The pop-up window you get depends on which client you logged in with. Note the version used was Sametime server 8.0.2, Notes client 8.5.2. When you are in a web meeting and you are logged into Sametime via the Integrated client then all "new" chats are displayed in a web pop-up window. If you have an existing chat "open" and that person sends another IM message it will appear in the Sametime chat window. When you are in a web meeting and you are logged into the Sametime Connect client then all messages go to the Sametime Connect pop-up window.

Comments [0] Linux Boot menu in Ubuntu Glenn Richardson 27 April 2011 20:38:15 The easist way to change to menu item you want to boot on in Ubuntu is to change the GRUB_DEFAULT in the /etc/default/grub file. First off work out which partition or menu item you want to boot from, if you don't which one it is you can always use grep to see what you have. *grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg* Next open the /etc/default/grub as either in gedit or vi as shown below *sudo gedit /etc/default/grub* or for the command line *sudo vi /etc/default/grub* a window opened with this in it.... # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null \|\| echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" etc etc etc Now change the GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to whatever menu item you want to boot from, say if you want to boot from Windows which is the fourth item then make the following change: GRUB_DEFAULT=4 Save and close the file Then to update the config run: *sudo update-grub* Comments [0] DAOS My First Lotus Knowledge Base Article Glenn Richardson 12 January 2010 08:47:34 I had my first Technote published in the Lotus Knowledge Base the other day. It is the same as the below article however it is nice to get published. I would have publish more articles previously however it has been a long and arduous process to get the access and procedures in place. Terri Puckett at IBM was fantastic and didn't give up after we hit many brick walls in the process - thanks Terri. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=1417054&uid=swg21417054 Comments [0] DAOS The module has an invalid magic number Glenn Richardson 8 December 2009 22:14:21 A customer was getting the following error message run the DAOS Estimator V1.5 notes@vlphdapp3:/home/notes> /opt/ibm/par1/lotus/bin/daosest -h Could not load program /opt/ibm/par1/lotus/notes/latest/ibmpow/daosest: Dependent module /opt/ibm/par1/lotus/notes/latest/ibmpow/libnotes_r.a could not be loaded. The module has an invalid magic number. The customer was using the 64bit DAOS Estimator on their 64bit AIX operating system, however Domino was only 32bit. After the 32bit DAOS Estimator V1.5 was down loaded it ran successfully Note: The DAOS Estimator bit version needs to match the Domino version not the operating system.

The URL to the Verisign web site is listed here for reference. http://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/secure-site-intermediate/index.html Comments [0] Sametime Sametime ini file settings for the Notes client Glenn Richardson 16 July 2008 12:05:57 This settings can be used the notes.ini file and control how the Notes client interacts with Sametime. IM_NO_SETUP=1 This setting stops the user from being prompted for Sametime details during client set-up. IM_ENABLE_SSO=1 This setting passes the Notes credentials through to Sametime so the user doesn't need to enter a password. Comments [0] nlnotes Error when launching nlnotes.exe Glenn Richardson 27 May 2008 12:43:11 When launching nlnotes.exe you receive the following error: IBM Lotus Domino does not have a production license. A Temporary evaluation license has been enrolled for you to use for 60 days. This is a warning only, after clicking OK the client will still load after some more errors pop up. IBM has not recommended accessing the server (if ever) via this method since at least version 6 and it has been strongly advised against for years. Comments [0] Tips Copying Databases Glenn Richardson 26 May 2008 10:25:38 I can't take any credit for this article it has come straight of Bruce Elgort's Blog, www.bruceelgort.com Bruce has lots of great articles up on his Blog and is definitely worth a read. I have put this article up here on my Blog for reference only. Recently I needed to make "copies" of some Lotus Notes databases and didn't want to do it from my Notes client. This would have take hours considering the database was 5gb. I knew that there had to be a way to do this and thanks to the assistance of my friend Thomas Gumz, I was able to issue a command line from the Domino server console and presto, the database was instantly copied. Yes, it's not documented nor supported, but has been around for a long time, at least since V4 according to Thomas. So let's look at what you need to do to enable this feature: The server console commands are turned off by default, you need to first enable them: Set this server notes.ini variable, like so: > set config CLUSTER_ADMIN_ON=1 (even if the server is not a in cluster, doesn't matter). No need to restart the server, it becomes active immediately. This enables this new command: CL COPY sourcedb targetdb Examples for the CL COPY command: > CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB > CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf REPLICA This would create a replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB > CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf TEMPLATE This would create a template copy (only design, no data) of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB > CL copy db1.nsf db2.nsf This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf as db2.nsf on the same local server Comments [0]	Feeds Content Feed Comment Feed Recent Entries Sametime Chat Windows Set Config Commands Boot menu in Ubuntu My First Lotus Knowledge The module has an invalid Recent Comments Archives December 2011 (1) June 2011 (1) April 2011 (1) January 2010 (1) December 2009 (1) October 2009 (1) August 2009 (1) July 2008 (1) May 2008 (2) January 2008 (1) October 2007 (1) May 2007 (2) January 2007 (4) July 2006 (1) June 2006 (1) May 2006 (5) April 2006 (5) March 2006 (5)
