shaleanyone use xubuntu w/ ltsp v5 and rdesktop for thin clients?12:35
cellofellowJester45: who needs advice?12:35
cellofellowshale: sounds fun, but no, not using that.12:36
cellofellowSounds really specific. Linux thing clients connecting to Windows.12:36
shalecorrect12:36
shalei have it working with ubuntu-desktop but not so much with xubuntu-desktop12:36
cellofellowI think using just a plain window manager like fluxbox would work.12:37
shaleyea me too12:38
cellofellowand, I think that there is even a framebuffer version of rdesktop12:38
shalei'm sorry, what does that mean... framebuffer?12:38
shalever of rdesktop12:38
cellofellowframebuffer. graphics without X, in the Linux Console.12:39
cellofellowone sec12:39
shalesounds shnazzy12:39
SharnFluxbox is shnazzy too. =O12:40
cellofellowI have this chapter from an ebook on LTSP. I know it mentions redesktop and didn't include X.12:41
cellofellowstill looking12:42
cellofellownot there, huh12:44
cellofellowwill open on computer in just a minute12:45
shalewell don't knock yourself on my account :)12:45
cellofellowno no no12:45
=== hansin321 [n=eric@c-71-196-138-170.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has left #xubuntu []
cellofellowah,, here it is. in ltsp.conf, set SCREEN_NN = rdesktop -f hostname12:49
cellofellowNN is number12:49
cellofellowlike, for example, you could have SCREEN_01 run a shell or getty for access to the thin client itself, SCREEN_02 use ssh or rsh to have shell access to the server, and SCREEN_03 could be startx for Linux server GUI, or rdesktop for Windows server GUI.12:50
cellofellowgot that?12:51
shaleroger that12:51
cellofellowtoo bad I don't have an RDP server, or I'd try that rdesktop thing.12:51
cellofellowI think -f means framebuffer.12:51
Sharn-totally lost-12:51
cellofellowSharn: Linux Terminal Server Project, LTSP. It's a wrapper for lots of other services so you can make thin clients.12:52
SharnHmmmm. Ok. :P12:52
cellofellowI know! I can use VirtualBox as an RDP server, and then test the rdesktop -f thing.12:53
SharnI'm not that interested, I'm just totally lost when it cmoes down to screens, graphics, terminals, etc in linux.12:53
cellofellowah, well.12:53
cellofellowIt is a little weird.12:53
cellofellownow, to get that shell-thing to work, there has to be a way to get SSH to authenticate with getty or something like that.12:54
SharnHeh. Confusing t someone who's never really gone into it. Not a biggy though12:54
cellofellowyeah, all well and good. Even a pencil would be confusing to someone who'd never seen one before.12:55

SharnHah. That's great01:02
cellofellowshale: I just tested. rdesktop needs X, and rdeskop -f isn't framebuffer, it's fullscreen.01:03
shalecellofello: gotcha01:03
=== merhojt [n=Jimmy@h107n2c1o885.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #xubuntu
cellofellowstill, use the lightest window manager you can, maybe evilwm or ratpoison, and have it run rdesktop -f and you'll be in business.01:08
cellofellowratpoison would be good. then no one can accidently do anything to it. It'll be invisible. Just configure its keystrokes to something really really weird.01:10

TorahteenI'm trying to get my wireless working02:54
TorahteenI followed the steps in this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22520602:54
eagle-101ok, first off, what is your card?02:54
Torahteenit's a Linksys USB02:54
TorahteenWUSB54GS version 2.102:54
TorahteenIt all went fine02:54
TorahteenUntil I got to where it tells me to plug in the device02:55
TorahteenHe says:02:55
TorahteenPlug in your device. The Power light will come on, and, after at most 3 seconds, the Link light will blink slowly. If the Link light does blink slowly, sucess!02:55
TorahteenMine doesn't blink, just stays lit02:55
eagle-101mmm02:56
eagle-101hang on a moment02:56
eagle-101ok Torahteen put the card in and type in the terminal 'iwconfig'02:57
eagle-101put that output in a pastebin02:57

test3rok, yes, 'network-manager' seems quite nice, indeed.06:26
test3rat least with an outdated laptop, with madwifi drivers06:26
test3rwhich is rly the best setup u could get (and it just landed on me- im just thankful) to be able to test wifi things06:27
test3rit took some fooling around, but now it clicked itself to setup somehow, and now it is remembering my things and not asking me every 3 sec06:28

