Thanks naq !!!
I have problems with settung up the VNC Desktop.
When I type in "vncserver :1" it says:
"-bash: vncserver: command not found"
What should I do?
help anyone...
Posted by: naq
What OS do you have?
What's the output when you enter the command to install vncserver?
# apt-get install vncserver
or
# yum install vncserver

Again Naq, you seem to have the answer to my problems. Now with these new abilities comes more questions :D. I've managed to stream a .avi file using this guide (http://ashishware.com/Video.shtml). However, I notice that the video is not 100% smooth (is this to be expected when my home connection is 7Mbps/512Kbps?). Is there a more efficient way to do so or is this something I have to live with? Also, I've managed to unrar a file using winrar using the command unrar e file.r00, but it saves it to my /home/username folder. Is there a way to save it somewhere else or am I SOL?
Posted by: naq
Not sure what you mean about the streaming videos. Are you trying to stream a video directly from the server to your computer?
To unrar into a specified directory:
$ unrar e file.rar /home/username/folder
The destination follows the source.
Type "man unrar" for the unrar manual. Or go to http://www.edenwaith.com/support/guitar/help/man/unrar.html
Posted by: twoscoops
Yeah, I'm trying to stream from my server to my computer. Thanks for the rar tip, it worked for me.
Posted by: naq
Your home connection is fast enough, but I suspect the speed of ONE stream connection between your server and PC isn't fast enough. I'm assuming the distance between them is the Atlantic Ocean(?). Hence, for ftp transfers, we can use multiple connections. However, I don't know of a way to stream videos using multiple connections.

Thanks anyways naq, it seems to have fixed itself; it's now playing silky smooth. Now i can watch shows a few minutes after pre :D. Once again , thank you, i really appreciate your help.

Can you try: yum install vnc-server ? I forgot the dash.
Edit: Hopefully, that will either install it or show that you already have it installed. Then, try typing "vnc" and press Tab twice to see if the command is there, and whether it's "vncserver" or "vnc-server".

Thanks a lot naq,
I installed debian on my server and started over and everything worked fine :)

Wow, this is by far the best guide to set up a seedbox, this guide contains all the knowledge about seedboxes which I have gained through experience in installing seedboxes for about 6 months and even more. If I had read this guide before it would have saved me a lot of time lol. This is superb and brilliant and I've noticed this is also a compilation made by the original poster. Well, I want to thank you and want to give some humble suggestions:
In the part where you install webui, wouldn't it better if you download the file to the server directly instead of using Open WinSCP:
wget http://www.utorrent.com/webui/webui.1220503364.zip
mv webui.1220503364.zip .wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/pirate/Application\ Data/uTorrent/
For people who prefer a full desktop with a menu and shortcuts instead of fluxbox I would suggest xfce, this is a light desktop:
aptitude install xfce-desktop
aptitude install xfonts-base
then edit this file:
nano /home/username/.vnc/xstartup
by adding this line:
startxfce4 &
Btw, I'm using wine-1.1.1 on Debian Etch with utorrent 1.8.1 and I haven't gotten any error yet. I think the combination works pretty fine.
NX is an alternative to VNC, it looks nicer and it even responds faster to the mouse movements and clicks, VNC loads faster and consume less resources though.
Well, I have to insist your guide is tremendous and it is actually great as it is but I hope you put my suggestions :)
cheers
Posted by: naq
Thanks for the comments. You're right about the webui part. It was that way because originally, you'd have to extract the webui.zip out from a rar file. I'll update it to your suggestion.

