How to remotely install Ubuntu through TeamViewer

06 May
So, this guy called me up and asked for installing Ubuntu cause he was a Linoob (not that worse). He said that  he can do everything except partitioning cause he still isn’t expert at that till now.
He wanted me to do his partitioning, but he was just 3000 kilometers (seems like “3000/- only” price tag) away from my place.
So, this idea came to my mind. Eureka! :p
Sharing with you the remote installation of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Requirements:
Procedure:
  • Just pop your CD into your CD/DVD Drive and boot through it to the Live environment.
  • Now go to the Network Manager Applet (top right) and configure your internet connection from there so that you may be able to connect to the “The Support Guy”
    (For Connecting to Internet Refer this Forum Post)
  • Done with connecting to internet, now is the time to Download TeamViewer
  • Run the deb package you downloaded and click “Install Package”
  • Go To Applications -> Internet – >TeamViewer
    An ID and Password will be generated on the left automatically.
  • Just provide the ID and the Password to “The Support Guy” and leave the rest on him. :D (Refer This For Installing Ubuntu)

Note: This procedure has been tested for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and may or maynot work with older versions of Ubuntu

TeamViewer comes to Ubuntu

02 May

Download Now

Ever tried giving remote support to any of your friends.Well probably I do it everyday and its kind easy task if you are using Windows but handling it in Linux is difficult job (atleast not so quick).But all your problems gonna get easier thanx to TeamViewer.

The amazing software, earlier available just for windows ,is now available as Beta for various Linux Distros including Ubuntu.

It comes as free for personal use with all features enabled while for commercial use you have to pay a nominal fee for a lifetime license

The sessions in TeamViewer are 256-bit secured and the software works out-of-box with various OS versions.Also it has features of VPN,voice chatting as well as chatting and also online transfer of files.The software also supports browser bases remote support which also doesn’t require any additional plugins.This can be effectively used for presentations,handling remote servers as well as clients.

If going for a try then just remember that what you need is the  ID and authentication Password of remote PC and you are good to go .

Happy Remote Support :)
