| staxxx | I've been searching the web, tutorials and all but still couldn find a way to connect my laptop to my desktop. both run linux os and i'd like to login trhu terminal and execute commands and copy files between machines. any help please? | 02:10 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | staxxx: there are many ways to do that | 02:10 |
| holstein | !ssh | staxxx | 02:11 |
| ubottu | staxxx: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 02:11 |
| holstein | ^ i use ssh on my local lan for *all* machines.. and on many remote servers | 02:11 |
| holstein | i can connect through the terminal and scp files, or connect to the ssh server via sftp with something like filezilla or gigolo | 02:11 |
| holstein | !scp | 02:11 |
| ubottu | scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 02:11 |
| holstein | !gigolo | 02:11 |
| staxxx | Its all to complicated since there are many ways I cant seem to get it right. I dont have a modem both machines connect to the internet via hot stop | 02:11 |
| holstein | !info gigolo | 02:12 |
| staxxx | hotpot | 02:12 |
| ubottu | gigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1+dfsg-1 (saucy), package size 143 kB, installed size 753 kB | 02:12 |
| staxxx | gigolo connects via a gui right? | 02:12 |
| staxxx | I'd like to log in via terminal ad execute commands for example shut down my desktop trhu my laptop | 02:13 |
| holstein | staxxx: ssh requires network connection, though, you can test locally to see if the server is working | 02:13 |
| holstein | staxxx: you want ssh | 02:13 |
| holstein | staxxx: if your machine is not connected to a network, you wont access it from a network | 02:13 |
| staxxx | Any place with a good and simple tutorial? | 02:13 |
| holstein | you address the connectivity, and use ssh | 02:13 |
| staxxx | both machines connect to a hotspot | 02:13 |
| holstein | staxxx: sure.. the link i gave is a *great* start | 02:13 |
| holstein | and "setup ssh server on ubuntu" link should be fine, such as http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/setup-openssh-server-on-ubuntu-linux/ | 02:14 |
| holstein | staxxx: you can either use the hotspots like this, or not | 02:14 |
| staxxx | ok thanks I'll check the link | 02:14 |
| holstein | staxxx: nothing about linux is preventing you from connecting | 02:14 |
| holstein | staxxx: i have configured a few hotspots that allow port forwarding, and a few that do not | 02:15 |
| holstein | i suggest getting a cheapo router (*any* cheap/free router from anywhere), and connect the 2 machines and test/learn about ssh that way | 02:15 |
| staxxx | I'll start the journey | 02:16 |
| staxxx | It's the linux way I guess... But I enjoy it | 02:17 |
| holstein | what is? | 02:17 |
| holstein | your hotspots have nothing to do with the OS you are using | 02:17 |
| staxxx | searching, reading | 02:17 |
| staxxx | learning | 02:17 |
| holstein | you would need to forward ports for samba, or ftp, or whatever else | 02:18 |
| staxxx | yes I guess so. I get around with computers pretty well but networking is my handicap | 02:18 |
| holstein | otherwise, just use dropbox, or some other tool that solves this for you | 02:18 |
| staxxx | dropbox won't allow me to execute commands from one machine to another | 02:18 |
| staxxx | I've been really into writting scripts lately and I'd like to execute my scripts from one machine to another | 02:19 |
| holstein | staxxx: just keep in mind, networking is independent of operating systems | 02:19 |
| staxxx | It's not really as much as transfering files between machines, is more about logging in remotedly via termminal and executing commands | 02:20 |
| staxxx | yes ok | 02:20 |
| staxxx | I wrote a sricpt that shuts down the machine at a given time. for example if I leave the house and forget to turn off the desktop i'd like to use my laptop to login remotedly and turn of the desktop | 02:21 |
| staxxx | sorry for the typos | 02:22 |

| staxxx | hello everyone. I just woke up to find that my ubuntustudio desktop lost its workplaces. now i have only one and can't add anymore. what happened? yesterday was working just fine??? | 13:57 |
| staxxx | These kind of thing I just can't understand | 13:57 |
| staxxx | Today I turned it on and all was fine and sudenly lost the workplaces and the desktop is acting funny | 13:58 |
