[03:04] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Hello
[03:04] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Is anyone using XFCE for VNC, server-side?
[03:04] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Is it ok?
[03:05] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I guess, since Gnome is...
[03:05] <[BG]ZloboMiR> And how can I remove Gnome and KDE
[03:05] <[BG]ZloboMiR> It is a big * on the mashine now
[03:05] <[BG]ZloboMiR> There was some link
[03:05] <[BG]ZloboMiR> With a sudo... string
[03:06] <[BG]ZloboMiR> removing all
[03:06] <[BG]ZloboMiR> * machine
[03:08] <rww> ubottu: purexfce | [BG]ZloboMiR
[03:08] <ubottu> [BG]ZloboMiR: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce »
[03:15] <[BG]ZloboMiR> 10x!

[03:49] <ubottu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[03:50] <[BG]ZloboMiR> !FreeNX
[03:50] <ubottu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[03:50] <_Techie_> freeNX is twitchy, difficult to set up comared to otehr alternatives
[03:51] <[BG]ZloboMiR> OK, gime alternatives pls :)
[03:52] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Or there are in Sinaptycs?
[03:52] <[BG]ZloboMiR> My ystem is accessed in LAN
[03:52] <_Techie_> okay
[03:52] <_Techie_> quick questions
[03:52] <[BG]ZloboMiR> No security risks
[03:52] <_Techie_> is sound required?
[03:52] <[BG]ZloboMiR> However, removing gnome and KDE killed mysql
[03:53] <[BG]ZloboMiR> no, no sound
[03:53] <_Techie_> and you dont mind a non perfect picture quality?
[03:53] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I was using vino afaicr
[03:53] <[BG]ZloboMiR> well, perfect is preferred
[03:53] <_Techie_> hrmm
[03:53] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I have the speed to afford it
[03:53] <_Techie_> =)
[03:54] <_Techie_> you mentioned removing gnome and KDE
[03:54] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Yes, first it was Ubuntu install
[03:54] <_Techie_> is this on client or server?
[03:54] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Then I put KDE on it pecause of some radio server
[03:54] <[BG]ZloboMiR> But VNC was buggy
[03:55] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Server
[03:55] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I am using it with GUI for convenience
[03:55] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Still not a console maniac
[03:55] <_Techie_> so do you currently have a desktop environment installed?
[03:55] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Yes, I have Xfce
[03:55] <_Techie_> cool
[03:55] <_Techie_> final question
[03:56] <_Techie_> do you actually want to control a current session, or a virtual session
[03:56] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Since VNC on KDE went bad, and system was badly s*rewed I tried the last option
[03:56] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I think it is current session
[03:56] <_Techie_> !x11vnc
[03:56] <_Techie_> =(
[03:56] <_Techie_> oh well, ill grab you a link
[03:56] <[BG]ZloboMiR> i. e. I am entering as the same user as the logged one
[03:56] <[BG]ZloboMiR> right?
[03:57] <_Techie_> yeah
[03:57] <_Techie_> thats current session
[03:57] <[BG]ZloboMiR> !x11vnc
[03:57] <_Techie_> http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/
[03:57] <_Techie_> it shoudl also be in the repositories
[03:57] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Thanks
[03:57] <[BG]ZloboMiR> It should also be in the default install :)
[03:58] <[BG]ZloboMiR> There are things to learn from winboze ;)
[03:58] <_Techie_> get someone to whipe you up a quick looping bash scritp to start it
[03:58] <_Techie_> whip*
[03:58] <[BG]ZloboMiR>  #!bin/sh
[03:58] <[BG]ZloboMiR> me not so bad :P
[03:58] <_Techie_> cool
[03:58] <_Techie_> you should be fine then
[03:59] <[BG]ZloboMiR> will see: >
[03:59] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Thanks again
[03:59] <_Techie_> no problem
[03:59] <_Techie_> just give us a yell if you run into trouble
[04:00] <[BG]ZloboMiR> okie
[04:00] <[BG]ZloboMiR> apt-get installed it

