Taggnostrhello00:53
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest66863
TaggnostrI just got a new pc with a 128GB ssd and a normal hd, and was wondering what would be the best way to divide the partitions between the two00:55
Taggnostrdo you have any suggestion?00:56
DarthFrogTaggnostr: Partition the SSD into two partitions, one about 15 gig or so for the system, the rest for your home directory.01:06
DarthFrogTaggnostr: Mount the HD into your home directory and use it for static storage.01:07
TaggnostrDarthFrog, what about the swap partition?01:07
DarthFrogTaggnostr: Do not put your swap partition on the SSD.  How much RAM do you have?01:07
Taggnostr8GB01:08
DarthFrogYou don't need a swap partition with that much RAM.01:08
DarthFrogAlso:  http://apcmag.com/how-to-maximise-ssd-performance-with-linux.htm01:08
Taggnostrthanks01:08
TaggnostrI was also reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives01:08
TaggnostrDarthFrog, is the swap partition completely unnecessary with 8GB of ram, or is it better to still create it (on the normal HD)?01:13
DarthFrogUp to you and it depends upon how you use your computer.01:14
DarthFrogPersonally, my attitude is if I ever need to use swap, I need more RAM. :-)01:15
Taggnostrwhat happens if I run out of ram and I don't have a swap partition? if it's safer to have a swap partition I don't mind to use a few GB from the normal HD for it01:15
DarthFrogSwap was useful back in the days of low RAM machines and high RAM cost.  Those days of expensive resources are over.01:15
DarthFrogTaggnostr:  As I said, it's up to you.  The resource cost of a swap partition on today's monster HDs is trivial.01:16
TaggnostrI'm not planning to use 8GB of RAM constantly (I've been living with 2GB so far), but it might be possible to have peaks over 8GB if I start running a couple VMs while doing other things01:17
DarthFrogIf you're running virtual machines, then you need real RAM, not swap.01:18
Taggnostralso it seemed to me that the swap was used even if there was free ram, is that not the case? (or do I have to configure it somehow to keep everything in ram?)01:18
=== dziegler is now known as dziegler_off
Taggnostrfor example now my pc (the one with 2GiB) reports 1.2GiB for the RAM and 0.5GiB for the swap01:19
DarthFrogWith 2 GB of RAM, I'd have a swap partition.01:19
Taggnostrwhat's the difference between kubuntu 32bit or 64bit? why is 32bit recommended?01:38
DarthFrogBecause it works on all systems, 32bit and 64bit.  There's no killer advantage to using 64bit, unless you're doing lots of number crunching.01:42
DarthFrogIf you install 6bit, you'll also likely need to install the ia32-libs for some backward compatibility.  Eg. Steam requires 32 bit support.01:43
Taggnostrok01:48
Taggnostrwill kubuntu ask me to do the partitioning when I boot the ISO from usb?01:49
tsimpsonit asks if you choose manual partitioning, and it will ask for confirmation with the automatic partitioning anyway02:33