test3ron the bar? at the top?06:39
test3rright click it06:39
test3rgoto 'add new item'  and select the volume control option in the following menu06:40
xubuntui have that...and it works when i play mp306:40
test3rcan gspot see what the file type of it is?06:40
test3rdo u know what codec was used for making the file?06:40
xubuntuit's rmvb format06:40
test3rrealmedia??????  id suggest gutting it with something to save it as MPG06:41
test3rthat should play06:41
test3ror avi version 906:41
test3rnew AVI/WMV wont work06:41
xubuntuhow do mean gutting it?06:41
test3rto convert a file type to another type06:42
test3ryou could use 'RealAlternative' for the codec for the input06:43
test3rbut then you'll need a program to save output too into a different format.  either that or find RealAlternative for linux06:43
xubuntulike k-lite codecs06:43
xubuntubut for linux06:44
test3raaaaaaaaa hahahahah according to RealNetworks they say the codecs are illegal because of some junk but you know whats WAY worse than what those nice people that made those codecs did?06:48
test3rthe fact that realplayer would not uninstall back when they were Created06:48
test3rand had other weird things operating in the background of My System06:48
test3rso u know what they can do with their oppinion?  =)06:49
test3rbut yes, essentially it is a codec for a single file type. one thing they say in here time and time again though is that codec packs tend to hinder the upgrade process further down the road06:50
xubuntu;)06:50
test3rits essentially like sony defending their rootkit06:51
xubuntub4 i installed win32codecs i couldnt get anything at all...somehow this time only images worked06:51
test3reven though users were never given an option, nor told it would be installed06:51
test3ri have to admit - the only way ive done win32codecs so far is through @utomatics, but it has given people problems with their systems I hear06:53
test3rbut there Should b instructions now on the Ubuntu forums of how to install all the codecs for all that06:53

Drew3bHey folks,  I have 6.06, and would like to update Firefox and Tbird,  Updating the distro is more than I want to do atm,  HOw do I specify FFx-2 and Tbird-2  instead of the 1.5.xx it now has?07:03
xubuntuerrr..no from other unofficial site...cos at the beginning i didnt know for xubuntu is mousepad :-P07:04
test3rcan you find the main firefox pack inside of Synaptic?07:04
test3ryeah for ubuntu its liek gedit or something but we use mousepad07:05
test3rmousepad is much more fast id imagine07:06
Drew3btest3r: in looking through synaptic, all I see is 1.5.xx07:06
test3rthere are tools for writing C++ and PYTHON too07:06
test3rthat run on gtk i believe07:06
test3rhmmmmmm....  6.06 has no stable "update" menu either07:07
test3rdrew > Good Question, .....  and Firefox wont update itself like it does on the windows version?07:12
test3rthats my last idea. or you could do the old "apt-get install firefox" type thing but im not sure if that's what you want or not. it might brake stuff07:13
Drew3bI have a day or so to make this box ready for an 85 year old; maybe if there is no mistake free synaptic-apt-get way, I should leave it alone.   I have not tried the the package from moz...07:14
test3ris there a .deb?07:15
test3rif there is, the option is uninstal, double clikc the deb. its ez.07:15
Drew3bwell, I was hoping someone here might know of a .deb07:15
test3ro is it only src from c?  you might have to /configure make make install07:16
test3rhave u installed from source yet?07:16
Drew3bNOt on this box, it would take a week.  :-)07:17
test3rone program takes alot less time than a distro ( *cough*  bad GENTOO experiences *cough* )07:19
test3rive compiled openGL-enabled DOOM engine clone for *NIX  from source and it took probably ~ 10min07:20
Drew3bTHat is the problem with FOSS, one is never satisfied and wants the latest and greatest, if it was M$ I'd have-to-suffer :-/07:21

sayersHello, Xubuntu won't let me choose 1280X1024 as a screen format. How would I fix that?05:05
maxamillionsayers: open a terminal window and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and follow the guide and be sure to select the correct screen resolution and then restart X and it should be the "default" setting in the settings manager with all lower resolutions listed below the word "default" (xfce always defaults to the highest possible resolution)05:07
sayerspossibly because I'm using the testing CD05:08
maxamillionsayers: could be05:08
=== sayers [n=sayers@76.20.133.246] has joined #xubuntu
sayersThank you05:12
sayersXubuntu looks great now05:12
maxamillionanytime, glad i could help05:12
sayersI've done that before in Debian but I didn't want to go configuring packages I wasn't sure about05:12
maxamillionyeah, actually pretty much anything debian can be applied to (x)ubuntu accept for small differences which then documentation can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com05:14
maxamillionubuntu technically *is* debian accept modified (more so now than it used to be, but even still ... very debian-ish)05:14
sayersYes05:15
maxamillionbut don't say that around #debian ... they take offense to it ;)05:15
sayersI don't like Gnome or Kde, and Xubuntu is nice05:15
maxamillioni agree05:15

maxamillioni actually run gnome at work because i need to connect to a bunch of samba shares on the fly and nautilus does that rather well, but at home i run xfce on my desktop and laptop05:15
sayersAnyway how can i get my XFCE to look like it should , not like gnome05:16
sayersI have dual core and all the latest technology, I don't run XFCE for it's speed05:16
maxamillionsayers: right click the panel and there is a "properties" (or something similar) button, click that and then select panel 1, alter it .... and the same for panel 205:16

maxamilliontesting actually shouldn't be different in that respect because its been the same way to configure the panel since xfce 4.205:19
sayerswell testing has a lot more updates ;P05:20
maxamillionyup05:20
maxamillionsayers: you should run debian testing or sid ... those have constant "rolling updates" because their testing/unstable branch technically never release05:21
sayersI was on debian testing but installing flash on debian is /near/ impossible05:22
sayersfor amd6405:22
sayersxfburn looks nice05:22
sayersdo you have that on stable?05:22
maxamillionyeah, its useless05:23

maxamilliondoesn't burn music worth a darn, doesn't burn dvds and seg faults sometimes when burning iso images05:23
