Why didn't you simply change the tape? "Sense key medium error"
is indicating that the tape itself is damaged. That should have been
your first target.

This is better.

The "connection refused" error occured because you had no ftp server running.

The "421 Service not available" error comes directly from the ftp server. A
"4xx" level message is one that indicates a transient error condition. The
"x2x" level of the message indicates that it is a reply referring to a control
or data connection. So, you are connecting with a live ftp server, and it is
telling you that it cannot let you continue.

So, this indicates an ftp server configuration condition that's causing the
ftp server to refuse connections. Take a look at the man page for your ftp
server (in.ftpd) and see what configuration files are used. Take a look at
those files, and see if there's anything that would cause the server to reject
the connection with a 421 error. Try the /etc/ftpaccess file, and see if there
are any date/time limits set, or client address restrictions.

debian sarge DVD apt setup fails during base install

Did all of the above before seeking help here. As of tonight I was able to

during apt configuration chose filesystem as opposed to editing
sources.list, pointed to /usr/local/src/dvd1 and apt was happy. It may be
that when I first tried to do it that way with the actual DVD that I
forgot to mount the disc. I shouldn't be making that mistake after the
last few years of using linux, but at this point I won't swear I didn't.

Next step is to start over from scratch and see if it works correctly this

rw vs. umask in mount call, also, conditional mounting

Posted: 07 Oct 2004 08:28 AM PDT

On Thu, 2004-10-07 at 08:28 -0700, gonzalo briceno wrote: 

The 'rw' option is something passed to the mount command that tells it
to mount the selected item as both readable and writable; 'ro' is the
complementary option, which says to mount it as 'read only'. If you
specify 'ro' then that will set the *entire* item as read only,
*regardless* of individual file permissions.

The umask basically sets up the 'default' permissions set that will be
applied to any new file created within that mountpoint (actually, it's a
bit more complicated than that; check 'man 2 umask' for details--it's
essentially a 'mask' for allowable permissions). Essentially, requested
permissions => umask filter = actual permissions applied to created
file. Note, you can use chmod to change the actual permissions of the
file later; the umask only applies to newly created files.
 

Well, technically, no, because the mount command defaults to whichever
option (rw vs. ro) is most appropriate for the media (I believe so
anyway; somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, as the man page doesn't
specify). For instance, a CDROM will always be mounted as 'ro' because
'rw' is meaningless to a CD. However, it's always better to explicitly
specify it in the /etc/fstab file, just so it serves as a reminder of
how the mount point is set up.

Anyway, your presumption isn't true; if you want to be able to write to
the mount point *at all*, you *need* to specify the 'rw' option (whether
explicitly or through mount presuming it for you).
 

Yup. If you need to *ever* be able to write to the device, you *need* to
specify the 'rw' option, either explicitly or through mount presuming it
for you. If you specify 'ro', you won't be able to write to that device
*at all*, regardless of individual file permissions. Think of it as a
master override.
 

Probably not the way you're thinking. Each slot on your card reader is a
separate drive, as far as Linux is concerned, so each slot is assigned
its own device, regardless of whether there's actually a card present or
not (technically, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are the drives
themselves; /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 refer to the first partition on the
media inserted into the drive). You *can* (and should) have a separate
line in /etc/fstab for each slot. Entries in /etc/fstab just define
*how* to mount the device, not whether it is *actually* mounted
(well ... actually, mount scans entries in /etc/fstab at bootup to
determine which ones to mount automatically, by checking for the 'auto'
and 'noauto' tags).

Supermount has nothing to do with recognizing new drives and/or
partitions; *all* it handles is the mounting and unmounting of removable
media (CDs, floppy disks, media cards, etc). The detection of new
potential devices is handled through the hotplug mechanism. Try
unplugging your card reader; if everything's set up correctly, the
entries in /etc/fstab defining the slots in your card reader will
shortly disappear. Once you plug it back in, they should shortly
reappear (although they will be the defaults that Mandrake sets up,
rather than any customizations you may have made).

Grub: can grub execute a script/batch file?

Sean Cleary <com> wrote: 
 

Then why do you ask the boot loader to do it now, instead of leaving it
to the [d]O/S, like you did before?
 
 

Oh. Well, the windows o/s as it comes has no driver for linux file
systems, so you would have to put your grub.conf and other stuff on a
vfat filesystem so that windows can edit it (and so can linux).

Grub is lacking in the "do what I want, not what you want me to do"
department.
 

