HOW do i create a connection?
I have setup Guacamole using the guacamole install script which works like
a charm, but because of the SERIOUS lack of an ACTUAL video tutorial on how
connections work and how to set one up, i am out of luck to do that.
My attempt to do that landed me in this error
http://imgur.com/Yr7txrT
And with that error, i am unable to do anything and its like i bricked my
installation as this loops and loops forever.
So after i login to guacamole
(1) How do i setup a new connectionm to connect to a newly installed Ubuntu
16.04LTS desktop?
(2) Do i need to install anything on the remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop to
be able to create connection to it?
Thanks

RDP is normally is used for Microsoft Windows (remote desktop protocol =
RDP)
However, there is software on linux that also lets you do RDP to a linux
box.
If you are trying to connect to an Ubuntu 16.04 system then you will need
to do a couple things:
1. On the ubuntu 16.04 install xrdp using the Ubuntu software center or
synaptic or whatever you use. NOTE: the xrdp that is in the Ubuntu
repositories is quite old (v0.6x) versus the newest xrdp (v0.9) but from
the sounds of your emails it may be beyond your abilities at this time to
build the latest xrdp from source so just use the older version.
2. On Ubuntu you will also need to be using a Desktop OTHER than Unity
or Gnome3. Neither of those will work with any remote desktop I am aware
of. So you will need to install some other Desktop Environment (DE) such
as ubuntu-mate, xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop
3. Once you've got all the above done then you need to make sure both
your Ubuntu & any routers you use have Port 3389 (RDP's port) open.
Then and only then ... will you be able to try to get your remote desktop
to work.
This all works as I do it myself but I do use the newer xrdp. If you are
adventurous & have the time you can use Scarygliders.net great build
script ( http://scarygliders.net/x11rdp-o-matic-information/) and it will
build xrdp and x11rdp from source for you. Be warned that it can take a
long time depending on the PC you use (cpu, memory disk speed etc) it can
take up to an hour.
When the x11rdp-o-matic.sh script is done it will also have created 2 .DEB
files for you (one for xrdp and one for x11rdp) which you can then copy
anywhere and install using gdebi or dpkg etc in order to have the newer
xrdp.
If you don't want to use RDP ... remember that Guacamole also supports VNC
so you could install a VNC server on your target Ubuntu machine and connect
using VNC... you will still need to use a desktop other than Unity or
Gnome3 though.
Hope that helps

Re: HOW do i create a connection?
Posted by Carl Heaton <ca...@pipe.co>.
Searching for "vnc server ubuntu tutorial" will give you a better
resource than here / is outside this lists scope imho.
If you can connect to the vnc-server using a remote vnc-client as most
tutorials will demonstrate, then these same connection details should
work in guac.
Then lock-down further as appropriate by firewall and/or vpn on the client side.

Someone else already suggested this and after continuing to read your
questions (which are really very basic & could be found by yourself with
some minimal web searches.
As the other person stated, I also think that perhaps your attempt to try
to set Guacamole up for a remote desktop capability is a bit beyond your
capabilities right now.
The guacamole user alias is not really the appropriate place to be asking
questions about how to setup VNC on a server, what ports VNC uses or as
earlier... why RDP doesn't work by default on Ubuntu 16.04.
Perhaps if you want to continue trying to get guacamole to work for you...
you should start doing a little more study/research on problems you
encounter first before immediately asking someone else to solve your
problems for you. Otherwise... how will you learn ? Right?
We all started off as beginners in linux, networking etc at one time but I
think we've all be told that same thing. That's how we all learned what
we each know today ...

You were in WAY over your head technically which was obvious from your many
questions about BASIC technologies that you spent ZERO time trying to
investigate or solve yourself !
Instead you felt you had the "right" to keep asking the people on this
email alias to solve ALL your many problems for you, even when MOST HAD
NOTHING to do with Guacamole ??
Guacamole is a great project that works for many people.. you are just not
one of those. You don't seem to have even the basic
background/knowledge of RDP, VNC, Linux (ports etc).
If you hadn't found that script on SourceForge I doubt you would ever have
even gotten any part of Guacamole, mysql, nginx etc installed after
watching how you struggled with something so simple & basic as VNC.
You now only sound juvenile & petty by bad-mouthing the Guacamole project
just because you are NOT technical enough to work with it.
At least you have to pay NoMachine to use their product NX and their poor
tech support will be stuck answering your future continuous stream of
questions...

