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