tux99 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I run the appropriate command (I think) and I get: connection timed out Networks...argh Not sure where to go from here. you need to open the firewall on Mandriva for ssh. in the MCC under Security you can find 'configure your firewall'. Just enable ssh and leave everything else untouched. Also you might have to start the ssh-server (or even install it if you don't have it installed). The package is openssh-server, to start it do the following as root: service sshd start Edited August 29, 2009 by tux99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks tux...Ive given up for tonight. Ill have a go in the morning. I suspected firewall, but I've never touched it in my Linux installs ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) I enable the ssh in the firewall as you suggested. I get ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.3 port 22: Connection refused so then on my mandriva box I [root@localhost matthew]# service sshd start Cannot find sshd service Edit: Oops, I dont have ssh-server installed. I will install it once this massive kde updates finishes. Edited August 30, 2009 by xboxboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) ok, installed ssh-server and then service sshd start. Ran my command to dd over to the mandriva box, it asks for my password then nothing. Just returns to the prompt. I even mkdir /media/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 and the original command still didn't work...Should I be using /media/sda1 in the dd command? Is /media/sda1 identical to /dev/sda1 in that the partition size (and hence it's unused size) is carried over? I'm still so newb at this stuff. Edit: It helps to type the command properly. I was missing the "of" Copied over in full it seems. Now ill burn a copy. Edited August 30, 2009 by xboxboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Ok, its all sorted. I have a fresh install of UNR (Ubuntu Netbook Remix) on my Aspire.
