| Barco | Anyone have experience with Rdp Connections to Virtualbox on Ubuntu? | 18:23 |
| alkisg | Yes, next question? :) | 18:23 |
| Barco | I'm struggling to connect. I have set up bridging on the vbox host and am using port 3389. But am unable to connect | 18:25 |
| alkisg | You're not using LTSP, right? | 18:25 |
| Barco | Jup, will that interfere with Rdp? | 18:26 |
| alkisg | I'm just asking to understand your setup | 18:27 |
| Barco | Ok let me elaborate. | 18:27 |
| alkisg | So, you're running LTSP, but you're just trying vbox on your server, not relatead to LTSP clients? | 18:27 |
| Barco | Using Ltsp kiosk setup and Vbox running Windows7. | 18:28 |
| Barco | Initally I would just like to remote into Vbox. | 18:28 |
| Barco | But would like to do this from an Ltsp client. | 18:29 |
| alkisg | OK so initially are you trying this directly on your ltsp server? | 18:30 |
| Barco | Yes, just to verify that everything is ok with the Rdp setup first. This is where I got stuck. | 18:30 |
| Barco | Found an article about "Pam auth" being a stumbling block, installed the settings and it's as far as I got. | 18:31 |
| alkisg | Erm, you don't need anything pam related to connect to a windows VM | 18:31 |
| alkisg | Are you trying with the windows rdp server, or with the vbox rdp server? | 18:32 |
| Barco | Trying to use Vbox rdp server. | 18:33 |
| Barco | Have set it up in Vbox. Also setup Windows to allow incoming Rdp connections. Now that you ask I am wondering if thei | 18:33 |
| alkisg | That's for a single client, it wouldn't be very useful | 18:33 |
| alkisg | Disable the vbox rdp and try with the windows rdp server | 18:34 |
| Barco | Ok. one moment. | 18:34 |
| Barco | Only get network activity and no connection. It still fails. What domain do you use on a Vbox machine? | 18:40 |
| alkisg | I'm not using a domain | 18:41 |
| alkisg | Did you enable the windows 7 rdp server? | 18:41 |
| Barco | Neither am I, left it blank but just confirming. | 18:42 |
| Barco | I activated it yes. | 18:42 |
| alkisg | What error message does rdesktop display? | 18:42 |
| Barco | Cannot connect to client, fails with an error about setting up a sound device | 18:43 |
| Barco | I'll see if I can copy the exact error message - timeout is quite long. | 18:44 |
| alkisg | To "client"? Not to "server"? And, what command line are you using? | 18:45 |
| Barco | Used the gui interface | 18:46 |
| alkisg | Try from the command line, it shows better error messages | 18:46 |
| alkisg | rdesktop server-ip | 18:47 |
| Barco | Will do, 192.168.0.176 Gui shows unable to connect. | 18:48 |
| alkisg | Also, can you ping the ip? | 18:48 |
| Barco | Yes, ping comes back ok | 18:49 |
| Barco | To me it seems like a permission based issue, since connecting to a network share will return a fail the same way. What do you think? | 18:54 |
| alkisg | Barco: then it would be a windows issue, try asking in #windows about it | 19:08 |
| alkisg | Vbox doesn't have any settings for specifying permissions for bridged adapters | 19:09 |
| Barco | you're right there, no other settings on Vbox. | 19:18 |
| Barco | Alkisg: Have you ever run Windows host's through Ltsp using Vbox? | 19:19 |
| alkisg | Yes, it works fine | 19:19 |
| alkisg | Windows guests, you mean | 19:19 |
| Barco | yes, sorry typo. | 19:22 |
| Barco | How many guest's have you been able to run concurrently and what hardware where you using? | 19:22 |
| alkisg | We've tried it with fat clients, so one windows vm can run in any number of fat clients | 19:23 |
| alkisg | Many labs, no specific hardware, anything with e.g. 1 Gb ram should do | 19:23 |
| Barco | You mean running the Vm as a local app? | 19:26 |
| alkisg | Yes, fat clients run everything as local apps | 19:26 |
