Using LogMeIn

[cmcanulty]

I am trying to use logmein to manage some of our library networked computers as a remote login. I can easily see and use all the win 7 machines, but all of our public machines are running Ubuntu Classic 12.04. I don't know what information I need to do this. I am also running Ubuntu Classic 12.04 at home where I can access the win 7 machines. How do I go about adding the Ubuntu machines, like what do I need to do at the library end on each machine and at my home machine. I have read about this but am not too good at networking, so please answer for dummies.

Some starters. LogMeIn is a Windows executable. I don't know if it has client/servers for Linux. The usual and secure way to log remotely on a linux machine is to use ssh. But it allows only console interaction. To see the screen one way to do it is to do VNC via a SSH tunnel. Another way if the connection is local and fast is to do X11 though a ssh tunnel. I don't go into details but if you search for those keywords you'll find plenty of tutorials.

From my Ubuntu machine at home I can login by using logmein website and control the win 7 computers and control them just as if I am sitting at them. I need to know how to add the ubuntu machines and control them the same way

I am pretty sure that LogMeIn does not offer a version for Linux.

You should check out TeamViewer...
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx

Not only do they have a Linux version but they also have the browser based login capability's...
https://login.teamviewer.com/

Plus there is also a Portable Version that can be run from a USB Flash Drive...

The Portable version is only available for Windows but in my case that is perfect because I can use it at my work computer to Login to both my Linux and Windows based computers without having to install anything.

Plus there is also a free Android App that I use to login to both my Linux and Windows based computers.

I will try itI hope you can provide some help. Logmein does work as I said in my Ubuntu 12.04 to access windows I just need to know how to fill it the network stuff to access the Ubuntus. If yours works with a GUI that would be great.
Here is the beta .deb for logmein

Pay???

It is free if your not using in for commercial purposes.

I have been using it for years and it hasn't cost me a Penny.

I never said that it was Open Source and LogMeIn isn't Open Source either.

sorry it said 15 days left on trial or buy

Which one did you download and install?

Maybe it automatically gives a trial of the non free version of TeamViewer just like LogMeIn does.
