(09:45:00 PM) kb3ui: Who is burke-bear? What happened to Teddy?

(09:45:17 PM) kb3ui: Oh, I see, Teddy is here, too!

(09:45:28 PM) teddy-dbear: I'm still here

(09:59:54 PM) kb3ui: Me, too - multitasking!

(10:00:22 PM) kb3ui: How do I find in what folder an application should be - e.g. TightVNC ?

(10:00:56 PM) kb3ui: Trying to run my Everex remotely over my LAN, but can't find TightVNC on the Everex

(10:01:13 PM) jedijf: locate tight

(10:01:24 PM) kb3ui: Good evening, Jim!

(10:01:29 PM) jedijf: good evening

(10:01:29 PM) kb3ui: Will try it.

(10:01:54 PM) jedijf: stop

(10:02:12 PM) jedijf: you want to vnc in you need to setup the server

(10:02:49 PM) jedijf: everex needs to be server - machine you are on in client

(10:04:13 PM) jedijf: kb3ui, pen terminal and type vncserver

(10:04:33 PM) kb3ui: But in Linux, what makes a machine a server. not like Windows with different OS for server.

(10:04:36 PM) kb3ui: pen terminal ?

(10:04:57 PM) kb3ui: What do you mean by "pen terminal"?

(10:05:19 PM) kb3ui: My computer has a keyboard - don't communicate with it with pen and paper :)

(10:06:15 PM) kb3ui: I think you meant "open terminal"

(10:06:22 PM) kb3ui: That's what I'm doing.

(10:07:32 PM) jedijf: hold on -

(10:07:41 PM) jedijf: reading that gos has always on vncserver

(10:07:44 PM) jedijf: sit tight

(10:09:36 PM) kb3ui: Ok. vncserver gives me message telling me that I have to install tightvncserver, though.

(10:09:50 PM) jedijf: type netstat -l

(10:10:01 PM) jedijf: and see if anything is listening on 5900

(10:10:18 PM) kb3ui: ok brb

(10:10:56 PM) jedijf: or netstat -ant

(10:11:04 PM) jedijf: look for 5900 or 5800

(10:13:32 PM) kb3ui: invalid option --l

(10:13:35 PM) kb3ui: for nstat -l

(10:13:46 PM) jedijf: netstat -ant

(10:13:48 PM) kb3ui: will try netstat -ant now

(10:15:08 PM) kb3ui: doesn't have either 5900 or 5800.

(10:15:23 PM) jedijf: locate vncserv

(10:15:29 PM) kb3ui: brb

(10:15:36 PM) jedijf: see if its already there

(10:16:30 PM) kb3ui: just get a prompt back.

(10:19:00 PM) jedijf: try this

(10:19:09 PM) jedijf: locate X11vnc

(10:19:17 PM) kb3ui: ok brb

(10:20:16 PM) kb3ui: just get a prompt back for locate X11vnc

(10:21:07 PM) jedijf: looks like you need to install a vncserver

(10:21:24 PM) kb3ui: Ok. Should be no problem.

(10:21:42 PM) kb3ui: How are you doing, Jim?

(10:21:57 PM) jedijf: ok dokey, how about you

(10:22:07 PM) kb3ui: Me too! Happy New Year!

(10:22:14 PM) jedijf: you also

(10:22:31 PM) kb3ui: Thanks!

(10:23:37 PM) jedijf: spending a little time with a couple of projects - dsl linux for a loco project and ubuntu studio for my son

(10:32:07 PM) kb3ui: dsl linux?

(10:32:13 PM) jedijf: yep

(10:33:26 PM) kb3ui: Oh, "Darned Small Linux". Got it!

(10:33:51 PM) kb3ui: Does that use version 2.4 of the kernel? Supposed to be smaller than 2.6.

(10:34:55 PM) jedijf: dsl uses 2.4 dsl-n uses 2.6

(10:35:18 PM) kb3ui: dsl-n - that's something new to me! Not surprised.

(10:35:34 PM) kb3ui: dsl vs. Puppy Linux ??

(10:35:36 PM) jedijf: a little larger and more modern

(10:36:08 PM) jedijf: i have a box with both - dual boot for comparison that will be at pacs in cafe

(10:36:21 PM) kb3ui: Kind of a compromise. Would be great to compare them.

(10:36:22 PM) jedijf: 166 mgz 32 megs ram

(10:36:51 PM) kb3ui: 32 Megs is pretty good!

(10:49:32 PM) jedijf: night all

(10:49:36 PM) jedijf left the room (quit: "Time to make the donuts.").

(10:59:02 PM) teddy-dbear: are we done yet?

(11:01:17 PM) norm77: Looks like it.

(11:02:37 PM) teddy-dbear: can we go bowling now?

(11:04:30 PM) norm77: Goodnight, Randy.

(11:05:02 PM) rmg: Goodnight Norm

(11:05:10 PM) norm77 left the room (quit: "Goodnight all!").
