| Mike2k | i want to be able to do gui remote login to ubuntu, can someone point me in the right direction? | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| geirha | vnc, freenx, x2go, ... | 00:09 |
| geirha | Depends a bit on your needs | 00:10 |
| Mike2k | what i have tried so far ... | 00:10 |
| Mike2k | set up x11 server on my windows machine with xming | 00:10 |
| Mike2k | used ssh to log into ubuntu machine | 00:11 |
| Mike2k | the gnome-session to get desktop | 00:11 |
| Mike2k | using x tunneling | 00:11 |
| Mike2k | it sort of works | 00:11 |
| geirha | NX should be more efficient. | 00:11 |
| geirha | I've heard x2go is even better, but I haven't tried the latter myself | 00:11 |
| Mike2k | seems very unstable in opening new windows etc | 00:12 |
| Mike2k | also tried kde desktop, similar results | 00:12 |
| Mike2k | would like to somehow get a login screen on the windows pc that will take me right to gui desktop | 00:12 |
| Mike2k | need to support a couple different accounts this way | 00:13 |
| geirha | Install freenx-server on the Ubuntu machine, and install an NX-client on the windows machine. | 00:13 |
| Mike2k | making notes on that, thanks! | 00:13 |
| geirha | Also look into x2go. Again, I haven't tried it, but someone on the loco team spoke warmly of it. | 00:14 |
| Mike2k | will do! | 00:15 |
| geirha | With NX, it basicly connects with ssh and runs a gnome-session, but adding compression and some other magic to make it more efficient and responsive. | 00:18 |
| Mike2k | several users could log into their own accounts on my ubuntu machine and have their own gnome desktops? | 00:19 |
| geirha | Or, well, doesn't have to be gnome. | 00:20 |
| geirha | Mike2k: Yes. | 00:20 |
| Mike2k | kde or what ever | 00:20 |
| Mike2k | i am not looking for something like teamview that i use with windows for remote desktop access/sahring | 00:20 |
| geirha | I have no experience with teamview | 00:21 |
| Mike2k | looking more to replicate the functionality of the machine local display keyboard over the internet | 00:21 |
| geirha | It's more like connecting from ubuntu to windows with rdesktop, just the other way around | 00:22 |
| Mike2k | i'll try to get freenx set up and see what it does | 00:23 |
| Mike2k | thanks for the help | 00:23 |
| Mike2k | have a good day | 00:23 |
| geirha | You too, and good luck. :) | 00:24 |
| Mike2k | ty! | 00:24 |

| LemonAid | Where would one place a man page if one were to create one? | 12:20 |
| coalwater | hm, let me check if i can find | 12:22 |
| LemonAid | "manpath" gives some paths, but i am unsure.. | 12:24 |
| coalwater | LemonAid: check /etc/manpath.config , might be helpful | 12:24 |
| LemonAid | Hmm.. i`ll check it out. | 12:24 |

| coalwater | LemonAid: you could try #ubuntu-devel | 12:40 |
| LemonAid | coalwater, thank you, but i think placing the man page in the /usr/local/share/man might do the trick. I`ll see once i`m done writing it. | 13:15 |
| SMS | Hi can any one please help me with this problem of mine , i am using xubuntu 11.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1893399 | 13:33 |

