X setup on Debian?

Posted: 02 Sep 2004 09:48 PM PDT

Hello

(Follow-Up to alt.os.linux.debian ignored, because it is not yet
available for me)

Madhusudan Singh (<invalid>) wrote: 

If the virtual consoles are broken as well, this /could/ be some
conflict between X and the console framebuffer driver. Did you try to
turn off the framebuffer driver, e.g. by passing

vga=normal
video=vga16:off

or something like that to the kernel?

Also, what kind of graphic card does the laptop use? And what version of
Debian do you use? XFree 4.1 in Woody does not support some older
cards, for which you would have to use XFree 3.3.6, or XFree 4.3.
 

By default, runlevels 2,3,4 and 5 on Debian systems are identical. You
could remove the xdm/kdm/gdm symlink for some runlevel, and boot into
that one. You can also boot into single user mode without the CDROM,
simply press <TAB> at the lilo prompt (if you use lilo), and append

init 1
or
init s

to the prompt.
 

If the card is not too old, you should rather try the VESA driver, which
should work with all VESA 2 compliant cards.
 

That depends on how X was started. If you use some login manager, this
is true. You would have to shut it down, e.g. using

/etc/init.d/xdm stop

But of course, this is difficult without working consoles.

If anything this argues against the use of follow-ups, because if a
posting is sent only to a group that is silently dropped by a
server it will disappear into the void.

I dislike cross-posting, but I firmly believe that once something
has been cross-posted it should stay that way. Experience suggests
that follow-ups actually increase the noise that they are intended
to reduce. A decent newsreader won't show you a cross-posted
message more than once, anyway.
 

It doesn't seem off-topic for either group, but as it's not a
RedHat-specific question a general group like cols is probably a
better place to ask than colr. Asking in both is only a good idea
if you think there's a good reason to suppose that there will be
people with the answer in colr who con't also follow cols. I don't
follow colr, so I can only guess, but I'd have thought asking in
cols alone would have been the best choice in this case.

I certainly agree that cross-posting is preferable to multi-posting
... but I wouldn't blame you for asking the same question in a
second group once it was clear that you weren't going to get an
answer in the first. Even the most experienced posters don't always
get it right first time.

MD 10: lilo troubles (volume, raid nonsense)

RedHat dumped it, so are other distributions. LILO has serious user
interaction issues and is far more difficult to recover from problems with,
and its fifteen or sixteen character limit in the apparent name of the boot
configurations is painful to cope with when you have multiple configurations
for testing or other purposes. As someone who's installed a series of a
dozen different kernels on the same machines and hopped among them to do
performance testing, I found that limitation painful. Mind you, I still miss
the LILO feature of doing "lilo -d [oldkernel]; lilo -R [newkernel]; reboot"
to reboot the first time only with a new kernel, and only set it as the
default if it was successful. It helped keep my hands off the hardware for
testing in remote locations and could be recovered from by a simple reboot
instead of having to bring up a console at boot time. But it's overwhelmed
by the overall flexibility and ease of configuration of the grub tools.

Whoops, I'm sorry, I thought you said I couldn't be bothered to learn LILO.

But working mostly from your own "diagnosis" you may have a WOL

Sounds like you don't really need this "feature" if it is the source
of your problem. Each nic/driver is a bit different though so google:
linux nic wake-on-lan wol
and perhaps add your nic's brand/model# to the search.

You'll find a bunch of hits -- see this for _very_ quick primer:

Of course, this could be a sign of a WOL nic gone bad or a heartbeat
daemon screwing up -- these can be hard to track down. Took us
several months to figure out why stations were dropping from NetWare

Hi,

The following is AFAIK the fastest way:

Select all tasks
Task Information Icon
Set % complete to 0

Now it depends on what you want to do with your old constraints.
If you do not want them to be taken into account, with task information open
set constraint to as soon as possible; then set Project Start to the new
start date and off you go

If you want to move them by the same number of days as the project start,
leave task infoemartion, show the analysis toolbar and click adjust dates.
Follow the instructions.

Good Luck

Changing a Work Week for one Sub-task amongst many in Project 2000

Hi,

Being a (lousy) golfer myself, I coudn't help adding my 2cts worth here.
Technically speaking, what you need is a task calendar.
Go to Tools, Change Working time

Click the hedings of Sat and Sun

Now select the two follow-up tasks

That is what you look for.

