Do I need to provide more information? I'm not really even sure to look for this. Thanks.
So, I haven't sshed into my server in awhile. Just did an upgrade, and now whenever I try to use vim I get the error in the title. I don't know if vim worked beforehand, but I'm honstely clueless...
That's pretty high. I'd look through the processes and see what is causing that 15% eating up. A good linux installation should only take 1-5% CPU when idle (no windows up or programs running).
Simply type
top into a terminal and you'll get a list of all the processes, and I think the default is sorted by %CPU. Then either use the kill option inside top, or remember the PID of the...
Perhaps I'm missing something by skimming, but I don't see why all the talk about remounting your home folder somewhere else. I'd use gparted to find more details on what inside that 25gb partition...
You can also set the Windows partition to default and set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT to true so that way the grub menu doesn't even show unless you push a button. Check out this article for more details...

You need to mount it to use it. First, make a new directory: (note: caps mean don't quote, something to figure out on your own)

Well, I'm ok with Fluxbox being on there ;-)

If you don't have a login screen you're probably missing gdm... try reinstalling that:

Since that is the GNOME login manager.

I use ssh to get access to my Ubuntu server when I'm away. It won't give you remote desktop functionality per se, it only gives you the command line, but that should be enough depending on what...
