| d1rkp1tt | Hi all | 07:34 |
|---|---|---|
| d1rkp1tt | Just trying to get vncserver running on ubuntu 12.10.. my xstartup used to have /usr/bin/gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d & | 07:34 |
| d1rkp1tt | Obviously, this fails miserably on 12.10 | 07:35 |
| d1rkp1tt | Anyone know what session to specify? | 07:35 |
| geirha | d1rkp1tt: Haven't tried 12.10 yet, but grep Exec= /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop might give some clues | 07:48 |
| d1rkp1tt | Thanks | 07:48 |
| d1rkp1tt | geirha, Thats a gem, where did you find that out? | 07:51 |
| d1rkp1tt | Ive managed to get the desktop, but no menu bar | 07:51 |
| geirha | d1rkp1tt: /usr/share/ is the logical place for that type of files | 08:00 |
| d1rkp1tt | Do I reference that location now? | 08:00 |
| geirha | did you see any Exec=gnome-session --session=<something> with that grep-command? | 08:01 |
| d1rkp1tt | yeah | 08:02 |
| d1rkp1tt | Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu | 08:02 |
| d1rkp1tt | But not sure how to use it | 08:02 |
| d1rkp1tt | Something like... | 08:03 |
| d1rkp1tt | /usr/share/ubuntu.desktop/gnome-session --session=ubuntu & | 08:03 |
| geirha | no, just gnome-session --session=ubuntu & | 08:04 |
| d1rkp1tt | Will give that a shot | 08:05 |
| d1rkp1tt | is the path like an environment variable? | 08:05 |
| d1rkp1tt | well that definately shows the desktop background... but nothing more | 08:06 |
| geirha | Hm. Well I'm not familiar with this vncserver and xstartup. If you want a remote desktop, perhaps consider using nx (freenx) or x2go. Should be faster than vnc. | 08:08 |
| d1rkp1tt | havent heard of those | 08:09 |
| d1rkp1tt | are they good? | 08:09 |
| geirha | haven't tried the latter, but I've tried freenx, and that's fairly easy to set up | 08:09 |
| d1rkp1tt | I normally use vnc4server, but I will give that a go | 08:10 |
| geirha | You just install the freenx and openssh-server packages, then on the client you need some nx client, there's nx clients for linux, windows and mac | 08:10 |
| d1rkp1tt | Thanks for taking the time | 08:10 |
| geirha | For linux there's an nx client named qnx or qtnx or something like that | 08:10 |
| geirha | for windows, search for nomachine's nx client | 08:11 |

| r4y | What versions of Ubuntu 10.04 are out? you know something like 10.04.01 or 10.04.1. Also I want to use a flash drive to help my brother install Ubuntu on his computer who has used Ubuntu before and likes it. | 13:10 |
| thelionroars | any reason why you are going for 10.04 and not 12.04? | 13:12 |
| r4y | Oops, right | 13:12 |
| r4y | I am used to using 10.04 | 13:13 |
| blazemore | The point-releases don't really affect you | 13:13 |
| r4y | OK, so here is where I should go: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ | 13:13 |
| blazemore | They just make a new iso to save new installers having to download months worth of updates | 13:13 |
| thelionroars | http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ might be better | 13:13 |
| blazemore | Your system and someone who installed from 10.04.1 should be identical | 13:13 |
| blazemore | Aren't we on Quantal now? | 13:14 |
| thelionroars | 12.10 is also out but I have seen some mixed reports on the forums | 13:14 |
| r4y | I stuck with Ubuntu 10 because I liked being able to have more control over color in appearance, I disabled the gui Unity to test out if I would have more options in appearance but that was about a year ago so | 13:15 |
| r4y | For him though he will want 12 | 13:16 |
| r4y | Do I just stick the iso file on a flash drive?, or is there more to it?, I can't remember but I have installed from a flash drive once without someone else next to me with the exception of irc however | 13:17 |
| blazemore | r4y: Ubuntu comes with a tool to create bootable flash drives | 13:18 |
| blazemore | Or if you're on Windows look at LiLiUSB | 13:18 |
| r4y | OK, right | 13:19 |
| r4y | Great, Thank you all for the help | 13:20 |
| r4y | Is it startup disk creator? | 13:21 |
| r4y | OK, never mind, I Googled it, I thought that was it once I looked | 13:23 |
| r4y | Take care | 13:23 |
| r4y | bye | 13:23 |

| holstein | awesomemike09: im just looking back | 15:24 |
| awesomemike09 | okay | 15:24 |
| awesomemike09 | i have the screen shot 2 | 15:24 |
| holstein | if you can wait patiently for myself or one of the other volunteers | 15:24 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | awesomemike09: could you please create the swap in some other partition and not sda1 ? | 15:24 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Btw, i am M0hi | 15:25 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Heya holstein | 15:25 |
| awesomemike09 | i have already installed ubuntu and various data in it... | 15:25 |
| holstein | IAmNotThatGuy: o/ | 15:25 |
| awesomemike09 | so i m feeling a bit uneasy to format the system again | 15:25 |
| holstein | Sidewinder: you should have your data backed up.. regardless.. all hard drives will fail | 15:25 |
| awesomemike09 | i think so | 15:26 |
| awesomemike09 | i have the screnshot hope u will get some clue | 15:26 |
| awesomemike09 | http://imagebin.org/233754 | 15:26 |
| holstein | Sidewinder: sorry... | 15:26 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: you should have your data backed up.. regardless.. all hard drives will fail | 15:26 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Grrrrr.... Network break while coming out | 15:27 |
| awesomemike09 | i have the data back up but I cant afford to waste time as i have alot of work to do so its very difficult | 15:27 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: i would be working from a live CD.. are you? | 15:27 |
| awesomemike09 | i tried reinstalling the ubuntu 2 times but always failed...swap is never created | 15:28 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: you can always just work without swap | 15:28 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | holstein: are you attending UDS? | 15:28 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | awesomemike09: did you try it in sda1 both the times? | 15:29 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: i might test the hardware then... using the default setup, swap is always created... for my ssd's i have to manually partition to not get swap | 15:29 |
