportunity to know the Pro's of both methods.

Maybe you are looking for
