  • Maquinas virtuales remotas sobre RDP con VirtualBox en Ubuntu

    Una vez activado el servidor integrado de VRDP en VirtualBox, el resto es una conexión de RDP común y corriente usando el “Cliente de Terminal Server” bajo “Aplicaciones>Internet>”, excepto por las dos siguientes condiciones:

    1. El protocoloo a usar deber ser “RDP”, ya que “DRPv5” no funcionara.
    2. Aqui en donde todos tienen problemas. Para la direccion del servidor (Equipo:) se debe poner la IP del anfitrion (HOST) y NO la del huesped (guest) como normalmente se haria.

  • Ubuntu on MSI Wind with Ralink wireless radio

    I just got my wife a new MSI wind netbook. First things first, Installed Ubuntu.

    Everything just worked out of the box, except the wireless.

    Turns out MSI is using several wireless card suppliers. Mine came with a Ralink card. More specifically the RT2860

    The are several ways to fix it, but to keep things simple, I’ll go with debian’s way, which is also the easiest.

    1. Just download and install the following .DEB
    2. sudo apt-get install debhelper module-assistant
    3. sudo m-a a-i rt2860
    4. sudo modprobe rt2860sta
    5. sudo gedit /etc/modules , and append “rt2860sta” at the bottom. (without the quotes).
    6. Save the file, and connect with the Network Manager

    Done!

  • Installing Xmonad on Ubuntu

    This is the simplest (I think) that a window manager can get.

    From the makers:

    xmonad is a dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written and configured in Haskell. In a normal WM, you spend half your time aligning and searching for windows. xmonad makes work easier, by automating this.

    A window manager that is completely different. To leave distractions aside and concentrate on real work, is very hard to beat xmonad. This is simplicity as its best. It Rocks.

    By the way, it can co-exist with your other windows managers so you can use it on a per need basis. Just chose it on the login window by pressing F10.

    http://xmonad.org/

    To install on Ubuntu:

    sudo apt-get install xmonad

    Be sure to read the guided tour first and learn all the basic stuff here otherwise I guarantee you wont get anywhere.

    The least you should learn is Alt-shift-enter to be able to open a terminal and Alt-shift-q to quit

  • SSH y X11 redireccionamiento

    1) En el computador que queremos acceder remotamente (llamemoslo anfitrion) instalamos OpenSSH

    sudo apt-get install ssh

    luego modificamos el archivo /etc/ssh/ssh_config

    cambiamos

    # ForwardX11 no

    por

    ForwardX11 yes.

    2) En el computador cliente, en la terminal:

    ssh -XC usuario@anfitrion (la C es para activar compresión, usuario es el nombre del usuario en el computador anfitrion)

    Y para arrangar la aplicaion remota, por ejempo firefox o tomboy

    firefox &

    tomboy &

    Listo!