Grrrrrr.......I fought this would be semi-easy. Not so. Im following this guide to the word, yet it still says locked then asks me am I root? Im guessing so, im logged in as the root!
Going to with Fedora know. My 9th reinstall today!
Posted by: walkman79
If you don't know anything about Linux it will be difficult to set up a seedbox, this guide has been thoroughly written though.
Well, some updates:
I've tried CentOS today and I have found something, I followed the guide step by step and when I tried to install wine it gave me an error:
No package wine available
Solution: You have to enable EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repo and install the packages:
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
If you list the new repo you must see epel listed:
# yum repolist
Then:
# yum install wine
and everything works fine now :)
Btw, I've tried fluxbox and I insist XFCE looks nicer IMO. Besides, after I minimize utorrent on fluxbox it doesn't come up again, that is, maximizing and minimizing is not working with fluxbox. Is there any solution for this ? I've just unchecked minimize to tray.
Thanks in advance.

uTorrent keeps dropping peer connections ("Peer error: error 10022")This problem is due to a bug in wine from version 0.9.40 up to 1.1.15. The latest version is 1.1.16, which fixed this issue. As of 10/16, if you follow this guide, the version of wine you should have is (after updating to the latest):
Debian: 1.1.1
Ubuntu: 1.1.16
FC/CentOS: 0.9.x
Yes I'm running CentOS and my wine version is 1.0 and utorrent is dropping connections. You mentioned if anyone needed help resolving this issue to drop a reply and I need your help! Thanks in advance! regards clouseau66

@ putty
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
At any prompts, just answer yes by typing "y" and pressing enter.
WINE needs X to run, so now that you have X up and running you're free to install WINE.
By default, CentOS 5.2 doesn't have the proper repositories to download WINE. To fix this, simply issue the following command:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm This will download and setup your yum to use the EPEL repository, which WINE is on.
Now you can install WINE:
yum install wine At any prompts, just answer yes by typing "y" and pressing enter.

I've got a few questions:
1) I just finished installing uTorrent and I've got my WebUI working - however, now I'm trying to setup the FTP, but the line
# openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /root/vsftpd.pem -out /root/vsftpd.pemGives me this error:
bash: openssl: command not found
2) Is it possible to create new torrents using uTorrent WebUI (not uTorrent over VNC)
3) Is there any way of deleting the files downloaded through a web interface, or is FTP/VNC my only option?
4) Is it possible to run both Torrentflux-b4rt and WebUI on the same server? The reason for getting a seedbox is that my university blocks bittorrent traffic, and it also blocks ports - so I can't access things that are like domain.com:port#. I'd like to use WebUI while at home because it's a great interface, but I'm guessing TFlux is my only option at school.
Oh, and finally, I ran a couple test torrents which I'd like to delete now - I've deleted the torrents off uTorrent but I have no idea where to find the files - any idea? I didn't have a set save directory configured at that point and now I'm baffled >.>
Hopefully it's not too much hassle to answer these questions.
Thanks,
Dave

AFAIK, The dag repo I had setup for CentOS should still be working. I won't change it to EPEL until I know for sure dag isn't working anymore.
It's quite annoying to maintain this guide for CentOS/Fedora atm due to the wine bug, since these OS don't update wine very fast.
@clouseau66:
I tried looking for an older wine rpm package, but couldn't. The best way I think is to change your OS to Debian/Ubuntu if you can. If not, you'll have to compile wine from the latest source, which is not easily done. You'll have to remove wine, install git and the development packages, then compile it. PM me if you want help with this.
@DJDaveX:
1. openssl isn't installed. Type this to install:
# apt-get install openssl
or
# yum install openssl
(I'll add this to the guide later, since this happens too often)
2. No
3. Right click on a torrent, Remove Torrent + Data
4. Yes, just need to configure separate ports for them.
5. Check uTorrent Preferences for the default download folder. If you don't know how to delete from the command line, you can use FTP
Posted by: clouseau66
Thanks naq for the reply, I think I'll reinstall CentOS and start over with your suggestion on compiling wine or use the EPEL to do it. I have been screwing around for a couple of days now trying to get wine working, might as well start fresh (no biggie!), but if I do decide to compile it I may be PM'ing you for some advice. Thanks and for the other folks for thier posts as well. Much appreciated.....

