I installed Ubuntu 16 on a VM.
Now I'd like to use it remotely with Gnome from Windows.
I followed every guide I found here and on the net about how to configure vncserver and the config files.
Nothing goes for me. At the most I can run a xfce session, but I'd like to have GDM or Gnome session.

Let me say first and foremost, I am not trying to INSTALL Xdebug locally on my Mac and can not run the application on my Mac. I also can not downgrade my OS below Catalina so let's just not discuss those options please...
I got a new Macbook Pro running MacOS Catalina (10.15.7) and can not get Xdebug working to save my life. The PHP application runs on a SHARED development server hosted on Amazon. Seeing as how the environment is shared among several developers, we use Xdebug via remote_connect_back setting.
With my old Macbook Pro running High Sierra (10.13.3), it connects just fine and step debugging has been working for years. The result is the same with all of my co-workers: those on Mojave and below have no issue and Xdebug works wonderfully. All of us with Catalina and higher can not get Xdebug to connect to our machines from the shared dev server. We are all running PhpStorm 2020.3, and use the Chrome Xdebug helper plugin (with "phpstorm" set as the IDE key).
I have set up this configuration at least 2 dozen times (and wrote the company guide for setting up the dev environments including Xdebug), so it's a bit embarrassing that it won't work on newer Macbooks.
The computer I am currently testing has the firewall disabled, no internet security, clean install as of yesterday. Also tried with gatekeeper disabled, rootless protection disabled and Allow Remote connections from ANYONE. All to no avail. On my previous laptop, I can ssh into the dev server, and open a telnet session on port 9000 to my local laptop and it works fine. On the NEW computer, if I attempt a telnet session on port 9000 it just times out.
What is interesting is if I turn OFF listening for Xdebug connections in PhpStorm and run the telnet command again, I IMMEDIATELY get a connection refused message. So I KNOW I am getting the right machine, it's almost as if Apple implemented some security through obscurity logic between Mojave and Catalina.
It's also worth noting that one co-worker is running Catalina, but version 10.15.2 and his connects just fine and he is refusing to update (reasonably so). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit/Update: I have tried both xdebug 2.7.2 via remote connect back on port 9000 and 3.02 via discover remote host on port 9003.
Second Edit/Update: If I open a reverse ssh tunnel on my laptop (ssh -N -R 9003:127.0.0.1:9003 dev_server_host) I can get Xdebug to work. However this solution isn't practical on a SHARED dev server as if more than one person does this we get cross talk. Just noting it to help with troubleshooting.
Third Edit/Update: This issue is still unresolved so I would love to find a solution at some point, but I have moved on by working with coworkers to get it running locally on docker. On docker we have no issue getting xdebug to connect. Our unit tests run a bit slower in docker, whether the code is mounted via a volume or not, but that is another topic for another day.
My Setup:
Windows 10 VM running in VirtualBox on Windows 7 Pro
Raspberry Pi 3 running Windows 10 IoT Core - 10.0.16299.19
The VM can see the RaspberryPi/Wionows IoT
I know this because:
On the VMI I can Install and Debug from Visual Studio 2017 to the Pi.
On the VM the IoT Dashboard detects the PI and allows me to change
settings
On the VM I can access the Pi's Device Portal
On the VM I can use Powershell to log in to the Pi.
What I can't do is use Windows IoT Remote Client. Which I want so I can see changes produced by my code.
When I start the client I get the spinning buffer animation followed by a blank, white screen.
I have tried the following as recommended in web articles:
Reset the Pi resolution to 800x600 - This killed the Pi's ability to
display at all; including on the attached HDMI.
Checked Enable Windows IoT Remote Server in Device Portal. - This is
set to On
Disconnected the HDMI from the Pi - Made no difference.
Typed the following into an Admin level PowerShell:
net start WinRM
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value
PiName
This allowed Powershell access but no change to Remote Desktop
What should I try next?
On version 16299,the Windows IoT Remote client does not work for Raspberry Pi. Please reference the know issue of release notes for Windows 10 IoT 16299.Currently you can attach a monitor for local display.
Try starting the NanoRDP server manually (not through the web interface) and see if that helps. That has solved a few issues for me.
I believe the executable is in c:\windows\ and is called nanordpserver.exe. just SSH or Powershell into the device, run nanordpserver.exe and try again.
The lightweight RDP protocol that IoT Core uses is not as robust as the version installed on the full Windows 10 OS.
I have a Google Virtual Server(Microsoft Windows Server 2012) and I would like to run AVD with X86 Processor Setting. I need to install HAXM but when I want to install it I get an error message.
HAXM Install Error Message:
Could anyone help me how can I install the HAXM on the Google virtual server?
Sorry, but nested virtualization (specifically, exposure of virtualized VT-x support, which is what HAXM is looking for) is not currently supported on Google Compute Engine. Unfortunately this is not mentioned anywhere in our documentation that I see, but it is in fact true.
A similar question was answered here: Does Google Cloud services support nested virtual machines?
I've beyondcompare licence for my windows machine and I can't use that licence for linux installation. I work on linux server via putty from my windows system.
I could launch linux visual merge tools like meld using X server. But I'm looking for a way to use X server/X11 to launch beyondcompare from my putty session. In short, I want to launch a windows application itself from the linux env over putty.
My last choice would be to pull changes to my windows machine and do a merge on windows; push it back. But it would be nice if I could launch beyondcompare from linux.
Any Ideas?
It isn't possible to launch a diff/merge in the Windows version of Beyond Compare from a Linux system via SSH. There are three possible workarounds:
Upgrade your license to a multi-platform license and use the Linux
version of Beyond Compare.
Run the Windows version of Beyond Compare on your Windows machine and access the files on the Linux machine using the SFTP support built into Beyond Compare Pro.
Install Mercurial on your Windows machine, then check out files and
diff/merge from there. See the Using Beyond Compare With Version
Control Systems article to configure BC as the
diff and merge tool for Mercurial on Windows.
I am currently running ubuntu 10.4, I would like to be able to run windows XP from within that machine, using vmware player/workstation. I am not sure which is better for my situation.
I need to verify my builds under a windows environment, which is why i need the vmware software, Does anyone have experience, running Hudson slaves on windows machine that is a VM, from a Linux machine that runs the master Hudson.
Are there any guides or tutorials on how to set this up, or practice that would speed up the process, and limit road blocks in the future.
Thanks.
Edit: VirtualBox would be just as useful. :) -- actually more interested in that.
Since you mentioned VirtualBox, there is a VirtualBox plugin for Hudson.
