I'll try my luck here....after 30+ days of uptime with no problems,wine crashed for me. Now,every time I try to start it,wine gives me some 'stack overflow' error and wont start,it goes in some kind of loop ,retrying every 60 seconds. I've tried to reinstall wine,upgrade to a newer version,tried rebooting the server,same thing. Stack overflow. Messages log and syslog don't show why this is happening,at least i can't see anything in them.
I've installed tf b4rt,but it's just not the same,i miss the 'live' view of things i get in utorrent through vnc,and utorrent is so much natural to work around in.

Is there anything that can be done to fix it,or is reinstall my only option?
Thx

I had the firewall running fine, I then rebooted my server today and now uTorrent is telling me that the port is closed. Has this happened to anyone else?

Fantastic guide by the way.

EDIT: Nevermind, turns out it had nothing to do with the reboot. I changed loads of the settings in uTorrent to max to see if I could get better speeds. Changing them back fixes it.

swap partition

I'm new to linux and wondered why I haven't seen a swap partition mentioned anywhere in your tutorial, NaQ. Do you think it's not needed?

I have a problem. I went over it again and again for hours, but couldn't fix it.

I can't connect to my VNC Server after tunneling through SSH, i.e. forwarding the ports in Putty. I tried localhost:0, localhost:1, localhost:2, etc, localhost:00, localhost:01, localhost:02, localhost::5900, localhost::5901 etc and many other variations. localhost:1 should work, because I start vncserver with the ":1" and the -localhost option. I tried both the Ultra VNC and TightVNC clients. To no avail. I checked the sshd_config file, /etc/hosts file, to no avail.

If I don't forward the ports and run vncserver in normal mode (not -localhost), EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. But I would like to limit vncserver to localhost only, because everyone says it's much more secure.

Does anyone know anything that could help me?

I'm using now a nice seedbox for a low price. Very nice for users who cannot wait for the long OVH setup-time or when your country is not listed on their webpage; http://mybox.pfcorner.eu/

Thanks for the great guide, it took me 15 minutes to setup my new leaseweb box. Everything is running fine except two things. When I launch tightvnc the screen is very small so I cant see the full desktop. Also, I installed iceweasel instead of firefox but it launches it automatically closes. I think it may be because of the small screen size. Any suggestions

Having a little problem.

In the tutorial it says...As you successfully login to your remote desktop, you'll see a blank screen with a taskbar on the bottom. Right-click anywhere on the desktop for the fluxbox menu, and find xterm (usually under Terminals).

Now i dont see the task bar nor can i right click left click or clickity click.

Now i swear when i 1st logged on ysterday i seen the task bar at the bottom,but now everytime i log in its not there and i cant do shit.

Any help would be appreciated.
