I'm guessing that login and the other user-management programs have
been configured to use shadow passwords, or PAM, or some other form of
authentication beyond that of the /etc/passwd file. The RPMs you
installed probably did not provide a complete set of all of these
security and authentication elements.

I recently purchased a similar combination deal from Fry's, and I
experienced exactly the same symptoms.

The problem turned out to the the Western Digital drive was the only
drive on the IDE cable, and in that case, you must not set the drive
to master, but instead remove the jumper altogether. If your Western
Digital is the only thing on the cable, check that, and you might
double check the cables and jumper in any case.

RH9 GRUB error: mixed IDE/SCSI, no boot floppy

[snip] 

Especially with some BIOSes re: a mix of scsi and ide drives. Some
BIOSes will let you set this order or at least inform you of the order
they are imposing -- others not.
 

Win/DOS are not very reliable for this as they will (especially Win)
report drives (ie., partitions) in order they are encountered in
partition tables -- with the "active" partition/drive always listed as
C:
 

First thing: nothing has changed with your setup except the replaced
hd and reloading of Win OS. Correct? Drives map now the way they did
before. Correct?

Is grub hanging (ie., failing to load stage2 properly) or is it not
loading the kernel? You do get an active prompt, don't you? Eg.,
grub>

Either way, this means grub (stage1) is installed into the MBR. If
you get GRUB with a blinking "block" then grub stage1 can't find
stage1.5 &/or stage2.

If you do have an active grub prompt you can load the kernel by trial
& errror or use tab completion feature to see what grub thinks of your
system. Also the suggested find command can be useful. You can cat
the grub.conf file from this prompt also. Review the grub info manual
for the details/examples of loading the kernel by hand.

With an active prompt that is not loading the system properly, I
always suspect the grub.conf file is at fault. Here are the similar
lines (from my grub.conf) that I would double-check closely:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
#++ note the root= that is passed to kernel - is it correct?
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
#++ this is the drive we're booting from. Is it correct?

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#++ this will tell you what drive/partition grub sees
#++ as the location of /grub -> (hd0,1)

title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-13.8)
root (hd0,1)
#++ this is grub's root. Is it correct?

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-13.8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
#++ note the root= that is passed to kernel.
#++ This is the real one and must match what's in
#++ /etc/fstab - is it correct?

initrd /initrd-2.4.20-13.8.img
#++ the initrd to load ie., the init process

Since you are getting no output at all (except err# 15 msg) I suspect
a problem with the root(hdx,x) line or the kernel line.

If you have a hanging grub process then grub is not fully loading
stage2 properly which _almost_ always indicates that grub stage1 is
not pointed to the correct drive/partition. Remember, grub has no
knowledge of the disk layout except what it hears from the BIOS
(together with device.map) or from you.

Your OS output, device.map and previous attempts "look" to be OK --
but something ain't right. This is detective work unless you stumble
on the correction.

It could be the BIOS "lying" to grub about disk drive search/boot
order -- but why now and not before? New ide/scsi/BIOS interactions
as a result of new hd?

What _does_ the BIOS have to say about your hard drives?

Does rescue mode navigation of disks show any surprises? Can you
umount /boot and then mount it again from command line as expected?
If so, this could be clue that OS and BIOS and Grub are not correctly
in sync in device.map.

If you can use grub's tab completion feature, what does it reveal
about grub's notion of your disk layout? Eg.,
grub> root (hd[tab-key]
grub spits back a "candidate" list to choose from
grub> root (hd_1,_[tab-key]
grub spits back a "candidate" list to choose from
and so on. This is the easiest way to trial-and-error into a correct
mapping with trial sequences of:
grub> root (hdX,x)
grub> setup (hdX)
grub> quit
and reboot the box -- though grub can reboot also you need to allow
time for disk write out.

If no help or luck with any of this, about the only way we could help
is with output of:
$ df
$ fdisk -l /dev/sda <- that's elle
$ cat /etc/fstab
$ ls -a /boot
$ ls -a /boot/grub
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
and maybe try some parted -p /dev/sda to compare with fdisk

We're missing some little something, but what? Grrrr....

