[00:07] i want to be able to do gui remote login to ubuntu, can someone point me in the right direction? [00:09] vnc, freenx, x2go, ... [00:10] Depends a bit on your needs [00:10] what i have tried so far ... [00:10] set up x11 server on my windows machine with xming [00:11] used ssh to log into ubuntu machine [00:11] the gnome-session to get desktop [00:11] using x tunneling [00:11] it sort of works [00:11] NX should be more efficient. [00:11] I've heard x2go is even better, but I haven't tried the latter myself [00:12] seems very unstable in opening new windows etc [00:12] also tried kde desktop, similar results [00:12] would like to somehow get a login screen on the windows pc that will take me right to gui desktop [00:13] need to support a couple different accounts this way [00:13] Install freenx-server on the Ubuntu machine, and install an NX-client on the windows machine. [00:13] making notes on that, thanks! [00:14] Also look into x2go. Again, I haven't tried it, but someone on the loco team spoke warmly of it. [00:15] will do! [00:18] 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. [00:19] several users could log into their own accounts on my ubuntu machine and have their own gnome desktops? [00:20] Or, well, doesn't have to be gnome. [00:20] Mike2k: Yes. [00:20] kde or what ever [00:20] i am not looking for something like teamview that i use with windows for remote desktop access/sahring [00:21] I have no experience with teamview [00:21] looking more to replicate the functionality of the machine local display keyboard over the internet [00:22] It's more like connecting from ubuntu to windows with rdesktop, just the other way around [00:23] i'll try to get freenx set up and see what it does [00:23] thanks for the help [00:23] have a good day [00:24] You too, and good luck. :) [00:24] ty! === zkriesse is now known as zkriesse_away === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:20] Where would one place a man page if one were to create one? [12:22] hm, let me check if i can find [12:24] "manpath" gives some paths, but i am unsure.. [12:24] LemonAid: check /etc/manpath.config , might be helpful [12:24] Hmm.. i`ll check it out. === MavJS_ is now known as MavJS [12:40] LemonAid: you could try #ubuntu-devel [13:15] 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. [13:33] 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 [13:36] hello [13:38] 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] hi [13:41] Well, how did you end up in that situation in the first place? Did you mess around with loader.conf ? [13:42] no i have no idea of loader.conf [13:43] i had earlier installed nvidia-173 and got into problems [13:43] i had to then go into command line mode [13:44] 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] dont know if this caused any problem [13:45] thanks for responding lemonaid :) [13:45] can you please help with this issue? [13:45] Hmm.. i`ll look into it, but i`m no expert. Some people in #ubuntu however, are. Try asking them as well. [13:46] splash screen [13:46] afternoon [13:47] @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 [13:48] I want the loader at boot time... the one which shows xubuntu loading.... [13:50] possibly it's to do with plymouth - I don't have anything either till the login screen - though that suits me [13:51] aah yes - unless it does it's fsck business - which slows the boot down some - perhaps it is just that [13:51] i found a post on some page that said to try sudo plymouth --show-splash, but it didnt do any thing to me [13:56] 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 [13:57] This is for ubuntu however, i don`t how it differs from xubuntu. [13:58] 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 [13:59] coalwater: pretty sure that's what happened here too - clean install - see splash, update/install nvidia, reboot - no splash [14:48] 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. [14:49] Meaning it will not update when you run "mandb". [15:10] 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" ? [17:45] hi can anybody help me with a problem i have with lubuntu 11.10 [17:46] jay112: mabye... just ask away.. if someone knows they will answer [17:47] how do i put a trash can on the desktop? ive tried various methods in the lxde forum none work [17:49] jay112, If noone comes on here #lubuntu can help as well [17:51] he really waited long [17:55] There's nothing wrong with asking those here... [18:02] 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) === zkriesse_away is now known as zkriesse [18:10] LemonAid: You should be able to use ifdown and ifup for wireless [18:16] 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] You don't happen to be using a USB card are you? [18:16] ill take a stab and suggest trying the other broadcom driver ;) [18:17] No. Integrated card. [18:20] 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 ? [18:21] The "at" command thing i figured it out, in case anyone reads above. === pedro3005 is now known as pedro892 [19:47] Hello.
