I know how to start a screen, and how to list different screens:
screen -ls
or to attach:
There are screens on:
2477.pts-0.server1 (Detached)
2522.pts-0.server1 (Detached)
2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.
$ screen -r 2477.pts-0.server1
But what is the key combination to detach from a screen session and keep it running?
I am trying to install lubuntu on an old laptop. I use the 386 alternate instalation of it, because it has only 256mb ... All when ok so when I start up the lubuntu the screen splits between 1024x768 and 800x600... its very horrible to use =).
Ok I do this:
lspci
and found an ATI Rage mobility M3.

I'm using Lubuntu for a while now, but found a couple of details that I wanted to view with Unity (that's another story).
Ok, the thing is: I've tried on a VM with Lubuntu to install Unity (sudo apt-get install unity) When the installation is over. I selected in the Lubuntu login Unity/Unity2D but did not work.
Right now I'm installing ubuntu-desktop, I am presuming that will work, but also it will change my login for example.
Is there a way to do a "clean" installation of Unity but not make major changes on my Lubuntu?
I would prefer Gnome-Shell instead of Unity.
I want to change the icons on the lubuntu desktop.
I want to have thunerbird minimized when I turn on the laptops.
when I do this: vi /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart and added @thunderbird every time I turned it on a popup apear say that thunderbird is already running... but it works just fine.
When I do a ssh to an OpenSuse machine and use yast I have to use tab intead of alt+y for help for example, I don't know what else to say...
My question is how to set up this to have a propper xterm console.
additin:xterm and/or LXterminal maybe this one has some features to add, really don't know.
I want to see smaller pop-ups but where have I to go to configure this?
I was trying Gnome Shell (in openSuse) and found out that when I do the old ALT + F2 and the old execute command is now a small black space to complete... I want that on Lubuntu.
Somebody know how to do that?
Is there a way to change the rotation angle of a video file?
I have a couple of videos in the wrong direction so all I wanted is to correct it.
I am trying to make Apache Directory Studio run on lubuntu... directory.apache.org/studio/
Some time ago I just download it unpaket it and run it... all in ubuntu 8.10.
But now how can I do this?
If I double click on th e file nothing happens.
in english " ApacheDirectoryStudio: can't execute the binary file"
Let's say I want to install something big... (kde for example) but I'm doing it in a place with a very poor internet conection, so I want to stop it, and doing it later. But I don't want to start all over again. Can it be done?
Like gnome Control + alt + L
In Lxde how can i do that? What I have to intall to do this?
thanks
--searching for a solution on my own but...
ok if I do alt+f2 and type xscreensaver-command -lock that's a small solution. tryed to do an small script but it's not working..
this is what I do
vi lock.sh
#!/bin/bash
xscreensaver-command -lock
exit 0
chmod +x lock.sh
but this doesnt work.. ideas?
I've got this files:
/referencias$ ls | grep .dbf

construcciones.dbf
espejo_de_agua.dbf
manchas_urbanas.dbf
