=== zoktar is now known as zoktar_ === zoktar_ is now known as zoktar [07:34] Hi all [07:34] Just trying to get vncserver running on ubuntu 12.10.. my xstartup used to have /usr/bin/gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d & [07:35] Obviously, this fails miserably on 12.10 [07:35] Anyone know what session to specify? [07:48] d1rkp1tt: Haven't tried 12.10 yet, but grep Exec= /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop might give some clues [07:48] Thanks [07:51] geirha, Thats a gem, where did you find that out? [07:51] Ive managed to get the desktop, but no menu bar [08:00] d1rkp1tt: /usr/share/ is the logical place for that type of files [08:00] Do I reference that location now? [08:01] did you see any Exec=gnome-session --session= with that grep-command? [08:02] yeah [08:02] Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu [08:02] But not sure how to use it [08:03] Something like... [08:03] /usr/share/ubuntu.desktop/gnome-session --session=ubuntu & [08:04] no, just gnome-session --session=ubuntu & [08:05] Will give that a shot [08:05] is the path like an environment variable? [08:06] well that definately shows the desktop background... but nothing more [08:08] 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] havent heard of those [08:09] are they good? [08:09] haven't tried the latter, but I've tried freenx, and that's fairly easy to set up [08:10] I normally use vnc4server, but I will give that a go [08:10] 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] Thanks for taking the time [08:10] For linux there's an nx client named qnx or qtnx or something like that [08:11] for windows, search for nomachine's nx client === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:48] no problem jorge [09:48] ohhh...... [10:06] Huh? [10:07] M0hi, wrong channel on my part [10:08] Okies === shadeslayer is now known as udsslayer [11:33] Hello everyone [11:35] Can anybody help me ? [11:35] Hello Fr0zenCod3r [11:35] i need to make this [11:35] IP-Balancing: Join online channels in one [11:35] Maybe, why don't you ask and find out? ;) [11:36] any ideas? [11:37] blazemore, ?? ) [11:38] I don't really know what you're asking sorry === viperhoo__ is now known as viperhoot === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan === tehkittehrawrz is now known as thelionroars [13:10] 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] any reason why you are going for 10.04 and not 12.04? [13:12] Oops, right [13:13] I am used to using 10.04 [13:13] The point-releases don't really affect you [13:13] OK, so here is where I should go: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [13:13] They just make a new iso to save new installers having to download months worth of updates [13:13] http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ might be better [13:13] Your system and someone who installed from 10.04.1 should be identical [13:14] Aren't we on Quantal now? [13:14] 12.10 is also out but I have seen some mixed reports on the forums [13:15] 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] For him though he will want 12 [13:17] 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] r4y: Ubuntu comes with a tool to create bootable flash drives [13:18] Or if you're on Windows look at LiLiUSB [13:19] OK, right [13:20] Great, Thank you all for the help [13:21] Is it startup disk creator? [13:23] OK, never mind, I Googled it, I thought that was it once I looked [13:23] Take care [13:23] bye === thelionroars is now known as insaneKittehPoss === insaneKittehPoss is now known as InsaneKittyPosse === InsaneKittyPosse is now known as CompyTheInane === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi === CompyTheInane is now known as thelionroars [15:10] hello [15:10] any 1 free here 2 help me [15:10] :) [15:10] Hi awesomemike09 [15:11] hello [15:11] i m having problem creating swap [15:11] Please shoot your question [15:11] :( [15:11] i can creat swap partation [15:11] soory [15:11] I can't creat swap partation.... :p [15:12] What is the error you are herring?

