| pink_ | Hello | 00:37 |
|---|---|---|
| pink_ | may I ask a question? How can I open/launch a program (like firefox) via ssh? I'd like the program runs on the server (lubuntu on the server, putty on windows) | 00:38 |
| juan_144 | on command line? | 00:40 |
| juan_144 | have you tried firefox | 00:40 |
| juan_144 | ? | 00:40 |
| pink_ | yes on command line. If i send via ssh: firefox (or nohup firefox) it does not start on the server (neither in the client obviusly) | 00:42 |
| pink_ | I tried this: http://superuser.com/questions/326206/starting-a-program-on-the-desktop-from-ssh-in-ubuntu but does not work | 00:42 |
| juan_144 | what runlevel has the server? | 00:42 |
| pink_ | root | 00:43 |
| pink_ | (if I understand what runlevel is, I'm newbee) | 00:43 |
| juan_144 | runlevel=run mode | 00:44 |
| juan_144 | single user | 00:44 |
| juan_144 | text mode | 00:44 |
| juan_144 | graphical mode | 00:44 |
| juan_144 | there are a total of 6 | 00:44 |
| juan_144 | 0 halt the system | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | 1 | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | single user | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | 2 I dont remember | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | 3 is multiuser text mode | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | 4 is unuser | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | and 5 s graphical mode | 00:45 |
| juan_144 | 6 restart the system | 00:46 |
| pink_ | I really dont know, the default ones I suppose (just downloaded the iso and flashed over usb) | 00:47 |
| juan_144 | what iso? | 00:47 |
| pink_ | runlevel n° 2 | 00:48 |
| pink_ | * 2 Full multi-user mode (Default) | 00:48 |
| pink_ | just checked via ssh | 00:48 |
| juan_144 | OK, Firefox will not run on that mode | 00:48 |
| juan_144 | It needs a graphical server | 00:49 |
| pink_ | you mean that will not run from ssh? (because If I start firefox or another program with a GUI, directly from the server, it works) | 00:50 |
| juan_144 | then you are not running on runlevel 2 on the server | 00:51 |
| juan_144 | and if you call firefox from CLI you will get stuck on it until firefox closes | 00:52 |
| pink_ | ok thanks | 00:54 |
| deckard_ | hello. Would someone please tell me the command to install Lubuntu? | 07:17 |
| Johnathon | Hello all, I seem to have a problem after installing Lubuntu from the alternate installer, it installs fine, but when I boot up it gets to a blank screen with the cursor in the middle then looping to the moniter saying out of range | 11:20 |
| Johnathon | Hello? | 11:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hello | 11:49 |
| Johnathon | Would you be able to help with "I seem to have a problem after installing Lubuntu from the alternate installer, it installs fine, but when I boot up it gets to a blank screen with the cursor in the middle then looping to the moniter saying out of range" | 11:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well, I'd start by saying "Is there a reason you need to install from the alternate install image?" | 11:57 |
| Johnathon | It would hang on install not showing anything no matter what I did so someone told me to install it from the alternate iso. | 11:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What about the mini.iso? | 11:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !min | 11:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !mini | 11:58 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One sec... | 11:58 |
| Johnathon | sure | 11:58 |
| Johnathon | But I can't use an online based one since the computer I'm installing it on doesn't have internet | 11:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK yeah, what about the mini.iso? | 12:06 |
| Johnathon | I cant install it since the computer doesnt have access to internet | 12:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Now that could be a problem. | 12:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK, what's the targeet hardware? | 12:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *target | 12:08 |
| Johnathon | Not sure of gfx but when I boot it into puppy it says it loaded vesa the rest are 30GB HDD 2.6Ghz Processor (Pentium I think), 256 MB of RAM. | 12:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK, that should be plenty of space to install Lubuntu... perhaps your installer image was corrupted? | 12:09 |
| Johnathon | Tried it in a VM and it works fine | 12:09 |
| Johnathon | It is just this computer every distro seems to freak up on, It installs fine, but when it boots the moniter compains about being out of range | 12:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Monitor specs? Graphics card? If you can get Puppy to work, run [ lspci ] for that | 12:11 |
| Johnathon | I don't know the gfx card type, I know the moniters model number. | 12:12 |
| Johnathon | The OS installed fine, but I can't do anything since it is out of range | 12:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Johnathon: Can you drop to a tty? (press Ctrl+Alt+F1) | 12:12 |
| Johnathon | No | 12:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Did you try with a LiveCD set to nomodeset? | 12:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !nomodeset | 12:14 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 12:14 |
| Johnathon | Yes, it ended with the same result execpt it refused to boot I left it for like 5 hours and no desktop what so ever | 12:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well, the last thing I can think of is "Did you use the correct install media for your architecture? | 12:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | " and that's usually detected. | 12:16 |