| staxxx | what is this??? | 13:58 |
| staxxx | any help please?? this is very unreliable for serous work. suddenly all is messed up | 14:00 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx acting "funny"? means ... what? | 14:02 |
| staxxx | only one workplace | 14:02 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx and screenshots | 14:02 |
| staxxx | can't add more | 14:02 |
| staxxx | windows dont show the x close button | 14:02 |
| staxxx | I'm about to give a class now and this happens | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx guess that your xfce4 (windows environment) got fragged ... | 14:03 |
| staxxx | how?? | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx 12.04??? | 14:03 |
| staxxx | how can this happen? how can i prevent this? I need to work | 14:03 |
| staxxx | yes 12.04 | 14:03 |
| staxxx | I know when its me tweaking and messing the system but this happened without my intervention | 14:04 |
| staxxx | any help on how to fix this? | 14:05 |
| staxxx | ............. | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx my suggestion would be to nuke your xfce3 settings and reset to default | 14:08 |
| staxxx | how thats cool. how do i do that? | 14:08 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx go to your /home and display .hidden folders | 14:08 |
| staxxx | done | 14:09 |
| staxxx | what next? | 14:10 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx wait 1 looking for the xfce4 configuration files | 14:11 |
| staxxx | ok | 14:11 |
| staxxx | thank you | 14:12 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx go it: /home/.confg/xfce4 and xfce4-dict rename those, e.g. xfce4BACKUP then logout/login and reset | 14:16 |
| staxxx | rename both folders? | 14:16 |
| cfhowlett | staxxx yea we want them both to reset | 14:18 |
| biombidil | salut | 14:27 |
| biombidil | morning | 14:27 |
| holstein | staxxx: unreliable? you are the only one losing workspaces, so, try and not assume its a shortcoming of the OS\ | 14:28 |
| cfhowlett | biombidil greetings | 14:28 |
| holstein | staxxx: you may prefer using something you are more familiar with? such as unity from main ubuntu with the studio tools? | 14:29 |
| holstein | staxxx: what desktop environment are you coming from? | 14:29 |
| zequence | the only thing in life you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything :) | 14:29 |
| biombidil | ubuntu studio | 14:30 |
| biombidil | 12 | 14:31 |
| cfhowlett | biombidil what is your actual question? | 14:31 |
| biombidil | how can i update vlc | 14:32 |
| cfhowlett | biombidil sudo apt-get install vlc | 14:33 |
| biombidil | thanks | 14:34 |
| zequence | vlc is not updated to new versions, it only gets bug fixes | 14:35 |
| zequence | if you want the most recent version, one way to do that is add a PPA that has it | 14:35 |
| biombidil | but i do not know how to use the command line interface | 14:35 |
| holstein | biombidil: you dont have to | 14:35 |
| zequence | Like this one https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/stable-daily | 14:36 |
| holstein | biombidil: you can use the package manager of your choice to add/install vlc, then the update manager of your choice to update the pacakges to the most recent version in the repositories/source | 14:36 |
| holstein | sources* | 14:36 |
| zequence | They don't get updated to the most recent version holstein | 14:36 |
| holstein | biombidil: if you want a newer version, you can add a PPA, or ask vlc for a version | 14:36 |
| zequence | just security updates | 14:36 |
| zequence | Like I said, one way to do it is add a PPA, like the one I just linked to | 14:37 |
| biombidil | thanks | 14:38 |
| holstein | biombidil: you would want to use the terminal/commandline to add that ppa.. though, you can add the sources with a GUI if you prefer | 14:39 |
| holstein | i suggest using the latest from the repos, and not adding a ppa | 14:39 |
| zequence | biombidil: If you want to add that PPA (but, understand that it changes your system), do: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily | 14:39 |
| biombidil | for each intervention | 14:39 |
| zequence | then, just update your system | 14:39 |
| zequence | The good thing about that PPA is it only contains updates to vlc packages, not other things | 14:40 |
| zequence | So, you will only be changing vlc. Nothing else | 14:41 |
