=== holstein_ is now known as holstein [02:10] 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] staxxx: there are many ways to do that [02:11] !ssh | staxxx [02:11] 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] ^ i use ssh on my local lan for *all* machines.. and on many remote servers [02:11] 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] !scp [02:11] 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] !gigolo [02:11] 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 [02:12] !info gigolo [02:12] hotpot [02:12] 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] gigolo connects via a gui right? [02:13] I'd like to log in via terminal ad execute commands for example shut down my desktop trhu my laptop [02:13] staxxx: ssh requires network connection, though, you can test locally to see if the server is working [02:13] staxxx: you want ssh [02:13] staxxx: if your machine is not connected to a network, you wont access it from a network [02:13] Any place with a good and simple tutorial? [02:13] you address the connectivity, and use ssh [02:13] both machines connect to a hotspot [02:13] staxxx: sure.. the link i gave is a *great* start [02:14] 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] staxxx: you can either use the hotspots like this, or not [02:14] ok thanks I'll check the link [02:14] staxxx: nothing about linux is preventing you from connecting [02:15] staxxx: i have configured a few hotspots that allow port forwarding, and a few that do not [02:15] i suggest getting a cheapo router (*any* cheap/free router from anywhere), and connect the 2 machines and test/learn about ssh that way [02:16] I'll start the journey [02:17] It's the linux way I guess... But I enjoy it [02:17] what is? [02:17] your hotspots have nothing to do with the OS you are using [02:17] searching, reading [02:17] learning [02:18] you would need to forward ports for samba, or ftp, or whatever else [02:18] yes I guess so. I get around with computers pretty well but networking is my handicap [02:18] otherwise, just use dropbox, or some other tool that solves this for you [02:18] dropbox won't allow me to execute commands from one machine to another [02:19] I've been really into writting scripts lately and I'd like to execute my scripts from one machine to another [02:19] staxxx: just keep in mind, networking is independent of operating systems [02:20] It's not really as much as transfering files between machines, is more about logging in remotedly via termminal and executing commands [02:20] yes ok [02:21] 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 [02:22] sorry for the typos === Hypnotoad is now known as Guest89873 === TheDrums is now known as TheMaster === TheMaster is now known as DalekSec [13:57] 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] These kind of thing I just can't understand [13:58] Today I turned it on and all was fine and sudenly lost the workplaces and the desktop is acting funny [13:58] what is this??? [14:00] any help please?? this is very unreliable for serous work. suddenly all is messed up [14:02] staxxx acting "funny"? means ... what? [14:02] only one workplace [14:02] staxxx and screenshots [14:02] can't add more [14:02] windows dont show the x close button [14:03] I'm about to give a class now and this happens [14:03] staxxx guess that your xfce4 (windows environment) got fragged ... [14:03] how?? [14:03] staxxx 12.04??? [14:03] how can this happen? how can i prevent this? I need to work [14:03] yes 12.04 [14:04] I know when its me tweaking and messing the system but this happened without my intervention [14:05] any help on how to fix this? [14:07] ............. [14:08] staxxx my suggestion would be to nuke your xfce3 settings and reset to default [14:08] how thats cool. how do i do that? [14:08] staxxx go to your /home and display .hidden folders [14:09] done [14:10] what next? [14:11] staxxx wait 1 looking for the xfce4 configuration files [14:11] ok [14:12] thank you [14:16] staxxx go it: /home/.confg/xfce4 and xfce4-dict rename those, e.g. xfce4BACKUP then logout/login and reset [14:16] rename both folders? [14:18] staxxx yea we want them both to reset [14:27] salut [14:27] morning [14:28] staxxx: unreliable? you are the only one losing workspaces, so, try and not assume its a shortcoming of the OS\ [14:28] biombidil greetings [14:29] staxxx: you may prefer using something you are more familiar with? such as unity from main ubuntu with the studio tools? [14:29] staxxx: what desktop environment are you coming from? [14:29] the only thing in life you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything :) [14:30] ubuntu studio [14:31] 12 [14:31] biombidil what is your actual question? [14:32] how can i update vlc [14:33] biombidil sudo apt-get install vlc [14:34] thanks [14:35] vlc is not updated to new versions, it only gets bug fixes [14:35] if you want the most recent version, one way to do that is add a PPA that has it [14:35] but i do not know how to use the command line interface [14:35] biombidil: you dont have to [14:36] Like this one https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/stable-daily [14:36] 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] sources* [14:36] They