I'm switching over to Ubuntu from Slackware and was just reading up on the differences between desktop and server. My main question is if I can still setup an x-server on the server box. If I can what do I need to do to make it as easy as possible.
View 4 Replieswhat the actual differences are between the different versions?Is it simply in the interface or does netbook have different services running by default, different hardware detection or anything else that makes the system run any differently? I know netbook doesn't have compiz installed by default but is the rest of the package set the same? I ask because I have been having various problems with boot and audio along with a few other niggles. I was running the desktop edition through the betas and the RC with no problems at all but I installed lucid final from a netbook edition iso and have done two more fresh installs from netbook iso and seem to be having a lot more issues.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am struggling to get my wireless usb working on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Server 10.04, but it works just fine on a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. So I am trying to work out what's causing the discrepancy. I know the Server version is a "minimal install" of Ubuntu, so something must be missing that affects its overall abilities.
I am planning to compare the file system of a totally fresh Desktop version with a Server version - and would appreciate as much additional brain-power as possible to assist in the plan/execution of what I should be comparing. I hope this will throw up a solution as to what is NOT installed/configured on the Server version that prevents my wireless from working. [It will teach me a lot as well ] COMPARISON PLANAll programs installed on both file systems (looking for differences) Program differences which affect network setup and related hardware (I'm not sure of what this list should have on it) Related configuration files which might affect connectivity (same here - not sure what configures what at this stage)
* Do $lsmod to look for installed wireless drivers Miscellaneous tests
* Disable security on wireless router to see if security config is the cause I'm not sure if the kernel build will be different and if so how to establish this... but somehow wonder if this affects the outcome
If anyone is willing to assist in filling out the gaps in this plan I would really appreciate it. Or maybe there is a better way?

We are using 10.2 in our ASP environment and we want to upgrade and regression test 11.3, I was wondering if any linux experts our there can give me a rundown on the differences between the two versions.

View 2 Replies View Relateddifferences between Kernel Default and Kernel Desktop? I've found some past threads like this link and this other link, and some other google info, which suggest the only difference would be the io scheduler. Also, I see the default grub choice is "Desktop" and not "Default", so I take this as a suggestion to prefer one over the other.
However, my broadcom 4312 wireless only works on the "default" and not on the "desktop" kernel, so I guess there must be other differences. I just want to evaluate which one is the less long-term risk option to go.

Seen as my ATI driver doesn't support Ubuntu 9.10 and neither does LinuxMCE [my two biggest bug bears at the moment] I am considering downgrading to Ubuntu 8.10.
I just wondered if there were any major differences or if I am likely to see any major issues because of things that were fixed or added to 9.10 that weren't available in 8.10.
is it would be possible create a Ubuntu dvd that contains the ubuntu server desktop and alternate install opptions, as well as all four main desktop environments (gnome, kde, xfce, lxde) and unity. since much of the data is redundant between each version cd's it would probably all fit on one disk. then all that would be needed is two disks one for 32 bit and another for 64 bit. i really think that this could work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen in the forums people prefer or dislike Gnome/KDE. I looked around and the differences seem to be cosmetic and not that complicated. Are there any differences "under the hood"? What I mean by this is maybe the way programs behave, user options, etc. or is it all cosmetic?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am not having a problem but I was just wondering, now that 10.10 launch is coming nearer, whether or not to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. 10.4 is working fine and the only real reason for me to upgrade would be a better boot time (is there a better boot time with 10.10?) ... or am I missing an other important reason?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a slight problem here, and have had it for a while: When I use the "Sharp'N'Clear" .fonts.conf from Here, and set an optimized font like Arial, gtk-based applications render correctly, while Qt-based ones don't As you can see, the top window(Firefox) has it's fonts clean and nice. The bottom one(Dolphin) does not. Both are set to Arial 9. I've tried it with a number of different applications, including some custom PyQt4 stuff, and it's clear that it's -all- Qt-based applications and not just one or two.
For further information, I've had this problem ever since I upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 a while back - That version worked correctly on both Qt and gtk, but nothing since has.
I'm just wondering if there's a page out there that lists the improvements and other changes to Ubuntu from Maverick to Natty.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow do I get compose keys to work the same in qt, x apps like xterm, and gtk apps ? -- seems like a simple enough question right? it's not.I followed the instructions here: eKey and that worked, sort of. but I notice some differences. gnome and gtk apps get a different set of compose keys than qt and apps like xedit, xterm, etc. After finding that first wiki page and going through it I foundwhat appears to happen is that, however xim actually returns compose keys to gnome, gnome behaves as if:
1. it first reads the /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir and finds the compose file for you locale.
2. it loads those compose key definitions.
3. it loads and overwrites previous definitions with ~/.XCompose definitions, but

I'm thinking of trying out opensuse for a while. However, I'm used to Ubuntu so I'd like to know what the major differences are between the two distros. Hopefully, that will allow me to make a better comparison. I'm not talking about differences like "this is more 'polished' than that" or " this looks cooler than that".. I want to if there are differences in the file system... the software..
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a proprietary device - something like an iPad screen - which has a front panel display with touchscreen buttons that work internally as a USB keyboard. During testing/debugging I want to connect it to another keyboard via the external USB port.Any application which I open on the device by pressing some characters on the touchscreen accepts input codes from either USB keyboard. I want to limit the touchscreen USB keyboard input only to a specific set of apps.Is there a program which can help me detect which USB port or device the code is coming from? Or someway I can map one keyboard to send a different set of codes? The device is using Linux.

I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?
I was wondering what are the main difference with these two languages? I mean besides just the syntax, only recently started looking at pascal. I find the syntax of Pascal nicer than C. So under the hood so to speak what are the differences? Also why do i see many look down at Pascal? Since C and C++ now are in more use than pascal, im guessing it offers something that Pascal and Object Pascal cant?