It seems that dag repo is not working anymore, but it's good to see you check the info before making any changes. You are doing a great job, take your time :)

Posted by: atwitsend
Ill be getting my server this weekend and have read over the guide a few times. Which is great and kindly appreciated. I do have a question. I seen where you could set up different user accounts on the server but I didn't see anything on 1) How to set how many torrents user could up/download at same time along with their folder path for their selected downloads. 2) Bandwidth allowed. 3) HDD space allotted for user. 4) Settings so that said user cant change or have access to privileged information or be able to change the settings I set for them on uT. If any of these things were covered I apologize but I didn't see them. Can anyone tell me how to go about doing this. I have a couple friends who want to use the server and help me with cost but I do want to limit what they can and cannot do. Thanks in advance.
Posted by: Vanadium
This guide doesn't cover quota's, etc. User account quota's aren't too hard to put on, but bandwitdh quota's are a bit harder to do (especially without virtualization etc, I don't think)
If you wanted to remove Preferences from webui, I think you'd have to edit it manually.
Posted by: akb1973
Yes could someone please tell me what I have done wrong. Or what I need to do now. I can sign into VNC and start uT but I get this screen in xterm. Any ideas? I also get invalid request when I try to webGui in my browser.

I have tried to look for a solution but have not been able to find a definitive answer.
I setup, as a trial first in my home network, a seedbox using Ubuntu Server 8.10 with vsftpd 2.07, xfce4, wine 1.1.7.
I managed to setup the SSH tunneling, changed, the ftp and ssh ports. All is working but then for the Firewall.
When using any FTP Client for FTP explicit SSL/TSL the ports chosen for the data transfer are always outside the pasv_min_port and pasv_max_port range and are subsequently blocked by the firewall.
How can I make vsftpd to give out only port-no's inside its allowed range?
aleg
-----------------------------
Resolved:
I just thought to try another port-range. First I used 63320-63340.
Apparently this is not suitable, maybe to high, though I don't know the exact upper limits of suitable port-ranges.
But I changed it to something like 44320 - 44340, and it worked like a charm.
So for anybody with the some problems, try a lower range of port-no's.
Posted by: naq
Maybe you have to force it to use pasv instead of port in vsftpd.conf? Look here for all the options: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html
Also check your client, make sure it uses the pasv method...
Posted by: aleg
Hi NaQ
Thank you for your fast response.
But I already solved it (even faster :whistling, so maybe I wasn't so very clever in the first place).
Look at my previous post which I edited with my solution
Thanks again

Hey
Planning on getting a server sometime soon, just got a few questions (probably easily answered by someone who knows anything about linux.. ive never used it before so im completely clueless).
Figured I would go with ubuntu for the sake of avoiding the wine problem, but in the steup of the server it lists both ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server as OS options.. which would should I go for?
Secondly, I've heard that files with non-unicode/special characters will not work with a linux/wine setup.. is there any way around this?

If you are not going to share the server with someone else, I recommend you the Ubuntu Desktop since it's easier to configure and it's very stable and definitely looks nicer.

"configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built
without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least."
I got that error trying to compile wine 1.1.7. How to solve it ?
Thanks in advance.

OK.. first attempt.. not going very well..
Server ready with ubuntu 8.04 Desktop (Hardy Heron)
...
edit
....
Resolved after many many hours..
WHY did you decide not to tell people to type "sudo" before these commands?
I'm just interested why did you decide that they didn't need this information?
Did you think that a noob to Linux would just "know" this?
Posted by: herra
Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop (Hardy Heron)
In the guide you say:
---------------------
Debian & Ubuntu:
Code:
# apt-get install vncserver wine xterm fluxbox vsftpd firefox vnstat
# update-menus
----------------------
First part worked fine. But update-menus returns "command not found"
Help!!!!
---
Edit:
I've given up!!
There are just too many inaccuaracies in the guide. Too many things just don't work or return errors. I've installed Windows Server for the two free months. Dunno what I'll do then.
Posted by: naq
@cOOL:
hmm, I think the line "apt-get build-dep wine" should have taken care of that. Did that command work? Many packages should have been installed that should include the ones wine was asking for
@herra
Sorry you had so much trouble. I'm not sure what issues you have, but "sudo" is definitely NOT needed before the commands in this guide. I suspect the problem might be you are not logged in as root, given you are using Ubuntu Desktop. The guide is meant for an installation from Putty with root login details.

