| willwh | hey guys | 03:34 |
|---|---|---|
| willwh | :) | 03:34 |
| ball | Mornin' | 03:35 |
| willwh | anyone know anything about remote gdm login? | 03:36 |
| willwh | I use an ssh tunnel for vnc | 03:36 |
| willwh | but | 03:36 |
| willwh | if I don't log a session in first - kinda stuck | 03:37 |
| ball | I tunnel VNC through ssh too. | 03:37 |
| ball | I still don't really undestand "sessions" in X. | 03:37 |
| willwh | http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GDM_XDMCP.html | 03:37 |
| willwh | there's that, but it seems a little old | 03:38 |
| willwh | vi /etc/rc.local | 03:38 |
| willwh | wups :D | 03:38 |
| willwh | 2 many shells open >.> | 03:38 |
| willwh | too* | 03:39 |
| dscassel | willwh: Have a look at NX. http://kwlug.org/node/713 | 03:42 |
| willwh | dscassel: I don't want to do that | 03:43 |
| willwh | :) | 03:43 |
| willwh | really - there is no way to allow remote gdm login? I don't believe that :) | 03:43 |
| willwh | going to test this out | 03:43 |
| willwh | ball: will let you know how I get on | 03:43 |
| willwh | dscassel: thank you for the suggestion though :) | 03:43 |
| dscassel | Yeah, XDMCP, but it's kind of clunky. | 03:43 |
| willwh | just firing up gdm at run level 2 | 03:44 |
| willwh | looks like it may do the trick | 03:44 |
| ball | willwh: What are you trying to achieve? | 03:47 |
| willwh | being able to remote login to a GUI, without having logged a gdm session in to the remote box | 03:47 |
| willwh | shell is all good 90% of the time, but I have a fairly nice eclipse setup now | 03:48 |
| willwh | vim is good for quick stuff | 03:48 |
| willwh | but not debugging / etc :) | 03:48 |
| ball | willwh: Do you want to connect to the (graphical) console, or a virtual desktop? | 03:48 |
| willwh | log in to the desktop | 03:48 |
| ball | The same desktop you would see if you were sitting at the keyboard? | 03:49 |
| willwh | yes indeed | 03:49 |
| ball | Doesn't Ubuntu support that out of the box? | 03:49 |
| willwh | not | 03:49 |
| willwh | no* | 03:49 |
| ball | I thought it shipped with a VNC server | 03:50 |
| willwh | it does | 03:50 |
| willwh | but you can't log in without an active session prior | 03:50 |
| ball | I wonder if I filed that as a bug. | 03:50 |
| * ball ponders | 03:51 | |
| ball | http://potchery.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to 2008-12-19 | 03:52 |
| ball | Ah, looks like that was my standard virtual desktop configuration. | 03:53 |
| ball | ...so not the console | 03:53 |
| ball | (has the advantage of supporting multiple concurrent users) | 03:53 |
| ball | hello billybigrigger | 03:57 |
| * ball wanders off to check on fork | 04:00 | |
| doug1 | willwh said | 14:19 |
| doug1 | it does but you can't log in without an active session prior 22:50 | 14:19 |
| doug1 | I would like to know how to do this | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 15:15 |
| billybigrigger | :P | 15:16 |
| billybigrigger | still not much happening here :P | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | nope :) | 15:17 |
| dscassel | Sad, really. | 15:18 |
| billybigrigger | yup | 15:19 |
| billybigrigger | 30 people you'd think there would always be something going on in here | 15:19 |
| dscassel | Might I make a humble suggestion? | 15:20 |
| billybigrigger | well i'm going to the kitchen and grabbing a coffee and standing outside in -30 for a cig :P | 15:20 |
| billybigrigger | dscassel, what's that? | 15:20 |
| dscassel | Say someone comes in the room and goes "Howdy," hypothetically. | 15:21 |
| dscassel | The best way to then start a conversation is probably not to immediately say "Nothing ever happens here, so why bother?" | 15:21 |
| dscassel | Just sayin. :) | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | I'm debating whether to install ubuntu-server or not ...I basically just need amdia server , but I mhavent found anything that suits me , they're either too complex and clunky or minimal with few oprions | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | media server | 15:22 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: Yeah, I haven't really had much luck in that arena. | 15:22 |
| dscassel | Mostly, I just set up a samba share on my main machine and leave it at that. | 15:23 |
| billybigrigger | amdia, never heard of it | 15:23 |
| billybigrigger | dscassel, if it wasn't for me, BluesKaj probably would still be idleing away in +1 :P | 15:24 |
| billybigrigger | so he wouldn't even have joined, he knew the situation in -ca already | 15:24 |
| billybigrigger | i don't great everyone who comes in the door the same way... BluesKaj is just special :P | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | I'm using kubuntu natty and I just store movies and music etc on it ...it's connected to our tv with dvi/hdmi and coaxaudio to the HT receiver ...works well enuff | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | billybigrigger, hehe | 15:25 |
| dscassel | billybigrigger: Ah, didn't know you guys knew each other. | 15:25 |
| billybigrigger | i just know him from here and +1 | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, oh yeah , we go back a few yrs , just haven't chatted on a while | 15:26 |
| billybigrigger | ok, cig and coffe time, bbiab | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | in awhile, ....this damm KB ! | 15:26 |
| billybigrigger | dscassel, i'm surprised you don't remember the name, he used to hang here all the time | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | coffee ..brb | 15:27 |
| dscassel | billybigrigger: Yeah, I remember the name, just not the relationship (if I ever knew). | 15:27 |
| dscassel | I'm kind of bad with handles. | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , my memory is aging too , like the rest of me :P | 15:28 |
| billybigrigger | any of you guys listened to Matt Andersen? | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | who may I ask is Matt Anderson? | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | er sen | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | my mother's maiden name btw , with the same danish spelling :) | 15:35 |
| billybigrigger | andersen | 15:37 |
| billybigrigger | he's a canadian musician | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | yeah a blues dude , I recall seeing him on strombo a while back | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | i think it was strombo , anyway | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | hi zul | 15:50 |
| zul | hi | 15:52 |
| * BluesKaj tries to keep a converstion string/thread going , but seems difficult . PPL use autojoin but don't bother to participate seems rather a useless exercise to me | 15:53 | |
| dscassel | Yay, meetings! 2 down this morning, one more to go. | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | heh, meetings ..always found most of them a waste of time | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | bbl | 16:00 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: Definitely. | 16:18 |
