Install Remote Desktop on Debian.

[Lobkerr]

Hi, I would like to show you how to install remote desktop on your server that has Debian and we can not connect to it using mstsc from windows.
Of course we can use the console rota through SSH, but I think that for the Linux users who have never had contact with such a solution can be very helpful.
Here we go:

1.Enter the console command:

Code:

apt-get update

then:

Code:

apt-get upgrade

Now install xorg'a, in this case type:

Code:

apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg

Now install the GDM, in this situation, type:

Code:

apt-get install gdm

Now our desktop environment we will use GNOME, install command:

Code:

apt-get install gnome

Now we add the user who will use our remote desktop to add the user use the command:

Code:

adduser debian

- In my case, let it be a user such as "Debian"

Excellent, we have already installed on your desktop Debianie.Teraz need to install client nxclient, nxserver and nx node.W this case we use the wget command in a console type:
Aha, here was any remark that now, download the client which is designed for 32-bit distributions:

First

Code:

For Xandros Desktop 4.1/Xandros Server 2.0, Debian GNU Linux 4.0 Etch/5.0 Lenny, Ubuntu 5.10 Dapper Breezy Badger/6.06 Drake/6.10/Edgy Eft/7.04 Fawn/7.10 Feisty Gutsy Hardy Gibbon/8.04 Heron/8.10 Intrepid Ibex / Ubuntu 9.04 Jackalope/9.10 Karmic Jaunty Koala/10.4 Lucid Lynx

If you have a distribution which we write in here gave rota console command:

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxnode_3.4.0-16_i386.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/FE/nxserver_3.4.0-16_i386.deb

If we choose the other distribution is appropriate for her and this is what other packages for other distributions:
Second

Code:

For Red Hat Enterprise 4/5, SuSe 10/10.1/10.2/10.3/11/Enterprise 10, 10.1/2005/2006/2007/2008/2009 Mandriva, Fedora Linux Core 3/4/5/6, Fedora 7/8 / 9/10/11/12/13

Here's what we write if we have a distribution that is higher:

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxclient-3.4.0-7.i386.rpm
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxnode-3.4.0-16.i386.rpm
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/FE/nxserver-3.4.0-16.i386.rpm

While he did not find the appropriate client for your distribution remains for us to look for here:

Third

Code:

For Red Hat Enterprise 4/5, SuSe 10/10.1/10.2/10.3/11/Enterprise 10, 10.1/2005/2006/2007/2008/2009 Mandriva, Fedora Linux Core 3/4/5/6, Fedora 7/8 / 9/10/11/12/13, Xandros Desktop 4.1/Xandros Server 2.0, Debian GNU Linux 4.0 Etch/5.0 Lenny, Ubuntu 5.10 Dapper Breezy Badger/6.06 Drake/6.10/Edgy Eft/7.04 Fawn/7.10 Feisty Gutsy Gibbon / Hardy Heron/8.10 8.04 Intrepid Ibex / Ubuntu 9.04 Karmic Jaunty Jackalope/9.10 Koala/10.4 Lucid Lynx

Here's the command:

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxclient-3.4.0-7.i386.tar.gz
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxnode-3.4.0-16.i386.tar.gz
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/FE/nxserver-3.4.0-16.i386.tar.gz

And now, 64 - bit versions:
First

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxclient_3.4.0-7_x86_64.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxnode_3.4.0-16_x86_64.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/FE/nxserver_3.4.0-15_x86_64.deb

Second

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64.rpm
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxnode-3.4.0-16.x86_64.rpm
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/FE/nxserver-3.4.0-15.x86_64.rpm

Third

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64.tar.gz
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/nxnode-3.4.0-16.x86_64.tar.gz
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Linux/FE/nxserver-3.4.0-15.x86_64.tar.gz

I only provide links to download for other distributions, if we have any problem with the other distribution is here bows to us Google.

Well when we pulled everything you need to install dpkg-in this case it looks like this:

Code:

dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb
dpkg -i nxnode_3.4.0-16_i386.deb
dpkg -i nxserver_3.4.0-16_i386.deb

For 64-bit:

Code:

dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxnode_3.4.0-16_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxserver_3.4.0-15_x86_64.deb

Note! If an error occurs, enter the command:

Code:

apt-get-f install

Then again, install our client:

Code:

dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxnode_3.4.0-16_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxserver_3.4.0-15_x86_64.deb

If all we did well restart the SSH server and nxserver to do this, type the command:

Code:

/etc/init.d/ssh restart
/etc/init.d/nxserver restart

Excellent! We installed our remote desktop to our server, and now only need to download a client for our Windows.
Get it from this link:

Code:

http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/Windows/nxclient-3.4.0-10.exe

1.If downloaded the pack this leaves us no choice but to install the "it": D
2.Teraz go to the configuration:

Select Start-> All Programs-> NX Client for Windows-> NX Connection Wizard

1.Login: Here we login who had added to our client for Linux in my case it was a "Debian".
2.Password: This is our motto which is also stated at the step when we added the user to Linux. (I skipped this step but it is certainly a poradzicie)
3.Sesja our session here that stated at the beginning of the configuration or how you remember, in our case it was a "Maly232"

It's the end click Login, and after a while you will see the long awaited your Remote Desktop to your server!.

Hi,

Good tutorial, but "apt-get update" and "upgrade" doesn't need, it's may already updated .

[casper253]

Anyone try it out yet.do it work with any linux or only debian.thanks for sharing.I will try it after couple comment

[iCarrot]

To fit on a low end VPS, you might want to use another more lightweight desktop environment, like XFCE.

[ReadyToGo]

This is only for Debian desktop?
Or too for Debian server?

[Nevil]

Debian Desktop has a GUI installed already.

This is for Debian Servers.

[Flopix]

I tried to install as the tutorial says, but gives me an error. Does what one be?

Srry for my bad English.

[Nevil]

Would you be so kind to post your error message .

[DeathProxy]

And which step did you get this error?

[tallship]

I followed along through most of this tut. It could use some cleaning up, but essentially, looks to be pretty good. And, as one person pointed out, this is for a debian server.

I like FreeNX - and Remina too. I often use KRDC too which, as strictly a client, works well with RDP as well as VNC.

Thanks for the tutorial, I'll put some scripted variation of this to some good use and maybe post back here on my progress
