NaQ's Complete Setup Guide for Linux Seedboxes (Fedora Core/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu)

I don't think you installed two vncservers.

But I have no knowledge at all with xrealvnc, so I can't really help you.

Really helpful and well-made guide. This is bookmarked for a beginner like myself :) Thanks!

I am a little new with linux, so does anyone know what to do when you run utorrent w/ wine and then it freezes?? Not sure if I need to uninstall and install wine again or if there is something else I can do? Hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Could you also tell us how to limit upload and downlaod speed per user?

I have a problem with VNC.
Everything was running fine but VNC appears to have crashed and refuses to be killed or restart.

$ vncserver -kill :1 gives me

Can't find file 'MYSERVER'.com:1.pid
You'll have to kill the Xvnc process manually

If I try to start the vnc i get:
Warning: MYSERVER.com:1 is taken because of /tmp/.X1-lock
Remove this file if there is no X server MYSERVER.com:1
A VNC server is already running as :1



ps aux | grep vncserver shows

user 12650 0.0 0.0 6352 776 pts/5 D+ 17:29 0:00 grep --color=auto vncserver

:~$ kill -9 12650
-sh: kill: (12650) - No such process
:~$


Any ideas how I can restart the vnc?

Thanks

edit

This guide is very detailed, great job!

Are there any scripts or macros that will automate the majority of this process? I have very little experience with Linux, and am certain I will mess the installtion up without any idea what I did wrong.

Someone must have written some sort of template or automated script to get the job done? Anyone?

holy crap thanks alot man!

Ok, have followed the instructions + googled when errors have come up.

Reached the point of logging into VNC, Xterm does appear in the Fluxbox menu, but clicking on it and nothing happens.

I saw another poster earlier in this thread with the same problem. Any ideas?

what os you are on? maybe installing it separately can solve the problem...
for ubuntu/debian: apt-get install xterm
fedora/centos: yum install xterm
make sure you are using your (#)root account...

I am running Ubuntu 8.4

Already installed Xterm, tried again with apt-get install xterm, and it says xterm is already the newest version...

Any idea why it does not launch from Fluxbox?

seems for some reason I can't connect with VNC
firewall is off on both server and PC
I'll output the log

Thanks for the guide. Bookmarking it

Here is a list of the most used linux commands

I need help please.

Today I've bought an kimsufi server because I need to increase my upload in a tracker.

I've had an server two or three years ago and I've followed this tutorial and all worked fine at the time.

Well, today I've sucessfully instaled everything, but I have a serious problem. I can download using torrents but I can't upload a single byte!
I've checked the iptables using iptables -t filter -L and it is empty, I've also checked the torrent clients configurations and all seems OK.

I've tried with Deluge and qbittorrent. Both are able to download but didn't uploaded a single byte. Please help.

PS: Sorry for bad english.

Have you considered the possibility no one might want the files you have right now? On certain private trackers (and you didn't name the one you're talking about) it might take a long period of seeding before you upload anything, server uber-pipe or not.

Anyway, try the simplest thing first. If you want to discard a technical issue, just load a Linux ISO or any popular public torrent. You should be uploading within minutes.

any idea on when the encryption info will be updated? im keen to get a seed box and also use it for usenet and an nzb index with a mate, but want to encrypt the drive first. i will use ubuntu, and will i need to make a seperate partition and then encrypt that, as you cant encrypt the os partiton? of have i missed something?

cheers

Jason

quick question, does one have to use/learn linux in order to utilize a seedbox? and would it be unwise to even try using a seedbox in a windows 7 environment? if so this could be a great opportunity to finally break down and learn linux!

thanks in advance...
