[09:30] try updates first, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:31] reboot after that [09:34] ah its you again okay [09:34] i just connected with a 10 meter lan cable to my real router [09:34] works fine [09:55] Sysi: what is gdm anyways? [09:56] medeman, gnome display manager [09:56] ah okay [10:12] Sysi: im interested what machines / OSes you use. Can you tell me? [10:13] knome: or could you tell me your setup? [10:14] couple of laptops and desktop, xubuntu, fedora and sometimes arch, win7 hardly [10:14] haha okay [10:15] well, i have a macbook pro and a pc (the xubuntu), and a powermac g3 + 2 other older pcs [10:15] the powermacs power supply is dead [10:16] i was thinking about buying a new one, but the whole machine is cheaper then a power supply [10:16] however, if it would run, would debian run on it? [10:16] i think there is a powerpc version [10:17] but maybe the mac is too old? [10:17] i dunno [10:17] g3 isn't very powerful but it might work with light desktop or as server [10:18] maybe a little home server? with php and mysql? [10:18] and apache? === brot_ is now known as brot [10:18] how much ram [10:18] i need a mini local webserver for some testing and that [10:18] uhmm [10:18] i think 512mb [10:18] i cant look, i cant turn it on atm [10:18] power supply dead [10:19] should run webserver nicely, maybe with desktop [10:19] okay [10:23] huh, i dont get it, i installed ubuntu server before [10:23] now overwrote that with xubuntu [10:23] but it still says ubuntu server [10:24] Sysi: any idea? [10:24] where it says it? [10:24] when i boot from hard drive [10:24] it has the xubuntu boot logo [10:24] then goes into a terminal [10:25] saying ubuntu 10.10 server [10:46] Sysi: by the way do you know where i can get debian 2.2 diskette images (with gui and that)? i have a really old laptop here... [10:47] on the debian ftp server i just found other debian 2.2 stuff [10:50] does even debian support that old stuff [10:52] huh? [10:53] newest debian stable is 6.0 [10:53] yes [10:53] but the cd drive of the laptop died [10:54] well, it only works sometimes the drive [10:54] maybe it works now [11:44] Can someone help me set up network bonding? I installed ifenslave and now i'm in front of /etc/network/interfaces - and lost... [11:51] hey Sysi now it says xubuntu and i press ctrl alt f1 [11:52] Sysi: it freezes in the terminal [11:52] even when i use sudo service gdm stop [11:52] did you try nomodeset? [11:52] where can i do this? [11:53] hold shift when booting, should get to grub menu [11:53] ok [11:53] press e to edit and add it after "quiet splash" [11:54] i hold down shift but the xubuntu logo appears and boots [11:54] too late/too early [11:55] ah there we go [11:55] now e... [11:55] now the row looks like this: [11:56] 9a6-55d43781d0ff ro quiet splash nomodeset [11:56] now what? how do i save? [11:57] try just booting with it [11:57] ctrl+x? [11:57] iirciirc [11:58] whops [11:58] Sysi, which bird does a sound like 'iirciirc' ? [11:58] lol [11:58] so i boot with ctrl+x, then do i still use ctrl+alt+f1 and sudo service gdm stop? [11:58] no, see if it works [11:58] k [11:59] knome: i can't remember the name but they're quite common here [11:59] i saw a ubuntu splash screen and now low-res desktop [11:59] should i log in? [11:59] try if it crashes [11:59] Sysi, seagulls? ;) [12:00] yes it freezes [12:01] =( [12:01] just no dice i guess [12:02] try acpi=off to boot options [12:03] so nomodeset acpi=off? [12:04] nomodeset didn't help [12:04] so only acpi=off? [12:04] try [12:05] ok [12:05] now the desktop is native resolution again [12:06] i logged in [12:06] nomodeset kinda breaks driver, but helps in some cases [12:06] oh [12:06] and for the first time [12:06] it tells me that there are restricted drivers available [12:06] but now it froze again [12:06] does cursor move? [12:06] no [12:07] not even the numkey light lights up [12:07] i gotta give up if, you have tried with different ubuntu version and same happens [12:08] yes [12:08] this computer is so weird [12:08] oh [12:08] one other thing is weird [12:08] either it's broken or very weird [12:09] i booted mandriva from a live cd a few days ago [12:09] and it worked [12:09] showed the nvidia logo as kinda splashscreen [12:09] but then i installed it [12:09] and it doesnt work [12:09] freezes at black screen with cursor [12:11] Sysi: any idea about that? [12:12] not really [12:12] oh okay =( [12:12] thanks for your time and help then [12:12] np [12:13] medeman, probably best to ask mandriva folks why the live cd worked but installation didn't [12:13] the installation worked, but the start didnt [12:13] from the hd [12:14] medeman, yes - ask the mandriva people if they have ideas why that happened [12:14] okay [12:14] ty [12:14] np === jake__ is now known as jblz [12:47] Hi all... anyone able to assist with getting a remote desktop happening from a windows machine to xubuntu on a local network? [12:53] Maizey: set up rdp or vnc server on windows and use remmina (remote desktop client in menu) [12:54] you need to check ip of windows machine, idk how to do that [12:56] i tried with vnc4server on xubuntu and tightvnc viewer on xp... prity sure i had it configured correct but couldnt get a connection... just kept saying connection failed.... [12:57] oh, xubuntu as server [12:57] yeah [12:58] check you don't have firewall set up and ip is right, ifconfig in terminal tells the ip [12:58] you can try vino also [12:59] its a local server so wouldnt think firewall would effect it would it?? and ip was correct. Been at it for the last 2 hours and read that many posts my eyes hurt :-/ [12:59] depends on firewall setup [13:08] uh getting closer... its asking a password now but not accepting the one i setup earlier :-/ at least its a step closer [13:14] that got it... thanks for the ehlp sysi :-) [13:15] np === IdleOne is now known as OneiricOne === OneiricOne is now known as IdleOne [16:59] how do i enable my wifi [17:13] !wireless [17:13] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === jwkokc is now known as jk_ === beefsala1 is now known as beefsalad === michael_ is now known as xGrind [21:54] I want to remotely control my other Xubuntu computer... how can i do that? I set up tightvnc (well... i installed it and started it) - but all i get is control over a new desktop - i want to control the one already there... [21:56] like realVNC [22:04] !vnc [22:04] 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 [22:08] charlie-tca, i need to control the environment on the other machine... use my laptop as a remote for the other pc... [22:09] i'm using the other one as entertainment solution for my living room - and i don't want to leave the couch to cahnge channels, volume, movie, ... [22:10] so, setting up the vnc-server failed on that remote computer? [22:11] well, everything works - but what i see on the viewer here is not the desktop my other pc projects to the living room screen... [22:12] i get a new desktop environment with nothing but xterm on top of it [22:13] i am shure that i am connected to the right machine - running htop lists all that is running there - and killing processes lets them disappear on the target machine. i have access - but not the right kind of access... [22:33] hey ya'll. which packages are needed for wireless? [22:34] !wireless [22:34] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:34] bhe: #ubuntu-beginners are good at getting wireless working, too. [22:35] no, i did min install, just needed "sudo apt-get install gnome-network-admin" [22:35] sorry to bother [22:36] no problem
