I'm setting up VSFTPD but i dont have access to file system/home/ftp i am not able to save files that i am downloading in there.
Will that folder be the main partition just like the main home folder that has the examples and desktop directories?

If so, how would i go about getting access to the home/ftp?

or how would i change the config file in vsftp to point to another dir like the main home folder (which i can access)

[fozl]

prefix the command with "sudo".

Its all installed now and working well.

I am trying to start a JD file but its saying i need to be root.
Is there no other way around it while still being logged in as admin?

[fozl]

I'm sure you can. I've never installed VNC myself, but I assume you'll need root access (or in ubuntu terms, admin access) to do so, which you'll have.

[Datastream]

Can i not install VNC also?

[fozl]

That means all the disk space is divided by the new partition setup, it's normal.

[Datastream]

Ok i'm reinstalling now it said i had used all the space up, will that just be overwritten with the new install?

[Datastream]

I don't have the login info for the manager atm

[fozl]

Log into the Manager, click on your server and then Services > Reinstallations (top row of icons). Ubuntu Desktop will be under Linux > Ready to go.

[Datastream]

I have no data thats important on there.

How would i go about a reinstall, at least then it may fix the NX Problem

[fozl]

Did you delete the /tmp directory?

Perhaps you should consider backing-up your data via ssh and reinstall.

mktemp: cannot create temp file /tmp/nxserver_tmp.yaBV18107: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/nxserver: line 217: $TMPFILE: ambiguous redirect

I guess the nx config has been deleted now?

[Datastream]

ls: cannot access /tmp: No such file or directory

[fozl]

Prolly not worth it.

search for larger disposable files of more than a few k

"ls -lh /tmp" to see the sizes of files listed in for instance of /tmp
You may know other directories you can delete stuff from, stuff you don't need in /home for instance.

Basicaly, this is houskeeping stuff for the admin.

cpu_stats     hsperfdata_root  orbit-root      Tracker-root.17049
gconfd-admin  keyring-ASOI6t   Rr8GHx          virtual-root.4FW1VX
gconfd-root   orbit-admin      tmp.fHkhQz3747

Are they safe to delete?

[fozl]

ls /tmp, see what you're happy to dispose of, then "rm -rf /tmp/what/ya-don't-need"

/tmp is the temporary directory btw.

[Datastream]

how do i rm the /temp and /var log

[fozl]

Ok, try freeing up space in /tmp for instance, or /var/log.

[fozl]

And the result of "df -i"?

[Datastream]

I have no files on there expect wine

[fozl]

Can you free up some space on root, and try again.

[Datastream]

I can SSH into my RPS but when i NX the connection fails.

/usr/bin/nxserver: line 288: echo: write error: No space left on device

I have enabled root and was connected the other day but now i am unable to login into either account.
