I abandoned Ubuntu around the 9.04 release - I didn't like where it was heading at that point, and it seems my impression was correct. At this point my preferred distro is openSUSE, and gotta say that 13.1 has impressed the hell out of me. The KDE spin of 13.1 runs like a champ on my Acer netbook, and screams on the other machines I've put it on.

I have a weird question that I hope someone can answer. I just transitioned (completely) over to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from Windows 8.1 on my Lenovo laptop. On Windows 8.1, I had a program that came with the laptop that allowed me to switch between full battery charging and a "battery life saver mode" that kept it at 60%. When I switched over, it was on that 60% mode. Now, I am in Linux and my battery is stuck at 60%. Is there some sort of batter management program or some way that I can change the battery back to normal charging? I don't want to be stuck at 60% forever, and the only other "fix" I know of would be to do a system restore to get back to Windows 8.1 and get that setting changed.

But the constant errors popping up with no indication as to what is causing them and the various other little things that I found annoying made me jump ship after getting settled into Linux. Jumped to Mint which is, in my mind, much more polished than Ubuntu is then over to Arch Linux. I like having packages that aren't tampered with. Plus the AUR is loving amazing.

Either you have to double click twice on everything OR you have to be single click on everything. There's apparently no setting that copies the Mac/Win behaviours of double click a file but single click a control panel item.

And my second problem: I disabled my touchpad last night by going into the mouse options and disabling it. Today I went to enable it, and there's no option any more in the mouse options. Lenovo Z400 touch, and I'm on Ubuntu 14.04. I've heard that you can type "xinput list" in the terminal, see what the touchpad is, and turn it back on, but I don't have any touchpad listed when I do that. This is a bit ridiculous :-/

Riso posted:What I don't like about KDE is the mouse behaviour. Either you have to double click twice on everything OR you have to be single click on everything. About the only place I actually see that behavior show up is in the KDE control panel - the main system panel in openSUSE, YaST, runs with single clicks like in Windows. I personally hate having the file browser in any OS react to single clicks, so always set the default to require double clicks. Just checked on this machine, which is running openSUSE 12.3 because I haven't bothered migrating it to 13.1 yet - it's crazy-fast as it is right now, and it's my main desktop, so I've been putting off doing what is currently an unnecessary upgrade.

However, Xorg should autodetect it, and in my case, saying "please Xorg please load it anyway" made no difference. May be worth leaving it powered off for 30 minutes, sometimes laptop manufacturers store dumb things in semi-persistent memory and expect their bundled crapware to send the magic awakening signal to the firmware.

I work at a University, and for various reasons we're looking for a VDI type solution for students to be able to access a Linux desktop from their personal machines. I know it all sounds a little bit silly since Xforwarding exists but this is the charge, so I'd rather not dwell on it too much. So I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas for products. I'm trying to find one that works the best, and these are what I've come up with: QVD (true VDI using kvm or LXC) NoMachine NX Server (one implementation of NX protocol) 2X NX Server (another NX implementation, though they may not offer a product that does what we want) X2Go (Another NX type implementation, seeing a pattern here?) FastX (Made by Starnet, the makers of XWin32, it's based on the RDP protocol) There requirements are fairly loose. We want students to be able to access the same enviroment as if they were sitting down at a machine in one of our computer labs. We will spread this out over multiple physical servers, but we want there to be a single connection broker or bastion server or something that they connect to. We'd also like them to be able to disconnect from a session and reconnect to it at a later time. We are willing to spend money on this, so basically price is not an issue. So far FastX and X2Go are in the lead, but I'm wondering if anybody has ideas for any other products/projects I should be looking at before I make a decision/recommendation?

I *think* this is a solution to my battery charging problem, if I can translate it:quote:Actualy the sony notebook utilites doesnt have battery care function which is interesting since normaly it would have it. But eatherway I did try something out and basicly I took the battery and AC out and press and hold the power button for like 20 sec and I tired installing Ubuntu without the battery and it seemed like it did charge fully which is strange but maybe I didn't need to press the power button and hold it for 20 sec maybe it was that I had to remove the battery before installing Ubuntu again. But I did once install Win 7 again but still had problem so that's why I thought maybe if I remove the battery and install Ubuntu again it would fix it and it did. But I' am still testing it so make sure it will keep charging at 100% from now on. But maybe it fixed because I holded the power button. edit: Went into bios, did "Load optimized defaults," and I think that fixed it. Now to fix this touchpad issue, and I'm golden. the fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Apr 27, 2014 |

Ok this question might be too esoteric but I'm trying to set up a strongswan VPN server on a small arm computer I have running a modified Ubuntu distro called picuntu. I can successfully set up pptpd and use it's pptp server, but strongswan is unwilling. This is the error I get when I restart IPsec. This is strongswan version 4.5.2. code:

From googling this sounds like a problem with a missing kernel module. Does that sound right? Since I'm on a weirdo arm computer is the likelihood that I wont' be able to add the module I need? Naffer fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Apr 27, 2014 |

Possibly, does strongswan have a higher logging level you can set? Also check dmesg to see if it's trying to insert modules or w/e.

These days I'd be looking into a solution that could ideally be used by both iPads and Chromebooks, in addition to Windows/Mac/Linux machines. That's probably pushing into the VNC or maybe RDP territory. I don't know what kind of machines students really carry around anymore. But in our post-PC world, it's probably no longer safe to assume that everyone has a Windows/Mac laptop/desktop.

Here are the two relevant portions: You can still build modules from sources for your kernel version. Output of "ipsec version"? That'll tell us whether it's userland or in-kernel ipsec Nvm: kernel netfilter. Install build-essential and kernel sources. Look at /proc/ for config.gz or /boot/config... Copy it to /usr/src/linux/.config and cd there. make oldconfig && make menuconfig. make && make modules_install. Modprobe it. You may want to ask on the strongswan lists. Or, if you're not tied to it, use racoon, or openswan+l2tp. I can provide configs for racoon+xl2tpd if you want them evol262 fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Apr 28, 2014 |

How do I use telnet to view directories and files on a remote server? I've telnet'd in to a remote. But I can't find much useful to do at the "telnet>" prompt since I can't even use "ls" or the windows "dir" or anything to even see which directory I'm in.

But I can't find much useful to do at the "telnet>" prompt since I can't even use "ls" or the windows "dir" or anything to even see which directory I'm in. You use SSH. The "telnet>" prompt is equivalent to plain nslookup returning a prompt. An actual telnet session will give you "login: " like a physical console, followed by the invocation of a shell and the normal "#" or "$" or "[user@host] " or whatever PS1 prompt. You almost certainly haven't actually telnetted in, since nobody should be using telnet in 2014, and there are 99% odds that telnetd is disabled or not even installed. Unless it's a UPS, switch, or something else which commonly uses telnet. In which case you should look up the docs for JunOS or iOS or APC's OS or whatever, because you're actually logged into a totally different operating system which doesn't use the commands you're used to.