FlameReaper-PCThanks.08:35
Sarger001DW i figured it out mysekf08:36

Sarger001I used to think kubuntu looked ugly and childish, it's starting to grow on me :D08:38
FlameReaper-PCHmm, back to this: [16:35] <FlameReaper-PC> Anyone had any problems logging in after updating to KDE 4.10.2?08:39
TaggnostrI'm installing kubuntu on a new pc with 120GB SSD + 1TB HD and I heard that setting up LVM is better, but I don't know much about it.  Now there's an option that says "use entire disk and set up LVM", should I select this?08:56
Tm_TTaggnostr: have anyone explained why LVM would be better?08:56
Taggnostr"because it's more flexible and it's difficult to add it later if you didn't do it at the beginning"?08:57
Tm_Tindeed08:58
TaggnostrIIUC I should make a 200MB partition for /boot on the SSD, use the rest of the SSD as a second partition and the whole HD as a third partition08:59
Tm_TTaggnostr: automatic partitioning wouldn't do it like that AFAIK09:00
TaggnostrI also read that I should align the SSD.  Will I be able to do that if I select the "guided installation" or should I select manual instead?09:00
Taggnostrbefore finding about LVM I was going to have 20GB for / + 100GB for /home on the SSD, but now with LVM I'm not sure anymore what I should do09:02
TaggnostrTm_T, any suggestion about what to do?09:08
Tm_TTaggnostr: hmm, perhaps what you just described, except perhaps larger root, and home with LVM09:14
Tm_Tthen you can extend home to use part or entirely the larger disk you have09:14
Taggnostron this pc I have 2 HDs and I mounted the second one as /home/data (the /home is on the first one)09:15
Taggnostrhow will it work with LVM?09:15
Tm_TLVM basicly means that you can add and extend partitions easily09:16
Tm_Tthat's pretty much all the benefit for you in ordinary use09:16
Taggnostrwhat I know about LVM is that is some kind of layer that will allow you to see a partition as a single thing even if the data are saved on different disks09:17
Taggnostrbut here I want to keep the SSD and the HD separated09:17
Taggnostrso I think I will have to do 3 physical partition (/boot, one for the SSD and one for the HD)09:18
Taggnostrbut then I'm not sure what to do next09:18
Taggnostrsto logical partition on the SSD partition for / and /home?09:19
Taggnostrs/sto/two/09:19
Tm_Tyup09:20
Taggnostrok09:21
Taggnostrwhen I do the manual configuration, there are "primary" and "logical" as partition type, is "logical" related to LVM?09:22
Tm_TTaggnostr: nope09:25
Taggnostrnow I was trying "guided with LVM" and I think it started doing the partitioning on its own...09:26
Tm_Tyes it does09:27
Sarger001http://i.imgur.com/xaBt7Pf.jpg How's my desktop?09:53
administrator_can't open this pictrue!!09:54
lordievaderLooks good Sarger001, though I would like to point you to #kubuntu-offtopic. Unless it is a picture of a problem ;)09:54
administrator_i agree!09:55
Sarger001OK Gone there09:55
FlameReaper-PCDoes anyone here update to KDE 4.10.2?09:57
lordievaderHmm seems my mirror is outdated...10:00
lordievaderFlameReaper-PC: I'll check it out in the afternoon, see how the update goes.10:01
Tm_TFlameReaper-PC: yes10:01
FlameReaper-PClordievader: Ok thanks. It seems here the update on my part broke in some way, it keeps kicking me back to the login screen no matter what I try.10:01
FlameReaper-PCI was able to start Plasma Desktop manually by hijacking an LXDE session though.10:02
Tm_TFlameReaper-PC: check ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for hints what goes wrong when logging in10:03
FlameReaper-PCI'll retry that.10:04
Sarger001Is there a launchpad style dashboard for kubuntu? Really need one10:09
lordievaderThat's odd, it doesn't give me the update to 4.10.2. Oh well I'll take a look at it later...10:10
FlameReaperlordievader: Are you updating via the Kubuntu Backports?10:12
FlameReaperBy the way10:12
FlameReaperTm_T: http://pastebin.com/jYEQxvQd << Xorg.0.log10:12
FlameReaperand http://pastebin.com/cXKvuPrR << .xsession-errors10:13
FlameReaperfrom what I understand there is no error message given10:13
FlameReaperit just kicks me back to the login screen10:13
Tm_TFlameReaper: uh, is that your entire .xsession-errors?10:28
FlameReaperTm_T: Yes10:30
Mamarokthat is the default value, let me see if I find where to change that11:30
Mamaroknvm, wrong channel11:31
Tm_TFlameReaper-PC: any luck with it?12:00
FlameReaperTm_T: Not a single sign of it.12:04
FlameReaperTried a lot including removing the .kde folder12:05
FlameReaperseveral times12:05
FlameReaperreinstalling the entire KDE packages, but no downgrading12:05
FlameReaperas said earlier, I was able to get to a KDE desktop by hijacking an LXDE session12:07
FlameReapersuggesting something might be wrong on the login part12:07
FlameReaperI just don't know where to start looking12:07
Tm_TFlameReaper: what you mean by "hijacking" in this case?12:13

