debian sarge 2.6.11 kernel?

Posted: 02 Feb 2005 02:32 PM PST

John Hasler <gt.org> wrote in 

Hmmmm.... Are we both talking about the scary message that comes up when
you run make-kpkg? That message was pretty scary. It even said "I assume
you know what you are doing. Now that is scary.

I dunno. I was just assuming that the problem was with initrd/cramfs ...
whatever the heck it is. I think it's a good assumption, though, because
when I'm booting the 2.6.8 kernel it syas found "found cramfs" very early
in the boot messages. All I really know is that after installing the
kernel, my laptop wouldn't boot.

But I don't really know why it crashed because I'm blind and it crashed
before it fed any text to the serial port where the speech synthesizer is
connected. Nothing came out there.

This is indeed scary if you're blind because to go back to the old kernel,
you have to cursor odwn to the other kernel and the thing isn't talking yet
at that point. Picture yourself trying to recover from a kernel panic w/o a
monitor.

So maybe I was closer to geting the thing to work than I thought. When I
asked the Magic 8 ball if I should try again it said "Outlook good".

I'll have to think about it though. It's a lot of work and daisy (that's
her name) is working (more or less) at the moment.

I have a plip connection to the outside world so I do have an internet
connection even though I have no pcmcia. Downloaded emacspeak audio
desktop, an mp3 player, I'm all set eexcept for ethernet.

Samba and symlinks

You need to be clear just _how_ you are accessing the Samba shares from
Linux as they are not equivalent. Eg., smbmount is available only on
Linux and it "translates" Win behavior (or in this case, fails to) to
be more consistent with Linux filesystem behavior. Thus links will
show as links, not as the files they point to -- just as links are
treated for other Linux fs types. Links _may_ be followed when you
_access_ them with the 'follow symlinks' set in smb.conf, not when you
simply _list_ directory contents. This is why link names are usually
the same as the filename to provide a measure of transparency. The
link creator must provide this.
 

Can't remember about this one. In any case, your problem has to do
with smbmount -- if that's the way you are accessing the Samba share.
The server sends the same data over the wire (as it must to "conform"
to NB/CIFS). The smbmount code, otoh, _knows_ it's running on Linux
(since it only runs on Linux) and uses the data to be most consistent
with Linux fs behavior. The assumption being that this would also be
the most useful. Not so for your tastes.

the filesystem tree on Linux behave in the standard Linux fashion and
some other portion comform to Windows behavior.

This is how smbmount is designed to behave. It is not designed to
behave as your stated wish to behave as a Windows box.

I may not be understanding your "problem" (would not be the first time
with my dense skull).

I also don't have Samba shares available or any Samba components loaded
on this machine I'm using, so can't do any quick tests to _see_ if I am
understanding your situation.

If you are using a gui client on your Linux box, I can't remember how
all of them handle this. Windows users are often bewildered by this
explict reminder of the distinction between links and files, especially
if they use the default setup that "hides" known filetype extensions.

If I'm completely offbase just s*&tcan this and tell me to go play with

I'm not in FC3 right now, so I can't do an ls.

I can tell you that I replied to my own first post as soon as I found
how correct my syntax so that mount did what I intended it do do. I
didn't know the command I was looking for was:

[shell] mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2

I thought I'd tried that, but must've been mistaken. sorry 'bout that.

Yes, the problem is solved, I wasn't giving the command I thought I

Well, I fixed the problem, but unfortunately I don't really know how I
did it. I ended up installing the SELinux packages (policycoreutils and
selinux-policy-targeted), uninstalling the off-the-web 2.6 FC3 kernels,
and reinstalling an off-the-web FC3 kernel. That particular kernel booted.

My only guess is some weird coupling between the udev and SELinux
packages. Before I did the whole SELinux trick, I noticed after every
reboot (when I was looking at the system from a recovery CD), the /dev
directory lacked many of the devices (most notably the /dev/vc devices)
that exist on every other FC3 machine I have administered. I read a ton
about udev but could not find anything that would point me in the right
direction.

