| Chris262 | just installed a version of ubuntu server, then so i can play from time to time ubuntu-desktop GNOME as well. How do I get the GNOME to not auto boot so as to not take up power/resources. I just want to be able to execute a start command and then kill it while keeping the server up after I'm done | 21:00 |
| Chris262 | I think it is startx to open it. but when I just turned the system on, it auto booted. how do I close it down now? | 21:00 |

| Brianiac | Hi. I'm new to IRC. | 21:15 |
| Brianiac | How would I request support? | 21:16 |
| elacheche_anis | Chris262, try CTRL + ALT + F1 for TTY1 then CTRL + c BTW I think that it's not a good idea to install Xorg and GUI to Ubuntu Server edition | 21:16 |

| Brianiac | I have a XP Pro, Late 2006 system and loaded 12.x ubuntu desktop on it from am usb flash. I cannot "see" or eject my cd/dvd drive. Tried same with 13.x on DVD. Any ideas? | 21:18 |
| elacheche_anis | Brianiac, you just boot into WinXP and then pluged in your USB to the PC? | 21:19 |
| Brianiac | Booted from power off to unbuntu. | 21:20 |
| Brianiac | USB stick in the pC. | 21:20 |
| elacheche_anis | ok, so you tryed ubuntu using a live session Brianiac | 21:21 |
| Brianiac | Put ubuntu on USB stick and rebooted. What is live session? | 21:21 |
| Brianiac | ;0 | 21:21 |
| rreed | Brianiac, Live session is running it Ubuntu off of the USB without installing the OS to your system. | 21:23 |
| Brianiac | Correct. | 21:23 |
| elacheche_anis | Brianiac, when you reboot, after that your pc poweroff and when it will be on again you need to BOOT using the USB stick.. You need to change the boot sequence from your BIOS or just hit a FKey and choose to boot onthe USB stick.. | 21:23 |
| Brianiac | Yep did that. | 21:23 |
| Brianiac | Boots fine into desktop | 21:23 |
| elacheche_anis | that's the live session :) | 21:24 |
| elacheche_anis | you mean ubuntu desktop!? | 21:24 |
| Brianiac | Yes. | 21:24 |
| Brianiac | sorry about that! | 21:24 |
| elacheche_anis | What's the question :) :p :D | 21:24 |
| Brianiac | Once i'm into the ubuntu desktop I cannot see or access my cd/dvd drive, nor eject it. Running off the USB stick. | 21:26 |
| elacheche_anis | Running off the USB stick. → You mean restart the pc to boot into WinXP again? | 21:27 |
| Brianiac | I booted to ubuntu desktop from the USB stick directly. | 21:28 |
| Brianiac | Version 12.x | 21:29 |
| elacheche_anis | Ok.. Now you need to?? Sorry I'm not a not a native English user :) Forgive my bad English.. | 21:30 |
| Brianiac | The ubuntu desktop running off the usb drive does not see my CD/DVD drive. | 21:31 |
| elacheche_anis | Did you insert a CD/DVD into it? | 21:32 |
| Brianiac | None. IT booted off the USB stick. | 21:32 |
| Brianiac | You mesn did I try putting a cd/vdvd into the drive - well, no beacuse I could not eject it via the ubuntu od | 21:33 |
| Brianiac | os | 21:33 |
| elacheche_anis | Try this → CTRL + ALT + T → That'll open the Terminal, type this command line: eject | 21:34 |
| Brianiac | OK will try. How come the drive does not show up on the desktop? | 21:35 |
| elacheche_anis | Brianiac, click on the folder icon in the top left of your screen, you'll find your drive icon on the left of the next window that'll show up | 21:36 |
| Brianiac | yes, CD drive not listed. | 21:37 |
| elacheche_anis | Sorry can't help too much with the Ubuntu user interface, it's called Unity, I don't use it.. | 21:37 |
| elacheche_anis | Brianiac, Did the eject command worked? | 21:37 |
| Brianiac | Will try and report back, thanks! :) | 21:37 |
| elacheche_anis | you can clit on the ubuntu logo in the left bar then search for Terminal if you don't want to use the CTRL + ALT + T shortcut | 21:38 |
| elacheche_anis | click* | 21:38 |
| Brianiac | OK | 21:38 |
| Brianiac | Take care. | 21:39 |
| elacheche_anis | :) | 21:39 |