[04:20] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Ubuntu comes with remote desktop manager.
[04:20] <[BG]ZloboMiR> what is the package in ubuntu?
[04:20] <[BG]ZloboMiR> this was mine
[04:20] <[BG]ZloboMiR> And this is the reason I can't remember the name
[04:20] <[BG]ZloboMiR> was included
[04:21] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Only 2 monitors in tray and saying"Another user is controlling your desktop"
[04:21] <_Techie_> im currently elsewhere, experimenting with various things
[04:21] <[BG]ZloboMiR> ok
[04:21] <[BG]ZloboMiR> be careful
[04:22] <rww> [BG]ZloboMiR: vinagre or vino or something
[04:22] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I have vino
[04:23] <[BG]ZloboMiR> but not in menus
[04:23] <[BG]ZloboMiR> can't start in terminal
[04:23] <[BG]ZloboMiR> checking vinagre now
[04:24] <[BG]ZloboMiR> no, vinagre is the viewer

[10:07] <dahaic> hi guys, some of you probably use lucid already. is it possible to not see list of users in the login screen? I would like to have just simple behavior of -9.04
[10:15] <rww> dahaic: Lucid support and discussion is in #ubuntu+1
[10:19] <dahaic> I ask here, because I remember uproar caused by change in this particular feature particulary on Xubuntu when karmic released, but whatever

=== Pici` is now known as Pici
[14:57] <sismos> helow #xubuntu , ! Xubuntu, or is there a better alternative?
[14:57] <sismos> Just recently I upgraded from xubuntu something to xubuntu 9.10. The upgrade process has screwed up my system, and I can't log in anymore. Point is I need to re-install it anyways, as I am switching hard drives. I was wondering if anyone knew a good distribution to use. Here what I use my linux box for:
[14:58] <sismos> # Internet browsing
[14:58] <sismos> # Office work/word processing (includes PowerPoint presentation)
[14:58] <sismos> # YouTube videos
[14:58] <sismos> # Music (I have a Zune)
[14:58] <sismos> Any suggestions on a good distro.? I need something that is light, something that runs fast on a mediocre system. thankssssssss !
[14:58] <charlie-tca> You really going to ask in Xubuntu if there is something better than Xubuntu ?
[14:58] <Sachse_Siechtum> sismos, The best distro is Xubuntu of course! :-)
[14:59] <charlie-tca> I highly recommend XUBUNTU, myself, especially when asked in this channel
[14:59] <Sachse_Siechtum> fire fox or midori for internet
[14:59] <Sachse_Siechtum> open office or Gnu office for office needs
[14:59] <charlie-tca> Abiword for word-processing
[15:00] <Sachse_Siechtum> second that
[15:00] <charlie-tca> exaile or listen for music
[15:00] <Sachse_Siechtum> or rythmbox
[15:00] <Sachse_Siechtum> and xubuntu is good gor mediocre systems
[15:01] <Sachse_Siechtum> for
[15:01] <charlie-tca> Of course, one should install it from a Xubuntu cd
[15:01] <Sachse_Siechtum> and the women love it, too! When in a club, just tell the girl you're using Xubuntu and its good game *g*
[15:02] <Sachse_Siechtum> ;-)
[15:02]  * charlie-tca nods in agreement
[15:02] <charlie-tca> sismos: Do you have a real question?
[15:03] <charlie-tca> sismos: Thanks for helping the day easier, a joke now and then is really good
[15:03] <sismos> jajj
[15:03] <Sachse_Siechtum> :-)
[15:03] <Sachse_Siechtum> I gotta use that line though..
[15:04] <Sachse_Siechtum> which reminds me off this story...
[15:04] <Sachse_Siechtum> of
[15:04] <Sachse_Siechtum> "boy uses a candy vending machine. He got lucky and got 2 chocolate bars instead of one."
[15:04] <Sachse_Siechtum> boy utters: "Ownd!"
[15:05] <Sachse_Siechtum> girl stand behind him heard him and says: "Buguser!"
[15:05] <Sachse_Siechtum> they got together *lol*
[18:50] <faron>  Hello everybody.Hopefully all are well today.Firefox keeps shutting down everytime I attempt to load a certain webpage.Is there any way at all to stop this ? The page I am trying to load,is an instructional page from within this page...   http://www.blogjer.com/2009/03/02/this-firefox-tweak-release-memory-when-minimized/      The actual page that I am trying to load comes from a link {the word "tip"} from that page.ANY advice ?
[18:53] <pleia2> faron: if you run firefox from a terminal and repeat the steps to create this crash there is a chance it'll give you some kind of output when it crashes as to why
[18:53] <pleia2> in the terminal
