[00:10] anyone here to hear me whine? :P [00:10] do you need help? [00:11] yeah, i think so. Trying to get a ubuntu-server installation working virtually first so it'll be `easier` when i have a remote box [00:13] i can't get gdm & freenx to play nicely [00:14] can this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736509&highlight=ssh+login [00:14] * Kludge^WalesUK clix [00:16] hmm, might do, may need to add gdm as a user... will brb and see [00:17] can i ask why you're using nx for an ubuntu server.... there is no gui, gdm,window manger, xserver, what have you....? [00:17] i will have gdm running as well as and X, wine + uTorrent [00:18] mmmmm [00:18] VNC would probably be fine, but FreeNX seems so much quicker [00:19] I can't get FreeNX working `optimally` as it is, I have to use "Shadowing" mode, rather than Gnome/KDE/CDE [00:20] might see if I can just get to xinit without gdm/xfce4 installed [00:21] you can set up vnc over ssh and dial down the "data" requested with your vnc client [00:22] yeah, VNC seems a lot more reliable and risk-free right now. FreeNX NEEDS a windowing environment, and if you can't startx or xinit over SSH, you're screwed pretty much [00:24] luckily i'm virtualizing everything at the moment... A raw ubuntu server installation and an SSH client (which is what my server will have) I then SSH into the VMWare session... so its as "close as possible" to real life circumstances :) [00:33] you still about veNom_bz ? [00:35] yes [00:36] i didn't detect a question [00:36] ok, this should be a really simple question =/ but knowing my luck its not [00:37] ok, my VMWare installation i can run xinit fine... i do a whami and its kludge (correct) but when i SSH into my VMWare session i cannot xinit... i have to sudo xinit and the whoami says root =\ [00:38] do you have a user with a userid of root? [00:39] no idea. but all i done over VMWare is installed SSH, the rest i've done over SSH to the bridged VMWare session.... the user when i installed it was kludge... who when i do anything administrative i still have to sudo [00:41] what'd you suggest, veNom_bz? :) [00:41] i don't think you're really root in your vm? try "id" does it return a uid of 0? [00:41] one second [00:42] kludge has a uid of 1000 [00:42] no man [00:43] in the vm? that is where your problem is right, you're saying xint doesn't run with sudo in your vm correct? [00:44] in the VM you can xinit fine... but over SSH i cannot since that, ultimately, is where i'll need to xinit from [00:44] odd not a problem i've encoutered sorry. you'll need to do some searching or perhaps someone else can assist [00:45] ouch =\ thanks for trying :thumbsup: [02:06] New bug: #249273 in samba (main) "python-samba - where did it go?"

[14:12] while: having some instances of 0.10.4 already running .. [14:38] <_ruben> phaidros: use the source package to create a proper binary package for 0.11 .. or search the web for a ready made package of 0.11 .. the binary package can then be used to upgrade your 0.10.4 install [14:51] _ruben: thanks, but that could break actually the dkpg repo, which should take care of all installed stuff imho ;) [14:51] well, not the repo, but the install of trac .. [14:52] so, when sooner or later, the ubuntu guys are done packaging 0.11.2 an upgrade might fail [14:52] <_ruben> 0.11.2 would replace 0.11 again [14:53] <_ruben> as long as you stick to the versioning rules, you're ok .. installing it from source for example would be far worse [14:55] _ruben: so to what kind of source package are you referring? tar.gz ? how to make a bin package out of it? or are you referring to .deb packages? [14:58] _ruben: could you point to a certain documentation? [14:59] <_ruben> sudo apt-get source trac (assuming trac is the (binary) package name) [14:59] <_ruben> lets see if i can find the docs i used [14:59] _ruben: apt-get source is clear, but then further I'm stumbling blind :) [15:00] <_ruben> http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html [15:00] <_ruben> thats a decent starting point [15:00] <_ruben> took me some time to get my head around it aswell, but once you do its rather logical ;) [15:05] kewl, thanx [15:56] Is there a program I can use to link a few networked ubuntu computers together to make my own "supercomputer"?
