[Solved] Remote X over ssh not working

Hello, I'm trying to forward X11 over ssh but it's not working.
I type
ssh -X 192.168.1.101
followed by my password, and I log in just fine.
I try to launch an X11 application and I get
$kate
kate: cannot connect to X server
SSH is supposed to be forwarding a dummy $DISPLAY to allow remote X. So I type
$echo $DISPLAY
and and get back a empty newline.
Well how about
$xinit
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
Okay, I'll shut down xserver.
I do it, and type
$xinit
again. KDE launches on my remote box. It makes sense, but contradicts many guides I have read which say it should launch on my local machine.
What am I doing wrong here? This should be ridiculously simple.

Did you enable X forwarding in your sshd config?
Did you xhost + (or ssh -Y)?
Did you crop your DISPLAY variable in a bashrc or similar script run at login?

[SOLVED] Brightness control over keyboard not working, but it works...

Hello,
I recently got a new laptop at work and I put a fresh Arch on it.
Almost everything works perfectly, but I have one weird issue.
I can control backlight of my display via ACPI; I wrote a simple script for it:
pabre@pbr-laptok:~$ cat /usr/local/sbin/brightness.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
MAX=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness`
ACT=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness`
MIN=0
STEPS=10
STEP=$((MAX/STEPS))
if [ $1 == "+" ]; then
if [ $((ACT+STEP)) -le $MAX ]; then
echo $((ACT+STEP)) > $DEV
fi
elif [ $1 == "-" ]; then
if [ $((ACT-STEP)) -ge $MIN ]; then
echo $((ACT-STEP)) > $DEV
fi
fi
exit 0
I put myself a sudoers entry for it:
root@pbr-laptok:~# cat /etc/sudoers | grep pabre
pabre ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/brightness.sh,/usr/bin/pacman -Sy
And it works like a charm, when run from a terminal:
pabre@pbr-laptok:~$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/brightness.sh -
So, my next step was to bind that script to appropriate keys on my keyboard (Fn + UP/DOWN - which are XF86MonBrightnessUp and XF86MonBrightnessDown)
My window manager is Awesome, so I put to the config:
awful.key({ }, "XF86MonBrightnessUp", function () awful.util.spawn("sudo /usr/local/sbin/brightness.sh +") end),
awful.key({ }, "XF86MonBrightnessDown", function () awful.util.spawn("sudo /usr/local/sbin/brightness.sh -") end),
among others like touchpad toggling, volume control, etc (which are working without issues)
And now, guess what... Those keys fire that script, change the brightness and after second or less - it comes back to old value! You can see that display blinks (for example gets brighter and moment after - it goes back to previous state).
I tried to debug it, putting to the script something like:
if [ $1 == "+" ]; then
if [ $((ACT+STEP)) -le $MAX ]; then
echo $((ACT+STEP)) > $DEV
cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness >> /tmp/br.log
sleep 1
cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness >> /tmp/br.log
fi
And the first entry was that what it was supposed to be, while te other (second after) Was again the old value.
Does anybody have any idea what "reverts" my changes to the /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness and why it works without issues when simply run from a terminal?

I think that I've found partial answer.
When I changed key binds to another keys - it works!
But even then, when I press XF86MonBrightnessUp or XF86MonBrightnessDown, the brightness level gets reset. And now they are not bind to anything (at last not explicit).
So it looks that I have to found how to decouple the internal, not working as expected, bind to these keys.

Apple remote desktop over vpn - not working

Hi,
I've been using ARD within my firewall and it's been working great. I am currently traveling and logged in via VPN (PPPT) for the first time and although I can see the computers (two) that I want to log into, I am not able to connect to them.
I am able to access my file server fine, it just seems to be ARD that does not work... I have an Asus RT-N66U as my router/VPN server.
HELP!!!!

have you tried scanning the network in ARD while connected via VPN

Remote Desktop & Screen Sharing not working??