Babatunde,
Please just focus on getting VNC working *independently of Guacamole*
before continuing to assume the problem is on Guacamole side. Using a
normal VNC client, verify that you have things set up correctly. If you do
this, and you are still having trouble, then by all means post here and we
will gladly try to help. Beyond that, there's really no sense in beating
this dead horse further. Continue familiarizing yourself with VNC, get your
system working as expected. The Guacamole part should be a piece of cake
after that.
Best of luck,
- Mike

That's actually a common misconception. The default location is
GUACAMOLE_HOME/user-mapping.xml, unless overridden via guacamole.properties
(or with a symbolic link):
http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#user-mapping
There is nothing within the Guacamole web application that will look into
/etc unless it is explicitly directed to do so through configuration.

You can search for user-mapping.xml and see examples for vnc settings, user-mapping is 1 of the authentication methods for guacamole, standard location in unix based is /etc/guacamole/user-mapping.xml

Re: HOW do i create a connection?
Posted by Bob Henderson <bh...@lpa.k12.mn.us>.
VNC is, in most cases, not a user/pass based auth. It is a password/port
based auth.
So, if you look at VNC, under Authentication, you'll see the "password"
field. This is authenticating to your VNC server, not to your client.
You'll still need to log in to your windows/ubuntu/whatever client via
local credentials after connecting via VNC.
This is all VNC 101 kind of setup. Please, go to google, type in these
questions, and learn. You are not having Guacamole problems. You're having
VNC issues. PEBKAC.

CORRECTION
No problem
My question is actually about guacamole's new connections settings
Where do i specify *what user* i want to use to login via VNC method?

With respect, I think you need to do some more research on your own before posing all these questions here. This forum is not meant to teach a user how to configure and use VNC or RDP on various platforms…you need to have more basic knowledge in place before using Guacamole, as another has previously stated.

Ok i have installed x1vnc
apt install x11vnc
and its running on port 631
So now my questions are what user will guacamole use to login for VNC?
and where do i specify what user on the remote desktop to use?
Also do i need to edit sshd config to allow some type of connections?
Thanks; appreciate all the help

Re: HOW do i create a connection?

With respect, you probably should suspend your effort to work with
guacamole until you get your basic remote desktop functionality working.
The purpose of remote desktop is to allow a user sitting in front of
machine C (for client) to get a desktop on machine S (for server), and use
that machine. S can be in a datacenter, or anywhere.
If machine C is a Windows machine, its user can use the program called
"Remote Desktop Connection" to connect to machine S. Start that program,
then give it the hostname of your machine S, and it will display a window
showing a desktop of machine S. You can then do things on machine S as if
you were sitting in front of its monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
For this to work, machine S has to be running a remote desktop server
application that listens for requests from other machines (machine C).
Windows has one of those built in. Linux does not.
Linux offers two (or maybe more) kinds of remote desktop setups: xrdp and
xvnc. xrdp is compatible with Windows's Remote Desktop Connection. xvnc
uses a VNC client on your machine C. You'll have to install that client.
On a Linux server, you have to install one (or both) of those servers and
start it on machine S before you can connect to it from machine C. Use your
favorite search engine to look up xrdp or xvnc, and figure out how to
install or start it. It's not hard.
Then figure out how to connect from your machine C to machine S without
Guacamole, using another remote desktop client package.
Then, and only then, start working with Guacamole again.
Guacamole serves to replace the Remote Desktop Connection program on your
machine C, and other users' machines, with a web application. That makes it
easier for casual users to gain remote access to your machine S -- they
just visit the Guacamole web application you set up.
Good luck.

guacamole IS client-less in that it does not require a specific
guacmole-client installed to the target in order to perform RDP, VNC,
SSH or Telnet connections.
Some flavour of those services must however be
installed/enabled/configured on the target host, be they supplied by
the vendor (RDP with Microsoft say) or your choice (VNC on Linux say).
I'd look towards VNC based connections over xRDP for *nix hosts personally.

No, not on the client. These kind souls are telling you that you need to
look at the machine you're trying to connect to - the machine whose
hostname you entered to produce the connection that you're using when you
log in.

