[03:25] sorrell: did you read /usr/share/doc//README.Debian? [03:32] can anyone point me in the direction on how to install a virtual desktop on a server with no gui? [03:35] twb, I will do that now, thank you. [03:36] i_is_broke: we usually encourage people to learn to use a CLI instead [03:37] twb, ive tried, but im kind of thick skulled and am not getting some of it i read...and there for fubar my system from time to time. [03:38] i_is_broke: are you thinking of VNC, or what? [03:39] twb: well i was told by someone that qemu, kvm would do it, but i cant really find anything on how to do it. [03:40] qemu/kvm is for a "virtual desktop" in the sense of emulating a whole new system [03:40] twb: yeah thats what i want to do. [03:40] I don't know if you mean that or if you just mean something like Windows Terminal Services, where you remote desktop in [03:41] twb: that way i can have a gui when i need it so if i need to look for a clue on how to do something i can google it.:D [03:42] twb, but i have tried to google this but i must be wording it wrong or something cause it takes me clear back the 8.04 way of installing it...and with a gui. [03:43] you can always [03:43] apt-get install gnome-desktop [03:43] sorrell, why run all of that for only needing a gui for like maybe 20 minutes a week? [03:44] the GUI won't run uless you call it up. [03:44] also having a VM won't give you a GUI. [03:45] so if i run a vm i cant use things that use a gui? [03:45] YOU CAN'T RUN A gui ON A SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T HAVE A gui. [03:46] sry for the caps. [03:47] sorrell: i was going to say i can read small print to...lol. but ok thats all i wanted to know thank you. [03:47] twb, the file is compressed as a .gz and I can't find how to uncompress it. [03:47] untar it [03:47] i_is_broke, yeah sorry I had caps lock on and didn't know it. :( [03:48] I'm stupid so how do I do that via the CL? [03:48] sorrell: just tar -xvf file.gz or something like that. [03:48] ty [03:48] oh you have to have build-essentials installed. [03:49] k [03:49] i do know a little about the cli... just not good at doing a few things that im not sure about with it... like some networking. [03:49] sorrell: just run less (or zless) on it [03:50] sorrell: if LESSPIPE is set (which it probably is), less will automatically recognize and decompress .gz documents. [03:50] sweet [03:50] thanks twb [03:51] or things like that...lol [03:51] thats what i would need google for...lol [03:51] ok, thanks and g/bye [03:51] why don't you just SSH into the server? [03:52] then you can use the GUI on your system and still have a GUI less server. [03:52] oh he left.... [03:55] should have said something to him about links too. [04:06] he shouldn't be using the GUI to configure networking anyawy [04:06] that uses networkmanager, which is nothing but trouble on a server [04:07] is that what he was trying to do? [04:08] I honestly have no idea [04:08] he apparently wanted a GUI on his server, and someone mistakenly guided him to install a virtual machine === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ [05:31] New bug: #667597 in openldap (main) "conf.d directory not a configuration directory" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/667597 === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [07:03] Hey guys...

[19:07] hi, q: I have ubuntu 9.04 server install, x64 and it doesn't seem to recognize my dual intel PT nic cards [19:07] atleast I don't see them in /etc/network/interfaces, is there a way to list all installed NIC cards? [19:09] zamarax: ifconfig -a [19:10] oh ok, they are there, I'm assuming that means that they are recognized? [19:11] have you just installed 9.04, or replaced your nics or something? [19:11] replaced the nics [19:12] i remember playing with a version 6 ubuntu and it always had the nics listed under interfaces but just to auto [19:12] zamarax, then you'll probably have to fix your udev rules. I usually just rm /etc/udev/rules.7/70-persistent-net.rules [19:13] you might want to back up the file before deleting it, or just renaming it to something else. [19:13] zamarax: Please think about upgrading from 9.04 to something more recent, as it has reached its End Of Life. [19:14] when you've done that, reboot the server, and I think it should be ok. However, you should really consider upgrading it, as 9.04 is no longer supported. [19:14] understood, that's not an option right now, it's a custom captive portal that just had a nic kick out on it [19:14] so I need to quickly swap [19:14] 10.04 will be supported until april 2015 on the server. [19:15] zamarax, ok. Just rename /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot. That should fix it. [19:19] ok appears to have worked [19:20] thanks alot :-) [19:20] I'll see about upgrading it, but it's going to be something to task for later. [19:20] Hi, May I ask a LTSP related question here ? [19:22] New bug: #666177 in samba (main) "Not able to use Network Printer" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/666177 [19:25] Trixboxer: the general rule is 'don't ask to ask, just ask' [19:27] RoyK: I'm facing small problem while logging in a dumb ltsp terminal, daemon.log on server says nbd-server "Disconnect request received." , my image size is 540 mB and hence I think the nbd server is giving error.. how can I resolve this ? [19:28] Trixboxer: sorry - I don't use ltsp, but I guess there might be others using it [19:28] there's a channel for it as well - #ltsp [19:28] yeah Im in it :) [19:31] ppetraki - acpi is now off [19:32] sheetzam, so cat /proc/cmdline confirms it? [19:32] yes: root=/dev/md2 ro quiet splash acpi=off [19:32] sheetzam, and lscpu should only show one cpu [19:32] correct [19:33] hmm [19:33] sheetzam, ok, try and crash it :) [19:33]