| awesomemike09 | but my system is very slow | 15:29 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: how much ram do you have?.. if you are not out of ram, swap wont speed it up | 15:29 |
| awesomemike09 | 1Gb | 15:29 |
| Sidewinder | holstein, Np; and, as a matter of fact, I do have all/most of my data backed-up. Better to be safe than sorry. ;-) | 15:29 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: i have used 1gb without swap before.. i would look at other reasons why the system might be slow | 15:29 |
| awesomemike09 | can u giv me some ways to speed up system...my win7 was fast than this | 15:30 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: misconfigured installation.. hardware support.. bad hardare.. etc | 15:30 |
| awesomemike09 | i thought ubuntu will b fast but now m trapped.. :9 | 15:30 |
| awesomemike09 | :( | 15:30 |
| awesomemike09 | ok thanx | 15:30 |
| geirha | awesomemike09: You should boot a liveCD to do partition operations, at least when the partition is on the same drive as your root partition | 15:30 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: its not constructive to compart win7.. you can always ask the vendor of your hardware to support linux as well as win7 | 15:30 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: ^^ that is what i was getting at.. making swap with the live CD | 15:31 |
| thelionroars | Some people have mentioned that 12.10 is a lot slower than 12.04 on the forums | 15:31 |
| awesomemike09 | yaa | 15:31 |
| thelionroars | you could be running into the same trouble | 15:31 |
| awesomemike09 | i think soo | 15:31 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | awesomemike09: could you pear try creating swap in some other partitions? By getting into live cd and breaking a partition using gparted? | 15:31 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: i would remove variables and test.. i would get to tty and see how responsive the system is without x | 15:31 |
| holstein | !tty | 15:31 |
| ubot2 | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 15:31 |
| awesomemike09 | i tried that using live cd ..... failed... | 15:32 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: in what way did a live CD fail? it didnt boot? | 15:32 |
| awesomemike09 | no... | 15:32 |
| awesomemike09 | the gparted failed to creat swap | 15:32 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: i would use whatever CD you used to install.. and work with the hard drive | 15:32 |
| awesomemike09 | i used USB | 15:32 |
| awesomemike09 | iso from ubuntu.com | 15:33 |
| awesomemike09 | 12.10 | 15:33 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: doing it from the live CD is the way to go.. i would set that up, and trouble shoot from there.. but, in a bigger picture, i dont think that is the issue | 15:34 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: i would look at how you installed and didnt get swap.. see if something is misconfigured from there | 15:34 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | awesomemike09: question.... Did you try on sda1 both the times? Please answer...u | 15:34 |
| awesomemike09 | no in 1st attempt sda1 then in 2nd sda3 | 15:34 |
| holstein | awesomemike09: the default 12.10 iso from ubuntu.com on USB will give you swap by default.. | 15:34 |
| awesomemike09 | i put it in the last | 15:34 |
| awesomemike09 | but its nto working | 15:35 |
| awesomemike09 | may i ask u smthing?? | 15:35 |
| geirha | awesomemike09: make sure none of the partitions on the drive are in use before you start | 15:35 |
| awesomemike09 | yaa | 15:35 |
| awesomemike09 | i did checked | 15:35 |
| awesomemike09 | i just some ways to make ubuntu 12.10 super fast | 15:36 |
| awesomemike09 | holstein: can u help | 15:37 |
| awesomemike09 | no1 here | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | ???? | 15:39 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | awesomemike09: the error that your log states is that the device is busy | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | yaa | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | it says soo | 15:39 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | That means your partition was mounted | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | so | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | what sould i do | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | now | 15:39 |
| awesomemike09 | ? | 15:39 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Try unmounting that or do it through live cd... But not sda1 if you ask me | 15:41 |
| awesomemike09 | soory.. i dont understand | 15:42 |
| awesomemike09 | is there a way to increase speed of ubuntu 12.10 | 15:44 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Please put a live cd, goto gparted, try to shrink a partition by leaving an un-used space of 2 gb, create the swap using the un-used space | 15:44 |
| awesomemike09 | i haev the free space already | 15:45 |
| awesomemike09 | but using the live cd the gparted is still unable to creat it.. :( | 15:46 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Create the swap in the free space by using the live cd | 15:46 |
| awesomemike09 | but using the live cd the gparted is still unable to creat it | 15:46 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Hmmmm... Something different | 15:47 |
| awesomemike09 | yaaa | 15:47 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | What is the free space left in your disk? | 15:48 |
| awesomemike09 | 3.9 gb...... | 15:51 |
| awesomemike09 | i alloted that much for swap | 15:52 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Try allotting 3 GB | 15:52 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Connection is going to fail. I will be back in 2 minutes | 15:53 |
| awesomemike09 | okk | 15:54 |
| awesomemike09 | nothing | 16:05 |
