[00:37] <pink_> Hello
[00:38] <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)
[00:40] <juan_144> on command line?
[00:40] <juan_144> have you tried firefox
[00:40] <juan_144> ?
[00:42] <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?
[00:43] <pink_> root
[00:43] <pink_> (if I understand what runlevel is, I'm newbee)
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <juan_144> 6 restart the system
[00:47] <pink_> I really dont know, the default ones I suppose (just downloaded the iso and flashed over usb)
[00:47] <juan_144> what iso?
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <juan_144> It needs a graphical server
[00:50] <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)
[00:51] <juan_144> then you are not running on runlevel 2 on the server
[00:52] <juan_144> and if you call firefox from CLI you will get stuck on it until firefox closes
[00:54] <pink_> ok thanks
[07:17] <deckard_> hello. Would someone please tell me the command to install Lubuntu?
[11:20] <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
[11:48] <Johnathon> Hello?
[11:49] <SonikkuAmerica> Hello
[11:51] <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"
[11:57] <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.
[11:58] <SonikkuAmerica> What about the mini.iso?
[11:58] <SonikkuAmerica> !min
[11:58] <SonikkuAmerica> !mini
[11:58] <SonikkuAmerica> One sec...
[11:58] <Johnathon> sure
[11:59] <Johnathon> But I can't use an online based one since the computer I'm installing it on doesn't have internet
[12:06] <SonikkuAmerica> OK yeah, what about the mini.iso?
[12:06] <Johnathon> I cant install it since the computer doesnt have access to internet
[12:07] <SonikkuAmerica> Now that could be a problem.
[12:07] <SonikkuAmerica> OK, what's the targeet hardware?
[12:08] <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.
[12:09] <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
[12:10] <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
[12:11] <SonikkuAmerica> Monitor specs? Graphics card? If you can get Puppy to work, run [ lspci ] for that
[12:12] <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)
[12:13] <Johnathon> No
[12:14] <SonikkuAmerica> Did you try with a LiveCD set to nomodeset?
[12:14] <SonikkuAmerica> !nomodeset
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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] <Johnathon> After flipping between out of range and the cursor it got to command line via CTRL ALT F1
[12:17] <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?
[12:18] <SonikkuAmerica> Not in a tty. I need the "Graphics Controller" line.
[12:19] <Johnathon> Mulltimeadia video controller is the closest it has
[12:20] <SonikkuAmerica> Try [ lspci | less ] then. (That is a straight slash (Shift+\))
[12:21] <Johnathon> Nothing I can see with that. VGA compatible cotroller is the only other thing that seems to be gfx related
[12:22] <SonikkuAmerica> And what does that line read? [ lspci | grep VGA ]
[12:24] <Johnathon> VGA compatible controller: silicon integrated systems [SiS] 65xM650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter
[12:25] <SonikkuAmerica> Then this page is for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis
[12:27] <Johnathon> Thanks, I'll go do that now and report back if anything is still wrong or I don't understand part of it :)
[12:28] <SonikkuAmerica> All right. I have to go now but I'll be back in about 2 hrs
[12:28] <Johnathon> Should be still awake
[14:26] <LucreCarot> I have a problem with de update and upgrade, the console said:
[14:26] <SonikkuAmerica> WAIT! Use pastebin

[14:29] <SonikkuAmerica> Are you using LVM?
[14:29] <LucreCarot> whats is LVM?
[14:29] <LucreCarot> the computer have a lot of space
[14:30] <LucreCarot> not I not using LVM
[14:30] <LucreCarot> I had to install this?
[14:31] <xnox> LucreCarot: what does: $ sudo lvs
[14:31] <xnox> says?

[14:33] <SonikkuAmerica> LucreCarot: That only appears if LVM were installed.
[14:34] <LucreCarot> ok, I run this command and said this
[14:34] <LucreCarot> the lines I paste before
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <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:
[14:37] <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.
[14:38] <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.
[14:39] <SonikkuAmerica> LucreCarot: Nope. That's the only solution to remove LVM (because that's how the partitioning system is set up.
[14:39] <SonikkuAmerica> )
[14:40] <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?
[14:41] <SonikkuAmerica> LucreCarot: Logical volume management is good for RAID arrays (daisy-chained drives on data storage systems and the like)
[14:42] <LucreCarot> Ok
[14:42] <LucreCarot> thanks a lot!!!!!!
[14:42] <LucreCarot> to reinstall all! jejejejeje
[15:40] <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
[15:43] <SonikkuAmerica> wb
[15:43] <SonikkuAmerica> Did you try the steps mentioned on the Web page regarding SiS drivers?
[15:44] <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.
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <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?
[15:47] <Johnathon> It doesn't have internet access at the present moment. I don't know when it will be restored
[15:49] <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.
[15:52] <Johnathon> :/ Damn, thanks for all the help. I might as well go get a new computer. Thanks
[21:55] <canin> ""Linux for Workgroups": Linux 3.11's feature set now confirmed" Oh god Lubuntu for Workgroups, coming soon
[21:56] <bioterro1> I love the new release cycle, I can see Linux 95 during my lifetime
[22:23] <SonikkuAmerica> bioterro1: I can see Linux XP in my lifetime.