Guacamole timing out is one of the reasons you might see that error dialog.
The reconnect timer is only there for convenience.
If you want to go back to the settings, open the Guacamole menu by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Shift, click your username to open the user menu, and then click
"Settings".
Using the Guacamole interface in general, as well as opening that menu, is
documented in the manual:

What exactly do i need to do because i didn't know i had to do anything as
guacamole is said to be clienteles
So i have to install xrdp? and start it?
What else i have to do? and when creating connection on guacamole server
what setting should i be aware of hostname, port, and other settings i have
to make sure works.
Lastly and again, why can't guacamole timeout if it cannot connect so i can

In my very limited experience, the rose-colored CONNECTION ERROR screen
means the xrdp server (or maybe the xvnc server) is not running on the
target Linux machine.
The apt installer for xrdp doesn't automatically configure the host os to
start that server upon boot.
You can validate xrdp is working by using some Windows machine and
attempting establish a Windows Remote Desktop Connection to that same
target Linux machine.
Re: HOW do i create a connection?
Posted by Babatunde Busari <ba...@gmail.com>.
Hmm i created RDP connection to Ubuntu 16.04LTSD Desktop(not windows)
So is there some settings i need to do on the ubuntu desktop to make sure
RDP works?
That is pretty much my question. What are the steps to creating connection
to Ubuntu(maybe next will be Windows or i will get the concept)
Guacamole is said to be clienteles, but what do i have to do on the remote
desktop to ensure connection works? Also if connection does not work, why
cant guacamole timeout or cancel instead of looping forever and then i
cannot do anything anymore?
So yes those are my questions right now. Did you see the image of
screenshot i posted?

Re: HOW do i create a connection?

Babatunde
So you used that script to install everything on some server somewhere.
Then you logged in using your web browser and the login ID guacadmin & the
password for guacadmin
Then in the upper right under the user name guacadmin you clicked on
SETTINGS.
In the settings screen you first clicked on CONNECTIONS
then
1. you changed the connection type from the default VNC to RDP
2. created a NEW connection using the IP address of your target machine
you want to connect with RDP to.
3. you specified your RDP security type
4. etc etc
5. then you clicked on SAVE
next in the Settings screen you clicked on USERS
then
1. you clicked on New User
2. you input your UserID & password twice (note that those do NOT have
to be the same as the UserID and Password on your remote "target" machine
you want to connect to. These are just the ID & Password you use to log
into Guacamole with.
3. you then select whatever other options you need
4. You DID NOT forget to also select the "Connection" you want that
UserID to have access to? The available connections (which YOU
configured above) will be listed there. You need to select 1 or more.
5. Then you SAVED that Guacamole User account info.
Then you logged out of the Guacadmin account
Then you logged back into Guacamole using your new Guacamole UserID &
Password.
Then you clicked on the Connection you want to connect to using RDP ?
The Machine you want to Connect to is a Windows machine properly setup to
allow RDP connections by a User Account that had previously been installed
on that target Windows machine ? If you did not do this step then you
won't be able to connect to the Windows machine.
However, before you try with Guacamole... make sure you can access that
"target" Windows machine using another Windows PC first. If that
doesn't work then Guacamole won't work for you either and you will have to
figure out what needs to be configured to setup the target Windows machine
for RDP connections.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamoleinstallscript/
I mean i am able to login and all and doesn't seem like anything is wrong
with installation. Just understanding how connections are created and how
they work clientless is what i have yet to understand.
When i did try to create connection using RDP i got the forever looping
connection error as shown in this image http://imgur.com/Yr7txrT where i
have to reinstall all over again because i have no way to get in anymore.

Hi Babatunde,
Regardless of how Guacamole has been installed, the method for adding
connections will depend on which authentication backend has been configured
(see below). I'm not sure what script you used specifically, but
if that script came with any documentation, it might point in the right
direction and/or mention what backend it is intended to set up. The
configuration methods for each backend are documented in the manual
[1][2][3].
Before you get too deep into debugging the results of your scripted install
... beware that we intentionally do not provide or support install scripts
as a project, and I must caution against their use. Writing a truly robust
script is extremely difficult. Such scripts may seem inviting at first, but
avoiding the "learning" part of a learning curve is self-defeating.
The closest thing to a scripted install that we officially support are the
Docker images [4]. These images make much of the installation/configuration
process simpler, but without hiding the architecture.
Thanks,
- Mike

Anyone willing to help?
I have everything setup, just want to know the steps to adding connection
to a remote fresh install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop
Thanks
