=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:40] What remote desktop solution shall I use with Xubuntu 12.04? freenx? neatx? x2go? [01:40] (I want to access my Xubuntu desktop remotely, from Mac OS X and Windows machines). [01:57] I recommend VNC personally. === ruien1 is now known as ruien [02:00] specifically the "tightvncserver" package should work, and then there's TightVNC which works on linux and maybe Mac OS, as well as RealVNC on windows. [02:00] The VNC protocol is decent compared to the X protocol, and it's more secure - but that's what I've heard. I've only actually used VNC, and not the others. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:34] HELP: how to set different wallpapers on different workspaces? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:43] I was wondering what the difference between the "desktop" and "alternate" downloads are, and which one I should get.

[06:26] hi all [06:27] I just upgraded to xfce 8.10 now the system wont boot [06:27] any advise on how to proceede would be appriciated [06:29] lucky86: [4].10 isn't officially supported on any of the current stable releases. Try #ubuntu+1 for help. [06:30] I kinda knew i was stepping in it when i started thanks [07:49] Hi, I'm trying to install xubuntu on a spare Harddisk which is not formatted on a XP computer, Xubuntu install screen sees the sare harddisk and asks to partition a main and make a swap partition but could not finish [07:50] The spare HD has been controlled and in working condition [07:58] do you get any errors? [07:58] the bar mentioning the spare is orange not green, it says no operating system is foound [07:59] that seems odd; the partitioner should never care about that. Are you doing the advanced "partition it myself" option? [07:59] seems like all you need is one partition for / and another smaller one for swap and that's it [08:00] yes I did partition 18 gb for / and 2 gb for swap [08:00] which system should I choose? fat32 or ... [08:01] ext4 [08:01] tried ext4 also... [08:02] any other setting should I make [08:03] ext3? [08:03] in any case you only want ext3 or ext4 [08:04] thanks, I'll try once more and if cannot finish, will come back for more advice from you guys, cheers. [08:04] you can also use gparted [08:04] i.e. boot from the ubuntu disk / usb drive [08:04] then use gparted if you want to partition stuff manually [08:04] yes? [08:04] I really like gparted, personally. [08:05] I ll have a look at gparted... thanks [08:05] good luck [10:03] hello who can help? [10:03] !hello [10:04] !hi [10:04] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!