Well, you can't do that all in grub. The grub boot loader (second
stage?) reads the conf file to find out what image or boot sector it
ought to transfer control to next. That's where the "default" info
comes from. There is no "default" info implanted into the boot sector or
map file as with lilo, so you have toedit that file.

Thus you need to boot an operating system that can launch an
application that can edit it. It seems to me that you will have to
handle the windows "default" by doing whatever trick you did before
with msdos and moving into place a grub.conf file that says "boot to
a windows boot sector and let it decide via its boot.ini what to do
next".

 

Well, find out.

Modules in 2.6 end in a .ko extension (for "kernel object"); however,
using a 2.4 module in 2.6 will, very likely, just fail to work, as the
API is certainly different (although perhaps not in ways that matter to
this module), and the ABI is probably different.

AFAIK, the only way to use a 2.4 module in 2.6 is to recompile it from
source, using the desired 2.6 kernel as the base. If the APIs that the
module relies on have not changed, that should work; if they have
changed, then the module will need to be adapted to the 2.6 APIs.

Also, if you do not have MOD_VERSIONS enabled, this just won't work,
period, as the kernel will be unable to verify which ABI the module is
compiled for. It *may* appear to install, but I wouldn't rely on it.

After a quick search, however, I'd guess your hopes of getting it to
work under 2.6 are probably doomed; check

Hi Kenny,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

That's what Project is designed to do! Reading between your lines, I
suspect that you have typed in dates into tasks, which is not a good idea as
that is what Project does so well: ie calculate the dates and create an
acceptable schedule for you. Every time you enter a date (or move a bar on
the Gantt chart) Project will assume that's what you want and puts in a
Start No Earlier Than constraint. These constraints will affect the
flexibility of your project and produce the results you're experiencing.
No - the best way to use Porlect is enter Tasks, enter Durations and enter
the Precedence (logic) links (with lag as necessary) and then leave Project
to do what it's best at - calculating the dates. Had you done that and put
in the appropriate lags that you needed, then you would not be posting here!
Sorry :( but your only sensible way out is to remove all the constraints
and enter in the correct lag figures.

this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

Foreign Calendar support

Posted: 14 Sep 2004 01:44 PM PDT

Yes, that's correct, you would be unable to import or create projects with
dates prior to 1984. But why would you want to? A "plan" implies future
intent so other than as a purely academic demonstration, why would we create
a project file for, say, the building of the Panama Canal? Projects that
straddle today's date, with some activity in the past and more in the future
that you are moving over into Project to better manage the future activity
will have most likely started less than 20 years ago. Now if we ever get
time travel MS may need to rethink the situation .... <grin>

The date range is actually driven by the way numbers are stored. Dates are
stored as an integer count of the number of 1/10 minutes "ticks" that have
passed since "moment zero." A reasonable value, 1/1/84, was arbitrarily
chosen as the start point and the register is full and overflows back to
zero again when the number of ticks equals 2^32-1, which turns out to be
31/12/2049.

Science, transportation, communications, and other businesses world-wide
tend to use the western Gregorian calendar even in those countries where
there are other traditional calendars in everyday use. An idea I've floated
to some of my classes when you encounter a situation like yours where you
need to coordinate projects with non-collocated resources in differing time
zones or that use various calendars is to follow the military and global
aviation example and as an organization standardize on UTC (Universal
Coordinated Time, GMT, or "Zulu Time") as the date and time measure that all
the organizations activities are referred to.

Nokia, with the exception of the occasional MS mole or two, has as a
company policy of strong support for open standards and lately even open
source. The next platforms are to be built on a modified Debian called
Maemo and even sponsoring porting Ubuntu to the ARM architecture.

If they don't sync with your Nokia. It should sync, but if it doesn't
then that capability is probably not far off. Be sure to file bug
reports on both sides.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha

A combination of Inkscape and OOo Writer or Scribus is going to give you

Note that some typos in one language can make senese in another one.
Thus you must assure that you have the desired AutoCorrection entries
for the same language that is set in the document.

(2) When adding AutoText entries...
After you entered the "Replace" and "With" field, you have to click
"New" in to get that entry into the list. Only clicking "OK" quits the

Hi Marty --

I'm just another OOo user, not a representative of OOo in any way. I
just thought to ask, have you also posted to OpenOffice-related
discussion groups using the address being spammed? When you post to
discussion lists your address is revealed, which would make it possible
that a spammer simply harvested your email address (and thousands of
others) from list mail and/or archives.

[discuss] About Filter Data, please help me.

