It can be for a security reason or simply because you do not manage your company's firewall.\n\n\nTo overcome this problem you can use a SSH tunnel. That's how it look like:\n\n[[File:Tunnel SSH.png|950px]]\n\n\n=Requirements=\n\n* You must be able to SSH to the middle server (''code.vehco.com'' in the example) from both ends [source + target].\n* The '''source''' computer is a Windows workstation. \n* The '''target''' computer can be anything: iPad, Windows, Linux, Android... \n\n\n\n=Source PC=\n\n==Requirements==\n\n\n* Windows computer with RDP enable\n* Bitvise # Tunnelier -> http://www.bitvise.com/download-area\n\n\n==How to proceed?==\n\n\n* Enable Windows RDP\u200b\n* Install Bitvise # Tunnelier\n* Create a SSH tunnel\n** Start Tunnelier\n** Go to the '''S2C''' tab\n** '''Add''' a new entry\n*** LISTEN => remote server (''code.vehco.com'' in that example)\n**** LISTEN interface: 127.0.0.1 \u200b\n**** LISTEN port: what_you_want (ex: 60001)\n*** DESTINATION => local machine (RDP server)\n**** DESTINATION interface: localhost\n**** DESTINATION port: 3389 \n** Go to the '''login''' tab\n*** server: code.vehco.com\n*** port: TCP 22 \n*** login: ''myLogin''\n*** passwd: ''myPassword'' \n** '''\u200bSave''' your profile\n** ''Start'' your profile\n\n\n\n==How to start Bitvise on boot?==\n\nTo start Bitvise automatically:\n\n\n* \u200bCreate a new entry in your Windows > Start menu > startup \u200bfolder\n* put the following shortcut: \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\BvSsh.exe\" -profile=\"portforward.tlp\" \u2013loginOnStartup \n\n\nwhere ''portforward.tlp'' is the name of your profile.\n\n\n\n'''Limitations'''\n\n\n* [!] You have to log-in on your PC for the SSH tunnel to work. \n* [!] You should disable screensavers | energy savers otherwise your PC will NOT be available anymore.\n\n\n\n\n=Target PC - Windows computer=\n\n\n==Requirements==\n\n\n* Bitvise # Tunnelier -> http://www.bitvise.com/download-area\n\n\n==How to proceed?==\n\n\n===Bitvise configuration===\n\n\n* Install a RDP client or use the default one (Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop)\n* Install Bitvise # Tunnelier\n** Go to the '''S2C''' tab\n** '''Add''' a new entry\n*** LISTEN => remote server (''code.vehco.com'' in that example)\n**** LISTEN interface: 127.0.0.1 \u200b\n**** LISTEN port: what_you_put_earlier (ex: 60001)\n*** DESTINATION => local machine (RDP client)\n**** DESTINATION interface: localhost\n**** DESTINATION port: 3390 \n** Go to the '''login''' tab\n*** server: code.vehco.com\n*** port: TCP 22 \n*** login: ''myLogin''\n*** passwd: ''myPassword'' \n** '''\u200bSave''' your profile\n** ''Start'' your profile\n\n\n[!] Note the local TCP '''3390''' !

