[12:48] <mgariepy> good morning everyone
[13:14] <stgraber> good morning
[13:32] <alkisg> Good morning
[14:39] <highvoltage> good morning
[18:23] <Barco> Anyone have experience with Rdp Connections to Virtualbox on Ubuntu?
[18:23] <alkisg> Yes, next question? :)
[18:25] <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?
[18:26] <Barco> Jup, will that interfere with Rdp?
[18:27] <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?
[18:28] <Barco> Using Ltsp kiosk setup and Vbox running Windows7.
[18:28] <Barco> Initally I would just like to remote into Vbox.
[18:29] <Barco> But would like to do this from an Ltsp client.
[18:30] <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.
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <alkisg> Are you trying with the windows rdp server, or with the vbox rdp server?
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <alkisg> Disable the vbox rdp and try with the windows rdp server
[18:34] <Barco> Ok. one moment.
[18:40] <Barco> Only get network activity and no connection. It still fails. What domain do you use on a Vbox machine?
[18:41] <alkisg> I'm not using a domain
[18:41] <alkisg> Did you enable the windows 7 rdp server?
[18:42] <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?
[18:43] <Barco> Cannot connect to client, fails with an error about setting up a sound device
[18:44] <Barco> I'll see if I can copy the exact error message - timeout is quite long.
[18:45] <alkisg> To "client"? Not to "server"? And, what command line are you using?
[18:46] <Barco> Used the gui interface
[18:46] <alkisg> Try from the command line, it shows better error messages
[18:47] <alkisg> rdesktop server-ip
[18:48] <Barco> Will do, 192.168.0.176 Gui shows unable to connect.
[18:48] <alkisg> Also, can you ping the ip?
[18:49] <Barco> Yes, ping comes back ok
[18:54] <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?
[19:08] <alkisg> Barco: then it would be a windows issue, try asking in #windows about it
[19:09] <alkisg> Vbox doesn't have any settings for specifying permissions for bridged adapters
[19:18] <Barco> you're right there, no other settings on Vbox.
[19:19] <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
[19:22] <Barco> yes, sorry typo.
[19:22] <Barco> How many guest's have you been able to run concurrently and what hardware where you using?
[19:23] <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
[19:26] <Barco> You mean running the Vm as a local app?
[19:26] <alkisg> Yes, fat clients run everything as local apps