NAQ, 10x for guide! It works quite well(with a little google help) on my home test server(Ubuntu 8.04), till "SSH Secure" If I tried to load "Key" into puttygen, I couldn`t find it at /root for "root" and at /home/user-name/.. there aren`t /.ssh/ directories, at least visible.. what did I do wrong? And is this step SO important?(I mean If I have a good, strong password; its not the problem for me to type it every log in:))
And what means TBA in "Ecrypt the HD"?

For the SELinux and .ssh parts of the initial setup, what directory should I be looking in?
for the selinux part at least, I went cd .. and found there were directories etc & sysconfig & selinux
This is in Debian, so I guess I'm really only asking about the .ssh part
Also, when installing the dependencies for vncserver I get the following 'error' messages

About the tar error, it seems you don't have bzip2 installed, type this to install it:

I'm not sure about the fonts warnings. If they are just warnings, and the installation went through, you are probably fine.

Posted by: GroggyP
I killed all the existing vncservers
started a new one using
vncserver -localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 :1
but when I try to log on using TightVNC Viewer a dialogue box saying "Connection closed." pops up (doesn't ask for password, I enter "localhost" for server).
So I killed that one, started a new one using
vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 :1
And it let me log on using "localhost" as the server in TightVNC Viewer. Is this still connecting securely through the tunnel putty creates?

I keep getting:
Session Ciper: none
when using CuteFTP Pro to connect to my VSFTPD running on Ubuntu 8.04. Why is this and how to get it to work using a cipher like it does when I connect CuteFTP via SSH?

it's pretty weird you don't have nano.
if you are on CentOS or Fedora:
yum install nano
if you are on Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo aptitude install nano

whe i type sudo aptitude install nano
<user> is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

well, you need root access to be able to add your username to sudoers file. Ask your server admin if he can add you to sudoers.

i am the admin how ca i add that user to sudoers file ?

are you sure?
admin is in the sudoers file by default. type this and tell me what you get:
cat /etc/sudoers

you have the root login details, right ?
If so, login with your root account and type this:
nano /etc/sudoers
then paste this at the bottom of the file:
yourusernamehere ALL=(ALL) ALL
after this, you will only need to provide your user password ( not the root pass) for sudo.
Posted by: MasterMoll
yes i have the root login details
when i type nano /etc/sudoers
# nano /etc/sudoers
-bash: nano: command not found
Posted by: walkman79
:P, if you are logged in with root you can install nano:
aptitude install nano
You must see something like this when you are logged in as root:
root@1234:~#
the # instead of $

Damn, you have nothing installed :P, try:
apt-get install nano
btw, the vi editor must be installed. But it isn't as easy as nano.
Posted by: MasterMoll
this one worked :)
how do i save and exit ?
Posted by: walkman79
If you have already installed nano, add the other user to the sudoers file:
nano /etc/sudoers
then paste this at the bottom of the file:
yourusernamehere ALL=(ALL) ALL
To save the changes in nano use ctrl+o and to exit from nano ctrl+x . All the commands for nano are shown at the bottom when you edit a file :P
Then logout from root and login with your user and follow the steps of this setup guide where you left it.

thanks for this guide...
I was just setting up my LeaseWeb debian server using this guide.. followed all steps till number 6, skipping the wine step..
i can access the server through VNC and have installed uTorrent.. then the guide says, uT is downloaded to home folder... i cant see the home folder on desktop on anywhere on the fluxbox right click menu =S
Can anyone please guide me, how can I run uT ?
thanx in advance :)
EDIT: Ahhhh... i had to run the wine utorrent.exe command lol... figured out
Got my server setup and running great !!..
Thanks "naq" for this guide... cheers :)
Posted by: ar1n4mu
You have to edit your fluxbox menu:
nano ~/.fluxbox/menu
then, under the section titled [encoding] add this line:
[exec] (uTorrent) {wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe}
Assuming that you have installed uTorrent in the default path of course.