But one thing bothers me in your post.
How are you going to use this to "measure success of the operation"??
Curious about that...

Actually, my project is an assignment to management (my project team) and

be helpful. 
on our golf carts at our 27 hole golf course. It is being set up as a 60 day
pilot project to test our customer's response to using this "value added"
service. Management has the tasks of researching various systems and
vendors, doing site visits to other facilities, bidding a system, selecting
a system, installing a system, setting up training for front line staff in
the use of the system, surveying the customers and then writing a report and
recommendation on the results of the pilot test. They will do all of that
work M - F from 8:00 until 5:00 (management has a 5 day work week). 
service to the customers by the front desk staff (which happens 7 days per
week- we operate our golf course all 7 days- management just works 5 of
those days), and the actual 60 day piloting of the GPS system by our
golfers. As it turns out, I'm not really assigning "resources" to those two
sub-tasks [selling the program and allowing the golfers to use the value
added service]. Management is not involved in that. Front desk staff is. 
of what is happening in both periods (thus my reason for having them in my
project plan), but maybe I can't do that. Or do you think I can? 
really should be, can I have 16 sub-tasks be set up on a 5 day work week,
and 2 of my sub-task set up on a 7 day work week?

Exporting tasks to Outlook

Posted: 28 Jul 2004 07:47 AM PDT

Jan,

Assuming that you just want to export your own tasks to Outlook, you
can do it by installing the MS Project Add-in for Outlook. It's
located in the WGSETUP folder on the MS Project CD (you might have to
dig down a couple of levels to find it.) You'll need to make sure
that you've entered in your email address in the Resource Sheet, and
that you've selected email as the collaboration method. All of this
is covered in the Help file. Just do a search on Collaborate, and you
should find an entry on using email. Using Email as the collaboration
method isn't as elegant as using Project Server, but it helps some.

If you want to export EVERYONE'S tasks to your copy of Outlook....I'm
not sure how you'd do that.

Good Luck

Modifying 'Task details Form' View in Project 2003

Posted: 28 Jul 2004 07:04 AM PDT


Lori,
Once the custom form is created it can be attached to any toolbar
button, menu item or subitem, or it can be incorporated into a custom
split view or simply made available as a screen type to create a view
(that sounds like what you want to do).

I haven't gone through the actual details but this process should get
you pointed in the right direction:
1. Create the form
2. Create a new single view with the screen type as your form. Note:
your form may need to be transferred to your Global via the organizer
before it will show up as an available screen type.
3. Check the box to show the new view in the menu

Assuming all that goes smoothly you should now be able to select your
new form as the bottom pane of a split window. To distribute it to other
users, use the organizer to copy the new view with the form and the new
form to a blank Project file and distribute it to other users. They will
need to load both the new view and form into their Global.

Give it a try. Let me know how it works out and if you have any other
questions, let us know.

Newbie resource question

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 11:08 AM PDT

Got it - thanks. At the moment it's a steep learning curve (is it just me or does Project have the worst help system so far?).

It works but it seems an ugly way to do things. If Ive got the thing right then I'm always going to have over or under utilised resources despite the fact that they are working full time to the limit of their capability in this area (they have to work in other 'normal' time based tasks as well.)

Seriously considering the Dummies book...... ;)

Hi,

It depends on two things:
-Which data are exactly available and
- How familiar you are with VBA programming

You can have performances (throughput/hour) as a number field in your
resource sheet (amchines being the resources) and volumes in a number field
of ech task - in the case of my customer it was in the summary task spanning
all production steps for a batch.

But I cannot qualify "difficulty", I'm too biased - ¨Project is the only
product I have ever known in depth so for me this is very "easy" and
"simple" (but nearly all features or Word remain mysteries, I do not know
pivot things in Excel, and I cannot address a table in Access) - I 'm

Trying to remotely troubleshoot printing problems is always dicey since
each user has their own printer type, settings and print drivers.
Without actually seeing your file and probably not having the same
printer setup as you I can only guess at some things. Take a look at
File/Print. In the Print window is there a option to set Manual Page
Breaks? If it is not checked, check it. Hopefully that will resolve the

Setting a constraint to a day of the week not a Date

Posted: 26 Jul 2004 01:56 PM PDT

A "constraint" in Project is not quite what you're looking for - a
constraint is a limitation that says "never schedule this task earlier than
xx date" for example. What I think you're looking for is a rule that says
"this task must only be scheduled on a Monday." This is not a constraint in
the technical definition of the term but it is easily accomplished by
defining a calendar (Tools, ChangeWorkingTime, New) that shows Monday as the
only working day and using it as a task calendar (TaskInformationForm,
Advanced tab). If the *training* task only may take place on Mondays make
your Monday Only calendar training's task calendar. If training can only
*start* on Mondays but can continue on Tuesday Wednesday etc, create a
milestone task that has your Mon Only task as its task calendar that is a
predecessor in the link leading to the training task - in that case, you
might also want to make the Mon Only show only one minute working time
shortly before the start of the real workday so training is positioned
correctly at the start of the day.