lordievaderHey FlameReaper, no I'm running Raring, didn't think it would be neccessary to add the backports.12:19
MamarokFlameReaper: and you are sure you have all kde-runtime packages installed?12:20
Mamaroklordievader: the backports are not yet activated, this will only happen after the release12:20
lordievaderMamarok: Exactly, that is what I thought. However in my Raring install I do not get the update to 4.10.212:21
Mamaroklordievader: because they are not done yet?12:21
FlameReaper-PCMamarok: How do I make sure of that?12:22
FlameReaper-PCTm_T: I logged in using an LXDE session12:22
lordievaderMamarok: Ok, if that is the reason. But quoting from the Kubuntu website: "Packages for the release of KDE SC 4.10.2 are available for Kubuntu 12.10, 12.04 and our Raring development release."12:23
FlameReaper-PCthen killed the panel, window manager and desktop, and ran the following manually:12:23
Mamarokoh, let me check that out, then12:23
FlameReaper-PCKwin, plasma-desktop, and krunner (for ALT+F2)12:24
MamarokFlameReaper-PC: open the package manager and check if you have all the lsited kde-runtime packages installed12:24
BluesKaj"Morning all12:24
FlameReaper-PCMamarok: I was upgrading, so I don't really know what I would miss12:26
FlameReaper-PCand that while I can start a plasma desktop session manually it's the login that is giving me problems12:27
FlameReaper-PCanyway I will be AFK for a while for dinner, will be back later12:27
MamarokFlameReaper-PC: the problem is that you don't have all packages, that announcement was psoted too early12:28
Mamarokso you have an incomplete upgrade12:28
FlameReaper-PCAh12:28
FlameReaper-PCMamarok: so that means I upgraded with an uncomplete list of packages?12:29
smartboyhwMamarok, who was the person having problems12:29
Mamaroksmartboyhw: FlameReaper-PC12:30
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, hello12:30
FlameReaper-PCsmartboyhw: Hello12:30
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, the strange thing is that when we tested internally people reported that the DE is working okay.12:30
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, it might be that the packages aren't copied fully to the Backports PPA then12:31
FlameReaper-PCAh12:31
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, let us check please:)12:31
FlameReaper-PCProbably I upgraded too early? :P12:31
smartboyhwAnd sorry for breaking your desktop:(12:31
MamarokFlameReaper-PC: yes, unfortunately12:32
FlameReaper-PCsmartboyhw: It's all right, I'm just curious12:32
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, yes.12:32
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, no worries12:32
smartboyhwWe will get it fixed for you:)12:32
FlameReaper-PC:D12:32
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC: Just a confirmation: You are running 12.10 right?12:33
=== robert_ is now known as Guest26751
lordievaderFlameReaper-PC: You around? What version of Kubuntu are you running?12:51
lordievaderIt would help us a lot :)12:51
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC lordievader upgraded perfectly...13:11
lordievaderFlameReaper-PC: In Quantal, lets also mention that.13:12
FlameReaper-PCsmartboyhw: Yes, I am on 12.1013:29
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC: OK13:30
smartboyhwlordievader found it no problem13:30
smartboyhwSo try again maybe:(13:30
FlameReaper-PCsmartboyhw: Acknowledged.13:30
lordievaderFlameReaper-PC: How did you try to update?13:30
FlameReaper-PClordievader: The usual apt-get upgrade13:30
FlameReaper-PCbecause I already have the PPA in my system13:31
lordievaderFlameReaper-PC: It might be that apt found a few packages had a too big influence and kept them back, perhap you can try to update with apt-get dist-upgrade.13:31
FlameReaper-PClordievader: Doesn't seem to be the case, the apt log shows a clean output, except for this one:13:34
FlameReaper-PCdpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.2~ubuntu12.10~ppa1_i386.deb (--unpack):13:34
FlameReaper-PC trying to overwrite shared '/etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf', which is different from other instances of package libqtcore4:i38613:34
smartboyhwlibqtcore? Hmm13:34
FlameReaper-PCWhich I issued a dpkg --force-all later on13:35
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC, and it didn't work right?13:36
smartboyhwOh no, I know nothing about Qt...13:36
FlameReaper-PCsmartboyhw: I managed to force it to install, but I don't really think it impacts much to the problem I currently have13:36
FlameReaper-PCsince I can run plasma-desktop13:36
FlameReaper-PCbut not login into it.13:37
smartboyhwFlameReaper, so you can't login.13:37
FlameReaper-PCsmartboyhw: Yes. The only way I can get to plasma-desktop is by running LXDE,13:37
FlameReaper-PCkilling the window manager, panel and desktop13:37
FlameReaper-PCand replacing it with KDE's.13:38
WalexFlameReaper-PC: that means your Display Manager (KDM, GDM, LightDM, ...) is not configured to offer you the option of starting a different Desktop Environment13:48
FlameReaper-PCWalex: Err, no, that isn't it13:49
FlameReaper-PCEvery display manager I use has KDE listed in it13:49
FlameReaper-PCI just cannot log in when I choose it13:49
FlameReaper-PCit keeps kicking me back to the display manager13:49
WalexFlameReaper-PC: ahhhh that's quite a different thing. You can login, but the startup of KDE fails, a different thing.13:49
FlameReaper-PCYes13:50
FlameReaper-PCWalex: I can start the desktop manually while in another session though13:50
WalexFlameReaper-PC: instead of KDE, choose "xterm" or "fallback" or "failsafe" then you get an empty screen with a single 'xterm' and then type 'startkde' and check if it works that way13:51
FlameReaper-PCWalex: Tried that too, but I can't13:51
FlameReaper-PCKDE doesn't have an "Xterm" option, but I suppose "Failsafe" is it13:52
FlameReaper-PCOh yeah I should note this:13:52
WalexFlameReaper-PC: that should be good.13:52
FlameReaper-PCI can't log in to that either.13:52
smartboyhwFlameReaper, it might not be your problem. We have some applications that aren't copied into the Backports PPA (strangely)13:52
WalexFlameReaper-PC: then you have a really screwed up Desktop Manager configuration.13:53
smartboyhwFlameReaper-PC: ^13:53
FlameReaper-PCWalex: Thing is, I don't get how it could be that screwed up when all I did was an upgrade...13:53
WalexFlameReaper-PC: try to have a look into '~/.xsession-errors' that should tell you something13:53
FlameReaper-PCUh13:54
FlameReaper-PCXsession errors didn't give me much13:54
FlameReaper[18:12] <FlameReaper> Tm_T: http://pastebin.com/jYEQxvQd << Xorg.0.log13:54
FlameReaper[18:13] <FlameReaper> and http://pastebin.com/cXKvuPrR << .xsession-errors13:54
WalexFlameReaper-PC: anyhow what is your current default Desktop Manager? In '/etc/X11/default-desktop-manager'? Probably KDM from what you say.13:55
FlameReaper-PCFlameReaper: Yes, it is KDM.13:56
FlameReaper-PCHowever, it is the same when I use other display managers.13:56
FlameReaper-PCTried to log in, screen goes blank a while and then I'm back at the display manager13:56
WalexFlameReaper-PC: then perhaps there is some error in you ~/.xession' script13:57
FlameReaper-PCIs there such a thing?13:58
FlameReaper-PCls gives me these: .xine/ .xinput.d/  .xsession-errors .xsession-errors.old13:58

