CD mount problems in kernel 2.6.9

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 04:55 PM PST

Hi,

I have module-init-tools version 3.1 installed. I could not find ide-cd
module. I went and reconfigure kernel with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
option and found ide-cd module.

But it still doesn't work (and I am getting a different error)
eject -v /dev/hdc
eject: device name is `/dev/hdc'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/hdc'
eject: `/dev/hdc' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/hdc' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

Mount returns the following:
mount -t udf,iso9660 -o noauto,owner,kudzu,ro /dev/hdc /tmp
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

And dmesg returns:

Needed help with Linux installation

Posted: 18 Dec 2004 10:40 AM PST



For those of you who maybe trying to do an initial Linux install
from the CD set and get as far as doing the base install then get the
message:

"deboot strap exited with an error (return value 1)"

followed by the error message:

"Failure trying to run chroat/target dpkg force depend "

and then it tells you the install will terminate and that it
appears you are trying to do the Linux install over a previously
installed version of Linux.

The TM got around this error by not accepting the default position
of the partition to do the install on which was "hda1." Changing it to
the larger folder "hda3" (note your setup cold be different) solved the
problem and gave the system plenty of hard disk space to install
everything it needed to. It appears Linux was trying to install the
base system files into the boot partition instead of the larger
partition designed to hold the system files.

So if you get the error doing an install check to see what
partition you are loading the base system into and make sure it is the
correct one.

Default link type

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 06:50 PM PST

Hi Makyla

i'm hoping that some of the other people to this forum stop by to give their
opinions ... however, here's mine: -
you CAN schedule from a finish date (project / project information -
schedule from & then put the finish date in), in this way you can still use
the default link types and still achieve what you're after.

However, there has been a number of posts saying that scheduling from a
finish date can product unreliable results and it is always better to
schedule from a start date ... and see what you need to change to achieve
the desired finish date. Unfortunately, i don't know the ins and outs of
the topic but it has something to do with how the critical path is
calculated.

When it comes to SF relationship types there is also a problem with how this
relationship type works when you have more than one predecessor - try this
for an example
(scheduling from a start date) set up a project file as follows:
task 1 - 1d
task 2 - 2d
order materials - 2h
task 5 - 2d - predecessor task 1 FS
task 6 - 2d - predecessor task 2 FS


now what we want to achieve is the ordering of materials to be done before
the start of task 5 or 6 - which ever one comes first .. so we can use a SF
relationship with Task 5 as the predecessor and order materials as the
sucessor .. .and as you notice, project will schedule the order materials
before task 5.

Change the predecessor of order materials to task 6 and project will move
order materials to the start of task 6 - all good .. now make 5 & 6 both
predecessors to the order materials task and notice that project moves it to
the start of the latest one not the start of the earliest one as one would
(possibly) expect.

so basically taking all these things into consideration the recommendation
is that you always schedule from a start date using FS relationships (and
SS / FF & SF were really applicable) and then you look at your project
schedule ... if you're finishing before your deadline, change the start date
.... everything will automatically "adjust", if you're finishing after your
deadline - display the critical path and do what you need to do to bring it
in line.

Hope this helps
Cheers
JulieD

Change default link type

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 06:47 PM PST

You don't need to do that and actually it is strongly advised not to. First
of all, the links describe logical process relationships between your tasks.
Whether you are scheduling from start date forward or finish date backwards,
you have to put up the walls before you put on the roof because the law of
gravity says you can't build the roof in midair and then stuff the walls in
under it. Physics drives it, not convenience or desired timing or even
schedule mandates. "Erect Walls" is the predecessor and "Apply Roof" is the
successor and the relationship is FS because of the inherent nature of the
building construction process and that's just the way it is.

