Why can't Linux see my NIC?

Posted: 19 Feb 2004 09:32 PM PST

"Hiawatha Bray" <com> wrote in message news:<QZgZb.62972$gnilink.net>... 

Not sure about SUSE specifics and "red failed flags", but there are a
few things you can check.

"lspci" will show you if linux can see the NIC at all (assuming it is
pci)
"ifconfig -a" will show you all configured network interfaces
"lsmod" will show you which modules you have loaded

I'd take a guess that you don't have the module (In "Windows" I guess
you'd call this a "driver") loaded. Either way, running those commands
will show you wether your NIC is correctly set up or not. If there is
no problem with the nic, then you can move on to how you're doing
DHCP.

Best way to "Clone" a Linux Hard drive?

Posted: 17 Feb 2004 02:14 PM PST

Chris Cox <net> wrote: 

Eh? A copy is a clone. If you are trying to say that you want a copy
that preserves the exact bits on disk, rather than "just" the
arrangement of files, then by all means say so rather than reaching for
a word that does not mean what you think it means!

But unfortunately that will not work to give you a working boot sector
in all situations. In fact. in very few.
 

Kindly stop insulting people you unpleasant slug ...
 

?? "on drugs" is an expression meaning "hallucinating, seeing things
in a distorted way, living in a private universe, etc.". That's what
you seem to be!
 

There is no difference. I am not confusing anything, you are! I told
you what clone means. I'll write it out for you again if you like!

1. An exact duplicate: "Our product is a clone of their
product." Implies a legal reimplementation from documentation
or by reverse-engineering. Also connotes lower price.

2. A shoddy, spurious copy: "Their product is a clone of our
product."

3. A blatant ripoff, most likely violating copyright, patent,
or trade secret protections: "Your product is a clone of my
product." This use implies legal action is pending.

Etc.
 

Eh?
 

You said it!

 

Then you would be wrong. COPYING a boot sector (note,not "cloning")
does not give you a bootable machine.


 

It doesn't matter, whatever you are trying to say (I suspect you are
trying to get out words that mean that the offset on disk of the
target kernel or secondary stage loader will be changed by the copy
from the original, which means that the CLONED boot sector will miss
it, since it still has the physical location of the original embedded
in it).

That's "right". That's why you have to COPY the boot sector and CHANGE
it for its new environment.
 

Do YOU get it? Apparently not!

You see - you don't know how that boot sector was generated. Therefore
you don't know what it is aiming at. Theerfore you don't know what to
repoint it at.

Nor do you know which disk it is trying to boot. Nor what the new
bios calls that disk (0x80? 0x81?).

Yes, if you take all the disks from one machine, and copy them to all
the disks of another machine, and put them in exactly the same places,
and remove all other devices, and tell the bioses that the disks have
exactly the same geometry, and arrange the bios boot orders to be
exactly the same on both machines, then you would get a booting disk.

OK?

But nobody has ever seen two machines built more than two weeks apart
that are exactly the same.

Suppress "Page break before" at head of document

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 06:45 AM PST

I'm currently formatting a document in which the "heading 1" style has the "page break before" paragraph option set. Currently, the document does not have a title page, and the first text in the document is the first section header. Unfortunately, Word seems to be creating a page break before the header, despite the fact that it's the first page in the document; essentially, I have a blank page at the first page, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any ideas on how to suppress the page break for the first header in the document?

I thought about making a second style, "heading 1 (first page)" which inherits from Heading 1, but I'd rather not as that's pretty kludgy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't see any word option settings that would do this.

So how do configure word to use one global folder for all .wbk files.  Some registry settings??  Anybody Know?

Functional Check Boxes in both 2010 and 2007

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 06:33 AM PST

I am trying to create a protected document in Word 2010 with check boxes so that recipients can only tab to selected text fields and check boxes....that seems to work fine.

However, when I emailed it to someone with 2007, the check boxes did not work and could not be checked...in fact, the curser is moved to left of the check-box and pressing TAB just moves the check box to the next tab spot...not very useful.

Is there a way to create a document with check boxes that can be protected and is functional in both 2010 and 2007?

Multi-key shortcuts only register when typed slowly

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 03:14 AM PST

In Office 2010 and later, if I try and use a shortcut that requires multiple alphabets, I find that office is slow to respond.

Example
In Microsoft Word, the shortcut key to open the document map is Alt+V+D. If I use these keys quickly, Microsoft Word does not recognize the fact that I pressed the D. The only way this works is if I press Alt+V+(wait a second)+D.

This issue seems to exist for all Office products, not just Word.

Are there any ways to get around this issue? Also, is this issue being investigated in later versions of Microsoft Office?

Hi Bruce,

If you are using Office 2003, a possible solution is to use "Custom

reinstalling the system, you can apply Outlook user profiles by using a PRF
file.

Hi Bruce,

I think you can use "setup.exe /a" to create a Office Admin pack for later

can be used to deploy Office to domain users.

Problem with tables in Word 2010

Posted: 25 Nov 2012 10:50 PM PST

Hi!

I had a strange problem in a 60 page word doc with a few tables. One of the tables in the doc was misbehaving and wouldn't let me change it's border settings. Every time I tried, using the table Borders & Shading dialog, word would freeze and need to be terminated forcefully. I even tried changing borders using VBA, but the code would freeze when I tried to change .LineStyle property of the border.