| biombidil | i want to implement the file system with c language | 14:41 |
| biombidil | excuse for my english i am francophone | 14:42 |
| marbangens | I get 404 not found when I try to download ubuntu studio beta 2 | 16:46 |
| holstein | marbangens: ok.. i suggest not doing that | 16:46 |
| holstein | marbangens: i suggest a little patience, and just get main 14.04 when its released | 16:46 |
| holstein | marbangens: the servers are getting hammered right now | 16:47 |
| marbangens | okej | 16:47 |
| staxxx | hey holstein I'm back remember me? | 18:29 |
| holstein | staxxx: no.. but welcome | 18:29 |
| staxxx | :) | 18:29 |
| staxxx | the guy with the desktop messed up | 18:29 |
| holstein | lol | 18:29 |
| staxxx | yes | 18:30 |
| holstein | like that clears it up any ;) | 18:30 |
| staxxx | humm lol | 18:30 |
| staxxx | let me recap | 18:30 |
| staxxx | Today I turned on my laptop and everything was fine until I opened a few windows and my workplaces dissapeared, now I have only one (and can't add anymore) and the windows are funny with no borders with the x to clese them and so on | 18:31 |
| holstein | sounds like a 3d issue, or a graphics or x crash | 18:32 |
| holstein | sounds like you are trying to use compiz with XFCE | 18:32 |
| staxxx | you suggested something relatet to xfce | 18:32 |
| staxxx | well I did use it! now you mentioned it I remember | 18:32 |
| staxxx | but it was a few days ago | 18:32 |
| holstein | staxxx: so, dont do that | 18:32 |
| staxxx | ok now I know what caused it | 18:33 |
| holstein | staxxx: undo whatevrer you did to force compiz, get your system back to default, and test | 18:33 |
| staxxx | finally | 18:33 |
| staxxx | tahnk you | 18:33 |
| staxxx | thank you | 18:33 |
| holstein | then, we can try and addresss what you need from copmiz | 18:33 |
| holstein | i didnt say compiz becuase we dont ship it | 18:33 |
| staxxx | I made a few changes but It was a few days ago. Is it normal to only crash today? | 18:34 |
| holstein | staxxx: its not "normal" to use compiz with xfce | 18:34 |
| staxxx | ok now I know | 18:34 |
| holstein | if you are, then i would start there, and as i said, try and get back to default, and we go from there | 18:34 |
| staxxx | how do I get back to the default desktop. I know I'll lose my settings but... there's no other way right? | 18:35 |
| holstein | staxxx: youd need to elaboartate about what you have done | 18:35 |
| holstein | staxxx: you should see a guide for using copix that suggests how to switch back | 18:36 |
| staxxx | okok I'll go around it and get back if I need help | 18:36 |
| holstein | compiz* | 18:36 |
| holstein | staxxx: probably metacity --replace | 18:36 |
| holstein | buti hadnt done it first hand in quite a few releases | 18:37 |
| staxxx | ok so now I unchecked a few changes I had made. Now I should reboot the system right? | 18:38 |
| staxxx | unchecked changes made in compiz | 18:39 |

| staxxx | I'll reboot the sys | 18:41 |
| staxxx | hey I'm back just rebooted the sys | 18:46 |
| staxxx | no changes. could it be something related to opengl? | 18:47 |
| holstein | staxxx: if you added compiz, and have not switched back, do that first | 18:47 |
| staxxx | you mean uninstall compiz? | 18:48 |
| holstein | staxxx: ? | 18:48 |
| holstein | staxxx: you say you are using compiz.. dont use it | 18:48 |
| holstein | replace the window manager with the defaul | 18:48 |
| holstein | default* | 18:48 |
| staxxx | where do I replace the window manager? | 18:49 |
| holstein | staxxx: i gave a command, but you should look at the guide you used to implment compiz | 18:49 |
| holstein | metacity --replace is what it used to me | 18:50 |
| staxxx | gessshhhh | 18:50 |
| staxxx | what happened? its fixed | 18:51 |
| holstein | staxxx: so, stop using compiz, and test for a while | 18:51 |
| staxxx | now this is interesting | 18:51 |
| holstein | staxxx: you just went back to the default instead of using compiz | 18:51 |
| staxxx | thank you very much | 18:52 |
| holstein | staxxx: you can try and implement what youa re trying to do some other way | 18:52 |
| staxxx | thank you man | 18:52 |
| holstein | sure | 18:52 |
| staxxx | funny the windows now look like the windows in humm unity I guess | 18:52 |
| staxxx | which is great | 18:53 |

| delt | any chance of these bugs being resolved in the next few days? | 23:41 |