Invalid "Office In Use" Dialog

Posted: 15 Jan 2008 11:19 PM PST

Well, I used the Remove Office application, and at first I thought it was going to fix everything. I found two copies of Office on my computer, one of which I had never installed. (It said "Office X (including Test Drive.) However, I had to run the program twice before it got rid of my version of Office 2004 even though I selected it both times. Also, when I reinstalled Office 2004 and ran it, it gave me a message saying "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework Library," followed by the same dialog I've been getting.

Some other interesting things: I have a file that I keep on my hard drive with two keys for my copy of Office 2004. I found out recently on Microsoft's support site that the "Student" version of Office 2004 (which I have) for some reason came with multiple keys like this. The first one doesn't ever seem to work when I type it in, though it could be that I wrote it down wrong when I created the document to back up my keys. Could it be a problem with the key I'm typing in?

Also, I don't think it could be someone cloning my computer. I keep seeing completely new names whenever I run Office and get the message. So unless dozens and dozens of people all decided to mooch off my Office key... sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. :) But I could be wrong.

Posted: 15 Jan 2008 11:26 AM PST

Home Use Program (HUP) is a program MS has with some companies that provides copies to the company's employees for just S&amp;H (i.e. $19.95).

Right now they offer Office X and the "current version" Office 2004. I am checking every day to see if Office 2008 is added... I'm not sure if it is something the company has to arrange per some agreement, or whether MS should just alter the program to account for the "current version."

Gary,

I responded to your first post on this topic earlier today. The wanswer is
still the same: Installing the Crystl desinger on the CRM server can
potentially break the CRM Reporting configuration. You could always try running
a client session with Virtual PC to do the report mods though.

Hi,

I see many of you through the posts have created standalone CRM boxes for
demoing, etc that included AD, Exchange, CRM and the DB. I have done the
same and although slow at times, it certainly does work just using a Windows
2000 Server on a laptop. My question is, I know want to add Crystal Reports
and the Crystal Enhancement in order to create and modify a couple reports.
The manual says you should not install Crystal Reports and the enhancement
on the same box as your CRM server but we all know that some things are
written as 'recommendations' and some are written as 'you really better
not'.

Anybody try this?

Thanks in advance - Gary

MS CRM and 3rd Party Integration

Posted: 06 Apr 2004 12:07 PM PDT

Matt,

Thanks for the clarification Matt! :)

But you think i can use the "callouts" and dont use MSMQ?
I heard within callouts, i can create an integration using this. on Post
event, i can call the "callout" that calls the 3rd party application to do
additional validation like updating a certain field.

When i use callout on POST-event, does it go and send a msg to MSMQ? Can i
eliminate the MSMQ process, and do what i have to do to call my 3rd party
application from hte POST event callout?

Extremely Large DB Files

Posted: 05 Apr 2004 07:44 PM PDT

Steve,

It is odd that the log on the Metabase DB should be so large. It is common to
see this on the actual CRM DB though.

You can recover the space though fairly easily. Easiest way to shrink the log
is as follows::

- Go into Enterprise Manager
- Pull up the properties on the Metabase DB
- Change recovery mode to Simple
- Close property page
- Shink the log file
- Right click DB name
- All tasks
- Shrink database
- Click on Files
- Selec the log file from the drop down
- Choose the "Shrink file to" option
- Pull up the DB propoerties again
- Set recovery mode back to Full

This should give you back some space on your hard drive.

Once you've done this, make sure to perform FULL backups of the database. Then,
you need to ensure that you are performing log backups on a regular basis. This
will prevent the log from growing out of control like this.

If this is purely a demo/dev environment, you could keep the recovery mode at
Simple, which will truncate the log after every transaction.

