I'm working on a Linux virtual machine on a Windows computer and doing tests on a website using RobotFramework. I would like to open the Internet Explorer browser on this windows computer from my Linux RobotFramework script.
Do you know a way to do this? Thank you.
Previously, I already tried to use Grid Selenium but that did not suit me because the option "timeout" of "open browser" did not work under ExetendedSelenium2library.
The Internet Explorer on your Windows machine hosting the Linux VM is a Windows-compatible binary, so cannot be executed natively under Linux. You can execute Windows-compatible binaries via Wine however, but compatibility is not very good. It's much more common to run Windows in a virtual machine in order to run Internet Explorer, not the other way around.

I have searched the questions and have not found an answer to this one:
I am developing an existing project (git repo) that runs only on Linux. For the time being I have at my disposal only a windows laptop which I cannot modify. This laptop has Intellij installed and internet access. I cannot, for example, create a Linux VM on this laptop.
Is there a way I can put the project code on an Amazon ec2 Linux instance and build the project on that instance, while viewing and developing the code in Intellij? All compilation and code execution has to be done remotely, on the ec2 Linux instance. I cannot build locally and push from the windows laptop.
2 possible configurations might be:
(1) install intellij on the ec2 instance and x-window in from windows to view the intellij screens;
(2) use the intellij on the Windows laptop and somehow point the intellij to the ec2 instance in order to view, edit, build, and run the project on that instance.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
ec2 with enough memory for development is billed / hour. For 32gb RAM it's >$80/month (always online ~450h).
You could use wls 2 under windows. You can install IDEA and use it trough X server like
VcXsrv and access to windows files. It's not the best idea to run full GNOME (even xfce4). Google chrome also works very well
Downsides are:
(still) slow access to drive compared to raw Linux
I cannot configure WSL to access same VPN as in Windows. It simply cuts off internet connection for WSL while I click connect in windows.
I am interested in downloading the Internet Explorer on my SUSE-linux server which is telnet'd from my local linux machine.
I need to install the Wireshark and SNMP browsing tools on the server and would like to therefore have an internet explorer installed on the server.
Please help me with the installation.
Internet Exploder only runs on Windows machines. You might be wanting to install all of this on a Windows Server and then run these tools against a Linux machine, but you're not going to natively be successful loading IE on a Linux Server.
There is an option that I'll mention you can check out Crossover Office from Codeweavers, it's got the ability to run the appropriate WINE drivers and environment so that you could do what you are asking, but there is no guarantee that the overall scheme of running Wireshark will work.
Im currently running CentOS (6.6) on a virtual machine that i got from another person
He is not using the default GUI file explorer and looks to be much more advanced that the regular GUI file explorer that comes with CentOS
Is there any way to find out what GUI he installed on the machine via command?
I have a set of machines, a mixture of Linux and Windows Boxes.
I hav set up rsync to pull from the Linux Machines to a Linux Server box.
I am trying to accomplish the same using cwRsync, to pull to the Linux box from the windows machines. I have downloaded the free version from https://www.itefix.no/i2/content/cwrsync-free-edition and also I have downloaded CopSSH. I have managed to install CopSSH fine and I am able to SSH between the Linux and Windows hosts no problem using keys rather than passwords.
However, for the life of me I can't get this cwRsync working, I've googled the matter to death, and your meant to unzip the directory, configure the environment settings in the batch file then install it. However, there is nothing to install it with! and the reason it isn't working is because it needs to install a windows service for it to run.
Any help would be much appreciated!
As described at itefix web page for the free edition, it allows to initiate rsync from your Windows machine, i.e. client functionality only (push data). Server functionality allowing you to set up an rsync server on Windows to pull data from it is not a part of the free edition.
I have been using X11 with windows Maker provided with cygwin package for multi windows in windows Xp. Currently I am moving to windows 7 but unable to install cygwin.
Is there any other multi windowing system like windows maker for cygwin on windows ?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I really like to use MobaXterm as nice ssh client, but more importantly as very lightweight and fast X server for Windows.
Typical usage on Windows: start MobaXterm, then from its console ssh user#linux-box. Now, you can simply execute any GUI program on your Linux box, like gedit, eclipse, etc., and it simply works! This is because MobaXterm automatically supports forwarding of you graphical DISPLAY from Linux to Windows.
This method for remote access works much faster than VNC. Performance is actually similar to Remote Desktop, if not even faster.
