[07:34] <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 &
[07:35] <d1rkp1tt> Obviously, this fails miserably on 12.10
[07:35] <d1rkp1tt> Anyone know what session to specify?
[07:48] <geirha> d1rkp1tt: Haven't tried 12.10 yet, but    grep Exec= /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop   might give some clues
[07:48] <d1rkp1tt> Thanks
[07:51] <d1rkp1tt> geirha, Thats a gem, where did you find that out?
[07:51] <d1rkp1tt> Ive managed to get the desktop, but no menu bar
[08:00] <geirha> d1rkp1tt: /usr/share/ is the logical place for that type of files
[08:00] <d1rkp1tt> Do I reference that location now?
[08:01] <geirha> did you see any Exec=gnome-session --session=<something> with that grep-command?
[08:02] <d1rkp1tt> yeah
[08:02] <d1rkp1tt> Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu
[08:02] <d1rkp1tt> But not sure how to use it
[08:03] <d1rkp1tt> Something like...
[08:03] <d1rkp1tt> /usr/share/ubuntu.desktop/gnome-session --session=ubuntu &
[08:04] <geirha> no, just   gnome-session --session=ubuntu &
[08:05] <d1rkp1tt> Will give that a shot
[08:05] <d1rkp1tt> is the path like an environment variable?
[08:06] <d1rkp1tt> well that definately shows the desktop background... but nothing more
[08:08] <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.
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <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
[08:11] <geirha> for windows, search for nomachine's nx client
[09:48] <philballew> no problem jorge
[09:48] <philballew> ohhh......
[10:06] <M0hi> Huh?
[10:07] <philballew> M0hi, wrong channel on my part
[10:08] <M0hi> Okies
[11:33] <Fr0zenCod3r> Hello everyone
[11:35] <Fr0zenCod3r> Can anybody help me ?
[11:35] <blazemore> Hello Fr0zenCod3r
[11:35] <Fr0zenCod3r> i need to make this
[11:35] <Fr0zenCod3r> IP-Balancing: Join online channels in one
[11:35] <blazemore> Maybe, why don't you ask and find out? ;)
[11:36] <Fr0zenCod3r> any ideas?
[11:37] <Fr0zenCod3r> blazemore,  ?? )
[11:38] <blazemore> I don't really know what you're asking sorry
[13:10] <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.
[13:12] <thelionroars> any reason why you are going for 10.04 and not 12.04?
[13:12] <r4y> Oops, right
[13:13] <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
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <r4y> For him though he will want 12
[13:17] <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
[13:18] <blazemore> r4y: Ubuntu comes with a tool to create bootable flash drives
[13:18] <blazemore> Or if you're on Windows look at LiLiUSB
[13:19] <r4y> OK, right
[13:20] <r4y> Great, Thank you all for the help
[13:21] <r4y> Is it startup disk creator?
[13:23] <r4y> OK, never mind, I Googled it, I thought that was it once I looked
[13:23] <r4y> Take care
[13:23] <r4y> bye

[15:24] <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 ?
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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?
[15:28] <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?
[15:29] <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
[15:30] <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
[15:31] <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
[15:32] <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
[15:33] <awesomemike09> iso from ubuntu.com
[15:33] <awesomemike09> 12.10
[15:34] <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
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <awesomemike09> i  just some ways   to make ubuntu 12.10 super fast
[15:37] <awesomemike09> holstein: can u help
[15:39] <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> ?
[15:41] <IAmNotThatGuy> Try unmounting that or do it through live cd... But not sda1 if you ask me
[15:42] <awesomemike09> soory.. i dont understand
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <awesomemike09> i haev the free space already
[15:46] <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
[15:47] <IAmNotThatGuy> Hmmmm... Something different
[15:47] <awesomemike09> yaaa
[15:48] <IAmNotThatGuy> What is the free space left in your disk?
[15:51] <awesomemike09> 3.9  gb......
[15:52] <awesomemike09> i alloted that much for swap
[15:52] <IAmNotThatGuy> Try allotting 3 GB
[15:53] <IAmNotThatGuy> Connection is going to fail. I will be back in 2 minutes
[15:54] <awesomemike09> okk
[16:05] <awesomemike09> nothing
[16:06] <awesomemike09> i m not getting any solution
[16:07] <duanedesign> what is your issue awesomemike09
[21:19] <JustJim> evening all - definite ubuntu newbie - have lots of questions
