VNCSERVER on OEL5 in Amazons Cloud

Greetings -
I have successfully deployed an OEL 5 image with Oracle 11.1.0.7 (32-bit) in AWS.
I can ssh via putty (with my putty gen converted key) successfully. I did have to set up port forward on 5901 in putty, and successfully access roots desktop.
My question is: what steps can I take to access oracle's desktop ? Do I have to generate a pem for oracle, convert a copy via puttygen ?
If I switch user to oracle in putty, and launch vncviewer, I get roots desktop? There is only a logout option, not logout and login as another user.
Bottom line is, how can I access the graphical tools like dbca, installer, etc as they can't (and or shouldn't) be run as root?
Thanks

thanks, I may need more options. On aws their is an external firewall, but that's not big deal. I can open it up for any ports I need. Pretty simple there.
but...the somehome setup default security so you can only ssh to root, no password, but a putty converted ppk file (converted from the server pem file.) once there, you can su - oracle. once oracle, you can even su - back to root, with the root password. but you cannot ssh to oracle directly, else I don't think I'd have this issue.
I have to put a port forward into ssh config for 5901 for vncserver to work. Apparently, it's data needs a ride, so it uses ssh to get there.
I wil try your suggestions, but I seem to have another bit of a stumbling block. When I try and run the graphical user tool, it refuses, stating a missmatch between etc/password and shadow password, or etc groups and shadow groups file. After a cursory look, I didn't detect anything, but I'll look further into as soon as I can.
Busy week, and weekend, as I am doing yet another data refresh from a production database to a non-prod database all weekend, cuz it has to be done by monday. Everythings a crisis, don't you know.
Thanks though - and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

  • TS1539 I get this errror message with a batch of 21 songs I bought as MP3's on Amazon, installed into Amazon Cloud, and uploaded to itunes. After that, they will NOT sync to my ipod Classic 120g.  This has no happended in previous uploads using the same p

    Clearly I thought I was typing my Q in here, but it loaded into the headline.
    The issue is my inability to sync songs (purchased from Amazon, and downloaded with Amazon Cloud Player) to my ipod 120G Classic.
    21 songs (most recent, as I buy from time to time, but have never had this problem) will not sync to ipod, but will show up in Music files/library.
    The error message is -50, and I did the step-by-step procedure to update the appleipod.bat file (?) with no success.
    This problem never occured before.
    I have restored the ipod to original settings, deleted and reinstalled the songs many times and now have hours and hours into trying to simply get some new songs onto my ipod...
    HELP!!
    thanks

  • Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying a ipad. Can I transfer songs from my amazon cloud over to icloud without having to repurchase?

    Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying an ipad. Can I transfer songs and pictures from amazon cloud over to icloud?

    Yes, and there are a couple ways to do this, and it may depend on what kind of songs you are talking about.
    If you purchased songs from Amazon's ecosystem, and it is stored in their cloud, you can do the following:
    1) Download their app.
         The app is called Amazon Cloud Player. The link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
    2) Download the songs from their cloud, to your computer and then sync with iTunes
         This is the method I use, and all the music is then stored in the Music app, already on the iOS device. The upside to this method would be that all the other applications you have can access these songs too, such as apps for an alarm clock.
    3) Upload pictures and songs to Dropbox
         This way all the content is stored in the cloud, and can be accessed anywhere and anytime.
    For the pictures, you're most likely going to have to sync with iTunes to do that, or you can put them in Dropbox.

  • Trouble Connecting to FMS in the Amazon Cloud

    I get the following error message when I try to connect to and stream videos that I have uploaded to the Amazon Cloud (AWS Streaming Distribution) using the basic Strobe Media Playback:
    Connection attempt rejected by FMS server
    Connection failed.
    However, the same connection string nets a successful connection and streaming using both Amazon's Streaming Diagnostic Client as well as test Flash apps that I have created.
    Here is what I am using in my StrobeMediaPlayback.html file:

    I get the same error message whether I try using a .flv file (with and without the file extension) or a .f4v file (using the mp4: prefix).
    Thanks for your help.

