It would be great if someone could share and provide some useful pointers/ advice on the feasibility of running .Net C# code on Linux Headless VPS Servers.
Hi All
I'm trying to bring virtual guest from headless mode to gui mode in VirtualBox. But I don't know how to do it. I really appreciate if someone help me on this.
I usually run linux virtual machines in headless mode and connect to it through ssh. I have setup tigervnc-server on linux virtual machine, so that i can connect through vncviewer whenever i want to work on gui.
But recently, one of my friend said, I can also start virtual machine in headless mode in VirtualBox window by holding <SHIFT> key and press Start. Sure it did, it started in headless mode. But, now I don't know how to bring back window again.
Thanks you.
hi guys,
just a quick one on virtualbox...
could i have centos 7 running virtual box...then host another 3 vm's on it that are running live at the same time?
or is this best for vmware?
i would like centos 7
then another centos7 vm
debian vm
slackware vm (headless)
its a i5 with 8gb RAM...the vm's wont be doing much work,prob ssh into each to setup things and experiment
maybe run a couple of small wordpress web sites...nothing drastic...
any advice on the best way to get this result?
Hello to all. I was having trouble mounting an NFS network share (on a NAS) on Arch Linux running on a Wandboard. This is a small dedicated headless system that has one function - running Logitech Media Server (LMS). The Linux implementation is called SqueezeOnArch (SOA).
I found a solution: The NAS (a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+) uses NFS version 3, and Arch Linux requires the rpcbind service to mount an NFS3 share. With rpcbind started, I can mount the share. But the problem is that the SOA implementation of Linux doesn't start rpcbind by default.
Now I need to figure out how to make sure that the rpcbind service is enabled and started at boot, or at some point before the share is mounted. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance

I am trying to convert a PDF document from an Excel and PowerPoint document. I installed it and ran the command. It gives no warning.. Just doesn't create a new PDF document. I've successfully done this before, but I think it was a different server. I've checked file permissions, but don't think it is the issue (I've tried as a normal user and as root).
I could convert doc, docx, and txt files, but not xls, xlsx, ppt, and pptx files.
Thoughts why? Is there a verbose option or a log file which I could check for clues?
Thank you

I am running a headless Linux 17 media/NAS server. I have setup and tested the plexconnect script and it works. My only issue is that I can't figure out how to get the script to automatically run on startup. I tried using the GUI, but it doesn't seem to work.
To get it to work, I have to open terminal and navigate to the directory:
/usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/
Then run: sudo ./PlexConnect.py
The window has to remain open in order to keep running (which isn't an issue as it's headless). I'd just like to not have to login and start it each time the power goes out, or is rebooted.
I tried editing the crontab file and adding the following variations with no luck:
@reboot python /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py
@reboot /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py
Neither has worked. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Hi All,
Hopefully a simple question to answer. I am going to be setting up multiple Apache web servers behind a F5 load balancer and need to share the documentRoot out to all the servers. I have a dedicated SAN which I want to use and I've been searching to find a concrete document that states if its ok to use an iscsi drive or NFS mounted to all web servers but haven't seen anything concrete to say thats the normal or best practice way to setup that environment. My main concern is writing to the file at the same etc.
Can someone advise what they do for multiple web servers?
Thanks
Hey Everyone,
I'm pretty new to linux, I'm a long time mac user, and have been using a Mac Mini as my Plex and wordpress server for some time. Looking at Apples latest generation of Mac Minis, it looks like they no longer are a great option for servers. So here's my setup and wants in a nut shell.
Currently my Mac Mini hosts 3 wordpress sites and is my Plex server. The machine is running OS 10.10.2 Yosemite with Server running, and has 2 Drobo Gen 2 devices attached via Firewire 800.
I use 1 Drobo for my Plex Media, and the other drobo is used for machine backup.
Reading online, Looks like the Drobo 1 and 2 Genereations only show up as 2TB max segments on Linux So I would scrap the Drobo cases and put all the drives internal into the linux server tower.
I want to build a new Linux server that can take over these tasks. So my wants would be, A linux server that can host more than 1 wordpress site, run plex, and would have a RAID setup similar to Drobo, where I can add more drives or replace smaller/failed drives easily enough (doesn't have to be automatic rebuild like the drobo, as long as its possible and not to tricky to do)
what Linux Server OS and other options should I be looking at?
thanks everyone in advance!!

Hi,
I have a target board running embedded Linux, and a host PC that runs Ubuntu. I want to be able to transfer files from the host PC to the target board through serial interface, (something like I have a terminal program on the host side that talks to the target, and I issue some command from the terminal to transfer a file to the target, the target receive the file and store it in some RAM location for later), How can I do it?
I know how to do this using ymodem on the host terminal and loady on target's u-boot command prompt, but how can I do it when target is running Linux?
Thank you all,
Wei
I am trying to code a python script that does:- Using root account logs into multiple servers provided in a list. Check the OS type e.g. Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows. Depending on the OS type it updates the name servers and options in /etc/resolv.conf. The update is done from a list that is also provided.
Any help is much appreciated.