Posted: 17 May 2008 04:44 PM PDT

2008/5/18 NoOp <net>:
 

I have recently seen a similar issue with autofilter for a file imported
from Excel.
Make sure you remove any custom defined ranges as this is what very often
causes the problem.
1) remove the autofilter
Data > Filter > Autofilter

2) Remove any pre-defined range
Data > Define Range
then select any range in the list and press Delete.

3) try the auto filter now
Data > Filter > Autofilter

[discuss] How can I remove the language attribute from textin Writer?

Posted: 13 May 2008 01:21 AM PDT

Cor Nouws wrote: 

You know it:

Set the default language to "English (US)"

Enter in two lines of text with random text with an Enter at the end.
(You might include "colour" in the first line and "color" in the second
line)

Highlight the first line & make it as "English (GB)". (The word "colour"
will no longer have redline)

Copy something from the middle of the second line. (Eg: Use the word
"color")

Paste it in middle of the first line as unformatted text or
OpenOffice.org text.

Put the cursor in the middle where the text was pasted. It still reads
"English (GB)", the word "color" is redlined and paste is not 100%
completely unformatted.
 

But it is still an attribute of the text which is stored in
Paragraph/Character styles. I'd excepted that "Reset" and "Default
Formatting" should remove a layer of formatting per application.
 

Why languages are still selectable in that pane anyway? If I press
"Reset", I expect all overriding attributes in that pane to be cleared
including language.

Maybe if you move the languages under its own pane in the style editor
where the "Reset" button would make proper sense. Note! There are three
languages in the style editor, but not one. I have CJK & CTL modes
enabled. I generally need to use Ruby & other CJK formatting in my STL
documents.

Someday, it may be possible for a font to have metadata to allow some
the glyphs to appear different for certain languages. I don't know any
rendering engines or fonts that supports such metadata, but I put that
there for a possibility. This metadata feature would be especially
useful for Pan-CJK fonts & Pan-Unicode fonts.

Yet! Why there isn't a "Reset All" button to have a Reset to include
Language, or an "Advanced Reset" to allow me to Reset on per-attribute
basis.

I want full control of document formatting. The inability of or
complications in removing non-stylesheet language formatting doesn't
meet that goal.
 

That maybe a possibility if double-click on paragraph style's name twice
is implemented. Also, a triple click to remove non-stylesheet language.

As a sidenote! I can't override "Default" character style definition,
but I can override the "Default" paragraph style definition.
 

I'd not expect to write English in an Esperanto paragraph, and vice
versa. :-)
 

Here is another example for use of "default" language:

If I am composing educational documents with versions for different
English language markets. The documents contains intentional examples of
regional variations with manual language formatting.

When I ready to create a version of a document for a English Language
market. I just change the language dialect of the paragraph style to see
the red lines for color/colour, etc. for fixing up spelling, but all
intentional examples containing regional variation examples will not be
affected by the redline effect.

Another example that I might be writing a script for a stageshow which
contains characters who use different dialects of English and/or foreign
languages, but I want all the non-dialog text (eg: Instructions for
actors) to be only in a single English dialect.
 

Look, the paragraph/character stylesheets still have language options.
If you say that language is no longer stylesheet related, wy are they
"still" there in stylesheet options?

You don't realize that some languages may have different paragraph
layout requirements so the language attribute is an important part of
the paragraph stylesheet.

The stylesheet linked "default" language behaviour still exists in
OpenOffice.org 2.4 try it.

I create a new style "Default (GB)" which is a copy of "Default" but
with "English (GB)". The original default is set to "English (US)"

I write line of text with paragraph style "Default". (Use example text
"color colour")

Put the cursor in the middle of line, bottom of screen reads "English (US)".

I change the line to paragraph style "Default (GB)"

The bottom of screen reads "English (GB)"

I change the line back to paragraph style "Default"

The bottom of screen reads "English (US)"

Yep! The "Default" language is still linked to stylesheets. I still
consider that language is an attribute of paragraph and character. Why
the stylesheet options for them still have language options in them?

Without the ability to easily remove non-stylesheet languages, I would
have to write a OpenDocument XML tool to strip all non-stylesheet
languages to correct theis "problem" which 2.4 had created.

Yep! The language attribute in Character/Paragraph styless still exist
at OpenDocument.org XML level.


Next, you would say that you can't remove |lang:en-US> in the future
"Reveal-Codes" enabled version of OpenOffice.org

Hi Andy,

there is no OOo for Smartphones but at least there is an ODF viewer (and
editor IIRC) for Symbian devices: http://www.sept-solutions.com.

