Windows to Linux - HELP!

Posted: 31 Jan 2006 08:25 PM PST

 

For some applications it is easy to switch. There are applications for
which Linux is more complete and works better than Windows. For some
applications it is a bit more difficult, you either must force yourself
to adjust the way you work to be effective in the idiom of unix,
sometimes you must be willing to use bleeding-edge software, and
sometimes you must accept that there are situations where Linux simply
will not work, such as in the case of incompatable hardware where the
manufacturer does not want linux support to exist, or in cases where
the application you want to run is tightly bound to a particular OS,
won't run under emulation, and has no alternative.
 

Winmodem is one of those cases where you might not be able to solve the
problem at all. There are drivers for some modems, but for many,
there's no support at all, not even experimental support. AMR 'modems'
are the worst. They aren't modems at all, rather, they are an
accessory to some sound device that has a switching capability so that
it can be used on a phone line. Even worse than the DSP-based
windmodems, these aren't even related to modem devices. And the
software support does not exist.

I don't know exactly what hardware you have. Have you tried a 5.10
Ubuntu? or a late version of Knoppix? Those distros do a pretty good
job of detecting hardware, and I personally find Ubuntu to be the
overall best distribution ever for general purpose usage.

I use linux because I prefer it. For my applications, the platform has
superior features and performance to Windows. But I still have not
100% migrated (and I've been running linux since 0.99pl1). I have no
real alternative to ASIO-based digital audio/VST hosts, although some
of the experimental stuff coming out is fairly promising. The only
other issues have to do with certain types of media. For example I
have yet to see a linux-based DVD player that's any good, and even the
bad ones are so difficult to deal with that I don't bother. And there
are some applications that I run under VMWare, having no alternatives.

On that subject, I'm happy to report that the applications I run under
VMWare actually run better than the same applications on the same
machine natively under Windows. I have not come to any conclusions
about why this is, but it's true, and I was quite surprised.

I've digressed from your specific topic, and I apologize. But the idea
of a user who is very experienced in both Windows and Linux, and
experienced in computer organization in general, is very interesting to
me. None of these systems have any real mystery to me -- I've
developed applications and system level software on all these
platforms, and I'm decades into my career. So that's where my
perspective on migrating comes from.

Unfortunately the ALSA and the manufacturer idea of standard compliant can
be different. The manufacturers seem to think that "We can make it run on
Windows" is equivalent to "standards compliant". Also for some they require
a firmware upload. So once the firmware is uploaded the card will run fine,
uploading the firmware can sometimes be a chore (it used to be on 2.4
kernels and early 2.6 that the usb bus drivers had a bug making it very
difficult to upload firmware, The bus would crash if it was reset. I think
this is now solved. But it indicates that "standards compliant" may not be
the whole story)

index.html and anything else you care to put in this list, that it can find

It strikes me that if a stray / has crept into the list, or possibly if the

As I said, I'm no expert, but I'd look at the config files very carefully.

leveling and actuals

Posted: 17 Apr 2005 10:48 PM PDT

Pffft.

I wouldn't know but we will check on that ASAP. Yes, it problably is the
work done on Nonworking hours that is moved by Project. (again negative
comment left out).

we see no solution except changing 600 calenders ;-( that will be a no go
for sure.
Fortunately the totals add up and reports are correct.

This definately is a nice lesson learned:
1. import actuals in MPP files
2. publish, and overwrite actuals (through republish)
3. turn on managed time periodes (cannot be done earlier as then it's not
possible to overwrite/insert past actuals
4. change calenders.

or perhaps PDS but we lack the knowledge.

Thanks

Project Summary: Can I omit final phase?

Posted: 17 Apr 2005 05:10 AM PDT

Hi Spinner,

I'm not sure what you're after. Any project can show the Project Summary
via Tools/Options.../View tab - at the bottom right. The project summary
measures the working time duration between the start of the first task in
the project to the end of the last task. Equally, all other summaries
measure from the start of its first task the end of its last task. What you
could do is to insert a new task just under the project summary task and
indent all but the last phase, which will give you a summary of the first 6
phases.

Project 2002 weighing subtasks

Posted: 15 Apr 2005 02:22 PM PDT

A fact of life you have to deal with is Project uses duration as its key
metric. Duration is the length of time from when work begins until work
ends. It is not the same thing as work and relates to work by way of the
resource's effort units. When you have a summary tasks with several
subtasks, its duration is from when the earliest subtask begins until when
the latest subtask finshes. As such your weighting of the contribution of
subtasks has no meaning when taken simply as it stands. You can't say that
THIS 10 day task contributes 10% of the duration of the summary while THAT
10 day task constributes 30%. What you can say is that task A requires X
hours of work, Task Y is 1.5X hours of work, Task Z is 3.5X hours of work
etc which gives you ratios I think you're looking for. But the fact that
Task Y contributes 15% of the total work on the summary task does not mean
necessarily that it contributes 15% of the duration of the summary task.
The effort units of the resources assigned, the resource calendars
controlling when each task takes place, and the linking between the various
subtasks will also enter into that equation. For example, it's completely
possible that your 5 subtasks aren't linked sequentially and so will take
place concurrently. If that was the case, the summary task duration is
going to equal the duration of the longest running task, most likely your
Task 5 if all the resources are assigned 100% and have the same calendar,
and so in that sense Task 5 would contribute 35% of the work but 100% of the
duration.

