newbie apt-get question

Posted: 27 Jun 2004 11:48 AM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup, Chris Murray uttered these immortal words:
 
################################################## ######################### 

You are tracking stable. The other lines aren't for official Debian mirrors.
To use official Debian testing or unstable mirrors you need a line like:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

(Replace the URL with another if you want a different mirror and replace
unstable with testing if you want that branch instead. Duplicate the libe
with a different URL for more sources. I haven't bothered with source lines
here.)

The caveat: adding packages from testing or unstable to a stable
install /could/ cripple your installation. Depending on what you install
some important packages could, and probably will, be upgraded and /could/
stop some software from working. It's better to Google for backports for
Woody if you're unsure of what you're doing.

While I don't use Fedora, most Linux distros include GCC (The GNU
Compiler Collection), which handles many of the more popular programming
languages, including C and C++. I can't imagine RedHat not including it
in Fedora.

Also, you don't have to be a programmer to compile from source. More
often than not, it's as simple as:

../configure
make
make install

:) I've installed a number of programs this way.

Unable to boot from RAID after fresh install

I know, and the setup program indicates that it will load the megaraid

The problem seems to be a bug in the SUSE 9.1 install program, probably
related to smp kernels and incorrect module settings. It installs the
smp kernel, but the module paths are incorrect so the kernel cannot find
the modules.

Just for kicks, I tried to install Suse 8.0. That version worked
perfectly. It is rather old, though. Not sure if I'll keep it or not.

grub manual boot help

Posted: 25 Jun 2004 02:03 AM PDT


I checked menu.1st file, which is linked to grub.conf.

My question is,
how would grub know where the boot partition is located ?
( equivalent to setting " root (hd0,6) " )
Once grub finds out where it is, I am sure one can write a program to go
to the particular partition, but the information seems to be hard coded to
stage1 file.
In this case, is there any other way to direct grub to the boot partition
( which is located in the different partition from the info in stage1 file
) other than reinstalling grub ?

please correct me if i am wrong

Fedora install can't see CD or hard drives

Posted: 24 Jun 2004 03:26 PM PDT

> Wow. How did you manage that? The diskboot image weighs in at 6MB; 

In /pub/linux/fedora/core/1/i386/os/images there's a bootdisk.img that's
1.4M (there's also a diskboot.img that's 6M). But the 1.4M bootdisk is not
in the FC2 release.
 

Thanks for the suggestion. What I ended up doing was finding a grub image
at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/images/hd_grub.img
and copying FC2-CD1 to a Windows partition on the hard drive and pointed
grub to the isolinux directory within that. It then recognized my SCSI
controller and loaded the appropriate driver (aic7xxx) and was able to get
the CDROM after that (but still can't boot from it). Thanks again
Roy.

The format of a multi-level list

I am writing a technical book and used to  be able to create a mutli-level list in the format 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 etc. for headings, sub headings and sub-subheadings respectively. I can no longer do that because the default has somehow changed to I, A, 1 etc which I DO NOT WANT!  How do I change the multi-level list format back to what I had?

Hello, how would I achieve this effect, please

I mean the soft gradient at the top only. I think there are tables hidden in that template which make it difficult to customise, so it would be easier if I started from scratch. Achieving that gradient would be the first step.

 

Any help appreciated.

Linking tasks with no particular order

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 01:40 PM PDT

JeremyE --

A technique I like to use in this situation is to do the following:

1. Do not set dependencies on any of the 10 tasks since there are no hard
logic dependencies between the tasks
2. Set the Duration of each task to 10 days since each task must be
performed within a 10-day "window of opportunity"
3. Assign the resource at only 10% Units on each of the 10 tasks

The advantages of using the above scenario are:

(A) You do not have to level the project because you have not overallocated
the resource on these 10 tasks
(B) The resource can work the tasks in any order
(C) When actuals are entered for these 10 tasks, you will see exactly how
the work was performed and in what time period for each task

Just my opinion. Hope this helps.

just have to be done within 10 days or something like that, and the order
they are completed doesn't matter? Or should I just schedule them one after

WBS Cannot Renumber

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 01:08 PM PDT

After moving, deleting, or rearranging tasks, their
custom work breakdown structure (WBS) codes may no longer
be in the correct sequence. You can renumber the WBS
codes of all or selected tasks. On the View menu, click a
sheet of task or resource information.