don't get updated to the most recent version holstein [14:36] biombidil: if you want a newer version, you can add a PPA, or ask vlc for a version [14:36] just security updates [14:37] Like I said, one way to do it is add a PPA, like the one I just linked to [14:38] thanks [14:39] 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] i suggest using the latest from the repos, and not adding a ppa [14:39] 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] for each intervention [14:39] then, just update your system [14:40] The good thing about that PPA is it only contains updates to vlc packages, not other things [14:41] So, you will only be changing vlc. Nothing else [14:41] i want to implement the file system with c language [14:42] excuse for my english i am francophone [16:46] I get 404 not found when I try to download ubuntu studio beta 2 [16:46] marbangens: ok.. i suggest not doing that [16:46] marbangens: i suggest a little patience, and just get main 14.04 when its released [16:47] marbangens: the servers are getting hammered right now [16:47] okej [18:29] hey holstein I'm back remember me? [18:29] staxxx: no.. but welcome [18:29] :) [18:29] the guy with the desktop messed up [18:29] lol [18:30] yes [18:30] like that clears it up any ;) [18:30] humm lol [18:30] let me recap [18:31] 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 [18:32] sounds like a 3d issue, or a graphics or x crash [18:32] sounds like you are trying to use compiz with XFCE [18:32] you suggested something relatet to xfce [18:32] well I did use it! now you mentioned it I remember [18:32] but it was a few days ago [18:32] staxxx: so, dont do that [18:33] ok now I know what caused it [18:33] staxxx: undo whatevrer you did to force compiz, get your system back to default, and test [18:33] finally [18:33] tahnk you [18:33] thank you [18:33] then, we can try and addresss what you need from copmiz [18:33] i didnt say compiz becuase we dont ship it [18:34] I made a few changes but It was a few days ago. Is it normal to only crash today? [18:34] staxxx: its not "normal" to use compiz with xfce [18:34] ok now I know [18:34] if you are, then i would start there, and as i said, try and get back to default, and we go from there [18:35] 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] staxxx: youd need to elaboartate about what you have done [18:36] staxxx: you should see a guide for using copix that suggests how to switch back [18:36] okok I'll go around it and get back if I need help [18:36] compiz* [18:36] staxxx: probably metacity --replace [18:37] buti hadnt done it first hand in quite a few releases [18:38] ok so now I unchecked a few changes I had made. Now I should reboot the system right? [18:39] unchecked changes made in compiz === holstein changed the topic of #ubuntustudio to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Studio support channel | 13.10 and 12.04.4 Now Released http://ubuntustudio.org/download | Support forum http://ubuntuforums.org | Please be patient and visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio if no one is around | General music making and studio chatter is allowed === holstein changed the topic of #ubuntustudio to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Studio support channel | 14.04 and 12.04.4 Now Released http://ubuntustudio.org/download | Support forum http://ubuntuforums.org | Please be patient and visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio if no one is around | General music making and studio chatter is allowed [18:41] I'll reboot the sys [18:46] hey I'm back just rebooted the sys [18:47] no changes. could it be something related to opengl? [18:47] staxxx: if you added compiz, and have not switched back, do that first [18:48] you mean uninstall compiz? [18:48] staxxx: ? [18:48] staxxx: you say you are using compiz.. dont use it [18:48] replace the window manager with the defaul [18:48] default* [18:49] where do I replace the window manager? [18:49] staxxx: i gave a command, but you should look at the guide you used to implment compiz [18:50] metacity --replace is what it used to me [18:50] gessshhhh [18:51] what happened? its fixed [18:51] staxxx: so, stop using compiz, and test for a while [18:51] now this is interesting [18:51] staxxx: you just went back to the default instead of using compiz [18:52] thank you very much [18:52] staxxx: you can try and implement what youa re trying to do some other way [18:52] thank you man [18:52] sure [18:52] funny the windows now look like the windows in humm unity I guess [18:53] which is great [20:54] hey hello [20:56] o/ [21:06] hey holstein [21:06] i'm having problem with Arista in trusty [21:07] probably is not Arista, it's work here in saucy. Maybe some package that get update and does'n talk to Arista [21:08] Bug #1306592 [21:08] bug 1306592 in arista (Ubuntu) "Problem with GStreamer element ffdeinterlace in Arista" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1306592 [23:23] hmm... some pretty bad bugs still present in the final release... "Window manager shortcut keys don’t work after reboot (1292290)" [23:25] Primary vs Control issue? I thought xfwm handled those pretty well. [23:41] any chance of these bugs being resolved in the next few days?