lordievaderAh BluesKaj, great you're here, you have much more experience with nVidia ;)15:26
BluesKajnvidia-xconfig writes an  xorg.conf file using the driver parameters and monitor you have installed , it's really not needed15:28

ovidiu-florinneighter do I15:39
ovidiu-florinthat's why I wanted to ask you, could I fix it from CLI?15:39

ovidiu-florinwhy?15:53
BluesKajovidiu-florin, then sudo dpkg -i nvidia-30415:53
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: no such file or directory15:54

ovidiu-florinsame thing15:59
BluesKajthen reboot , do you have all the repositories in your package manager enabled ? like canonical partners etc16:00
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: from what I know dpkg can only install from files16:00
ovidiu-florinand only apt can install from repos16:01
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: yes, they are all enabled, exept fot the cd-rom ones16:02
ovidiu-florinI rebooted, and my system froze durring booting up16:02
BluesKajovidiu-florin, ok nm , use ap-get then , but it's the same thing ..I used dpkg to install my drivers and it worked just fine ,16:02
ovidiu-florinthis keeps happening If I have no driver installed16:03
ovidiu-florinI'll boot in recovery16:03

ovidiu-florinI installed 12.04 and sticked with it16:09
BluesKajthen do one16:10

BluesKajand the desktop16:10
ovidiu-florinsudo do-release-upgrade, right?16:11
BluesKajno!16:11
BluesKajif you want to stay on 12.04 just do dist-upgrade , it upgrades you packages and the latest kernel for your OS...it does NOT upgrade to next OS16:12
ovidiu-florinaaaaaa16:12
ovidiu-florinnow I understand16:12
ovidiu-florinthere is no command dist-upgrade16:13
BluesKajthat's why dpkg didn't have the drivers availabl;e16:13
BluesKajovidiu-florin, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade16:14
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: nothing to be done.  it says that it's up to date16:15
ovidiu-florinshould I pastebin the sources.list?16:15
ovidiu-florinit's the default one with all enabled exept the cd-rom's16:15
BluesKajovidiu-florin, then you have the LTS only packages setting enabled in your package manager16:15
ovidiu-florincan I remoce that from tty?16:16
ovidiu-florinremove16:16
BluesKajperhaps , but i don't know the commnads16:16

