wormmdAnyone have a reliable method to access a Lubuntu box remotely via Windows RDC?02:09
wormmdOr any way, really.02:10
Unit193Do you need GUi?02:10
wormmdUnit193: yes.02:10
Unit193!vnc02:10
ubottuVNC 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 !FreeNX02:10
wormmdTried xrdp and NX, both with issues.02:10
wormmdVNC brings its own issues: I usually access my box from a machine with a lower native resolution, making navigating even the screen difficult.02:11
Unit193Scale the image, and those are going to be your best options really.02:12
Unit193VNC works quite well too.02:12
wormmdbrb, changing a diaper :)02:12
wormmdIf I scale I lose some screen real estate locally because the resolution ratios are different, but that may be something I have to deal with.02:16
wormmdI got an error with NX before: Xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session" X session === "gnome-session not found; falling back to default session.02:16
wormmdAfter which the NX client quit.02:17
wormmdThoughts?02:17
Unit193I normally just use SSH, but if it's a single window you need, you can use ssh with X forwarding.02:17
wormmdI could deal with a single window.02:17
wormmdBoth would be nice, but single would be fine.02:17
Unit193And it's been a while since I last poked at NX, but it should have session selection.02:17
Unit193Lookup Xming02:17
Unit193And now I'll be afk a bit.02:18
wormmdThanks for the help :)02:18
wormmdNow that you mention it, I did just use an NX shortcut on the local machine that was probably for an old configuration on the remote machine, I'll have to check that tommorow.02:19

windbuntufrom a turned off computer?21:23
holsteinwindbuntu: depends21:25
holsteinwindbuntu: i would choose lubuntu for LXDE.. for something light, but not too light if you know what i mean21:25
AngelForgetI trying to fully quantal Quetzal Ubuntu 12.10 and gives me a good impression even if else is still much work21:26
holsteinwindbuntu: for fast boot, i would just not reboot..21:26
holsteinjust suspend or leave it running21:26
dove_gwindbuntu: about 20-30 sek21:27
dove_gfor ubuntu: 30-40 sek21:27
windbuntui may attempt to create a machine that has similar charicteristics to a chromebook...but use lubuntu instead.21:27
dove_gif you have SSD then you get for sure cca 10sec21:27
dove_gjust buy SSD21:27
windbuntuwhat about lubuntu on a flash drive21:27
AngelForgetssd is  more fast21:28
dove_gbuy SSD21:28
MrChrisDruifAngelForget; 12.10 will practically only be updated kernel and updated core packages from 12.0421:28
dove_gabout 100$21:28
AngelForgetyes MrChrisDruif21:28
windbuntua hundred bucks is a lotta dough21:28
MrChrisDruifHmm, dough ^_^21:28
windbuntui have an empty 8 gig flash drive21:29
windbuntuthat is staring at me21:29
AngelForgetMrChrisDruif,  but still is not very stable as Lubuntu 12:0421:29
MrChrisDruifAngelForget; that's to be expected from a pre-alpha release21:30
windbuntuare you saying 12.10 is out already?21:31
MrChrisDruifwindbuntu; PRE-ALPHA!!21:32
windbuntuomg 12.04 is just out21:32
MrChrisDruifwindbuntu; we start working on the next release right after the previous...we've only got about 5 months21:33
AngelForgetMrChrisDruif, this is the fact I'm testing, but some packages are completely new21:33
gordonjcp12.10 is "out" but it's still basically on fire21:33
gordonjcpaw man, spamassassin, why are you not learning from this spam corpus?21:34
AngelForgetgordonjcp, is true21:35
gordonjcpI'm awfully tempted just to write some naive pattern matching21:35
gordonjcpanything that mentions "prescriptions" and has a dollar sign in it, 100% spam21:35
MrChrisDruifBut to conclude, 12.04 is the current release for 6 more month, after that (20)12.10(October) will be the new release21:36
gordonjcpthe spammers are going apeshit at the moment with "FLOWERS FOR MOM! BUY NOW FOR MOTHERS DAY"21:36
gordonjcpwtf, mother's day was months ago21:36
holsteinthe 13th21:36
holsteinit was 11 months ago ;)21:36
gordonjcpif I buy them now they'll be all wilted by the time it rolls around again21:36
gordonjcpthat's a stupid idea21:36
windbuntui do not see all this mothers day stuff? where is it?21:37
holsteinregardless... dont forget mom... 4 more days!21:39
AngelForgetlol21:40
gordonjcpholstein: four more days until...?21:50
holsteingordonjcp: mothers day21:50
gordonjcpwindbuntu: I'm getting insane amounts of spam at the moment, spamassassin *is* looking at it but not classifying it21:50
gordonjcpholstein: that was two months ago21:50
holsteingordonjcp: i dont think so21:51
holsteingordonjcp: may 13th21:51
gordonjcpnope, it was in march21:51
gordonjcpI even took a long weekend so I could travel up to visit my mum21:51
gordonjcpand not have to rush off at sunday teatime21:51
holsteingordonjcp: cool.. in the US, its may 13th21:52
holsteingordonjcp: thats why im saying its coming up, and explains the spam21:52
Unit193May want #ubuntu-offtopic.21:52

HoNgOuRuhow do I remove all different sound systems and their configuration files?22:42
holsteinHoNgOuRu: what systems? JACK? pulse?22:44
HoNgOuRuI removed alsa-common alsa pulse esound etc...22:45
HoNgOuRujust wanna get rid of everything to install only pulse or whatever that handles right the 5.122:45
holsteinHoNgOuRu: pulse uses alsa AFAIK22:45
holsteinHoNgOuRu: how about this.. what are you trying to do?22:46
HoNgOuRujust play the 5.1 right.22:46
HoNgOuRuI config something last time that enabled me the 5.1 but just for the first song after starting the service22:47
holsteinHoNgOuRu: sometimes that just cant happen... you can try newer alsa revs, or different kernels.. i usually try that with live CD's22:47
HoNgOuRuthe second one only played in the front spks22:47
HoNgOuRu... I have 2 soundcards22:47
HoNgOuRuone onboard, and the other one is a audigy sound blaster22:48
HoNgOuRuIm really pissed off on how it is so hard to get a stable configuration22:48
HoNgOuRufrom ubuntu 7.04 to now22:48
HoNgOuRu12.0422:48
holsteinHoNgOuRu: yeah. i sucks.. you should be sure to complain to the hardware vendor22:49
holsteinHoNgOuRu: i usually try live CD"s.. i would also look at pulse with pavucontrol.. and consider going down to only one card22:49
HoNgOuRuI have headphones attached to the front panel of my box, that's the onboard one. but 5.1 plugged to the second soundcard22:50
HoNgOuRuIm following a guide over here, I'll tell you after robooting22:54