Ciao,

test IE7 (even doing Open With and telling it to always use IE7,
it will not work).

So, Ed, can you change to Firefox? Its a great browser.

How to fix "Active Directory Doman Services Unavailable" error

I recently purchased a new Toshiba laptop and installed Microsoft Office and a new printer. However, I want to be able to print to an old HP F4280 printer and am getting the following error when I try to add a device to my computer: "Active Directory Doman Services Unavailable." How can I fix this? 

Whole document acts to a particular action

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 09:05 AM PDT

when ever I select a line for formatting it to the middle of the page or any other action being performed by me, the whole page acts as if the whole page is selected.

What action have I to do in the option page or on any control of the MS office 2007 being used as 2003. the same is tried in MS Word only.

Kindly advice.

Thanks and regards,

Twenty-Year-Old Question About BOLD, *Italic*, and _Underline_

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 08:35 AM PDT

For twenty years, in no matter which version of Word, and no matter whether a keyboard or mouse "turns off" bold, italic, or underline... (SEE, it just did it now)... Anyway, no matter how I have turned off formatting, if I do not put a space (spacebar space) between the last formatted character (as in the "e" in the word "underline" here) and the next character--which should be returned to "normal"--the formatting continues. 

Right now, working in Sigil (not Word, but using .CSS that calls itself MsNormal), and having copied-and-pasted chunks of text from Word 2010, I finally decided I would ask this question: Why, if one mouse-clicks or keyboard-commands a certain type of formatting to turn off, does the formatting NOT turn off? For twenty years, I have done the following: 1) turned off formatting; 2) Hit the Spacebar; 3) resumed "normal" font; 4) then hit the Backspace key to join the formatted text to (generally) a punctuation mark. So that when I write Hello, Microsoft Word Experts Named Susan or Charles! Hmm...I didn't have to follow the four steps just now. Let me try this again. Hello, Microsoft Word Experts Who Respond to Curmudgeons! and By Curmudgeon I Mean More 'Mudgeon' than 'Cur'... It happened. 

In the first instance, when I Unclicked "ITALICS," and then typed the exclamation point, the exclamation point immediately "righted" itself with no need for my cha-cha-cha of Unclicking, Hitting Spacebar, Resuming Normal, Backspacing to Fill in the Void. BUT in the second example, the underlining, when I Unclicked "Underline" but then hit Space, the underlining continued.

Is this a user- or Word-based quirk? I do not know why I've done this for twenty years without asking. That is a user-based quirk. 

Thank you.

Office 365 not working with wifi. But Netflix, MMORPGs and all other programs working well on wifi

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 07:49 AM PDT

Very embarrassing, I purchased Office 365 so my daughter could work her summer internship. It failed terribly. Could not keep connection going for more then 2-3 minutes on wifi. She was able to get Netflix to run, as well as tested my Dark age of Camelot MMORPG both worked fine on same wifi.

2013 Word Heading Numbers don't display correctly

I had redefined Heading Number list, saved file, openend file and no problem.  Renamed the file and when I opened it the Numbered list does not display correctly.  In the Navigation pane, the list shows correctly but in the document, instead of numbers, there is a black solid box. 

 

I have checked the font highlighting to make sure there is no color over the text.  See attached screen image of a crop out from by One Note.

A correspondance problem between the footnote number and the content

Posted: 20 Jul 2013 04:35 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis; and I am using EndNote to keep track of my bibliographic source. Everything was okay, then I noticed today that the footnote number and the content of what should be in that footnote do not correspond in several footnotes. For example, footnote 20 will have a reference to a book by Smith, but it should be reference to a book by Jones. And Jones is now in footnote 22 instead. And on and on.

Is there anything I can do besides manually change a hundred or so footnotes.

Documents are saved in old Office versions

Posted: 20 Jul 2013 12:08 PM PDT

Everything was wonderful! until one day, I found myself 'signed out' (I didn't do it!) and my documents wouldn't open properly. I signed in and thought it was OK, but ever since then when I open a document – not just older ones! - I get an error message: "There was a problem sending to the command program" followed by "the converter failed to save the file". Then the document opens with a new name, involving 1's 0's and X's. I find I can open the document if I open the associated Office program first and then open the document, but that's not how it worked, the first few months, and I don't think it should be that way. I see that documents are all being saved in an older (2007) Office format and I wonder if that might be the main problem. Thanks, in advance, for your help!!
