Good morning all,
I have a new, novice Debian user running the XFCE desktop on his PC. I
would like to be able to share his desktop to me so that I can see
what he is seeing and offer instruction and advice. I have used VNC to
connect to a different X screens, but I'm not sure how to arrange
thing

Good afternoon,
This morning I had the mis-fortune of creating a dual-boot system with

a machine that already had windows installed on. I installed a second hard

Good morning,
Can anyone help me understand why the following two console commands each
produce output, but only one of them produces output when both are called in a
shell script?

This is part of the smartmontools package. Took me a sec to find it, and I

OK, I feel dumb. I was just setting up a VM, and the output of xrandr is
similar.

Good evening all,
I have been trying to get a dual monitor set-up working, and am getting no where
with this, so it is time to request help.
I have a Dell Precision T5500 with dual video cards, and I would like to have
one large screen spread across the two monitors. The graphics cards are nVidi
size. Please configure your mailer to send

Sheesh, of course you saw my post, you were replying to it. That was a

Installing qemu-kvm and a guest on a remote system is turning into an absolute

Hello list;
First of all, this is a duplicate of a posting I made on the XFCE Desktop
forum, with one update. I have not received a reply there, so I figured I'd
give this list a shot, especially since this is probably not XFCE related.
I am working with a clean install of Debian Squeeze, with