Hello all,
I am trying to connect to a friends computer via the Finder's Screen Sharing, I enabled the screen sharing preferences under the System Preferences, put the password, etc and had him do the same and I am not able to connect to his system. I'm sure there is something else I have to do in order to get this to work. In the Windows world I had to use the VNC. But, I remeber reading in a Snow Leopard book that this is all that had to be done in order for this to work.
Best Regards,
freesparks

I know I could never get this working between two macs of the same OS (10.5.8) over the internet with the appropriate Sharing settings set up....
Im guessing both Screen Sharing and Remote Access through iChat DO NOT work anywhere but in a LAN?

[SOLVED] Suspend to ram / disk not working in newer kernels

Hi all,
this puzzles me for a while:
My desktop system was able to suspend to ram / disk flawlessly in older kernels. It stopped working with 3.3. The suspend seems to work, the machine goes to standby. But when I try to resume, the machines is on but the screen stays black. Neither the console is working nor can I ssh into it. Only hard reset gets me out here
I did investigate and found many tips and hints which all led to nowhere. I even changed my filesystem back from btrfs to ext4 and my VGA module from proprietary nvidia to nouveau.
When this all failed I got to the idea to burn several install disks. One of the official 2011.08.19 (kernel 3.0.3) and one of the snapshots 2012.06.05_04-00-01 (kernel 3.3.7) and 2012.07.17_04-00-01 (kernel 3.4.4). I guess these can not be compromised by some hosed installation. I started one by one and issued the follwing command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
which suspends the machine successfully in all three cases. With 2011.08.19 the resume is working but the other two fail. Some more info about the hardware:

Another life-sign. The issue is still unsolved but I've come a little further. It seems to be a combination of more failures. The first one is USB hardware. I have a usb keyboard-mouse combo from Logitech (comfort cordless desktop). The USB bus does not wake up correctly when resuming from suspend. So my keyboard is unsuable. I put in a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd with the following content:
BUSES="0000:00:1a.7 0000:00:1d.7"
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Switch USB buses off
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
done
resume|thaw)
# Switch USB buses back on
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
done
esac
The bus IDs were taken from /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
When I start pm-suspend from a console (no X started) this seems to reanimate my keyboard while the screen stays black (with backlight on). I can type and reboot. Also I can ssh into the machine from my laptop.
Concerning the blank screen there seems to be a bug in both the proprietary nvidia modules as well as the nouveau driver. The nvidia folks have issued a new beta driver which seems to at least minimize the failures. This all concerns the nv50-family of nvidias cards. I have a GF8600GT which is one of these
I'll wait for this driver and then restart my testing. Until then - no suspend/hibernate
EDIT: Today's nvidia 304.32 is solving my issues - I can sleep again

SSH not working for my user id on Mac

Hi everyone
I am running Terminal
I am trying to ssh into a server.
It works on my linux machine
It works on my make if log in to another user account on my mac
Ssh does not work on my account to the server. Filezilla works to the server on my account. The game client works on my account too.
I have emptied by known_hosts file in ~/.ssh

kokoko, I had this problem last week. I solved it by removing "thinkpad ultranav driver" and "thinkpad ultranav utility," rebooting and reinstalling them. It hasn't happened again.

IPhone 4+Remote+Component Cable+TV=Not Working

Hello all, I am writing to get some help getting my accessories to work together for my iPhone 4. I use an Apple Component AV Cable to hook my iPhone4 up to the front of my older TV (red/yellow/white) to view my videos on my TV. This works but I wanted to get the apple remote so I could control the volume and play from the couch. When I bought it, the page was different, but it said it was compatible with the iPhone 4, so I got it.
Well, it didn't work. Not with just my previous set up and with nothing I have tried since. When I plugged the cables in and tried to use the remote, it didn't operate the iphone, though the video was playing on the tv as usual. I assume the iPhone doesn't have an infrared receiver? So then, I got my hub's Dock, which has an infrared on the front, and on the back, an s-video female connection, the flat narrow port for the usual apple cables (which my Apple Compnent set plugs into as well), and a Line Out. I tried inserting the Apple Component AV Cable, which has the usual apple connector and the red/yellow/white cables. The remote works with the iphone now, but the video won't play on the TV, even though it says it is. It's like the signal isn't going through the dock to the connector. Do I need a different dock, a different cable? Something else?
All I have open to connect to the TV is the Component red/yellow/white.
Any ideas? Thank you so much!
Gina