| Johnathon | Yes, but | 12:16 |
| Johnathon | Progress | 12:16 |
| === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x | ||
| Johnathon | After flipping between out of range and the cursor it got to command line via CTRL ALT F1 | 12:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Johnathon: Oh it did. Now you can [ lspci ] and give more specs. | 12:17 |
| Johnathon | A lot piled up on the screen is there anyway to scroll p? | 12:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Not in a tty. I need the "Graphics Controller" line. | 12:18 |
| Johnathon | Mulltimeadia video controller is the closest it has | 12:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Try [ lspci | less ] then. (That is a straight slash (Shift+\)) | 12:20 |
| Johnathon | Nothing I can see with that. VGA compatible cotroller is the only other thing that seems to be gfx related | 12:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And what does that line read? [ lspci | grep VGA ] | 12:22 |
| Johnathon | VGA compatible controller: silicon integrated systems [SiS] 65xM650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter | 12:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Then this page is for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis | 12:25 |
| Johnathon | Thanks, I'll go do that now and report back if anything is still wrong or I don't understand part of it :) | 12:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | All right. I have to go now but I'll be back in about 2 hrs | 12:28 |
| Johnathon | Should be still awake | 12:28 |
| LucreCarot | I have a problem with de update and upgrade, the console said: | 14:26 |

| LucreCarot | not I not using LVM | 14:30 |
| LucreCarot | I had to install this? | 14:30 |

| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: That only appears if LVM were installed. | 14:33 |
| LucreCarot | ok, I run this command and said this | 14:34 |
| LucreCarot | the lines I paste before | 14:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: You'll run into problems with normal updating and upgrading with LVM. You should reinstall without LVM if you don't really need it. | 14:35 |
| LucreCarot | How I reinstall without LVM? | 14:35 |
| LucreCarot | If I reinstall I will lost all my software and programmes? | 14:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: Pop your live image in and make sure "Use LVM with the new Lubuntu installation" is unchecked. And yes you will lose all that, but there is a way to preserve it: | 14:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: To preserve your programs, run [ dpkg --get-selections > installed-software ] and put installed-software on external media. To save your PPAs, copy /etc/apt/sources.list to external media. | 14:37 |
| LucreCarot | Ok, thank you very mucho, this is the unique solution? Its impossible desinstall the LVM or something like this? | 14:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: And then, to restore them, overwrite /etc/apt/sources.list on the new install with the old one, copy the "installed-software" file to your home dir and run [ dpkg --set-selections < installed-software ] in a terminal. | 14:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: Nope. That's the only solution to remove LVM (because that's how the partitioning system is set up. | 14:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ) | 14:39 |
| LucreCarot | Ok! thank you very much for your help!!!! A final question, when is important used the LVM? o for what thing is important used the LVM? | 14:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LucreCarot: Logical volume management is good for RAID arrays (daisy-chained drives on data storage systems and the like) | 14:41 |
| LucreCarot | Ok | 14:42 |
| LucreCarot | thanks a lot!!!!!! | 14:42 |
| LucreCarot | to reinstall all! jejejejeje | 14:42 |
| Johnathon | I've having a problem starting my Lubuntu, I installed from the alternate image since i was having difficulties loading the original ISO without the installer crashing, on start up I get a cursor in the middle of the screen flashing between that and the moniter being out of range, i can't use CTRL+ALT+f1-f6 without it permantly going to out of range | 15:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wb | 15:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Did you try the steps mentioned on the Web page regarding SiS drivers? | 15:43 |
| Johnathon | It died, and went back to out of range before I could do it :/ | 15:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | It ... died? Did you have the thing plugged in? | 15:44 |
| Johnathon | Yes. | 15:44 |
| Johnathon | It just flipped back to out of range | 15:45 |
| Johnathon | If I got Puppy on it, would I be able to do the steps from there? Or does it have to be done this way | 15:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Lubuntu is rather specific. I'm suprised the mini.iso wouldn't work. Either way, the installer didn't detect your wireless or wired connection? | 15:46 |
| Johnathon | It doesn't have internet access at the present moment. I don't know when it will be restored | 15:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Johnathon: Well... at this point, I'm outta ideas. I don't think installing any Ubuntu distro (except maybe Server) would work with your present configuration... you'd just need a new machine to begin with. | 15:49 |
| Johnathon | :/ Damn, thanks for all the help. I might as well go get a new computer. Thanks | 15:52 |
