darknova Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Here is a "How to" Guide I created months ago to get people started on there moodle setup... EnjoyNoob Guide.doc 4
Geoff Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I'd like to know how I'm supposed to read a word doc file on an ubuntu server.
CyberNerd Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I also suggest the document should be imported into the wiki. OpenOffice has an 'export to mediawiki' function - probably it will read the .doc and export to mediawiki txt.
darknova Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 I'd like to know how I'm supposed to read a word doc file on an ubuntu server. Openoffice.... Ubuntu 8.04 - Not even started looking at this yet.
webman Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) I'd like to know how I'm supposed to read a word doc file on an ubuntu server. Openoffice.... Does OpenOffice have a command-line version now? ;-) Edited May 8, 2008 by webman
CyberNerd Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Does OpenOffice have a command-line version now? ;-) yes, you can create a macro so that it can be used to convert files from .doc on the command line. antiword is probably easier.
Geoff Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Why would I install openoffice (or indeed a GUI) on a server?
CyberNerd Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Why would I install openoffice (or indeed a GUI) on a server? I doubt you'll need the 'noob guide' either
darknova Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) Why would I install openoffice (or indeed a GUI) on a server? Why would you be reading the noobie guide on the server? How would you get to edugeek to get the file without a browser, which you need a gui for? Why have a color screen on the server if the command line is in black and white? Why have a mouse attached when you can do everything using a keyboard? Why am I wasting my time, writing this... You give people a little something and this is the thanks you get Edited May 8, 2008 by darknova 1
CyberNerd Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 How would you get to edugeek to get the file without a browser, which you need a gui for? using lynx,links, wget Why have a color screen on the server if the command line is in black and white? that has been fixed years ago. they are in colour now Why have a mouse attached when you can do everything using a keyboard? so you can copy and paste. thats difficult on the CLI without a mouse. Why am I wasting my time, writing this... exactly - you should be updating the wiki with your excellent howto You give people a little something and this is the thanks you get I appreciate it.