Now, as for scheduling for a specific finish date. The behavior you say you
want is built right into Project without having to "get creative" with the
links. In the Project menu, you can select Project Information and there you
can designate "Schedule from finish date" and it will set up your tasks just
as you say you want. Now, the problem with that is that it will schedule
all your tasks to occur as late as possible to meet your required finish
date. Unfortunately that also makes ALL tasks in your project critical and
you have no margin for error (and there are ALWAYS unforseeable errors). If
just ONE of your tasks takes any longer to complete than you thought it
would or starts later than you'd planned on because, say, a resource called
in sick, you'll miss your required finish date. The far better way is to
schedule from the earliest practical start date forward, set a deadline of
your required finish date, and then tweak the schedule so you meet the
deadline. You'll probably find some tasks are critical and others not,
allowing you to concentrate your management skills where it really counts.
You can then make an informed decision "Do we start 1 Dec which gives us a 2
week cushion at the end or do we start 15 Dec and make sure Tasks 10, 17,
and 22 don't run late at any cost, ready to pull people off of Task 19
(which has a lot of float) if it turns out that one critical task runs late
and we need to move 'em to the delayed task to get it done back on
schedule?"

How do I rename a project after it's been published?

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 09:54 AM PST

We're using 2003. I downloaded and ran the tool but keep getting an error:

"The server did not recognize your request"

I can only seem to log in by checking the "Trusted Connection" checkbox, but
that works fine and shows a list of all projects on Project Server. When I
click "Rename" and enter a new name (or eventhe same name) I get the error
msg above.

Also tried this connected to the server itself so that projectserver could
be accessed at "localhost" which the tool seemed to want, but no luck.

How do you print Gant Schedule?

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 09:09 AM PST

You display the view you want to print hard copy of and then print it. The
limitations you're probably seeing on page size are not a function of MS
Project - that information comes from the printer driver. If you want to
print a page that is a 24x36 or 30x42 ANSI standard Architectural size for
example, you need to have a printer or plotter connected that accomodates
that paper size. If all your printer can output is regular letter or legal
sized pages, printing the views you want will extend over multiple sheets
and you'll need to get out the tape or glue and paste them on a poster
board.

Readonly Fields??

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 06:30 AM PST

Glenn,

So..right now you cannot make any change in that field (the one you are
saying is read only) and you want that field to be editable right? In that
case..you need to change the column definition for that particular column.
double click on the title for that column and if the field name in the column
definition window is ID that's why is is read only. You need to change the
field name either to text or number whatever you demand is for that column.
Then you can enter your own data in there.

Hope it helps..

Hi Kevin,
What a relief! Thank you for clarifing this for me. I was planning on
building a functional office program, for use at home and on a laptop, based
on the "Expanding Database" theory.(Theory for me.)
I have Windows 95 with Works 4.5, and Word 97, and I have another new
computer with Windows XP and Works 8, with some version of Word, and a 60 day
trial for Office 2005, or 2003. Anyway, I'm still using 95 because I never
really completely set-up the XP computer yet. And I never went that far with
Works 4.5 either, as far as making a functional "Office Program" with it, but
the need arises, so I'm back trying to combine tasks. The "Note-it" feature
in 4.5 is real nice, and sorely missed in Works 8.
Thank you again!

Saved word documents are not listed in history

Posted: 04 Nov 2005 01:07 PM PST

Perhaps because it hasn't been opened enough times. Microsoft History
features, in general, tend to need 2 or more openings (hits) before they get
on the history ladder. Then they also need to be within the top 20 for
example. So if your new doc is opened once, as opposed to the top doc that
has been opened 100 times for example, it will take a while for you to see it
on the history list. This is the case with windows START menu (pin) feature,
so I guess it could be applying to Works
etc.

no converter installed gibberish is displayed. However, using "Recover text

Kevin, thanks a bunch. With the link you gave for where that file is located
in various sources, I was able to find it in the named .CAB file on the Works
Suite 2005 CD1, extract it, replace the file in Windows\System, and install
Word 2002. I'm not sure why the installation process didn't extract and
replace it originally, but all's well that ends well. Thanks again.

How to count characters in M.Works?

I have yet to find a quicker route to archive

The old MSWorks WP has it done in seconds.

works database transfer

Posted: 31 Oct 2005 08:18 PM PST

Did you use the built-in WAB address book or create a data base?

