I have one computer running ubuntu operating system. It is having a wifi router connected to it. I have other laptop which runs windows 7 operating system.
Is there a way to access the ubuntu machine from windows machine through wifi and vice versa ?
You can use TeamViewer in both windows and linux. It will give you full control of the remote machine but I'm not sure if you can do file transfering...
For file transferring, connecting from windows to linux I would use winSCP, which access files through ssh, so you would have to install an run sshd on your linux box. If you haven't sshd in your ubuntu box, install it by doing $ sudo apt-get install ssh. You can start ssh daemon in ubuntu 11.10 with the command $ sudo service ssh start. From linux (Ubuntu 11.10) to windows (w7), I have successfully got into w7 machines in my local network by exploring the Network section in the left bar of the nautilus explorer. Sometimes, for some folders it would ask me for credentials to log into the remote machine, and file transferring was as simple as doing copy and paste (Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v)
hope to be helpful! good luck!
VNC is good for remote work on both Windows and Linux. You'll need to install VNC on Windows but I believe it comes by default with Ubuntu. You need to configure one to be the server and then you can use a client from the other machine to connect to it and remotely control the server machine.
Here are some resources for VNC in Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
And I use TightVNC when I'm working on Windows (server and client included in the install).
Install XRDP on Ubuntu.
on windows then run msrtc -v
if over the internet , I say use
https://www.dwservice.net/en/download.html
free and lot better than teamviwer.

I just get a VPS on Ionos, in which debian is running.
I use it to run selenium script with python but I would like to control what the script is doing when I get errors. So I would to install an UI and control it with vnc viewer.
Anyone knows if it possible ?
If yes, which ui I can install on my VPS ? and which vncserver package is the the best ?
Thank you
You can "apt install XFCE4" Desktop, then you have a UI.
You can access this desktop from Windows machines when you "apt install XRDP" and login via Remote Desktop.
Dont forget to open RDP Port 3389 in the firewall.
I am looking for a possibility to copy a file from Windows to a Linux machine, and my Windows machine will not have Cygwin installed .
The command I am trying is
linux #> scp windows-machine:e:\file.txt
Since you say "my windows machine will not have cygwin installed", I'm assuming you cannot install arbitrary software on the Windows side but that you have control of the Linux machine. Under those assumptions, you can use the Windows FTP client to transfer files to the Linux machine. (Of course, you will have to enable the FTP daemon on the Linux machine, most likely via inetd or systemctl.)
I use Windows 10 and ubuntu 14.04LTS on desktop
I want to use desktop from my laptop remotely.
My grub select ubuntu as a default os boot system.
And I know how to reboot the desktop from ubuntu to windows remotely
(sudo grub-reboot boot_number && sudo reboot)
But How can I reboot from windows to windows again?
In this situation, when I reboot from windows, ubuntu is selected as a default.
But sometimes, I want to reboot from windows to windows!
In summary...
1. I want to rebbot from windows to windows or ubuntu / from ubuntu to windows or ubuntu remotely.
2. I know the way of rebbot other things.
3. But I don't know how to reboot from windows to windows
Thank you in advance.
You will need to edit grub configuration from Ununtu first. The detailed steps are given here.
I have Docker installed on Windows 7 platform. However when I try to run boot2docker start, the console gives me:
Failed to get machine 'boot2docker-vm': machine does not exist.
Ok, so I try to initialize the machine: boot2docker init. What now happens is even though I have the ISO image on the same path as docker, it tries to download a new image (and then fails to do so).
I uninstalled both OracleVM and GIT before installing them with boot2docker bundle as advised on Docker forums, but now I don't know how to proceed.
I had the same problem on a Windows 7 64 bit system when I installed the entire boot2docker package. It seems that running the solely 64-bit based boot2docker image from a 32-bit OS image (e.g. created by Virtualbox) does not work.
The solution for me was
to activate Intel Virtualisation Technolologies in my BIOS
(Lenovo X61 for me). Note that the settings can be found either
under CPU or Security.
choose a 64 bit OS version in VirtualBox and boot in with the
image obtained by boot2docker.
In case you're trying to do this now
For Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later), follow the instructions to install Docker Desktop here https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/.
If you have Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker Desktop for Windows(in my case Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language), you can install Docker Toolbox by following the instructions here https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/.
boot2docker does not support sharing directories on Windows IIRC. The way I run Docker on windows is:
install VirtualBox
install Vagrant
create a directory (let's say c:\vm\docker)
download this Vagrantfile and save it under c:\vm\docker\Vagrantfile
open a DOS command prompt
go to the directory cd c:\vm\docker
start the VM vagrant up and wait for it to install, start up and get provisionned
connect to the VM vagrant ssh
play with docker docker images, etc
Also you might want a real console instead of using the DOS command prompt:
install Git Bash for Windows
install Console
setup Console to use Git Bash (see this guide)
use Console to run the vagrant up and vagrant ssh commands
I am running Oracle Enterprise Linux on VMWare. I now want to install Oracle which is is located on my C drive in Windows. Is there a way to copy this file to a folder in my virtual machine?
If its just once off, easiest way is to install winscp onto your windows host, setup a bridged or host only network on the vmware server and using winscp to copy the files in.
I think you can install vmware tools which would allow for shared folders, but last time I tried I ran into some issues and gave up.
