[08:58] -_- [10:21] Morning === lukjad007 is now known as lukjad86 [11:55] Does anyone of you know if I am able to start a daemon with a parameter? Say I have a program that I can start with the command "programname -parameter" and I want to start that program as a daemon, I know that I can do "/etc/init.d/programname start", but am I also able to start the daemon with the parameter, then? [11:58] You make a file /etc/default/programname, in there you put something like OPTIONS=-parameter then you source that from the init script and add $OPTIONS to the programs argument list. [11:59] That's how I've generally seen it done at least. [12:01] Okay, I'll try this out. Thanks. [12:04] Look at /etc/default/ntp and /etc/init.d/ntp for an example. [12:05] I think I'm missing that program, as those files do not exist in my computer. ^^ [12:06] Ah, I thought that got installed by default. [12:06] I'm having a look at /etc/init.d/lm-sensors [12:06] I think that's also a good example [12:06] Or what do you think? [12:06] Don't know, I don't have that one ^^ [12:06] :D [12:07] Okay, lm-sensors was a bad idea since it does not have a file in /etc/default/ [12:14] hello [12:14] how ar u? [12:14] please, i have a simple question concerning a very minor issue [12:15] I am using Ubuntu 9.10, and open office.org 3.1.1. [12:16] When am trying to export my .odt file to a pdf, i am seeing that the security tab is disabled [12:16] how to enable that tab? [12:16] any ideas? [12:16] or suggestions? [12:17] [the security tab in the PDF option during the export] [12:17] I'm not very familiar with openoffice ... is the security tab enabled when you convert a different format to pdf? [12:17] well it was working when i had 9.04 [12:18] after the upgrade it is not [12:18] no i tried it now under .doc, the same thing [12:18] it is still disabled [12:19] is this a problem of java? [12:19] or something like a plugin? [12:20] though java is installed by default under 9.10 i think, anyway it is installed on mine [12:20] I do have a security tab here, I'm also running Ubuntu 9.10 [12:20] I don't think java is involved [12:21] is it also disabled? [12:21] i don't know [12:21] i was just guessing [12:21] No, there are two buttons in the security tab, and the rest is greyed out [12:22] well for me everything is grayed out [12:23] i can't apply any settings within the security tab [12:23] :( [12:23] are u using KDE or GNOME? [12:23] I am using Gnome [12:23] The rest is enabled once I set a access password. [12:24] Gnome, yes [12:24] access password? [12:24] The second button. It's translated to my native language. I probably didn't use the right term when I translated it back ;) [12:26] but i can't set that, the whole page is disabled. with Gray, are you talking about the security tab or different tab? [12:26] The security tab. [12:27] yeah, everything is disabled there not even the first two buttons [12:27] :( [12:27] do u think i should go to an IRC of open office or something? [12:27] is there any irc for open office? [12:28] http://www.hotvasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/security-tab.gif [12:28] That's roughly how it looks for me [12:28] (Just googled for images) [12:29] http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/IRC_Communication#IRC_Network:_Freenode_.28irc.freenode.net.29 [12:31] http://picturepush.com/public/3236293 [12:31] here is mine [12:31] :( [12:31] Hm.

[19:35] Gene, interesting. Let me think that over real quick. [19:35] paultag: Hey. Yes, I thought it could be useful and, not at last, polite. [19:35] Gene, do you have any other devices on USB or PS/2 ? [19:35] man0riaX, naturlich ;) [19:36] only keyboard and mouse [19:36] Gene, Interesting. Hold on [19:36] Gene, I had this issue, but enabling USB Keyboards via BIOS fixed it for me. Let me look into this deeper [19:37] man0riaX, Woher kommst du aus Deutschland? ( kann ich duzen? ) [19:38] paultag: Natürlich darfst du duzen. Ich komme aus der Nähe von Siegen, wenn dir das etwas sagt. :) [19:39] man0riaX, Nein, aber ich kann dass googlen ;) -- Ich habe studert aus München als ich 16 war :) [19:40] Gene, Have you tried legacy USB support?

Maybe I will visit Canada, though, since there's a friend of mine living there [19:48] yes, but i'm learnin with you [19:48] paultag, no problem! can't expect people to know this crap [19:48] pedro3005, No, that's not right. I'm sorry, I won't make that mistake again [19:48] grasias pedro [19:49] man0riaX, Have you done your Civeldienst ( or however it's spelled ) ?

I'm trying to move some files from teh linux machine to the windows 7. [21:22] does anybody know any good links? [21:22] by the way, I'm using server edition ubuntu, so everything needs to be executable from teh command line [21:29] I've got two boxes, one set up as a LAMP. the desktop box can see the LAMP box in places, but not through the web browser. Why? [21:32] hello ghostofmybrain_ [21:33] hello [21:36] ghostofmybrain_: I would use ssh [21:36] ghostofmybrain_: you can use the 'scp' command [21:37] ghostofmybrain_: you can use Putty to set up SSH on windows [21:38] scp command is something like: scp greenmist.jpg 21.151.12.21: [21:43] but i have a secure key-pair between the two computers. you can use something like this to add username and destination directory 'scp a.file me@remote-server.com:remote.file' [21:55] thanks. [22:23] Can I ask a question about Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 or do I need to wait until it's released? [22:23] mj8741: ask away [22:24] Well, I tried the live cd - using nvidia geforce 6150 le graphics card - just blank screen. I'm just hoping that will work when final 10.04 comes out. [22:25] It works on a friends computer with ati card. I hope they still support nvidia cards. [22:27] Guess I should just wait until the final 10.04 is out. Must be lots of people using nvidia - doubt ubuntu would not support it. [22:27] duanedesign: can you walk me through using ssh? [22:29] do I need to change any sort of firewall type settings? I can see teh computer on my windows machine, but I can't access it [22:31] drubin - guess I was just afraid I would not be able to use ubuntu 10.04 - [22:34] ghostofmybrain_: http://www.sharms.org/blog/2009/07/05/connecting-to-ubuntu-from-windows/ [22:34] you will need to install PuTTY on your windows box [22:37] mj8741: it might work if you install it [22:38] remeber the alternate cd doesn't always install all proprietary drivers and stuff [22:39] drubin: yeah, you're right. I was just going to take a look at it via live cd... no big deal. I'll just wait. 9.04 works fine for me for now... Thanks [22:43] duanedesign: oohhh, that's pretty spiffy. [23:49] What will be the code name for 10.10? [23:50] running_rabbit07: Maverick Meerkat [23:50] Seriously? Kool =)
