| jirido | Hi.. Can anyone tip me of for info on how to change color in the digital clock in lxpanel? | 15:42 |
|---|---|---|
| jirido | I found it! | 15:43 |
| billytwowilly | pretty impressive work lubuntu guys | 17:40 |
| genoobie | hey all | 22:25 |
| genoobie | was debating whether to use xubuntu or lubuntu | 22:38 |
| mathi | hi, I edited crontab with crontab -e, now are the crontabs automatically launched ? | 22:45 |
| gomiboy | mathi: yes, cron checks every minute if there is something to do | 22:49 |
| mathi | can I use a bash file ? | 22:50 |
| mathi | it doesn't work .. :( | 22:50 |
| gomiboy | mathi: if you have cron running, that is :) | 22:50 |
| mathi | well i edited crontab -e, and I rebooted | 22:51 |
| mathi | it should be running ? | 22:51 |
| gomiboy | run this to check: ps ax | grep cron | 22:51 |
| mathi | i see cron running | 22:54 |
| gomiboy | mathi: ok, now, is your bash script executable? if it's not: chmod +x /your/script | 22:56 |
| mathi | gomiboy, if I modify my crontab, i need to reboot computer to reload the file ? | 22:58 |
| gomiboy | no, as said cron will check the crontab every minute to see if there is somethin to do | 22:59 |
| mathi | gomiboy, ok, I created a bash script that launches Teamviewer | 23:01 |
| genoobie | hey all | 23:01 |
| mathi | gomiboy, if I launch it from command line, it works perfectly | 23:01 |
| mathi | gomiboy, but if cron tries to execute it | 23:01 |
| genoobie | hardware support in lubuntu vs xubuntu should be the same, correct? | 23:01 |
| mathi | Teamviewer won't launch | 23:01 |
| mathi | gomiboy, any idea why ? | 23:01 |
| gomiboy | mathi: Teamviewer is something like vnc? a remote graphic terminal? | 23:03 |
| mathi | gomiboy, yes | 23:03 |
| mathi | why the cron would fail to laod it ? | 23:03 |
| gomiboy | genoobie: yes, same kernel, same hardware support | 23:03 |
| gomiboy | mathi: because cron runs as root and doesn't know nothing about the user you are logged in as, nor about your X environment, etc... | 23:04 |
| mathi | gomiboy, so what's the solution to this ? :-) | 23:05 |
| mathi | gomiboy, indeed, how can I launched it on behalf of a specific user ?? | 23:06 |
| gomiboy | mathi: try in your script something like: su - yourusername -c /path/to/teamviewer | 23:09 |
| gomiboy | but i don't know if it will be sufficient... | 23:09 |
| gomiboy | mathi: i made some tests, just use this: DISPLAY=:0 /path/to/teamviewer | 23:26 |
| mathi | gomiboy, for some reason, cron can't execute the command | 23:30 |
| mathi | gomiboy, it works with su - <username> | 23:30 |
| mathi | but only from command line | 23:30 |
| mathi | strange | 23:30 |
| gomiboy | mathi: something else is wrong... check the logs: tail /var/log/syslog | 23:38 |
| gomiboy | mathi: it's late here, my bed is calling me, someone else will help you. bye :) | 23:52 |
| mathi | see you, thank you for the help | 23:52 |