| SMS | Hi can any one please help me with this problem of mine , i am using xubuntu 11.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1893399 | 13:38 |
| SMS | hi | 13:38 |
| LemonAid | Well, how did you end up in that situation in the first place? Did you mess around with loader.conf ? | 13:41 |
| SMS | no i have no idea of loader.conf | 13:42 |
| SMS | i had earlier installed nvidia-173 and got into problems | 13:43 |
| SMS | i had to then go into command line mode | 13:43 |
| SMS | as Xserver was not booting up. .. and deleted Xorg.conf/// later i started startx and finally got my xserver back..that is the only problem i have had since xubuntu installation | 13:44 |
| SMS | dont know if this caused any problem | 13:44 |
| SMS | thanks for responding lemonaid :) | 13:45 |
| SMS | can you please help with this issue? | 13:45 |
| LemonAid | Hmm.. i`ll look into it, but i`m no expert. Some people in #ubuntu however, are. Try asking them as well. | 13:45 |
| coalwater | splash screen | 13:46 |
| hobgoblin | afternoon | 13:46 |
| SMS | @coalwater are splash and splash screen same in xubuntu??? I enabled splash in Settings -- > Settings Manager --> Session and startup and enabled splsh but that starts after i login | 13:47 |
| SMS | I want the loader at boot time... the one which shows xubuntu loading.... | 13:48 |
| hobgoblin | possibly it's to do with plymouth - I don't have anything either till the login screen - though that suits me | 13:50 |
| hobgoblin | aah yes - unless it does it's fsck business - which slows the boot down some - perhaps it is just that | 13:51 |
| coalwater | i found a post on some page that said to try sudo plymouth --show-splash, but it didnt do any thing to me | 13:51 |
| LemonAid | Some other people reported somewhat similar issues after installing nvidia/ati drivers. Someone came up with a script and a fix(or so they claim) -> initial post so you might get some context (first answer) http://askubuntu.com/questions/45926/splash-screen-doesnt-show-on-boot , and link to the fix http://kyleabaker.com/#search=plymouth | 13:56 |
| LemonAid | This is for ubuntu however, i don`t how it differs from xubuntu. | 13:57 |
| coalwater | and yea , sometimes my nvidia drivers break the splash screen, i don't usually care, there are some plymouth manager that could fix it i think, you just need to look around a bit if it really matters for you | 13:58 |
| hobgoblin | coalwater: pretty sure that's what happened here too - clean install - see splash, update/install nvidia, reboot - no splash | 13:59 |
| LemonAid | coalwater, i finally found where the man pages should be placed -> usr/share/man/manN/ N stands for the section number. If you place them in /usr/local/share/man, for some reason "mandb" will not update to include the newly man page. | 14:48 |
| LemonAid | Meaning it will not update when you run "mandb". | 14:49 |
| LemonAid | How do you restart only the wireless interface? And if that`s not possible is there any other option aside from "/etc/init.d/networking restart" ? | 15:10 |
| jay112 | hi can anybody help me with a problem i have with lubuntu 11.10 | 17:45 |
| holstein | jay112: mabye... just ask away.. if someone knows they will answer | 17:46 |
| jay112 | how do i put a trash can on the desktop? ive tried various methods in the lxde forum none work | 17:47 |
| philipballew | jay112, If noone comes on here #lubuntu can help as well | 17:49 |
| philipballew | he really waited long | 17:51 |
| Unit193 | There's nothing wrong with asking those here... | 17:55 |
| LemonAid | 1) How do you restart only the wireless interface? And if that`s not possible is there any other option aside from "/etc/init.d/networking restart" ? 2) I tried to schedule mplayer to start using "at". Does not seem to work. How exactly do you do that? Should i make a .sh and consider the name of the script as the task to be run? (i did read the man) | 18:02 |
| === zkriesse_away is now known as zkriesse | ||
| Unit193 | LemonAid: You should be able to use ifdown and ifup for wireless | 18:10 |
| LemonAid | Unit193, the problem is as follows: >sometimes< my wireless drops, and reconnects right away. The cycle is repeated until i restart the system. Now if i do ifdown/up, it does the trick BUT, on rare occasions the wireless interface will not.. up. And the network manager won`t even recognize i have wireless capabilities. | 18:16 |
| Unit193 | You don't happen to be using a USB card are you? | 18:16 |
| holstein | ill take a stab and suggest trying the other broadcom driver ;) | 18:16 |
| LemonAid | No. Integrated card. | 18:17 |
| LemonAid | Problem is i don`t know of any other one. But i will look into it. Assuming the problem is not the driver though, any ideas ? | 18:20 |
| LemonAid | The "at" command thing i figured it out, in case anyone reads above. | 18:21 |
