Eh? What? Is it scsi or isn't it? SATA is serial-ATA, which is not
scsi!

You'll have to make a bit more sense for me there, I'm afraid.

I'm going to work on the supposition that that is IDE, not scsi, and
that the "raid" is some software raid which doesn't exist at the
moment (only one disk anyway). So that is your hde?

Anyway, it'll be hd0, for the little I know of grub's weird
numbering system.

All I can see in the grub info file is:

Note that GRUB does _not_ distinguish IDE from SCSI - it simply counts
the drive numbers from zero, regardless of their type. Normally, any
IDE drive number is less than any SCSI drive number, although that is
not true if you change the boot sequence by swapping IDE and SCSI
drives in your BIOS.

Which seems to me to confirm my impression that they count in bios bot
order.

Why don't you check the info out?

Then you can send a LART for this:

That was easy, admit it. Do read the next chapter, to find out how to
actually install GRUB on your drive.

No - it was incredibly unclear, like all the grub documentation. Rumor
has that it is written originally in dutch by a blind monkey.
 

That is your hdc? I suppose that would be hd1 to grub.
 
 

So that's the way yu have your bios set? Then hde is hd0.
 
 

I don't know what "device.map" is. I've never heard of it. Oh - it's
some grub thing. yes, now THERE you can see what the mapping is! DON'T
CHANGE IT.
 
 

DON'T. Why, in heavens name, why? What's wrong with the mapping you
had? You only have to TELL us about it!

Well, anyway, I suppose this changes things to match the probable
facts. But you will have to tell grub to use that mapping file. Why
bother?
 

This points at grub's boot code area on hdc1. I've forgotten
where you said everything was. This should be pointing at the /boot
partition. Does it?
 

PLEASE DO NOT USE LABELS! Be specifc. Say "root=/dev/hdc2" (or
whatever).
 

And please do not use ramdisks. Why? Oh why. Is your kernel so
crippled?

 

No. You have done nothing to make it so! Install grub on a boot record,
copy that boot record to windows, and point windows boot.ini at the
copy.

tbc.to MX mail.tbc.to


this way, mail for @tbc.to goes to 209.58.72.83 (via the MX, mail
exchange record). the website, www.tbc.to and just tbc.to go to
63.247.133.36 (the web server). and for you to check your mail you'll
set your pop3/imap clients to "mail.tbc.to", or if you're using webmail,
then set them to "http://mail.tbc.to/webmail".

hope this helps
 

yeah, leave this kind of stuff out of hosts.. if stuff is supposted to
work on a global scale (web, email) then it should be properly
configured in dns as above. the hosts file is more for local stuff..
like..

192.168.1.110 box1.tbc.to box1
192.168.1.115 box2.tbc.to box2

...just local stuff that can't be setup globally, or that would never
need to be used globally.

First check lsmod:

lsmod | egrep "lp|parport"


Disregard usblp. If you see no output, the driver module is not
loaded. If you have a standard parallel port in the computer, it
should load, or, at least, it does load automatically on my system.

If it's not loaded on your system, start there:

modprobe parport
modprobe lp
modprobe parport_pc

Now check again if the files have appeared in /dev.
If this fixes the problem, you will have to

a) figure out why the modules were not loaded automatically.
This is a bit of an academic exercise, but assuming your
distro has arranged this to happen automatically, it would
ideally be best to find the root cause why it is not happening
rather than just fixing symptoms. Or,

b) Just arrange this to happen on every boot, by adding the
lines above to your /etc/rc.local, and ensuring this file
is run on reboot: check or create the link

ln -s ../rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99local

and similar for other runlevels (2,3,4)

If the modules are loaded, or they were not, but are now, but the
nodes are still not there in /dev, there is a problem with udev.

