[12:36] shale: sounds fun, but no, not using that. [12:36] Sounds really specific. Linux thing clients connecting to Windows. [12:36] correct [12:36] i have it working with ubuntu-desktop but not so much with xubuntu-desktop [12:37] I think using just a plain window manager like fluxbox would work. [12:38] yea me too [12:38] and, I think that there is even a framebuffer version of rdesktop [12:38] i'm sorry, what does that mean... framebuffer? [12:38] ver of rdesktop [12:39] framebuffer. graphics without X, in the Linux Console. [12:39] one sec [12:39] sounds shnazzy [12:40] Fluxbox is shnazzy too. =O [12:41] I have this chapter from an ebook on LTSP. I know it mentions redesktop and didn't include X. [12:42] still looking [12:44] not there, huh [12:45] will open on computer in just a minute [12:45] well don't knock yourself on my account :) [12:45] no no no === hansin321 [n=eric@c-71-196-138-170.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has left #xubuntu [] [12:49] ah,, here it is. in ltsp.conf, set SCREEN_NN = rdesktop -f hostname [12:49] NN is number [12:50] like, 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. [12:51] got that? [12:51] roger that [12:51] too bad I don't have an RDP server, or I'd try that rdesktop thing. [12:51] I think -f means framebuffer. [12:51] -totally lost- [12:52] Sharn: Linux Terminal Server Project, LTSP. It's a wrapper for lots of other services so you can make thin clients. [12:52] Hmmmm. Ok. :P [12:53] I know! I can use VirtualBox as an RDP server, and then test the rdesktop -f thing. [12:53] I'm not that interested, I'm just totally lost when it cmoes down to screens, graphics, terminals, etc in linux. [12:53] ah, well. [12:53] It is a little weird. [12:54] now, 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] Heh. Confusing t someone who's never really gone into it. Not a biggy though [12:55] yeah, all well and good. Even a pencil would be confusing to someone who'd never seen one before. === hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-93-168.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu [12:58] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFAWR6hzZek [12:59] -clicks link and hopes ff doesn't stall again- === celt1c [n=celtic42@209-6-163-104.c3-0.wak-ubr1.sbo-wak.ma.cable.rcn.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:02] Hah. That's great [01:03] shale: I just tested. rdesktop needs X, and rdeskop -f isn't framebuffer, it's fullscreen. [01:03] cellofello: gotcha === merhojt [n=Jimmy@h107n2c1o885.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:08] still, use the lightest window manager you can, maybe evilwm or ratpoison, and have it run rdesktop -f and you'll be in business. [01:10] ratpoison 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. === catraca [n=catraca@201-34-86-107.smace701.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br] has joined #xubuntu === catraca [n=catraca@201-34-86-107.smace701.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br] has left #xubuntu ["Konversation] === wheels3572 [n=wheels@dsl-69-50-50-80.pivot.net] has joined #xubuntu === vidd [n=vidd@70.44.139.57.res-cmts.sm.ptd.net] has joined #xubuntu === az [n=alec@65-45-140-65.min-01.cvx.algx.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:33] does anyone know how to make an xfce4 theme? === az [n=alec@65-45-140-65.min-01.cvx.algx.net] has left #xubuntu [] === azamo [n=alec@65-45-140-65.min-01.cvx.algx.net] has joined #xubuntu === azamo [n=alec@65-45-140-65.min-01.cvx.algx.net] has left #xubuntu [] === BFTD [n=thomas@216.139.26.215] has joined #xubuntu === Schuenemann [n=linux@200.254.153.2] has joined #xubuntu === smi [n=smi@cs181008068.pp.htv.fi] has joined #xubuntu === cellofellow [n=josh@69-71-170-29.mammothnetworks.com] has joined #xubuntu === mo0osah [n=mo0osah@cpe-70-116-21-77.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu === mo0osah [n=mo0osah@cpe-70-116-21-77.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu === Torahteen [n=torahtee@c-67-172-140-84.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [02:53] Hey guys [02:53] hi [02:54] I'm trying to get my wireless working [02:54] I followed the steps in this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225206 [02:54] ok, first off, what is your card?

[06:42] to convert a file type to another type [06:43] you could use 'RealAlternative' for the codec for the input [06:43] but then you'll need a program to save output too into a different format. either that or find RealAlternative for linux [06:43] like k-lite codecs [06:44] but for linux [06:48] aaaaaaaaa 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?

[07:03] Hey 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? [07:04] errr..no from other unofficial site...cos at the beginning i didnt know for xubuntu is mousepad :-P [07:04] can you find the main firefox pack inside of Synaptic? [07:05] yeah for ubuntu its liek gedit or something but we use mousepad [07:06] mousepad is much more fast id imagine [07:06] test3r: in looking through synaptic, all I see is 1.5.xx [07:06] there are tools for writing C++ and PYTHON too [07:06] that run on gtk i believe [07:07] hmmmmmm.... 6.06 has no stable "update" menu either [07:12] drew > Good Question, ..... and Firefox wont update itself like it does on the windows version? [07:13] thats 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 stuff [07:14] I 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... [07:15] is there a .deb? [07:15] if there is, the option is uninstal, double clikc the deb. its ez. [07:15] well, I was hoping someone here might know of a .deb [07:16] o is it only src from c? you might have to /configure make make install [07:16] have u installed from source yet? [07:17] NOt on this box, it would take a week. :-) [07:19] one program takes alot less time than a distro ( *cough* bad GENTOO experiences *cough* ) [07:20] ive compiled openGL-enabled DOOM engine clone for *NIX from source and it took probably ~ 10min [07:21] THat is the problem with FOSS, one is never satisfied and wants the latest and greatest, if it was M$ I'd have-to-suffer :-/ [07:22] and like it.