Whoops, I always get the type of connection messed up. Sorry. I still have the right connections in any case. I have red/yellow/white on the tv and red/yellow/white apple cable. The set up works just fine. I get color video and audio and it looks great. My problems started when I tried getting the remote to work with it.
Like I said, if I use the dock in the setup, the remote works on the iphone but the tv does not play the video. If I take out the dock, the tv plays the video, but the remote does not work the iphone.
Does anyone have any ideas, please?
Thanks,
Gina

Remote for iPod does not work for MENU

I have just bought a 30GB iPod and the A/V connection Kit which includes a Remote. The menu function of the Remote has no effect on the iPod.
One reply to such question stated, quote ... it does not work ... it is meant for the front row software.
In the documentation provided with the A/V connection Kit, there was nothing re the limitation in functionality of the unit.
Could someone pls explain to me what is meant by "front row software" in relation to the iPod ?
Tks for assistance.
jc
ps I am new to these things !!!

Thank you for promt reply.
In reading the documentation more carefully, it does state without going into details, that the Menu button is for other Apple applications.
Tks again

[SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
- Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
- Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
Thanks!

Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
Hi,
I followed your advice:
1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
2. installed SCM, restarted
3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
4. resat the EC
But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.
Do anybody have a suggestion to solve this??
Thanks Kurt

Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

I have the latest appleTV. I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S. The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV. It used to work. I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing. It worked fined until a month ago or so. I have enabled home sharing.
The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3. I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router. I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC. Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code. Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates? Any possible solutions?

It seems like I am having the same problem.
I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
(1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
(2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
(3) Airplay Mirroring not working
The following are done:
- Home sharing enabled
- To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok

Port forwarding for SSH not working on WRT54G2

Hi,
I have forwarded a few ports, but can't get port 22 for SSH to work. I can SSH from within LAN, so that works. And I can access FTP from outside the LAN, when I forwarded that port. But to the same computer where I can access FTP I can't access SSH...
Would be grateful for assistance. Btw, I'm using dynamic IP (through DynDNS, but not using the DynDNS tool in the Linksys interface). I've tried with both the dynDNS domain and the IP address. And I have set a fixed IP address on the server I try to access.
Thanks,
Daniel

Make sure that if you are forwarding the port nos for SSH on WRT54G2 you need to forward it for the assinged static ip address & it should work great..just try it once.

[SOLVED} Suspend to ram does not work (with sleep, s2ram, pm-utils)

Hi.
I would like to ask for one thing: i can't suspend to ram or resume from suspend to ram.
I treid to check over www in order to find some help, some solutions, and how to fix that. Unfortunately, i found these:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … 13-2/page2

