[04:08] <MZIGGA> is this where a nub like me can find out where  to start on my server?
[04:11] <holstein> MZIGGA: sure.. you can try http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ ...ubuntu based, and they run great live for testing
[04:11] <MZIGGA> i have the OS install
[04:12] <MZIGGA> installed*
[04:12] <MZIGGA> now im sittin here looking at the CLI wonderin what now lol
[04:14] <Unit193> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/index.html ?
[04:14] <MZIGGA> yeah
[04:14] <MZIGGA> i know, been reading it for hours
[04:15] <MZIGGA> biggest question is GUI or no GUI
[04:16] <holstein> MZIGGA: if you need a GUI, run one
[04:17] <holstein> i found it helpful when transitioning to a CLI only server
[04:18] <MZIGGA> any gui prefered over all the others
[04:18] <MZIGGA> or they all the same
[04:19] <holstein> MZIGGA: they are not at all "the same" though some are similar, and you can prefer which ever you want
[04:24] <MZIGGA> ok so i tryed to install x11 gui and i still boot to the CLI
[04:25] <holstein> MZIGGA: if its ubuntu, maybe try starting with a default light environment like lubuntu-desktop
[04:27] <MZIGGA> ubuntu 11.10
[04:28] <holstein> MZIGGA: you can also install lubuntu, and use it as a server if you prefer
[04:28] <holstein> OR, install the lubuntu-desktop meta pacakge im suggesting... or xubuntu-desktop
[04:29] <MZIGGA> looking for the command for that
[04:29] <holstein> MZIGGA: sudo apt-get install
[04:30] <MZIGGA> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ???
[04:30] <holstein> MZIGGA: i suggest doing some research, and decide what you need/want and why
[04:30] <MZIGGA> that i do know
[04:31] <holstein> that *will* install the lubuntu-desktop metapackage.. but do you want it? that'll be like as if you have installed lubuntu
[04:31] <MZIGGA> web hosting and files storage and file transfer server
[04:31] <MZIGGA> thats what i want
[04:31] <holstein> MZIGGA: you dont *need* a gui for that
[04:32] <holstein> MZIGGA: you mentioned wanting one, and LXDE is a light one.. you can do all of that from lubuntu, or any *buntu
[04:34] <MZIGGA> understandable
[04:34] <MZIGGA> just not sure how yet
[04:34] <MZIGGA> linux is just really new
[04:34] <MZIGGA> no me that is
[04:35] <holstein> MZIGGA: take it slow.. also, those live CD's i suggested do all of that, and i learned alot obout servers using them
[04:35] <holstein> decide what you need to sever via the web, and set that up.. or try one of the live CD's i suggested with drupal or joomla pre-configured
[04:37] <MZIGGA> thats what im trying to do
[10:54] <smeag0l> Hello everybody
[13:34] <nothingspecial> hi newuser
[13:35] <newuser> hi, I can't get chromium to start in a guest session, any suggestions?
[13:35] <nothingspecial> if you open a terminal in the guest session and type chromium-browser do you get any errors?
[13:35] <newuser> it's installed and set as default browser
[13:36] <newuser> erm... tricky to test as it's on this laptop! lol
[13:36] <nothingspecial> ah
[13:37] <nothingspecial> you can leave and come back
[13:37] <newuser> i'll have a try and see what happens
[13:37] <nothingspecial> also if it is quiet in here you can try #ubuntu
[13:37] <nothingspecial> you get there the same way
[13:37] <nothingspecial>  /j #ubuntu