CRM - Exchange router install

Scott,

You can install on the default website. The isntall will create a new directory
for the CRM router under that. If you have SSL enabled, you will then need to
disable encryption for that directory.

This will not interfere with the OWA functionality in anyway.

SQL Server Name error

Posted: 05 Apr 2004 07:47 AM PDT

It could be related. One downside to the tight integration between CRM and the
other components is that is is extremely sensitive if things are not installed
"cleanly". It's odd though that the web app is working fine and it's the DMF
install that's failing.

One thing you might try is to go into Deployment Manager and then into Server
Manager. Right click on the CRM server and select to modify the SQL
registration (not sure the exact name, but it's obvious). Use this the reset
the linkage to the SQL server. It might clear something up that go bypassed
previously.

Other than that, I don't know what else to recommend except starting over
(including re-installing SQL).

I ran the dropserver proc again and now its gone. Don't know if that would

Getting the incident id

Hello,

Thanks for your replies.

I too want to use only the SDK methods, since it is a
better choice from a security point of view.

But as you suggested i cannot use the CRMIncident class
and the Retrieve method because, it takes the incident id
as an argument. My basic requirement is to get the
incident id based on the ticket number.

Is there any other feature in the SDK?

Changing Organization name

Posted: 05 Apr 2004 01:26 AM PDT

I would be careful trying to make a change like this. While you might be able
to do it, it is equally likely that you will screw up the install. Even worse,
you may not discover the problem until sometime down the road.

If you haven't put much data into the app, I'd recommend uninstalling, removing
the DB's & AD structure and then starting from scratch. At least then you know
it will be OK from the start.

Migrating from pilot to new CRM

Posted: 04 Apr 2004 11:53 PM PDT

But there is embedded security information in some of the binary fields that
wouldn't have been updated properly. Using the DMF would have updated these
fields to be in synch with the new installation. I'm not saying it can't be
done, only that it takes a lof of effort to get everything working properly.
Using the DMF eliminates the need for that effort.

It's not surprising that newly created records appear properly, as they were
created using the app and thus would have had the security info set properly.

Matt,

Used the DMF to populate the new CRM database .. and only
had a few customisations to the Sales portion of CRM.

Looking at the Migration framework .. it's not as if it
gives you anything specific and fantastic over just
shoving the data in there yourself using SQL. You still
have to use Bulk Inserts and DTS, and hence I just went
through most of my tables and mapped old -- new GUIDS for
Territory id, SystemuserId and BusinessUnitID (and
OrganisationID).

All migrated across with no errors and hence the fresh
install included with new AD objects now works fine.


Although it is only this Admin user that is affected. And
from what I can tell. All freshly created objects appear
under the Creator Ownner and now the Admin user aswell.

Posted: 04 Apr 2004 03:12 AM PDT

I guess, in theory, you could modify most of the forms and other elements in an
unsupported way to have new translations. I don't know if I would want to
undertake that effort though. There have been a few posts recently about
modifying the underlying resources to cange the text on some of the "stock" tabs
that you may be able to expand upon.

Of course, the problems you're gonna face are not the navigational items, but
the error messages. I can only imagine that some of these are raised from the
other layers of the architecture.

Can you do it? Probably. Is it going to be alot of efffort? Definately. Will
it be worth that effort? Personally, I would say no.

There are a lot of things that can go wrong with this product. Once you've done
these changes, you can pretty much guarantee support will tell you you're on
your own since you won't be able to guarantee you didn't break something by
doing this.

CRM Version 2.0

MBS released a product roadmap several months ago that had the December/January
dates in it for v2.0. But I just found an updated version of the roadmap (dated
3/19/04) and the target date has quietly changed to Q2, 2005.

Of course, the roadmap boldly indicates that it is for planning purposes only
and there is no real commitment yet to these dates or features.

Multiple email addresses to one queue

Posted: 02 Apr 2004 03:03 PM PST

That's what I was afraid of. I can think of 2 ways to possibly address this.

1) Use an external mail routing to route the emails to the aliases to an
external mail server and then back in to the "real" address. There was a post
over the week that talked about using this approach for internal emails.

2) Setup a queue for each of the inbound emails. Then, have a process that
kicks off on a periodic basis and, using the SDK, re-assigns items from the
alias queues to the "real" queue.

Secondly yes we did try setting up an alias in exchange

because the CRM is grabbing the email before the alias

our end users to be able to have multiple addresses point