In the Task Name field, select the tasks you want to
renumber.

To renumber WBS codes for all tasks, you don't need to
select any tasks.

On the Project menu, point to WBS, and then click
Renumber. To correct the WBS code sequence for selected
adjacent tasks, click Selected tasks.
To correct the WBS code sequence for all tasks in the
project, click Entire project.

Hope this helps!
 

wholesale copy of users and enterprise resource pool

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 03:41 AM PDT

Lynne --

If you wish to pick and choose the resources, then you might try the
following technique:

1. Back up the Enterprise Global on Project Server instance #1 (PS#1)
2. Restore the Enterprise Global on Project Server instance #2 (PS#2)

Doing so will transfer your custom fields and outline codes to PS#2.

3. Launch Microsoft Project and connect to PS#1
4. Open a new blank project (this project will store the desired resources)
4. Click Tools - Build Team from Enterprise
5. Add the desired resources to the team and click OK
6. Save the project as an .mpp file in a network folder and close the
project
7. Close Microsoft Project on PS#1
8. Launch Microsoft Project and connect to PS#2
9. Click Tools - Import Resources to Enterprise
10. Select the .mpp project containing the desired resources
11. Carefully complete each of the Import Wizard pages to import the
resources

Just a thought. Hope this helps.

Interesting thought, Phil, but [although I'm not 100% certain] I don't
believe that can be done with Office. My understanding is that if you
attempt to apply an updater that's in different language version than what
it's being applied to it will not apply... Similar to what would happen if
you tried to apply 11.3.7 without having applied 11.3.6 first.

ms word 2010 footnote numbering won't continue after section break

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:04 AM PDT

In Word 2010 I have a chapter (each chapter is a new section) which has a section break in it for a table that has to change page orientation (from portrait to landscape) - so the rest of the section (and thesis) is in portrait. Each chapter has footnotes that restart from 1 for each chapter. In this particular chapter footnotes 1-84 are OK then the landscape table occurs and then the chapter continues in portrait but I cannot get the footnotes to continue at 85. Word takes the absolute no. of the footnote (#892)! I have tried continuous & new page section breaks, forcing footnotes to start from 85 but all to no avail.

Recently upgraded to Word 2013. Can't get it to print two A5 pages onto an A4 sheet

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 09:20 AM PDT

I often set up documents on A5 then want to print them as booklets, or at least side by side on A4 paper. When I try to select paper size within the Word 2013 print options, this changes the format of the document, not the selected paper in the printer. The same happens when I try to change the paper size within the printers own options menu. Just selecting number of sheets per page doesn't do the trick either as it assumes then that the paper is A5 size and prints two A6 versions in the corner of my A4 paper.

 

The old version of Word (2007) had no problems with this. What has happened?

How to fix error message from FilesaveAs macro? filesaveas macro gives error message of "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 12:26 PM PDT

I copied a macro from Allen Wyatt's WordTips site (http://wordribbon.tips.net/T011619_Setting_a_Document_Naming_Convention.html) to cause "Save As" to always insert the date into the file name.  It worked for a while and, recently, it has not.  Instead, it generates an error message of: 

"Compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" and the word "Format" in the macro code is blue-highlighted in the VBA Editor. 

Here's the macro:

Public Sub FileSaveAs()
    Dim dlgSave As Dialog

    Set dlgSave = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)

    With dlgSave
        .Name = Format(Date, "yyyy_mm_dd ")
        .Show
    End With
End Sub

(The blue-highlighted is in the 4th line from the bottom.) 

The fact that the macro worked for a while makes me think that I must have done something else that somehow affected this.  But I don't know what that could have been. 

Any suggestions?