I ended up changing not a single thing with udev, but installed SELinux
and uninstalled and reinstalled the off-the-web kernel, and that worked
fine. I wish I knew more about what exactly happened, but that's as far
as I got with it.

Thanks for your time and the responses,

Jeff

Office is not an Apple product so they can not help you.

I suggest you first try to work with the store where you purchased your
product. Show them you're missing the Product Key and ask that they
allow you to trade for a copy of Office that's complete. If necessary,
request that they open a package so they can compare it to yours.

If they will not help you then contact Microsoft (it's not that bad).
Start here <http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub> and follow
the links to get to the appropriate E-mail addresses and phone numbers
for your location and product.

Provided you can show proof of purchase then they should be willing to
provide you with replacement Product Keys.

Know beforehand that you're allowed two free product support calls. If
they request you pay first you can refuse. If they insist on payment
upfront then you should be refunded (or not charged) once they
understand the problem.

Hope this helps!

line spacing in Excel

Posted: 16 Aug 2008 11:53 AM PDT

As I said, I don't have X available but if you want to send me a copy of the
file I'll be happy to check it over. Depending on what I can find there are
others who may able to compare it using Excel X.

The the title of the Alignment & Spacing section in the FP is a misnomer -
there is nothing there that has to do with spacing at all (other than
Horizontally by way of Indentation), let alone Line Spacing for text. The
only thing that influences spacing between lines of text in a cell is
Vertical> Justify, but it offers no actual line spacing control.

Fonts have Leading values designed into them which determine the line
spacing which defaults to what most people refer to as single spaced. The
standard is 120% of the Font size. Word processing programs, Desktop
Publishing programs, etc. normally provide control over line spacing, but
Excel does not.

Based on that plus the fact that your Office X installation may be using a
different version of Verdana than what's used by Office 2008 it may very
well make the difference. I don't claim to have the explanation, I'm just
exploring possibilities :-) Run Font Book to see if you have duplicate of
Verdana. Ruse Edit> Resolve Duplicates if there are any & see if that makes
any difference.

Missing task launch bar in Works 8.0

Let me guess. You have an Acer laptop (Aspire series).

Use the following steps:

1. Click on Start, and then click Run

2. Type "regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll" without the quotes, then OK

3. You will receive a message that the registration has succeeded.

4. You must restart your computer first before testing Microsoft Works
again.

5. If this does not resolve the issue, download the latest XML parser
version (MSXML 3.0 SP7) by using the following link

Hi there,
We are a retail store and have had many Acer laptops come back with the
same problem. After 25 minutes on the phone to Microsoft the very
helpful tech guy at the other end fixed the problem.

It seems that Acer's software is faulty (they didn't want to hear about
it though) and you'll need to register the MS XML Parser to make it
work.

To do this, you just need to go to Start -> Run then type "regsvr32
msxml3.dll" without the quotes, then click 'Ok.'

You should get a message telling you that it succeeded. If this doesn't
work, just go to Microsoft's Website and download the latest XML Parser
version, then install it.

Hope this helps.

Works 4.5 for Windows 95 Address Database

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 12:16 AM PST

Hi,

I have neither Works 4.5 nor Outlook 2003.

What I would try to do is save the Works 4.5 address book as a .csv (comma
separated text file) then import that file into Outlook.

Open Works address book, choose File, on it's menu choose Save As. In the
Save As dialog window, click the down arrow for Save as Type: select
(*.csv), click Save.

Open Outlook


Select File>Import and Export >Import from Another Program or File


Select above saved Comma Separated Values file.

Hope this helps.

License? am I going to be beat for the code?

Posted: 04 Mar 2006 06:30 PM PST


Thank you, to all who have responded.

You gave me lots of ideas, lots of things to think about, but most likely,
what is going to happen is that I'll follow the consensus, and just call
Dell! Even though that has its negative possibilities!