dav7xHi everyone! Does somebody know what are the plans for future KDE backports for 12.04 (i.e. kde 4.11, etc)?17:03
Questgenii-around,  ok..17:03
Questgenii-around,  whats the package name?17:04
genii-aroundQuest: It's not packaged by Canonical. See the link for install instructions17:04
Questgenii-around,  is it neatx better?17:04
Questk17:04
sakangdav7x: it's safe to assume 4.xx will show up in backports :)17:05
dav7xthanks sakang!17:06
sakangdav7x: 4.10.2 is in but looks like gate is stil closed17:07
ovidiu-florinsakang: what does that mean? gate closed?17:08
FlameReaper-N900I'm still having problems upgrading to it though17:08
sakangovidiu-florin: can't get it yet17:08
FlameReaper-N900A few reinstalls later and I still have no luck :(17:08
dav7xOh, I got 4.10.2 here in kubuntu 12.10.  I'm planning a downgrade to Kubuntu 12.04 since I will get support until 2017, and I'll be stuck with AMD legacy  drivers due to dropped support for xserver 1.13+17:10
Questgenii-around,  what is the replaced text for "gnome-session"  which is for ubuntu. what is for kubuntu?17:13
sakangdav7x: support here means mostly security updates17:13
genii-aroundQuest: startkde17:13
Questthx17:13
Questgenii-around,  gnome-session17:14
Questtypo17:15
Questgenii-around,  it says kde session is already running17:15
dav7xsakang: I see... I didn't phrase my question well, then. What I mean is that I'd like to know if at least some future major releases (e.g.: kde 4.11, 4.12) could still make it to Kubuntu backports ppa for Kubuntu 12.04.17:15
Questgenii-around,  that means i cannot log the with a user who is already logged in?17:15
ovidiu-florinare AMD video boards preffered over Nvidia video boards on kubuntu?17:16
Questgenii-around,  correct?17:16
dav7xsakang: (as long as they don't depend on other future incompatible packages from future core ubuntu releases)17:17
BluesKajovidiu-florin, not really17:18
dav7xovidiu-florin: in case if you asked that regarding what I said, my problem is that I have an ATI HD 3400 card, and they dropped support for anything older than HD 4XXX since they will not be working with X server 1.12 or less for newer driver releases.17:18
sakangdav7x: 13.xx is already a lot better than 12.04.  Not sure if you will still want 12.04 when 16/17:xx is around17:19
dav7xovidiu-florin: by "they" I mean  AMD17:19
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: I'm thinking that maybe there is something wrong with this video board17:20
sakangovidiu-florin: not sure about your application but radeon works fine for me for legacy cards17:21
dav7xsakang: probably, but I'll be stuck with legacy drivers, and 13.xx will have x server 1.13+, which will not get support for proprietary drivers from AMD since they consider my card is too old. No luck for me :(17:21
QuestI am ssh -X user@domain. logged in. but it says kde already running when I type startkde. whats wrong?17:22
Questgenii-around,  ^17:22
Quest so no kde should be running on that computer? why cant i run the kde on the server and remote desktop as well?17:23
dav7xsakang: I guess I will have to downgrade anyway, otherwise I will start missing security updates next year.17:24
sakangdav7x:i'm guessing you need prop drivers you do video-intensive work? then get a nice new card17:26
BluesKajovidiu-florin, according to other users , your 12.04 install should have newer stable drivers/packages available than you had there ..don't think your graphics card is to blame.17:27
dav7xsakang: not possible for my notebook. Open source drivers are still not cutting it, sadly. Suspend resume doesn't work, energy managment is absent or extremely poor, etc.17:29
dav7xThe only option I see for now to get future KDE major releases is switching to Arch and pin down xserver. Sadly (again), I never got the same support out of the box for printers, nor working suspend/hibernate with arch, besides some nasty hiccups in package management there.17:31
sakangdav7x: I have a 2005 Compaq with the very first 64-bit Turion and radeon works nicely with kde17:32
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: then .... I don't know...17:32
dav7xsakang: admiteddly I haven't tested recent versions of radeon. I will have to do some testing then!17:33
sakangdav7x: I don't remember exactly the card but it's pretty old like xpress 120M something17:34
Questhow to kill kde desktop?17:34
sakangstop kdm17:35
dav7xsakang: so maybe it could also be that your card has features that have had more time to be ironed out17:36
Questsakang,  not working17:40
Questsakang,  $ sudo stop kdm17:41
Queststop: Unknown job: kdm17:41
tsimpsonwe use lightdm these days, stopping that will kill all of the GUI so you'll have to login to a TTY and start it manually17:42
tsimpsonor just use "sudo restart lightdm"17:42
sakangQuest: yeah if you use lightdm as the login mgr17:44
sakangQuest: os on a terminal, find out the process ID and then kill it17:45
sakangor*17:45
Questsakang,  tsimpson  i dont know. i just installed kubuntu 12.1017:45
tsimpson12.10 uses lightdm, yeah17:45
Questtsimpson,  sakang  iam on ssh -X user@domain      i cannot start a GUi. how can i do that please?17:46
tsimpsonjust like I showed, "sudo restart lightdm"  that will kill the whole GUI on the host and bring up the login manager again17:47
tsimpsonit's not the most graceful way to kill a desktop session, you can communicate with the desktop over DBus these days too using qdbus or dbus-send and ask the desktop to logout rather than killing all of it. that's only if the session is responding of course17:48
sakangQuest: sorry, I only use ssh to read/write files. not familiar with remote desktop17:50

