Install wine + utorrent + VNC in Ubuntu

You are not familiar with Utorrent any more. Unfortunately, all the major pt sites do not support the utorrent server version in linux. We can only go a long way and use a virtual windows environment in Linux, to achieve the dream of installing and using utorrent.

This is a DEBIAN-based tutorial. Because Ubuntu is based on Debian, it is generally used.

X.org, gnome/kde/xfce & vncserver


First, use the root user to log on to your VPS or other servers to install the display system.


Apt-get install xorg

After the installation is complete, our VPS will have X11, but it cannot be displayed yet. Select your preferred interface. GNOME and KDE are currently two mainstream Linux interfaces, and XFACE is lightweight.

Gnome: apt-get install gnome
KDE: apt-get install kde
Xfce (light): apt-get install xfce4


(Ubuntu 10.04 may prompt that there is a dependency problem. I finally chose xface)

This step may be slow. You can have a cup of coffee or something.

Now, we have configured the display and desktop environment. Next, we will install vnc-server.

Debian: apt-get install vncserver
Ubuntu: apt-get install vnc4server


After the installation, you need a vnc client, tightVNC: http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html is recommended

Next we need to start vncserver. Note that we should not use the root user to start it (in this case, but most people are very lazy and are responsible for their own security issues ).

Vncserver-geometry1024 x 768-depth 16

-Geometry: sets the display resolution, which can be 800x600.

-Depth: Set the color bit. You can also use 24 real colors, as long as you think your bandwidth is wide enough.

After the command is completed, you need to enter the password and the six-digit password, which is the password you will use to connect to the VNC later.

If everything is normal, you will get a message like this

New 84xi: 1 (root) desktop is 84xi: 1

Creating default startup script/root/. vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in/root/. vnc/xstartup
Log file is/root/. vnc/84xi: 1.log

Now open your vnc client and enter the ip address of your VPS: 1.

Note: 1 should not be missed. Otherwise, the vncserver can be opened more than 2: 3...




If you want to kill the vncserver, just enter:

Vncserver-kill: 1

Vncserver 1 is killed.

Wine & utorrent
Now we have to install utorrent and wine. In fact, there are many ways to install this. I am a lazy person and a lazy person. Of course I still use the Package Manager.

Install wine:

Apt-get install wine

After installing wine, you need to download and install utorrent.

Download utorrent:

Wget http://www.filehippo.com/download/file/61e0404010e919a4ea5c9c29c2b687ab4dab1b04dba7cbc71c3caa6cc426c35c/

Various versions of utorrent can be downloaded.

The file name that can be downloaded is index.html. If it is irrelevant, You can rename it utorcmd.exe (cp index.html utorcmd.exe)

Then enter the command

Wine utorcmd.exe

The familiar interface is displayed in front of you. Next, you can use it whenever you use it. You can even directly install firefox, everything is the same as running it locally.

If you like Web operations and webui, download webui and put it in this path.

Cd ~ /. Wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/<username here>/Application Data

Enable the remote function of utorrent. To use webui, remember to restart utorrent.