In case of issues please read the next chapter !!\n\n\n'''Dual-boot'''\n\n(i) For dual-boot you can create partitions for Linux during the installation. \n* Windows partition = 70Gb (Primary) [76 022 Mb]\n* Linux partition = 37 Gb (Primary) [37 888 Mb]\n* Swap linux = 8192 Mb (Primay)\nWindows will create the boot loader partition, say ''yes'' to authorize windows to create additional partitions.\n\n\n==Fixing GPT issue==\n\nIf you have the following error: <code>windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the gpt partition style</code>\n\n* You need to '''open a terminal''' during installation: '''Shift + F10'''\n* Launch <code>diskpart</code>\n* Type <code>list disk</code>\n* Select the SSD disk number <code>select disk 1</code>  \n* Type <code>clean</code>\n* Type <code>convert gpt</code>\n* Type <code>exit</code>\n\n\nSource: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-installing-using-the-mbr-or-gpt-partition-style\n\n\n==Disable fast startup==\n\nSource: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-10-a.html\n\n* Go to '''Control Panel''' > '''Hardware and sound''' > '''Power options''' > On the left, click on '''Choose what the power button do'''\n* Click on the shield to enable administrator settings '''Change settings that are currently unavailable'''\n* Under '''Shutdown settings''' > '''uncheck''' ''Turn on fast startup box'' \n\n\n\n\n==Useful programs==\n\nInstall windows normally with your favorites programs.\n\n\n==Configuration tricks==\n\nDon't forget to set your TEMP directories to the DATA HDD. This is one of the key point to use a small partition for windows.\n\n\n=Linux setup=\n\n==Download *Ubuntu ISO==\n\nGo to [https://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] website and download the ISO you'd like to use. \n\nI'm using [https://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ Xubuntu]\n\n\n==Create bootable USB key==\n\nUse [https://unetbootin.github.io/ UNetBootIn] to put the ISO image to create a bootable USB key.\n\n\n==Mount Windows and Data partitions==\n\nTo mount the NTFS partitions you have to: \n# Create the target mount points\n<syntaxhighlight lang=\"bash\">\nmkdir -p /mnt/windows\nmkdir -p /mnt/data\nchown -R guillaume:users /mnt/*\nchmod -R 777 /mnt/*\n</syntaxhighlight>\n\n# Get the UUID of each partition using <code>ls -ld /dev/disk/by-uuid/*</code>\n# Edit the boot file <code>/etc/fstab</code>\n\n!! Adjust the UUID to your own values + adapt the partitions disk and number to your actual configuration !!\n\n<syntaxhighlight lang=\"bash\">\n# / was on /dev/sdb2 during installation\nUUID=e2504785-deae-4d12-ac63-de84dda3c980 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro                                    0       1\n# swap was on /dev/sdb3 during installation\nUUID=774c5306-a718-4cb7-a874-cec444b78a75 none            swap    sw                                                   0       0\n# Data drive (/sda2)\nUUID=405A07D75A07C89C                     /mnt/data       ntfs    defaults,windows_names,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000   0       0\n# Partition windows (/sdb1)\nUUID=DAF00EACF00E8EC7                     /mnt/windows    ntfs    defaults,windows_names,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000   0       0\n</syntaxhighlight>\n\nYou must reboot for the partitions to appear in /mnt/...\n\n\n==Fix READ-ONLY issue==\n\nAfter the reboot the partition might be in a read-only mode - probably because windows uses \"fast reboot\" option. \nTo fix that:\n* Unmount the target disk: \n\n<code>umount /mnt/data</code>\n\n* Run NTFSFIX\n\n<code>sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda2</code>\n\n* Mount the partition again: \n\n<code>sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/data/</code>\n\n\n==Configure GRUB menu==\n\n<syntaxhighlight lang=\"bash\">\napt-get install grub-Customizer\n</syntaxhighlight>\n\n\n<syntaxhighlight lang=\"bash\">\n# Backup GRUB data\nsudo cp -Rp /etc/grub.d /etc/grub.d.ori\n\n# Install application\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer\nsudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install grub-customizer\n\n# Lancer l'application\ngksudo grub-customizer\n</syntaxhighlight>\n\n\nSource: https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/grub-customizer  (in French)\n\n\n==Particular points==\n\nEverything works fine after reboot under Xubunt 16.10. Wifi, bluetooth, graphics, sound, keyboard shortcuts and light, etc. All is good ! :)\n\n\n==Windows configuration changes==\n\nAt last, you can set the Windows TEMP to the correct drive letter. \n  \n\nHappy coding to all of you ! ;)\n\n\n\n=Contact=\n\nIf you have questions or issues with the guide above feel free to contact me to:   guillaume [@]  qin-diaz.com"