lenI'm upgrading my notebook from 12.04 to 12.10 and I'm at a point where I am supposed to answer yes or no to a question but I can't see what the question is?!20:51
lenI had the terminal drop down section open20:52
lenso it filled it in  with the curses box20:52
lenbut the box is way to small for it20:52
lenand it won't let me see the question I am supposed to answer20:53
OerHeksQuest, see https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa no quantal packages20:53
lenIt is at  "preparing to configure cpp"20:53
lenHow can I find out what the question is?20:53
OerHeksQuest, this ppa does have it > https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/testing20:54
Questhm20:55
Queststill no20:55
Quest12.04 is precise?20:55
lenIf I hadn't had the terminal arrow drop-down open would it have asked in a seperate window?20:56
lenGuess I won't use that option anymore20:56
lenI like to see the additional info though20:56
OerHeks12.04 is precise yes20:56
lenNot sure what to do now.20:56
lenI can either kill the whole upgrade process and hope I can restart20:57
lenor just guess at the answer and hope I'm right.20:57
lenAny other options?20:57
OerHeksI understand your issue, len, not sure hitting ESC would stop the upgrade20:57
lenHave you ever had this happen before?20:58
lenI never have20:58
lenIt is really frustrating20:58
OerHeksNo, not for a long time, window ghosting20:58

lenbut21:00

lento get terminal output21:00
lenin a little box21:00
leninside the gui21:00
OerHeksah oke, the hidden messages21:00
OerHeksclosing that, would do noharm21:01
lenand installer tried to jam whole blue curses box in there21:01
lenand only a little of it shows21:01
lencrazy21:01
lencan only see the yes or no21:01
OerHeksalt tab could not bring it forward?21:01
OerHeks* in front21:01
lenI don't think you understand the  situation21:02
lennormal gui screen21:02
lenbut there has always been a option21:02
lento open a little output viewer inside the gui21:02
lenand it wedged the whole blue curses screen question in there21:03
lenHit esc and now it is rolling the whole thing back21:05
lenI'll try again with the terminal window closed, but I really really shouldn't have to do that21:05

lenIt starts out closed21:07
lenoops.21:08
lenIt didn't roll back.  It is continuing.21:08
lenDon't know if it chose Yes or No to the unknown question21:08
lenWhat normally happpens if you press Esc instead of answering Yes or No?21:09
lenGet default option?21:09
lenor skip configuring the package altogether?21:10
OerHeksdefault option, yes i presume21:13
OerHeksmost of the time it would be advisable, butt i am not sure what stage you were at that point.21:13

Questit looks like freenx dont have support for 12.10 . what alternatives can i have? i want the client to be on linux as well on windows?21:18
lenWhy not use the packages on nomachine's site?21:23
lenOr are you saying you couldn't get  those to work?21:25
lenI don't see a version specifically for 12.10 on there  site, but it is self contained and installs it's own copies of libs, so I think all the debian-based ones are basically the same and the version for 12.04 should still work21:26