The WAB file format is supported by Outlook Express and can be directly
opened by just double clicking the WAB file.

If you made a custom Works data base, then you'll need a version of
Works to open the file and do a Save Sa to another format that you
handle with your current software.

Drop down menu in Word, select the display option but have the value populate

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:09 PM PDT

Hello,

 

I would like to ask if anyone knows how to have a drop down menu in Word populate a secondary value.  Example:  I would like to have a drop down menu of animal names.  When a person selects 'dog' the text that populates is in Spanish, or 'perro').   The idea is that this will be used as a template and someone that does not speak Spanish will be able to customize a letter by selecting the correct English word necessary and it will populate in Spanish for printing. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Mail Merge

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:08 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2010 and have a unique situation:  I need to mail merge about 1700 letters using an Excel database.  I've set up the letters already; the unique part is this:  Each customer is identified by a number (1234-08), then a product (ABC-1).  The problem:  Each product is on a different line in Excel.  Example:

 

Cust. #            Prod

1234-08          ABC-1

1234-08          DEF-2

1234-08          GHI-3

 

Anyone know of a way I can tell Word to grab all the products customer 1234-08 has and put them in one letter addressed to customer 1234-08?  Some of them have over 100 products; I really don't want to have to create individual letters.

BUG: Source Manager dialog preview pane word-wraps unnecessarily in narrow column 4 characters wide.

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 01:29 PM PDT

When looking at sources in source manager, the citation in the preview pane is only 4 characters wide. See image.

This is not a problem in Word 2007.

BUG: Update Citations and Bibliography Crashes - Word in Office 365, same issue as in Word 2007

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 01:10 PM PDT

I have a large document with approximately 900 references/sources.

Every time I try to update Citations and Bibliography, it crashes.

eventviewer shows:
Faulting application winword.exe, version 15.0.4517.1505, stamp 51bfe4f8, faulting module mso.dll, version 15.0.4517.1508, stamp 51dc5c12, debug? 0, fault address 0x00fedd9a.

Based on my previous research, the problem stems from the way the citations engine generates a HUGE UNDO STACK. You can watch the winword process take up ever more memory, over the course of about 4 hours, until at about 1.6 to 1.8Gb it falls over. Of course it never commits, so when the document is recovered it is as it was before.

I'm running win7 64bit on a i5 processor, 6Gb RAM, approx 240Gb free disk. Word has minimal add-ins and Physical Memory is only about 50% used when it fails. I don't think it's a disk space / RAM amount Issue. Since it fails when there is apparently plenty of free memory and disk, there must be some other internal limit.

This problem has existed since Word 2007 - see my previous discussion here and here.

I paid the money and upgraded to Office 365 in the hope it would alleviate the problem I have been having with Word 2007. But it didn't.

A work-around would be to switch off the Undo function temporarily, but there appears to be no way to do that.

This is a pretty terminal bug - I can't feasibly update my citations manually. Consequently the citations numbers in my document don't necessarily match the citations in the bibliography - rendering the entire citation idea useless. I hope someone at Microsoft will pay attention to Word citations which seems to have been the poor relation of the MS Word project.


Bug in word 2013

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 12:34 PM PDT

Hi, I have found a really annoying bug in word 2013 x64
Consider this:
I have a page full of images, they are all set up with Tight Text wrapping, and their position is fixed on the page.
I want to insert another page, so I double click at the end of page 1 to create a new page.
It creates a new page, but when I click in the new page, Word Crashes.
However, If I use the arrow keys to navigate to the page, word does not crash!

Problem with Collapsing Headings

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 11:31 AM PDT

Hi,

I am working on a document with a multilevel list; there are 3 levels and each level is based on a heading style so that it is collapsible. I've recently encountered a strange problem that doesn't seem to happen with any regularity: Occasionally, collapsing one heading will cause the following heading of the same level to indent to the next level and collapse as well. For example:

Two sections with the same heading style:

A) Heading name
Content
B) Heading name
Content

Collapsed, it looks like this:

A) Heading name
    B) Heading name


I really can't figure out why it is doing this. As I said, it doesn't do this with any apparent regularity... there are many other parts of my document that have the same format and the headings collapse just fine. Any insight would be appreciated. Hopefully I explained this well enough.


footnotes multiple citations separator

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 11:21 AM PDT

With multiple citations at the same spot in the text, Word 2007 has no separation between the different footnote numbers.  Do I need to manually add a superscripted comma (or other separator)  at each point?  Or is there some easier method to specify the separator that I am overlooking?

