I would appreaciate help, thanks [09:38] thansfer data, sorry [09:56] scp should work fine [09:56] !scp [09:56] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [10:37] hi folks, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction re: remote desktop? [10:38] CptnAwesome, vnc [10:38] or ssh if you only want/need cli access [10:38] well, i'm already that far, i was kinda hoping for a bit of info as to which packages i need to install etc [10:39] do you want to share that desktop or connect to a different machine? [10:39] ive setup ssh, its all i'll need MOST of the time, but im not much of a guru when it comes to editing text files from the cli [10:39] i want to connect to a different machine [10:40] i have a client on my laptop, but i need a server on the other machine [10:42] ok then use something like tightvncserver or vino (vino depends on some gnome stuff though) [10:43] .. but might be easier to setup [10:45] cool, i'll give vino a whirl [10:51] <_Pete_> CptnAwesome: right direction = freenx [10:51] hrmmm that rings a bell [10:52] how difficult is it to configure? [10:55] _Pete_, i'd like to have a bit of a chat. pick your brain about freeNX, if you dont mind (or anyone else thats around) [10:56] <_Pete_> just install packets [10:56] <_Pete_> and it works [10:56] <_Pete_> at least for me [10:56] <_Pete_> bonus is that it communicates using ssh [10:57] <_Pete_> so is secure [11:01] yeah i found a how-to on the ubuntu website =) [13:04] I have installed a new theme from Desktop Settings > New Theme, but I don't know how to apply it. It doesn't show in my dropdown list of themes -- there's just the two default ones [13:05] sorry, wrong channel [15:16] hello, I cannot connect another machine wish ssh using GIGOLO. I can connect my xubuntu from another machine, though I cannot see files with gigolo, I would appreaciate help [15:37] anyone using Mac Portuguese Layout on Xubuntu ? === cedron is now known as chum [17:53] Problem: partitioned and formatted external hd. Device appears in file manager. Device fails to mount: "The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." [17:54] How do I mount the drive? [18:14] Amgine what type of filesystem did you format your hd into? [18:14] ext2 [18:15] I used gigolo to connect, and now it's mounted. Now I'm wondering why that worked. [18:17] maybe that partition wasn't properly unmounted before [18:21] Probably not. [18:21] Thanks chum! [18:37] My firefox crash, what i need do? [19:21] Do a barrel roll, valdu55.