I have trimmed down the doc to a single page now with just one table and the problem still persists. The doc contains just 2 lines of Heading 1 text followed by the table. The table is completely empty.  Deleting any of the two lines resolves the problem, or moving the table anywhere above its current position also resolves the problem. Also, if I save the doc as docx, the problem is gone.

In short, I do have a few workarounds to the problem but I want to know if anyone else has also faced similar problems and whether this is an issue with Word or there could be another explanation for this.

Thanks! :)

Word 2010: How to Rotate a Table ??

2) Selecting the Table, how do I rotate it from horizontal to vertical ??
Think of the Table as an object/image, and want to rotate it 90 deg counter clockwise.
 
3) Neither "Text Direction" nor "Transpose" (even if such feature exists!) will do the job.
 
Any suggestion ??
 
Thank you kindly.

computer gave it one. The Win7 Operating system is now on drive letter
"J". I don't know why a personal computer (not a networked one) could
ever have a drive letter "J", but I got one.

I will now try and migrate data off that I could use and start over
again from scratch.

Oh, one other question, as it was already sort of answered here --- I
keep a lot of instalation applications on my hard disk under a folder
called APS, which I've seen before. I know none of them are 64-bit aps.
Is there some kind of way to "install" my older "aps" in compatibility
mode? Does that even make sense.

But seriously, Win7 doesn't automatically assign drive letters to fixed
disk? Did I have to "map" it first?

including everything on my hard drives. Then perform either an incremental
or a differential backup of my entire system so in the event of a complete
and total failure, all I have to do is restore from the latest backup and
within say, an hour, I'm up and running with a system that I had say about
15 hours earlier. It's that simple.

I currently have Norton Ghost 15 for one of my systems but the license is
for one system. I'm looking into other solutions at a much lower cost
(about ~$70.00/system)

BTW, Norton Ghost is NOT what it was back in 2003. IMHO, the only thing
that has stayed the same is the name only.

In IE, click the query (help) option. type hover in the search box.
In the make the mouse easier to use is an ease of access center,
which includes a tick box for running when you hover.
Sounds as though somehow it is ticked.
The little messages that pop up when you hover were called
tooltips when I programmed - I think those can not be turned
off because they are built in deliberately as part of the form.

I don't want excuses. I want my (*(*& hardware to continue to work!!!
It may not support new features, but it should do at least what it used

Period!!!
Microsoft has let us down in that area. Sorry for any inconvenience,

It's not only .chm files but seems to apply to all file types from
the internet, (or possibly another computer as well).
If you download Autoruns as an example:

When unzipped there are three files types, .chm, .txt and .exe
and all have the 'Unblock' button active in the Properties tab.

I've just found this explanation in a blog:

Reallango + February 10th, 2010 (#):

I think you need to have Windows Media Center set as the default program in
order for this option to be present. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and did not
have the option until I set the default program for wtv files back to
windows media center.

Word - color in track changes

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 08:57 AM PST

Hello,

 

I am giving comments to a big word document in stages.

 

I would like to change the color every time that I issue comments, so there will be separation from my previous comments to the same document.

 

When I tried to change the color in Track Changes, it changed my previous comments as well..

 

Thanks

How do you PERMANENTLY set Word to use inches?

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 09:54 AM PST

Every time I open a New Word file, I have to go through the process of changing my units of measurement display.

I KNOW how to do that:

Office Button > Word Options button > Select Advanced in the left pane > Scroll to the Display >

Show measurements in units of > choose Inches > OK

BUT how do I KEEP these settings so I don't have to repeat the process every single time?

Word 2007 toolbar, i.e. HOME, etc. covers top of document upon opening and then disappears when typing starts

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 05:05 PM PST

Upon opening a document, new or edit, any item, i.e. Home, covers the top of the document for about an inch, and will disappear completely if I start typing.  If I click "Home" or another heading again, the menu items reappear, but then will not stay open so I can edit without having to keep repeating this procedure.  I had this happen once before and found the resolution by accident but cannot seem to find what I need to click on now.  HELP! 

I can work around it but it is a real pain.  Thanks for any advice you can give me.

"This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" - Please help, but no the problem has nothing to do with activation or a temporary use of the program.

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:17 AM PST

I use a registered copy of Word 2007. It is not a trial version and has been activated for quite some time now. I edit books for authors using Word's Track Changes function, but over the last couple months, Word has developed a very frustrating problem that makes me want to throw the computer out the window at times. When inserting comments that go more than a sentence or two in the reviewing pane, or if I have to delete a letter in the comment, it will stall up temporarily and "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" will appear along the bottom bar of the window. After leaving it a minute or two, I can type another letter or two, or delete a letter, then wait for the repeated "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" to disappear again. Then repeat the process again. This is an arduous problem that needs to be remedied. Anyone have any ideas of the cause and/or solution? Computer is running windows 7 home with 4gigs of ram, so this shouldn't be a ram or hardware issue.

"you don't have permission to open this file"

I'm running Word 2010 in Windows 7 Pro, and I get the error "you don't have permission to open this file" when trying to open any of my old files. I tried to follow the directions in the "privacy settings", by allowing the group "Everyone" to have full control rights, but it still doesn't work. These are all of my old files, stored locally on a fixed HD.
