Over the last few days I got vnc to a GCE Linux vm working. Moral of the story: forget gnome, go with xfce.
Got Google Chrome installed from command line. I'm attempting to install Talend Open Studio on the vm, but navigating the website is miserable via vnc.
Has anyone figured a way to apt-get install TalendStudio? I don't think it exists so looking for the closest to it.
You can browse and download TOS to the physical machine as where the VM resides . Then, you could use SCP / SFTP to transfer the TOS file to the VM .
Some VM packages allow sharing a folder between the physical machine and VMs. That would also allow easy transfer of the file to the VM.

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 am trying to access my Windows computer files inside of my Virtualbox VM.
I have already added file paths to the Virtualbox Shared Folders as permanent Machine Folders with 'automount' active. I still can't view these files within the VM.
I have also attempted to download the VirtualBox Guest Additions, but it fails to load.
The system runs on redhat - not sure if that's part of the problem. First time ever starting up a VM on a windows so I'm a little lost.
Must have had the wrong Guest Additions download. Used the download below and used the following steps:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.1.20/
Set files to machine on VM settings
IN VM GUI: Settings > Storage
Right click Controller:IDE
Click 'Add Optical Drive'
Choose Disk - add VBoxGuestAdditions_5.1.20.iso
Save
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.
Goal: I would like to run OpenWrt in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine.
Problem: From researching it appears that Azure and Hyper-V have the same issue where the Virtual NIC are not detected.
Supposed Solution: Supposedly the solution is to patch OpenWrt Source with Tulip. (Open Wrt Forum on subject: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/5770)
Problem: I can't seem to find a working patch to patch openWrt to support tulip.
Question: Has anyone successfully used OpenWrt in an Azure virtual machine or in Hyper-V? If so where can I get the patch or is there another method?
Follow this tutorial http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build
Run "make menuconfig" and navigate to kernel packages, network devices, and select tulip family. (This will allow Hyper-V Legacy adapters to be recognized and configured within OpenWrt)
Then run "make", extract combined.gz, convert extracted file to vhd using qemu-img http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_converting.html
Then create a vim and use the .vhd as the virtual hard disk
The ticket you referenced was for the BackFire release in 2010. If you use that image then it should work for you.

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.
