=== ben1u is now known as benlu [15:42] Hi.. Can anyone tip me of for info on how to change color in the digital clock in lxpanel? [15:43] I found it! [17:40] pretty impressive work lubuntu guys [22:25] hey all [22:38] was debating whether to use xubuntu or lubuntu [22:45] hi, I edited crontab with crontab -e, now are the crontabs automatically launched ? [22:49] mathi: yes, cron checks every minute if there is something to do [22:50] can I use a bash file ? [22:50] it doesn't work .. :( [22:50] mathi: if you have cron running, that is :) [22:51] well i edited crontab -e, and I rebooted [22:51] it should be running ? [22:51] run this to check: ps ax | grep cron [22:54] i see cron running [22:56] mathi: ok, now, is your bash script executable? if it's not: chmod +x /your/script [22:58] gomiboy, if I modify my crontab, i need to reboot computer to reload the file ? [22:59] no, as said cron will check the crontab every minute to see if there is somethin to do [23:01] gomiboy, ok, I created a bash script that launches Teamviewer [23:01] hey all [23:01] gomiboy, if I launch it from command line, it works perfectly [23:01] gomiboy, but if cron tries to execute it [23:01] hardware support in lubuntu vs xubuntu should be the same, correct? [23:01] Teamviewer won't launch [23:01] gomiboy, any idea why ? [23:03] mathi: Teamviewer is something like vnc? a remote graphic terminal? [23:03] gomiboy, yes [23:03] why the cron would fail to laod it ? [23:03] genoobie: yes, same kernel, same hardware support [23:04] 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... [23:05] gomiboy, so what's the solution to this ? :-) [23:06] gomiboy, indeed, how can I launched it on behalf of a specific user ?? [23:09] mathi: try in your script something like: su - yourusername -c /path/to/teamviewer [23:09] but i don't know if it will be sufficient... [23:26] mathi: i made some tests, just use this: DISPLAY=:0 /path/to/teamviewer [23:30] gomiboy, for some reason, cron can't execute the command [23:30] gomiboy, it works with su - [23:30] but only from command line [23:30] strange [23:38] mathi: something else is wrong... check the logs: tail /var/log/syslog [23:52] mathi: it's late here, my bed is calling me, someone else will help you. bye :) [23:52] see you, thank you for the help