[15:25] Btw, i am M0hi [15:25] Heya holstein [15:25] i have already installed ubuntu and various data in it... [15:25] IAmNotThatGuy: o/ [15:25] so i m feeling a bit uneasy to format the system again [15:25] Sidewinder: you should have your data backed up.. regardless.. all hard drives will fail [15:26] i think so [15:26] i have the screnshot hope u will get some clue [15:26] http://imagebin.org/233754 [15:26] Sidewinder: sorry... [15:26] awesomemike09: you should have your data backed up.. regardless.. all hard drives will fail [15:27] Grrrrr.... Network break while coming out [15:27] 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] awesomemike09: i would be working from a live CD.. are you? [15:28] i tried reinstalling the ubuntu 2 times but always failed...swap is never created [15:28] awesomemike09: you can always just work without swap [15:28] holstein: are you attending UDS? [15:29] awesomemike09: did you try it in sda1 both the times? [15:29] 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] but my system is very slow [15:29] awesomemike09: how much ram do you have?.. if you are not out of ram, swap wont speed it up [15:29] 1Gb [15:29] 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] awesomemike09: i have used 1gb without swap before.. i would look at other reasons why the system might be slow [15:30] can u giv me some ways to speed up system...my win7 was fast than this [15:30] awesomemike09: misconfigured installation.. hardware support.. bad hardare.. etc [15:30] i thought ubuntu will b fast but now m trapped.. :9 [15:30] :( [15:30] ok thanx [15:30] 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] 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] awesomemike09: ^^ that is what i was getting at.. making swap with the live CD [15:31] Some people have mentioned that 12.10 is a lot slower than 12.04 on the forums [15:31] yaa [15:31] you could be running into the same trouble [15:31] i think soo [15:31] awesomemike09: could you pear try creating swap in some other partitions? By getting into live cd and breaking a partition using gparted? [15:31] awesomemike09: i would remove variables and test.. i would get to tty and see how responsive the system is without x [15:31] !tty [15:31] 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] i tried that using live cd ..... failed... [15:32] awesomemike09: in what way did a live CD fail? it didnt boot? [15:32] no... [15:32] the gparted failed to creat swap [15:32] awesomemike09: i would use whatever CD you used to install.. and work with the hard drive [15:32] i used USB [15:33] iso from ubuntu.com [15:33] 12.10 [15:34] 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] awesomemike09: i would look at how you installed and didnt get swap.. see if something is misconfigured from there [15:34] awesomemike09: question.... Did you try on sda1 both the times? Please answer...u [15:34] no in 1st attempt sda1 then in 2nd sda3 [15:34] awesomemike09: the default 12.10 iso from ubuntu.com on USB will give you swap by default.. [15:34] i put it in the last [15:35] but its nto working [15:35] may i ask u smthing?? [15:35] awesomemike09: make sure none of the partitions on the drive are in use before you start [15:35] yaa [15:35] i did checked [15:36] i just some ways to make ubuntu 12.10 super fast [15:37] holstein: can u help [15:39] no1 here [15:39] ???? [15:39] awesomemike09: the error that your log states is that the device is busy [15:39] yaa [15:39] it says soo [15:39] That means your partition was mounted [15:39] so [15:39] what sould i do [15:39] now [15:39] ? [15:41] Try unmounting that or do it through live cd... But not sda1 if you ask me [15:42] soory.. i dont understand [15:44] is there a way to increase speed of ubuntu 12.10 [15:44] 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] i haev the free space already [15:46] but using the live cd the gparted is still unable to creat it.. :( [15:46] Create the swap in the free space by using the live cd [15:46] but using the live cd the gparted is still unable to creat it [15:47] Hmmmm... Something different [15:47] yaaa [15:48] What is the free space left in your disk? [15:51] 3.9 gb...... [15:52] i alloted that much for swap [15:52] Try allotting 3 GB [15:53] Connection is going to fail. I will be back in 2 minutes [15:54] okk [16:05] nothing === duanedes1gn is now known as duanedesign [16:06] i m not getting any solution [16:07] what is your issue awesomemike09 === dniMretsaM is now known as dniMretsaM_away === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM [21:19] evening all - definite ubuntu newbie - have lots of questions [21:48] Ok just installed 12.10 on a usb - how do I figure out what the initial user and password is?
