<lando> heyo

<bordy> what was the program called you installed on your comp at home so you could SSH into it?

<lando> openssh

<bordy> is it workable with kde?

<lando> yea

<lando> its a command line app

<lando> well its actually a server

<bordy> dammit.,

<lando> and then using putty you log in to your box and have access to your command line

<lando> putty is a windows ssh client

<lando> wha'ppen

<bordy> oh so I only have access to the command line then?

<bordy> I wanna be able to show people my desktop

<lando> yea

<lando> search for vnc or rdesktop

<lando> i dont really know much of about it though

<lando> vnc server*

<bordy> yeah

<lando> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#Remote_Desktop_Sharing.2FDuplication_via_VNC

<lando> this seems to show hwo to do it

<bordy> grr. link didn't work. And all the advice I am finding is for gnome

<lando> have u asked in the kubuntu room?

<bordy> can rarely get anyones attention in there. lol

<lando> yea i know what u mean

<lando> hello

<bordy> hey man

<lando> did ya manage the remote desktop

<lando> im installing ubuntu so i can check what config files and packages are needed for the parental control script

<bordy> no I had no clue how to do it

<lando> free software && free updates && parental control!

<bordy> you should add that to your wiki!

<lando> good idea

<bordy> So, while I have you here, and since you're the only one regularly on, do you have any ideas as to what you would want to accomplish with the LoCo?

<lando> to be honest.. im not too sure what the loco team is suppose to do. i just know i want to help

<bordy> then we're pretty much in the same boat. I think our best bet is to search around the other locos. I do know I would like to mostly get involved in ubuntu presentation in the community

<bordy> and find some org like freegeek.org to work with redistributing recycled comps with ubuntu or kubuntu maybe

<bordy> but thats just the weird philanthropy in me.

<lando> ooh

<lando> thats a good idea

<lando> i heard about freegeek via some video i found online.

<bordy> I am not sure of whether or not it exists in FL

<lando> thats kinda why i thought up about creating a script that would install and configure a couple packages for parents to control sites kids get to visit

<lando> i dont think so

<lando> just saw new yorks loco team made a custom little ubuntu logo. you think i should make one for florida

<bordy> so you seem to be decent with coding and whatnot?

<lando> a bit... im a computer science student

<lando> working towards by associates though

<lando> i also can do some html, php and mysql

<bordy> damn interwebs

<lando> hehe everything ok

<bordy> no, brighthouse sucks

<bordy> i hate them

<lando> is that ur isp?

<bordy> yeah

<lando> my internet goes down maybe 5 times a year

<lando> its not so bad

<lando> god i cant use the gimp for anything

<bordy> we've been with brighthouse since around May of last year when we bought the house... and we have had probably 15 service calls (including one where they re-wired our house) and have had at least 6 modems.

<bordy> its bullshit, but they are the only high speed available here.

<lando> yikes that sounds horrible

<bordy> yeah its just too hard for me (GiMP that is)

<lando> they can provide shitty service since it is the only high speed service around those parts

<bordy240> mark007 heyo

<bordy240> brb gonna try something

*** bordy240 is now known as bordy_away

<mark007> Hey bordy

*** bordy_away is now known as bordy240

*** bordy240 is now known as bordy

<bordy> hey man

<mark007> How's things?

<bordy> good good! got our official mailing list through today. lol

<bordy> of course a day after I set up a temporary google group

<mark007> lol

<mark007> Yeah, I'm wowrking on an ubuntu convert.

<mark007> She has a crappy pc. do you know if ubuntu runs well on 256 MB RAM?

<bordy> nice! I forgot, did you sign up on the launchpad page? Cant' remember who everyone is

<mark007> Yeah.

<mark007> I did.

<lando> hey

<mark007> It's the minimum req

<mark007> I'm wondering if I should tell her to get Xubuntu.

<lando> i was about to mention xubuntu

<bordy> yeah, I am thinking I should prolly get me a livecd of that and edubuntu just so I know what they feel like

<lando> xubuntus minimum req. is 128 megs

<lando> actually 64 but recommends 128

<bordy> hey mark did you sign up for the mailing list?

<mark007> No, I have not.t

<bordy> do et!

* bordy shakes mark007 wildly.

<mark007> Well, xubuntu it is then...it's sad because I'll be seeing her April 14th so 7.04 won't be out yet.

<mark007> And she's on dialup, so dling the cd isn't realistic

<bordy> ew. dl it for her

<mark007> Heheh...well I won't see her again till way later than the 19th.

<mark007> So I'll have to give 6.10

<bordy> I would almost recommend to give out 6.06 since it is the last LTS available, and then once she gets comfortable walk her through the upgrade

<bordy> mark007: btw, check out https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-fl

<bordy> ;)

<mark007> LTS?

<bordy> long term support

<bordy> Alright gents, I am off to bed.

<lando> locobot_4:

<lando> i wonder

<lando> ,locobot

<lando> locobot_4: help

<mark007> I already have, bordy. Calm down :)

<mark007> Compiz is yet again acting weird

<lando> whats the prob?

<mark007> Well, have have a total of 16 desktops

<mark007> Because ctrl alt left/right takes me to a new set of four desktops that I can use by clicking on them.

<lando> yikes

<mark007> So I have my cube, and then each part of the cube has four dekstops.

<mark007> Quite odd

<mark007> I have*

<lando> yea that is wierd

<lando> i couldnt use compiz for more than a couple days at a time. i got sick of it real quick

<mark007> Heheh...well, there's one thing I really like.

<mark007> When you hit ctrl alt right at the fourth desktop you go to the first.

<mark007> I can't find a setting anywhere in gnome to enable you to do that

<lando> oh

<lando> yea fluxbox does that ... hehhe i just tested it to make sure

<mark007> Yeah, I like fluxbox.

<lando> i have it set up so i can change desktops just like gnome

<mark007> I used to use it.

<lando> what i did was install ubuntu-server edgy and built up from there

<mark007> Cool

<lando> if im ever feeling clicky i fire up vmware and fullscreen it

<mark007> For what OS?

<mark007> VMWare runs so slow...

<mark007> I got a free copy of Workstation

<mark007> Very nice :)

<lando> yea its nice

<mark007> Normally $189.00

<lando> mine doesnt run slow though

<mark007> They had a workshop at UF

<lando> how much ram do u have?

<mark007> 1G

<lando> same here

<mark007> 1.6 GHz

<lando> ive got an amd64 3700

<mark007> Nice

<lando> im thinking about getting an cheap old laptop and see how well i can make it run with linux

<lando> for shits and giggles

<lando> just found out what the locobot does

<mark007> What?

<mark007> Well, lando, I believe it's time for bed :)