Again, I cannot give a complete accountof how it is supposed to work,
but you could start here:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug

This should output the name of a program that the kernel uses to
notify the user-land programs about the discovery (or disappearance)
of devices that might need nodes in /dev. On my system, the output
is "/sbin/udevsend". This program is run with an argument on the command
line, and a bunch of environment variables. Just an example from my
computer:

/sbin/udevsend usb_device
PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.2
SUBSYSTEM=usb_device
DEVPATH=/class/usb_device/usbdev1.10
MINOR=9
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
ACTION=add
PWD=/
MAJOR=189
SHLVL=1
HOME=/
PHYSDEVDRIVER=usb
PHYSDEVBUS=usb
SEQNUM=552

Reading the manpage for udevsend, I find that eventually these data are
propagated to a program /sbin/udev. Man udev. Most of the actions of udev,
as I understand it, are controlled by the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. The manpages are actually written in
a secret language that resembles English just enough to confuse the
enemy. However, the rules can "match" the information provided with
the "hotplug" event, similar to above, in quite obvious way. Notice the
distinction between "==" and "=" in the rules. "==" are matching conditions,
"=" are assignements to new parameters, done if the conditions are true.

When a rule matches, additional keywords, like MODE or OWNER get their
values from the rule. All rules that match contribute to the result, not just
the first match. In the end, a node is created in /dev, owned by OWNER,
with mode MODE, with major and minor device numbers MAJOR and MINOR (see above)
etc. Sometimes a symbolic link is created also, or instead.

My rules file has a pair of lines:

KERNEL=="lp*", GROUP="lp", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="parport*", GROUP="lp", MODE="0660"

Karen,
Although I tend to agree with Jan there may be a couple of other

For that matter, does your version of Project 2003 have the latest
updates? I don't know if that would have any effect but it might be
worth looking into. Another thing to try is saving your Project 2003
file as a Project database. Then see if your co-worker can open it.
Maybe there is some corruption and saving as a database may just clear

Hi

this is only possible in the gantt chart if you change it to show the
specific resource's calendar (format / timescale / non-working time,
calendar drop down) and this "works" if you then filter only for the
resource and then print it out ..as you can see it "messes" up the gantt

however, you might like to check out Jan de Messemaeker's site - as he has
an alternative approach which i think works well ...

Your boss also needs to understand that with certain exceptions you do not
input the task start and end dates into Project. It's primary job is to be
a schedule calculator - you tell it when the project can start and then it
tells you all the task start and end dates, not the other way around. If
you are inputting tasks with their start and finish dates that he's somehow
come on his own, you're essentially hunting flies with an elephant gun,
using the software simply to illustrate a schedule, something much more
easily done with a paper calendar and box of magic markers.

chuszo,
Which "text" are you trying to autowrap? Basically Project can only wrap
text if there are spaces in the text string. If you are simply trying to
have the Task Name wrap, depending on which version of Project you are
using, row height can either be set for all task rows only (Project 98
and earlier) or individual task rows (Project 2000 and later). There are
two ways to set the row height of all rows. Either select the whole view
and drag one of the row separator bars or go to View/Table/More Tables
and hit the "edit" button for the selected view. In the lower right
corner of the Table Definition window there is a row height adjustment.
This is Project's version of "word wrap". Set the value to whatever row
height is necessary to allow all wrapped text to show.

Hope this helps.

Workflow generated email for reassignment of Opportunity

Posted: 01 Nov 2004 02:49 PM PST

Another option that I just discovered....

If you do not use a template, you should be able to use a "slug" in the email
activity. For example, if you put in &account.name; then that value will get
the name of the account.

The slugs aren't currently supported and you have to manually enter them, so
make sure you use the correct table/column names.

New Security Roles: how to make them work?

Posted: 29 Oct 2004 02:50 AM PDT

Were the roles created after data already existed in the system? Changes to
Roles sometimes do not propogate to existing records properly. They also do not
take effect immediately. Once you make a change, a background process needs to
go through and update the SecurityDescriptor on every record in the database to
implement the changed rights. This process sometimes fails and on a large
database can take hours to complete.

