Linux - How to Use LogMeIn Rescue Remote Support Technician Console in Ubuntu

Submitted by ingram on Sun, 12/16/2012 - 11:15pm

Since LogMeIn Rescue  only officially supports Windows, many of you Linux users who would like to provide remote support to Windows and Mac users from a Linux system may be disappointed. However, since LogMeIn Rescue is web-based, you can actually use the fully functional LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console from a Linux system using WINE. This tutorial was tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 using the Windows version of Firefox 17.0.1 through WINE. It should work on any Debian based system. It has not been tested on openSUSE or Fedora, but if you install the respective packages for those distributions, this should work as well. (For those of you that aren't familiar with LogMeIn Rescue, it as a popular subscription remote support product.)

To begin, follow this step-by-step tutorial to install the Windows version of Firefox on Linux:

How to Use N-able's N-central DirectConnect in Ubuntu Linux

Submitted by ingram on Sat, 12/15/2012 - 5:19pm

Since N-able's N-central only officially supports Windows when using DirectConnect, many of you IT professionals that use Linux as your primary desktop may be disappointed. You can still log into N-central and have limited functionality using Linux, but you will not be able to use DirectConnect to remote control one of the agents. Thanks to the WINE project, by installing the Windows versions of Firefox and Java, you can actually use DirectConnect on Linux. This tutorial is tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 using Firefox 17.0.1 and Java RE 1.7.0.10, although these instructions should work on any Debian based system. It has not been tested on openSUSE or Fedora, but if you install the respective packages for those distributions, this should work as well.

To begin, follow this step-by-step tutorial to install the Windows version of Firefox on Linux:

This tutorial shows how to install the latest Windows version of the Java Runtime Environment (currently version 1.7.0.10) on Ubuntu Linux using WINE. It was tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, but should work on any Debian based system. If you need to install the Windows version of Firefox in Linux to use Java with, follow this tutorial.

To begin, download the latest Java RE offline installer here (future version should work, but this was tested with version 1.7.0.10): http://filehippo.com/download_jre_32/

Now we will install wine, make the Java installer executable, and install it with WINE (this assumes the Java installer is named jre-7u10-windows-i586.exe and is located in the Downloads folder. If not, make the necessary adjustments):

sudo apt-get install wine

chmod +x ~/Downloads/jre-7u10-windows-i586.exe

wine ~/Downloads/jre-7u10-windows-i586.exe

Now the Java installer will launch:
