Remote Control (installation)

For this case I will be using a lot of the graphic interface. Like most Linux servers I build, they are no graphical interface and I purely use SSH remote access.
But in this case I will use it, but I would like to use a remote access.
For a long time I used to use VNC but ran in a lot of problems, specialy the idea of one password protection didnt appeal to me.
Also I’m a Windows OS user at home at work were 80% of servers are Windows, so Remote Desktop is what I use most of the time.

Now I will show you how to use the standard Microsoft Remote Desktop Client on an Ubuntu server.

The solution is a combination of TigerVNC Server and xRDP.
Lets go on the site: http://tigervnc.org/
Go on -> Releases -> follow the link for available binary. -> Go to Files.

Find the “ubuntu-16.04LTS” folder than “amd64” download the file:
“tigervncserver_1.7.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb”

Here is a direct link for version 1.7.1: Link

CMD: sudo apt-get install libtasn1-3-bin
CMD: sudo dpkg -i tigervncserver_1.7.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
CMD: sudo apt-get install xrdp -y

Plex Media Server (installation)

https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/1.3.4.3285-b46e0ea/plexmediaserver_1.3.4.3285-b46e0ea_amd64.deb

CMD: sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.3.4.3285-b46e0ea_amd64.deb 
CMD: sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver

Samba (installation)

You know it’s always a good thing to have a few shared folders to help with files transfers. So let’s install Samba on our system.

CMD: sudo apt-get install -y samba samba-common python-glade2 system-config-samba

Deluge Torrent Client (installation)

Now we are going to install the deluge web torrent client. This installation is a little bit more manual.

We are going to create a special user called “deluge”, after create some log files for it.

CMD: sudo adduser --disabled-password --system --home /var/lib/deluge --gecos "Deluge service" --group deluge
CMD: sudo touch /var/log/deluged.log
CMD: sudo touch /var/log/deluge-web.log
CMD: sudo chown deluge:deluge /var/log/deluge*

We are going to install deluged and deluge web UI now.

CMD: sudo apt-get install deluged deluge-webui -y

CMD: sudo apt-get install -f

CMD: cd
CMD: echo unity>~/.xsession
CMD: nano .xsession
add the following text before "unity"
****
/usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-binary --session=ubuntu &
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity/unity-panel-service &
/usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/unity-settings-daemon &

for indicator in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-*; 
do
  basename=`basename ${indicator}`
  dirname=`dirname ${indicator}`
  service=${dirname}/${basename}/${basename}-service
  ${service} &
done
****

CMD: cd /etc/xrdp
CMD: setxkbmap -query | awk -F":" '/layout/ {print $2}'
CMD: setxkbmap -layout (the result of the previous CMD)
CMD: sudo cp /etc/xrdp/km-0409.ini /etc/xrdp/km-0409.ini.bak
CMD: sudo xrdp-genkeymap km-0409.ini

CMD: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service
