I have an Ubunutu 14.04 LTS Server (64-bit) installed on a Cloud Server. As of right now it is a fresh install with no GUI, simply the console.
I want to know if it is possible to set up this server with a minified Unity desktop environment which I can then remote connect into from another computer. I understand the added security risk and etc with installing a GUI on a server.
Any guidance or help would be appreciated
I have searched the web and only found a few forums going over the XFCE environment. Even those were a little unclear. I am not necessarily against the XFCE environment as long as I can install it correctly. So any help there as well would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Newbie to stack overflow and am experimenting with running an X Server so my colleagues and I can access our Linux GUI applications from windows machines.
I know all about XMing and other utils but my question isn't on the MS Windows side, it's on the Linux host machine. You see right now the linux boxes all have GUI's installed (CentOS and Ubuntu) with the configs to access via Xming or any other SSH X forwarding client.
My question is can I just setup the server to run the x system in the background without having to install a GUI? Did some research and can't really figure it out as I'm not an X Windows guru.
Thanks for everyone's help.

There is no need to have a full X server running or installed on the same system that is running X clients; only the libraries required for implementation of the protocol are required, and the system's package manager will handle installing those.

Hey I'm trying to install Microsoft Office using linux and wine but everytime I run the setup application I get this error:
Setup cannot find the required setup controller file. Either there was
a network error, an error reading from the CD, DVD, or other
installation media, or a problem with the package you downloaded.
I'm not sure what I should do.
What version of office do you try to install? Probably you can try to install other version, that works better with wine. I hope this link will help you - https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=31
it is list of versions of Microsoft office and their perfomance under wine.

I come from a Windows background and have been using Remote Desktop to view a remote server's desktop on my local machine. Remote desktop is probably the most popular tool for doing this because it's already part of the OS. Is there a similar tool for Windows but for accessing a Linux machine instead?
Try VNC. It works on Mac and Linux. You need to be running the server portion on the Linux host.
Take a look at xrdp. According to project description you can even use your native Windows client to access Linux desktop:
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux
terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop,
freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
try TeamViewer you can download it from

I don't have admin permission to install the msi file in my window 7 machine.
How can i install and setup node.js on my windows machine without the msi? Is there any other way to setup this.
The download page provides a Windows Binary (EXE) version of Node.js. You can download that here.
If you don't have admin permission it's impossible, as far as I know, to install something like NodeJS.
Maybe you do have permission to install Virtualbox which is quicker to setup anyhow. Then it's just a matter of installing an Ubuntu or CentOS image.

I have recently been trying to create a Linux workstation in the cloud which I can access from any of my personal machines/OS using NX. I found a few old guides which I was following. I used the Ubuntu 13.04 AMI - ami-1e831d77 . However, since Ubuntu has now moved to Unity by default, I could not exactly follow these guides step by step. I managed to set up the NX server in the EC2 but then connection from NX client on my local machine to EC2 does not work (which I had expected). What changes would I have to make for this to work? Could anyone recommend me a guide of some kind.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: I am new to deploying EC2 instances.
what i used on 12.04 to get unity working is in the client using the option for a new virtual desktop, and the custom session "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d"
