Thanks, I guess I'll try that then. :popcorn:

All USB ports are broken, as is the CD drive.

I could swap out the hard drive, but my only alternative is a PC with a totally different architecture (AMD instead of Intel, etc.). Wouldn't that...

Yes, thanks. That's what I'm trying to do. ;)

However, I DO NOT have an external device available on that particular computer. :( So it has to be done without a CD or USB stick.

Hi,
strange question, I know:
All I have available is a 7.04 installation, which, when I try the Update Manager, says:


I guess the sources.list is hopelessly outdated, but is there ANY way I...

Wow, that worked flawlessly! :D
I tried this before, but with CuteFTP, which was throwing me all kinds of errors. But with Filezilla everything worked right away. It's not a solution that involves...

Hi,
I'm trying to access my files on my Ubuntu Server via the Internet (Windows machine). SSH, LAMP, etc. works, I just can't get vsftpd to work with SSL enabled. :(

...it does work (at least...

After I logged in xfce4, I simply ran it again and while I couldn't unlock the window the first time, I ran it a second time and then it worked.

Clearly there is a bug somewhere and it is not the...

Just an update:
While I never got it to work with IceWM, installing xfce4 and using gdm worked flawlessly. Too bad, I really liked IceWM, but there were just to many things that did not work...

Thanks for your reply!

Sadly, I am not ready to compile packages and I don't really everything that is being said the gdm manual.

All I see that I can do for now is that they fix this somehow,...

Hi,
I installed 9.10 Server + IceWM. What I would like now is to start IceWM automatically with a certain user and also shut down the computer when I log off. For this, GDM was suggested to me but...

I know it is not the most efficient way, but overall I can live with it since the only realy additional cost is added electricity - and that is marginal at best (actually the Linux setup uses more...

If I connect to SSH and, for example, start Firefox, a new instance will open. Yes, the calculations will be done on the server, but as soon as I close the SSH connection, this instance will also be...

I'm sorry, I don't understand. :redface:

Are you saying that I could configure VNC in a way so that IceWM starts when I connect? Sorry, I'm still an Ubuntu newbie. I would still want aMule and...

I also want to log in automatically.

Why is there no need to run the GUI locally? I want to be able my girlfriend (and me) to be able to use Firefox and the other apps on the server. I know there...

Hi,
I finished installing my Ubuntu home server (9.04 + IceWM) and I would like to be able to control it via VNC. I installed the tightvncserver and ran it. It asked me for a password and that was...

Never mind, I got it:
http://www.icewm.org/FAQ/IceWM-FAQ-4.html

Interestingly, adding items in the menu and toolbar (= taskbar) has some weird side effects (some menu entries disappeared, others...

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to add applications (like Firefox) to the taskbar of IceWM (and if so, how to do it).

I tried Google and the IceWM help, but the latter only talked about...

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a server (I have used XP for this until now) and since I want my girlfriend to be able to control it with VNC (so she can comfortably control aMule and Transmission with a...

Thank you for your replies!

I actually use Bluefish now, but I'm not that happy with it (because of the lacking code completion). I have just tried NetBeans (with the necessary plug-in), but don't...

Hi,
so far I have used Dreamweaver, but I'm looking for a Linux alternative. Since I do not work on HTML all the time, I admit that I do rely heavily on Dreamweavers code completion (eg. <ta ->...

I just realized there is obviously another problem with the solution from above:
The clients have to be running their computer as well while the program is running.

How do I make it that...

@slakkie: Thank you for your reply! I have googled for X forwarding and managed to run aMule from my other computer. :)

Alright, this might sound stupid but I have some questions about this:
If I...

Hi,
even though I'm still pretty new at Ubuntu, I'm trying to slowly replace my Win2k server (WAMP + torrent + eMule + shared directories). So far users connect via VNC to take control of the...

That is not true! All you get is a tar.bz2 file which contains a readme that directs me back to the Mozilla download page. :P

Thank you. This is EXACTLY the kind of attitude that frustrates people who have not bought into the Ubuntu/Linux idea. What you are essentially saying is: "We know better what you want and what you...
