[00:07] <Mike2k> i want to be able to do gui remote login to ubuntu, can someone point me in the right direction?
[00:09] <geirha> vnc, freenx, x2go, ...
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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!
[00:14] <geirha> Also look into x2go. Again, I haven't tried it, but someone on the loco team spoke warmly of it.
[00:15] <Mike2k> will do!
[00:18] <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.
[00:19] <Mike2k> several users could log into their own accounts on my ubuntu machine and have their own gnome desktops?
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <geirha> It's more like connecting from ubuntu to windows with rdesktop, just the other way around
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <geirha> You too, and good luck. :)
[00:24] <Mike2k> ty!
[12:20] <LemonAid> Where would one place a man page if one were to create one?
[12:22] <coalwater> hm, let me check if i can find
[12:24] <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.
[12:40] <coalwater> LemonAid: you could try #ubuntu-devel
[13:15] <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.
[13:33] <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
[13:36] <SMS> hello
[13:38] <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
[13:41] <LemonAid> Well, how did you end up in that situation in the first place? Did you mess around with loader.conf ?
[13:42] <SMS> no i have no idea of loader.conf
[13:43] <SMS> i had earlier installed nvidia-173 and got into problems
[13:43] <SMS> i had to then go into command line mode
[13:44] <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
[13:45] <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.
[13:46] <coalwater> splash screen
[13:46] <hobgoblin> afternoon
[13:47] <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
[13:48] <SMS> I want the loader at boot time... the one which shows xubuntu loading....
[13:50] <hobgoblin> possibly it's to do with plymouth - I don't have anything either till the login screen - though that suits me
[13:51] <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
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <LemonAid> This is for ubuntu however, i don`t how it differs from xubuntu.
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <hobgoblin> coalwater: pretty sure that's what happened here too - clean install - see splash, update/install nvidia, reboot - no splash
[14:48] <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.
[14:49] <LemonAid> Meaning it will not update when you run "mandb".
[15:10] <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" ?
[17:45] <jay112> hi can anybody help me with a problem i have with lubuntu 11.10
[17:46] <holstein> jay112: mabye... just ask away.. if someone knows they will answer
[17:47] <jay112> how do i put a trash can on the desktop? ive tried various methods in the lxde forum none work
[17:49] <philipballew> jay112, If noone comes on here #lubuntu can help as well
[17:51] <philipballew> he really waited long
[17:55] <Unit193> There's nothing wrong with asking those here...
[18:02] <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)
[18:10] <Unit193> LemonAid: You should be able to use ifdown and ifup for wireless
[18:16] <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 ;)
[18:17] <LemonAid> No. Integrated card.
[18:20] <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 ?
[18:21] <LemonAid> The "at" command thing i figured it out, in case anyone reads above.
[19:47] <Lady_Madonna> Hello.
[19:48] <zkriesse> Hello Lady_Madonna
[19:49] <Lady_Madonna> Hello zkriesse
[20:13] <LemonAid> What takes precedence in chrontab if the day of the month and day of the week do not correspond? Or is the task executed on both days ?
[20:15] <LemonAid> *crontab