HOW CAN I REPAIR THE SLOW RESPONCE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WHEN WRITING AND BACKSPACING IN WORD TABLES OF OFFICE 2013?

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 09:51 AM PDT

Hi everyone, I made some tables in Microsoft Word 2013 to write some census data and I have a slow response problem when writing and backspacing. It is time consuming because I have to wait some seconds to see the display of words and the same occurs when eraising a word with backspace. I uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Office Professional Plus and activate but the issue was not resolved. I own a new Gateway notebook with 64bits Windows 8 operational system.

adjust watermark to page width (beyond page margins)

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 07:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I've inserted a watermark into a page, but it's cut by the page margins. But if I set the page margins to 0 in order to make my watermark occupy the whole page width, the text on the page will become wider too. Is there a solution to this problem?

Merging into the Header

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 07:04 AM PDT


 I am doing a Word merge from a Progress program. (Progress is a database

language).  The merge I am doing is a Catalog/Directory.


When I put a merge variable in the heading, the merge does not put a value in it.

The merge variables in the body work fine.

 

It seems that this problem is confined to the Catalog/Directory type of merge.

 Funny thing is, if I bring up the same document and run the merge just from Word,

the variable in the header gets its value just fine. From the Progress program, it

skips the variable in the heading but does the variables in the body.

 

Someone else tried the same thing using the Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2010

Express).  Their results were the same as mine, the header did not get merge

values.

 

I cannot be the only person in the world with this problem.  What can anyone tell

me?  Thanks.

Problem with syles not updating (MS Word 2013)

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 11:11 PM PDT

I have a very large document (dissertation) with over 700 footnotes.  Some of the text in the footnotes has been placed into the documents from a citation manager (Zotero) and although they assure me it does not import a font/style it arrives in a different font to the surrounding text.
Even though I have styles defined and applied to a text selection (with 'update automatically' checked), the fonts won't update - perhaps because there is more than one font in the selection?  How can I force the whole selection (all footnotes) to update to the defined style?

Can cross-references be preserved in converting from Word 2010 to PDF?

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 08:47 PM PDT

I run Word 2010 under Windows 7. I often have need to make PDFs from Word documents and find that the Save as PDF function is, to say the very least, not an improvement over using Adobe Acrobat plug-ins in earlier versions of Word. Word's insistence on degrading images, even when it mendaciously claims to be producing a file suited for printing, is widely known and lamented. But I have another problem that is even more significant in many cases: Word's failure to preserve cross-references in converting to PDF. Specifically, (1) the links in the Table of Contents and Table of Figures are lost. (2) The links to footnotes and endnotes are lost. (3) Manually inserted cross-reference links are lost. 

I suppose it's a forlorn hope, but I wonder whether anyone knows of a way to preserve the functionality of cross-references in converting to PDF – something short of manually inserting hundreds of individual links in the PDF file itself.

Multiple horizontal lines in Word 2013

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 08:23 PM PDT

 I have documents that have been created from Nuance PDF convertor to Word 2013. I want to increase the font size but there are lots of horizontal lines in the document and when the font is increased the lines are in the wrong place. How can I easily delete the lines or make sure that when I increase the font size they move in line with the increase?

 

I will need to do this often so your help would be really appreciated.

Margins in Word 2003

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 04:23 PM PDT

I am writing a book for submission to CreateSpace, which requires left and right margins that are a minimum of .75 inches (for a book longer than 150 pages).  As near as I can tell, Word 2003 has only increments of .1 (i.e. .7 or .8.).  Does anyone know if that is correct?