Sincerely,

incorporating small spreadsheet into an email

Posted: 03 Mar 2006 04:00 PM PST

Hi,

If are unable to view the small spreadsheet in this post or in my previous post then your Outlook Express is configured to Read all messages in Plain Text.

Open Outlook Express, choose Tools, on it's menu choose Options. In the Options dialog window, select the Read tab, uncheck "Read all messages in plain text", click Apply, click OK. Close Outlook Express.

Open Outlook Express and view this message.

Totally reflective in tone but personal experiences could have been used more.

Personal pronouns were used but there is a general feeling of secondary reflection rather than original.

Secondary reflection was used.

It reads like a summary of the notes.

There is no indication at all of personal experiences being used.

Vanished work in Word

Posted: 13 Oct 2013 01:53 PM PDT

I spent an afternoon adding to a previously saved article in Word and accidentally caught my hand on the right side of the keyboard.  My eye left the screen for a split second whilst this happened and when I tried to continue working I discovered all the work I had done this afternoon had vanished.  The restore button was greyed out (it has now returned to normal but still will not retrieve any of the work) and I have searched the hard drive and cannot seem to find it anywhere.  There were approx 1000 words involved.  I have been unable to check the Clipboard as my second problem is that it is showing 3 out of 24 items stored and I do not know how to make the rest visible - on the assumption this missing work may be there.

Creating Drop Down Lists in Word 2013 that also allow users to type in manual entries...

Posted: 13 Oct 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I am having trouble with drop down lists in Word 2013.  When I create Date Picker field, it has the ability to select from a calendar or manually type in the field.  But when I create a drop down list, it only allows for selection from the drop down list and no ability for uses to manual type text if desired.  I want someone using the form to be able to manually type an entry if they desire.  How do I enable this? When I attempt to type in the field, there is a message in the bottom left hand corner of Word indicating that "the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked."  I do not have the check box for "Contents can not be edited" checked in the properties, though I suspect that is not what this is for.  Any suggestions

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could please help me out.

Custom XML Data

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 09:03 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Word 2013. When I opened a few files that had been created in Word 2007, I noticed that under "Inspect Document" it said custom XML data was found. I saved the files under new names and let Word remove the custom XML, but I'm a little concerned about how it got there in the first place as I did not (intentionally, at least) add any XML data. 

Is the presence of XML data any sort of danger or security risk to anyone who might be sent or open the file? And how could it have gotten in there without me knowing?

---

(Sorry if this sounds paranoid. I had an issue last weekend where Word was throwing a false positive and triggering a security alert on one of my documents. Both a Microsoft support agent and a response from someone on the community assured me it was nothing to worry about, but it left me a bit jumpy so when I saw the XML warning on multiple documents,I was concerned)

Problem pasting from Word 365 clipboard

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 08:31 PM PDT

I used the clipboard for the first time today. However, Word pasted all clipboard items into a single paragraph and not into separate paras, which I need. I could work around this by pasting the clipboard into Excel, but this seems to be a somewhat strange solution. Any ideas on how to paste directly from the clipboard into separate paras in Word? Maybe it is just a glitch in Office. Thanks

Erase function on MS Word 2010 doesn't work

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 07:40 PM PDT

At some point the erase function on the inking tools of MS Word 2010 stopped working with my Bamboo Tablet and with my laptop mouse.
I can open the pen menu with a variety of pen colors of thinknesses, even a selection of highligers.

At first, I couldn't find the eraser icon in the ink tools ribbon.  I was able to add it through the options command, but it will not activate when I click on it.  It doesn't matter whether I try it with the mouse or with the stylus on my Bamboo Tablet.  The separate highlight pen icon won't activate either, but since there are hightlight pens in the pen selection, this is not a problem.  But the lack of ability to erase is a serious problem.

Is there a bug to fix or maybe some other solution?