Problems opening Word 2003 in Word 2010

Problem selecting recipients from Excel spreadsheet.

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 01:46 PM PST

I have been printing labels for our organization for about 8 years now.  I am presently using Word 2010 and Excel 2010.  The process of choosing an address label, then selecting recipients (Excel spreadsheet), then selecting edit recipients, has worked for all these years until 2 weeks ago.  The result this time was that no recipients showed up on the Word doc, just the blank label sheet.  I click on Edit Recipient List and I see all of the names and addresses from the Excel spreadsheet there and all of the names are checked.  I only want labels for the people who do not have an email address so I make sure only those names are checked.  I then click OK.  The sheet of labels should now be filled correctly but it is still blank.  I thought it was a problem with our Dell laptop, so I tried my new Toshiba laptop but got exactly the same result.  Can you help me?

Restart total number of pages in a new section.

Restrict editing of only the Header and Footer in Word 2007/2010

Currently, editing restrictions are set correctly, but uses can only seem to type text into document. Text is Calibri 11pt (default).  All editing options under the Home tab are disabled (greyed out bold, itaclics, font choice, etc).  I want to be able to expand their abiilty to include anything they want in Word doc, such as tables, images, etc.  In other words, I'd like to set the permissions of the document so that a user can add any type of content into the document but the only thing they cannot change is the header and footer.

Create a disabled account in the Exchange Forest. Don't give it a mailbox at
Account creation, if you do create a mailbox it is harder to configure.
Go back to the disabled account and create a mailbox box for it, in the UI
it will ask you which external account you want to associate it with,
navigate to the other forest and select the appropriate account. This
should setup the disabled account mailbox to have permissions for the

You're missing your "ServerBindings" entry, (you've got the Secure one, but
not the Server one), it should look like this
ServerBindings : [IS] (MULTISZ) ":110:"
SecureBindings : [IS] (MULTISZ) ":995:"

The ServerBindings prop tell the VS which port number to attach to on
startup. Try using the Exchange Admin to edit this property (change it to
listen on 111, hit Apply), and then change it back, that should re-populate
this setting.



Could someone perhaps have removed this property as a means of 'securing'
the POP3 surface?

I have a 60 page word doc (10 sections in total).  I have inserted NextPage breaks between each of the sections.  I've started the page numbering on the third page (formatted as page 1).  No problem there. 

My numbering scheme (page X of Y) should say 1 of 58 (rather than 1 of 60) because I'm not including the first two pages in the total.  I'm sure I've done this using the SectionPages code.  I'm having no luck today.  I've unlinked each section.  I'd appreciate some helpful advice.

Need your help

The insert pictures features is not working in word, it works in excel and publisher though.  Ran diagnostics and did not detect errors. Please advise how to correct this issue as I must finish editing my report today. Reviewed the options in word in the advanced tab, maybe something is selected wrongly.  When I attempt to insert the photo from my pictures files it copies an empty frame with the rotation icon on top.

Is there a way to make two columns independant?

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 03:29 PM PST

I'm trying to write a compare/contrast document of sorts (it's not exactly using the "proper" style they taught in school) where I'd like to list things about two different items on either side of the page. However, when I set up two columns, it treats it as two pages where when you get to the bottom of the first column it goes to the top of the second.
I'd instead like to have it continue to the next page, and be able to click on either column and put independent things in each one.

Maybe I'm phrasing this badly, I'd like to treat each column almost as an independent document so that i can add text contrasting two things.

I'm having difficulty finding the right words. I'm thinking of something similar to a 2 column, 1 row table. Is there any way to do that using columns with a line down the middle?

Now that I think about it, that might work. I'll try and see.

Keeping 2010 Word App open after closing all of the files???