Bug 91921 - WD 2TB Caviar black causes hard lock on resume S2RAM
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91921
In fact, when i was researching of this problem i wanted to check if my graphic card and memory are failing so a did few changes (removed memory stick and so one) but in doing this i removed almost all of my hard disk drives because i didn't want to hurt them with many reboots or resets.
What did i find? It is strange, kernel version is not important because i checked most of them.
I removed 2x2TB Seagate F14 series along with 4x3TB WD Green. Then i checked s2ram, it went to suspend, and resumes correctly. Everything works. I put it to sleep with s2ram -f -a 1. Works
I attached my 4x3TB WD Green drives. I put computer to sleep with s2ram...it causes hard lock, black screen, i could do only poweroff by powerbutton. s2ram -f -a 1 causes freez. Sometimes, but not constantly, s2ram -f -a 3 -p is being able to suspend...(mostly it does a freez, hard lock computer) but sometimes it is able to put it to a sleep, but resume just freezes everyting - no blinking cursor, no blinking num lock led and so on.
I know that you would suggest me to check logs - this is the main problem. Logs for pm-suspend works when i suspend or resume without WD drives attached. When i have them connected, i'm not able to check pm-logs because computer hangs, freezes and logs are not being stored/writed to pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Could somebody help? Point me to a solution? I can't check logs because there are not any when freezing occurs. I checked openSuse thread and many others and for other systems there were some kernel fixex, patches.
They wrote that WD blacks are at fault because they don't have APM. Well, in fact my WD Green have APM with very aggresive factory settings: they park heads over 8 seconds not being used. I disabled it in firmware but disabling it is not the point and not the problem. People have the same problem even with APM and parking heads on other WD drives, i found it that some have it with WD Red's drives and even with very old 320GB WD Blue series - what is more funny, i have 640GB AAKS blue from WD and with this drive i can suspend or resume - APM on this drive is also unavilable, like in Green series because i changed it with wdidle with prebootable cd. I can't supend or resume with 3TB WD Greens.
BTW - suspend to disk, with pm-utils and uswsusp works ok, in 100% every time. (i had to add "shutdown method = shutdown" to /etc/suspend.conf from uswsusp package).
On Windows machine it works. Can suspend, can resume, can hibernate.

Hm, sometimes i found myself astonished because some things just does not work at all on one machine, while the other one has no problem at all. I was trying to find why suspend to ram won't work at all...and while i was searching i found one topic that was leading to upower dbus. Similar problem with upower i found, by coincidence, on Manjaro forum.
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
this command above returns all the time:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist
I tried this:
sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
As soon as i enabled and started acpid.service...my supend to ram, from kde, works like a charm, without graphic problem, or freezing.
There is few question: why on my desktop suspend doesen't work out of the box, when even archwiki says it should? Why on my netbook machine (Acer AOD270) that has the same package installed it works out of the box? Why on my desktop machine acpid.service was not enabled, was not started and was not running while on the notebook it does?
Anyway...i fixed it by a big coincidence because on Fedora forum somebody has problem with suspend to ram with nvidia GTX750 and this card was new like my card (GTX660). He posted the same problem with upower that i posted in quotes and because of this i found another thing on Manjaro forum and that was it!
BTW - this problem, i now think, is not related to my WD drives because it works with them. I think that there was another one ugly thing that broke my suspend to ram ability - bios of my motherboard (so called uefi bios with support for old one) has no option for S1-S5 stated (like the previous motherboards had) and only have ASPM...and ASPM is in my opinion broken but i will try to veryfi it one again later.

MMS over WiFi not working after Sense 6 Update

A week ago Monday, the Sense 6 update hit my phone. Once loaded, I could no longer send MMS over WiFi, stream Google Play Music over WiFi, access my content on Google Play Books, or back up my pics to Google Cloud over WiFi. After several days of e-mails back and forth with HTC, it was determined that I had to perform a Hard Reset and lose all my information. This after clearing the cache, re-booting, various Safe Mode re-boots, etc. Nothing worked. I finally gave in and performed the hard reset. Now, the only thing NOT working is MMS over WiFi. I've tried other WiFi networks and still no MMS functionality. After about 10 minutes, I get a red triangle next to the message and an error notification, "Generic Network Failure."
This is going to start costing me money. Like so many of us, I no longer have unlimited data. Now, every time I want to send an MMS, I have to use my data plan. Not cool. I'm hoping that someone sees this and is working on the problem. I love my HTC One (M7), I really do. But, we're talking basic smart phone functionality. Without it, I'll be looking for another phone, and perhaps even another carrier. I'd prefer not to do that, but so be it. Please, Verizon, a little help?
For what it's worth, the MMS does this first. Notice the little MMS icon with the clock lower right...it just hangs there first...and sorry about the shoe pic.
Next, it does the Red Triangle thing...
And that's all I know. Perhaps someone here, or a kindly VZW employee will see this and take pity. Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

My apple tv remote play button is not working so i can not access anything...what can i do?

My remote will not work on Apple TV. The play button does not play so I can not access any content. What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.