    Silviu, thanks for that.
    Chris' post thread was very helpful.  It's getting closer, but still not there yet.
    Following are some test links that might help to see what is happening.  In each example, you can view the page source in your browser to see how the player is setup and referencing the connection path and video file.
    This first example shows the JW Player, which successfully streams a video from our Amazon RTMP Cloudfront.  Notice that the "_definst_" is not required in the connection path:
    http://107.20.182.109/keithweb/JWPlayer/JWembed.html
    This next example shows the Adobe Strobe Media Player setup using the JavaScript method.  Before, I was getting a failed connection message.  But now after reading Chris's post thread and adding the "_definst_" to the connection string, the connection is being made but the player still does not recognize the same video file that the JW Player can stream in the first example.  This example nets a "Stream Not Found" error:
    http://107.20.182.109/keithweb/Adobe/StrobeMediaPlayback.html
    Finally, this last example shows the Adobe Strobe Media Player setup with the embed method using the <object> tag.  Again, the same video file that was able to be streamed with the JW Player gets an error here.  However, it is not a "Stream Not Found" as in the previous example.  This time you need to click on the "play" button to see the following error:  "Playback failed.  Invalid tincan object name (stream ID: 1)."
    http://107.20.182.109/keithweb/Adobe/StrobeMediaPlayback_II.html
    Again, I truly appreciate your time and assistance with this.  Any further light that you can shed on the situation would be wonderful.  I will continue to look into it myself, as well, to try to see if I have made some silly mistake that is just not apparent at this time.
    Thank you very much.

  • I purchased an album from amazon, how can i download it from Amazon cloud to my itunes on my iphone

    I purchased an album from Amazon on my iPhone last night. The album is in Amazon Cloud and I have downloaded it to my device. The album, however, does not show up in my iTunes on my phone, I can only see it if I go into Amazon Cloud Player app.  Is there a way I can transfer those songs from Amazon Cloud Player to my iTunes music app on my phone?

    You can get the Amazon app for your iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
    However, this will not add the music to your iTunes library. You will need to use it for your Amazon music and the iPhone built in Music app for your iTunes music.

  • Can't seem to stream (RTMP) an FLV file in Flash Media Playback from the Amazon Cloud

    I seem to be having trouble streaming any FLV file using RTMP from the Amazon Cloud.  Other file formats (i.e., MP4, F4V) seem to work just fine.
    I tried using your Flash Media Playback demo page and still had the same problem:
    http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/
    Without publicly displaying the actual connection path here, this is what I am using for the Video Source (URL):
    rtmp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/_definst_/MyVideo.flv
    If I change the "MyVideo.flv" to "mp4:MyVideo.f4v", for example, then it works.  But when I try to reference any FLV file that I have located on the Amazon Cloud then it just shows continuous buffering.
    The FLV files that I am trying to use with both the Strobe and Flash Media Playback(s) all stream just fine when I connect to them via other Flash based applications/players that I have.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello,
    The link to the previous post does not seem to apply or help in this case.  Please let me know if I am wrong.
    I am merely trying to stream any FLV file using your Flash Media Playback demo page.  What am I missing here?
    Thanks again.

  • OBIEE on Amazon Cloud

    Hi Experts,
    we are plaaning to setup our production server on Amazon cloud.
    kindly mention the details to install and configure the OBIEE and OBIA on cloud
    Regards
    Ankit

    It all depends on the OS you install on the Cloud server. The server being a cloud server shouldn't affect anything as such. Let us know what OS you have installed on there and we could suggest the installation path. Here's the Oracle Document for 11.1.1.6.0: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e10539/toc.htm
    and for OBIA 7.9.6.3: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19038/toc.htm
    Please assign points if helpful/correct.
