Remote desktop from windows 7 to ubuntu

If you are an ardent fan of Windows Remote Desktop and want to use it to login to a box running Ubuntu, this post is for you. To allow incoming Remote desktop connections, we need rdesktop running on ubuntu box.

Instructions

To install “xrdp” click on “Applications” and “Ubuntu Software Center“.

On the Ubuntu Software Center window, enter “xrdp” in the search field and press the “enter” key; once it finds it, click on the “install” button.

When installation finishes on Ubuntu, go to your Windows computer and open the “Remote Desktop Connection“, enter the IP address of the Ubuntu computer and click the “Connect” button.

Immediately you will see the screen of the remote computer. Enter the username and password for the remote Ubuntu computer and click “OK” to continue.

And that is all, now you should be able to see and control your remote Ubuntu machine from your Windows computer.

Final Thoughts

Many people in the Linux world do not seem to be aware of the fact that Windows and Ubuntu can communicate using the “real” Windows remote desktop. Not only this is not apparent but, for some reason, Ubuntu decided to rename VNC as “remote desktop viewer”, implying that this is the only way to establish a remote desktop connection.

मुद्दत हो गयी उन तन्हायियो को गुजरे , फिर भी इन आँखों में नमी क्यों है ? तोड़ दिया मोहब्बत पर से यकीन मेरा, फिर भी मेरी दुनिया में तेरी कमी क्यों है ? हसरत है क्यों आज भी तेरी चाहत की मुझे, क्यों याद तेरी जेहेन से मिटती नहीं ? जलजला क्यों उमड़ता है ख्वाबो में मेरे, उस आशिकी की आगज़नी क्यों है ? सन्नाटो में भी क्यों सुनता हू तुझे मेरी परछाई से क्यों तू जाती नहीं ? इन डबडबाती आँखों को तलाश तेरी, आज भी कहीं क्यों है ?

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From: https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked sys.path when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us Importing files from different folder (1822 votes), Relative imports in Python 3 (1064 votes) and Relative imports for the billionth time (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though...

What does it mean to “shift testing left”?

What does it mean to “shift testing left”? I used to think shifting left meant starting all these testing activities earlier in the process, but I realise it is more than that: it means doing different things . Shifting left on testing means thinking about architecture and design differently, considering different stakeholders early and continually. Which in turn means shifting left on security, accessibility, and all the other dimensions of quality that we should care about. So shifting left on testing motivates all kinds of assurance activities, which can stop us over-investing in a solution that was never going to work. It is like TDD on steroids. As an unintended consequence, we can remove much of the traditional work that testers would have to do downstream when they only have late sight of the product. Again, we aren’t doing that work earlier, we are setting ourselves up to never need it at all!