Try taking a record where the security seems to be wrong, assign it to a nother
user, then assign it back to the original user. Then see if the security seems
"correct". If so, then you will need to contact MSFT support. I beleive they
have a utility for fixingin corrupt security descriptors.

macros disappear when user downloads template

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:45 PM PST

Dear Friends:

I am nvolved in a volunteer project where macro-embedded templates are downloaded by users to do a variety of processes across different versions of Word.

A user with Windows 7 and Word 2010 has been regularly downloading and easily installing macro embedded templates for this project including an earlier version of the macro that we are using.  He has been properly converting *.dot macros produced on pre-XML  Word computers into *.dotm and they have been running on his computer with the macros in them.

Last week we found that a template he was using had defects in it because the original author had defects in his normal.dot.   

I rebuilt this macro on my computer, which has Word 2013 running on Windows 8.1.   I emailed him a copy of this macro as an attachment.   However, he has not been able to make it run.

I have done several prolonged team viewer sessions with him trying to find the problem.  I am aware that to launch a downloaded template it is necessary to right-click on the tempklate to install it in word because left clicking on creates a file based on it that does not hold the template.  The test of this is the file name,.  If you open the file and the file has the samne name in word as the file should have you are doing right.    I am also aware of the fact that you must manually check to make sure upon installation Word has stored the template in the proper file.

I have also checked the trust center settings for this user.  They are the proper one "Disable all macros with notification." which should give a warning prompting a user to enable the macros after the file is opened for the first time.

Yet, successively,  I have found that on his own computer this user could not find macros in the template or when opening files based on this template.

We have also tried having him email me back the templates after such failures.  Each time the template has had the macros in them once downloaded to my computer/

Help?  Believe this must be a problem of settings on the user's Word 2010

Starting Office 2013 is slow after installing SP1

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 11:38 AM PST

Hello,

Since I have installed Service Pack 1 earlier today, it now takes a while (like 30 seconds) before Office opens up maximized.

To be specific, I can describe the problem as follows:

When I startup my computer, sign in and double click the Outlook 2013 icon, it appears in my task bar. In stead of displaying the screen "Loading profile" it directly minimizes to my task bar. Hovering on this icon displays an empty Aero Peek screen.

It will take like 30 seconds before I can maximize Outook and start using it.

This issue has clearly been caused by the SP1 update, because earlier today I didn't have any problems at all.

Is someone familiar with this problem and could you provide me a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Joost van der Linden

MS Office Word: Keyboard short to indicate where cursor is

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:42 AM PST

Pressing Ctrl tells me where the mouse pointer is (via a circle animation). Is there a keyboard shortcut for indicating where the on-page cursor is?

Why won't openning a new document give me user templates?

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:10 AM PST

I'm demo'ing 365 and have been using 2010. In 2010, when I create a new document, there's an option at the top to choose user templates. They should be automatic, though that's another topic, but at least I quickly get to them.

when I choose New in Word 2013, I don't see anything to let me get to my templates. Instead, it's a whole bunch of useless templates MS has chosen to vomit at me. I scroll down and it keeps on adding those.

I checked File Locations and it imported from 2010 the correct path for User Templates, so why is 2013 not showing me my user templates?

Cannot open or print multiple documents in Word

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:03 AM PST

I need to be able open or print multiple documents at one time in Word 2010 on a Windows 7 PC. When I right-click on a document in the Open dialog box, the context menu comes up but I get the error "The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open.  Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes to continue."  I previously had this version installed on an XP computer. It had the same problem but I could get around it by selecting "Print" from the Tools menu.  They would then print out of order but they printed.  That option is no longer available in Windows 7. The only option from the tools menu is "Map Network Drive".  I can print from outside Word but doing so is slow and tedious as it opens and closes every document and starts giving me problems if I try to print more than five at a time. 

I know others have had similar problems but none of the solutions I've found have helped.  I don't have Norton (or any antivirus software) installed. (It's a new PC and I'm trying to get everything working before I install antivirus software.) There are no add-ins in startup. I've also tried running as an Administrator, running in safe mode, repairing Word, and when that didn't work uninstalling and reinstalling.  I even consulted with a Microsoft tech, who couldn't help and told me I'd have to pay for premium support (I can't afford it and my boss will never agree to cover it.). 

