Current situtation: I'm stuck with a openSUSE LiveUSB and broken GRUB on my HDD. What I want to know is, can I somehow copy the GRUB used by openSUSE to my HDD? The wiki page I linked to shows that you can do it with Ubuntu. What I'm wondering is "is the GRUB in a Ubuntu live USB different from a openSUSE?"

@JamesGifford is it the boot config or grub itself that b0rked?

stupid thing!
James Gifford

@lazypower grub.
lazyPower
lazyPower
@JamesGifford I would probably chroot into the ubuntu disk and re-install grub.
@JamesGifford rather than dink around with distro conventions for grub and possibly making it nearly impossible to recover from.
well, not nearly impossible, but a much larger headache than it already is
James Gifford

@lazyPower Alrighty. Guess I'll go learn how to do that.

I'm just re-writing a big chunk of the networking I/O stuff, to make it more stable. I thought that might be the cause (but it's good practice anyway)

@JorgeCastro It's slightly terrible that I'm basically developing the same app as George, but without any intersection. Even so, I've just implemented live-updating of the questions database. Between us and barring minor tweaks, we're just about ready to serve the SE API ourselves.
he's even put his app on a real server and everything
Jorge Castro
Jorge Castro
oh?
wow I didn't know that
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
It's a fun project, even if we should never get to use it :)
For some weird reason, I have reservations about switching the SE api for his (running) server
Jorge Castro
Jorge Castro
we can't do both?
I thought that was the point?
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
I'd like to have some evidence that it's going to be very reliable before I do
Jorge Castro
Jorge Castro
I mean, why depend on a third party thing? I thought this was to supplement the results
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
14:49
@JorgeCastro yes we can run both, even run both server plus the official API. The load balancing is easy enough to be handled on the client
Just, you know if it turns out I have thousands of users, and this dude's server gets too much traffic, he takes it down,
As I said, I'm rather conservative on this, perhaps a little too conservative
Jorge Castro
Jorge Castro
I agree on not depending on it
I was under the impression that this would supplement
so like, if it's there or not my lens would work the same
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
yes that's the plan,
but that sort of thing needs to be implemented perfectly, there are a lot of things that can go wrong - make the app behave unexpectedly
I'll figure out a way to do it :)

@MarcoCeppi @Oli take a look:
Cat (Unix)
The cat command is a standard Unix program used to concatenate and display files. The name is from catenate, a synonym of concatenate. Specification The Single Unix Specification specifies the behavior that the contents of each of the files given in sequence as arguments will be written to the standard output in the same sequence, and mandates one option, -u, where each byte is printed as it is read. If the filename is specified as -, then cat will read from standard input at that point in the sequence. If no files are specified, cat will read from standard input entered. Extensions...

there's a little usability feature in Windows that has been present since Windows 3 that I like, but isn't standard in Ubuntu, and is impossible when you have a top panel (thinking of the upcoming global menu in 11.04)
when I want to close a maximised window on my laptop, I just move the cursor easily up to the corner of the screen and click without looking
the close button is clickable right to the most upper-right pixel on screen
Octavian Damiean

@Greg what feature is that?

@Greg that's not a feature, nor usability. It's muscle memory.

I saw that. It never leaves your device/computer.

Q: How do I export the charts in a spreadsheet as PNGs?

Jorge CastroI made a spreadsheet and generated some graphs in Calc. I would like to grab each chart as a PNG (JPG will be fine too) and save them as an individual file so I can post the charts on my blog. I tried dragging from Calc into the browser post box but unfortunately that didn't work.

That's odd,
I answered (and accepted my own answer), and got no rep (not that I really care - I just wanted the problem solved); did the system change? I normally can't accept my own answer the time I post it, and I normally get rep for it.

htorque
you don't get the +15 (and the +2) for accepting your own answer

@RolandTaylor Yeah that's designed to stop people giving themselves rep. Everybody would be on 150k if you could just give yourself points.
Roland Taylor
Roland Taylor
@Oli hmm it used to function differently though (in the past). Again, not that I care, just wanted to know if it had changed :P!

@RolandTaylor It's been just like that for as long as I've been a member of Stack Overflow (a while)

I guess I never really took the time to know for sure.
BTW if someone answers the question better than I did, I'd appreciate it :)! (It wasn't as direct an accurate as it could have been).

@RolandTaylor Yeah it's not something to bump into often unless you're regularly writing questions for you to answer (which is fine)

Q: How do I enable the libreoffice quickstarter in unity?

Roland TaylorI would like to get my quickstarter to show in unity, or replace it with an indicator. Is this possible?. I tried Unity 2D, and to my shock, it works there, but refuses to work in unity proper.