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 11:11 AM PST

When you launch 2010 Word it opens a file called "Document 1". That's all well and good but if you close that file it also closes Word right along with it. You can open another file then close Doc 1 but if you close the other file it closes Word again. My question is can you close all of the documents and still leave Word launched. You can with Excel, Power Point, Visio and every other Office App. Why not Word 2010????? It's really a pain when you're working with a lot of files and want to close one when your done with it then open a new one. You have to re-launch the whole app.

word 2010 32bit connecting to network printer hangs

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 12:55 PM PST

User has issues when trying to print from Word or Excel 2010 32bit. In word once the user clicks print, there is a drop down menu to select a printer. When the user selects the network printer (a Ricoh MP C6501), underneath the printer drop down it says "connecting to printer". Word will hang and then show up as "not responding".

 

Notes: There is another network printer (HP Printer) and a local HP Printer setup along with the ususal Fax, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, OneNote 2010. The default printer is the local HP Printer. When selecting the other network printer printer (HP Printer) there is no hang or lag. From research I have found that it could be that the driver resides on the Print Server which is why it was taking so long to connect. So I directly connected to the printer by IP address bypassing the Print Server with an updated 32bit driver and it still comes up with the same results.

 

PC Info - Lenovo T410 running Windows 7 32bit and Office 2010 Professional 32bit.

 

Our other users who are running the same setup but with Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010 Standard does not have the same hang up. If there is any other information that I am missing, please ask me.

I have also tried a couple of other possible solutions, like disk clean and repairing Office to no success.

Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

The one thing that really bugged me was having both K & G apps in the

Label/Tag help in MS Word 2010

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 11:41 AM PST

Hi,

I'm trying to create a sheet of labels/tags 2 1/2" H x 3" W in MS Word 2010.  I want to cut each tag out to tape them on items for a church Christmas sale.  Each tag will have the same text, so each will be identical.  I need to have lines showing where to cut each label off the sheet.  Any idea on how to do it?

Thanks!

same header, different footer on odd and even pages

Posted: 17 Nov 2012 09:22 PM PST

In Word 2010 I am printing a 150 page document in booklet format with different headers on odd and even pages (book title on even,  chapter title on odd pages).  I cannot get the page numbers in the footer to appear on every page.  Either I have the correct header - alternating odd and even - and no page numbers on every alternate page OR I have page numbers throughout but no alternating headers.  How do I make the header alternate odd/even and the footer (page number) NOT alternate odd/even?

Troubleshooting Sandisk cruizer on Window's 7.

Posted: 17 Nov 2012 07:00 PM PST

I am trying to transfer doc to new 8 GB Sandisk cruzer.  This is the second cruizer purchased today thinking the first was damaged.  When I attempt to transfer and save Word doc, it greys out on the "save."   I have attempted to troubleshoot with the manufacture's site.  No luck.  I have not had problems with my old Sandisk that has no more room.  My old cruzer is 2 GB.  Any help is appreciated.  

I am John. I find the footnotes option of VIEW menu in WORD is blocked and must activate it. Please help

Posted: 15 Nov 2012 05:02 PM PST

I am using an older version of WORD (maybe XP) on my wife's PC. I cannot use the "Footnotes" option

from the VIEW dropdown menu because it seems to be blocked. I do not know how to activate it, but must

do so in order to submit a paper to a science journal. They require all references, forming the bibliography

at the end of the paper, to be added via the 'Footnotes' option, or they will not publish my paper. Even so it

has been submitted and the text accepted already. Will the footnotes option do this? I am not experienced

in its use for formatting a list of references at the end of a written article. How can I activate 'footnotes'?

Please advise on the latter, in particular, if you can.... Thank you.          John

photos do not appear converting word 2007 to pdf

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 09:08 PM PST

This occurs only with jpeg images I have edited in Photoshop. I do not have a problem with any other type of image I insert into a Word file. An unedited jpeg photo or a Photoshop edited .tiff version of the image inserted into a Word doc is able to be seen when converted to a pdf. But not an edited jpeg from Photoshop. The area shows up as just white.

This just started as I have been able to convert Word docs with Photoshop edited photos to a pdf without problem.

I have photoshop elements 7, Acrobat 9, and using Windows Vista.

I have contacted Adobe Acrobat and they have indicated after trouble shooting that this is probably a Word issue with a recent Word update.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks!