This is only happening in Word. Excel works fine.

I'm just frustrated enough to consider "downgrading" back to Office 2000.  This is only one of several issues I have with 2010 but it's the most frustrating and time-consuming of the bunch.

Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?

Saving tracked changes on an emailed document

When I just pull up my document I see all the tracked changes.   But when I try to email it you can't really see the changes other than a black line on the left margin.  How can I email my tracked change document with the color schemes still showing?

Is there a V-dot in Word?

Is Office that resource-intensive?

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 06:49 AM PST

I am using Office 2007 on a Windows 7 32-bit laptop (Dell Latitude D830, Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM).

When using this laptop for a while with memory-intensive jobs like video editing, it's kinda understandable that it shuts down when it overheats. But with Word 2007? Why is this so?

In comparison, I can have Chrome or Firefox open with a lot of tabs while video or music is playing in the background, and it rarely shuts-down-when-overheating.

Anyway, what can I turn off in Word to make it use less resources?

American to european quotation marks.

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 04:37 AM PST

After finishing a very long paper I realized that in Poland they placed quotation marks differently there. So instead of "He went" they have „He
went". Nhe first quote mark is on the botom. Now is it possible to automatically change the american style quotation mark to european one? Because doing it manually for over 100 pages is not something that I would be looking forward to.

P.S. Tried CTRL+H didn't change anything

Issue while with preview pane and word

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 04:02 AM PST

Hello everybody,

A few users in my company have been having the below issue:

when the preview pane is enabled double clicking on the word file (docx) does not open the document in word unless right clicking>open.

If I turn off preview pane all comes back to normal. This does not happen with all docx files but only a few (fairly complex ones), therefore looks like some setting within those files is not liking preview pane.

Tried the document inspect, re-save the document with no luck, if I save it using .doc extension it works fine.

Any suggestions?

configuration: windows 7 professional, Office standard 2010

thanks for you time

Salvo.

word opened from word addin freezing the dialog which has opened from addin and crashing the parent word document

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:55 AM PST

Hi,

I have a office addins which works seamlessly in excel, powerpoint and outlook except in word. We have a option to create a word documents using the templates in a dialog which is opened from addin. And we have an option to set the cache for our webapplication either to use filestorage or sharepoint storage.

Again the same addin works perfectly with filestorage cache but the same doesn't work with sharepoint storage. the problem is when we create the new documents using the templates it produces the new word document, once it is created and opened, the parent word document and the intermediate dialog window should get close but  instead it hangs both of them. when i try to close it explicitly it says word has stopped working. And am using sharepoint 2010 the same is not working with sharepoint 2013 as well.

I have posted in the forum before but I haven't got the response yet. please help me this is a major and critical issue for us.

PS: irrespective of OS its not working.

Word 2013 spell checker

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:19 AM PST

How do I get rid of the Word 2103 spellchecker and re-install an earlier version - which worked better, and which automatically placed itself in my eyeline near the text being checked and had an 'undo' button?  And is it my imagination or does the Word 2013 spellchecker have a smaller vocabulary?

OFFICE 365 - CAN'T OPEN DOWNLOADED FILES

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:55 PM PST

Basically, I can create new documents and open documents I already have, but if I download documents from an email or online I can't open them on either word or excel. It just shows the loading screen with "opening in protected view" indefinitely.

When clicking on a mailto link, Word 2007 opens the link as a webpage and not as an email address.

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:30 PM PST

Suddenly, Word 2007 is opening a mailto hyperlink as a new webpage rather than as an email address. Any answers out there?

Thanks.

Context menu very slow to appear (only in office)?

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 06:46 PM PST

Hi

I've just installed Office 2013 (64bit), and there is now a large lag (~2s) between right clicking, and the context menu appearing (only in Office applications)

After about a second the shadow appears, then followed by the menu itself. 

This lag is also present to a lesser extent when scrolling.

I'm running Win 8.1 on a Mbpr using bootcamp, all other applications run buttery smooth.

Any ideas?