Copy Existing Project into Template

Posted: 15 Apr 2005 07:33 AM PDT

Adding a note to Gerard's answer. You say you want to copy % complete.
Almost everything you say you want to include in the tmeplate makes sense
except that. A template is a device to create a NEW project file wimilar to
this one without having to re-invent the wheel. Since a new file is (should
be) created before any work is done on the new project, one should not
include any baseline or actuals - costs, % completes, start or finish dates,
etc in the template as that information only goes in after the new project
is finalized and for actuals, after work begins.

the 

Report of estimated % complete.

Posted: 15 Apr 2005 01:39 AM PDT

BCWS represents the amount of work that should have been done up to the
status date, expressed in terms of its expected costs. BCWP represents the
amount of work that actually WAS done up to the same status date, also
expressed in terms of what you planned to pay for it. ACWP is the amount
you actually DID pay to get that work done. It's broken down this way to
allow you to track performance against both schedule and budget
independently. BAC is Budget At Completion, the total expected cost of
doing all the work. It's the same number as Baseline Cost. So BCWS/BAC
represents the % Work Complete you should have achieved by the status date.
BCWP/BAC represents the % Work Complete you actually did achieve by the
status date. BCWP/BCWS give you SPI, Schedule Performance Index - <1 means
you're behind and >1 means you're ahead.

For consistency, make sure you understand there is a very big difference
between % Complete and % Work Complete. % Complete refers to duration but %
Work Complete refers to, well, work. How could they be different? It
happens whenever you have work contours. You have a task that starts Monday
at 8am and finishes Friday at 5pm. It's applying paint where there has to
be overnight drying time between coats. The resource puts in 1 hour each
day on Mon, Tue, Wed, and Thur applying the initial coats and then does all
the finish work on Fri taking 8 hours. Duration is 40 hours, total work is
12 hours. It is now 5pm Thursday and everything is on schedule. % Complete
= 4d/5d or 80%, % Work Complete = 4h/12h or 33% % Physical Complete -
essentially meaningless concept in this case IMO.

calculation method from tasks to projects view? I just want a summary rollup
of the indicators from tasks to projects view in PWA. Each task has it own
results through the indicator from red, yellow or green. I want a summary
rollup view in PWA that indicates a red or yellow if only one red or yellow
in the tasks is shown. This will indicate to mgmt that they need to drill

Leveling after updating tasks

Posted: 14 Apr 2005 02:28 PM PDT

Scott ,

First of all you have to ensure that your project's status date is the same
date as the week ending date of the time you are entering. Second of all you
have to level after entering actuals. Hopefully you're dependencies are OK.
I have seen Project push an end date by as much as 3 months after entering
actuals and then when you level the date comes back in. So that you don't
get too confused when entering actuals turn off your Auto Calculation. Enter
your actuals. Then turn it back on and level.

Adding a comment to Jan's answer - if you're asking because you need to
preserve your original estimates of the work after you update the task with
actual work, that's what a baseline is for. If you save a baseline before
beginning to post actual performance (as you should), after entering the
actual work into a task the Work field will show what it actually took to
complete the task while the Baseline Work field will hold what you
originally thought it was going to take.

I agree totally with Jack D and Pratta - Project was made to be very
flexible. The allow dependencies to summary accounts in case you want to do
a very high level plan that is not resource loaded. If you have a REAL plan
, no matter the planning tool, you DO NOT want to have dependencies on
Summary accounts. To better understand this you need to understand the
leveling engine and how it works. Use summary accounts FUBAR the leveling

Data Migration Enquiries

Posted: 05 Dec 2004 10:20 PM PST

Hello Johnson,

I understand you want to migrate data from one CRM server to another. While
you can indeed use the Data Migration Framework, you probably want to look
at the Microsoft CRM redeployment tools. These tools will help you
"redeploy" CRM, i.e. move all your data from a server to another. In the
process, you can also change your organization name, your users, etc.

The redeployment tool is available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=bfced393-61db-49af-9a50-4a90b311fa7d&DisplayLang=en

If you really want to use the Data Migration Framework, be aware that you
will hit a few limitations. For example, you will not be able to preserve
1:n relationships between entities. Also, the DMF does not support all
entities. The DMF has been designed to handle migrations from external
systems into CRM, not CRM to CRM migrations.

To answer your questions regarding the CDF database: the CDF uses object IDs
as unique identifiers, not GUIDs. If you need to export data from CRM into
the CDF database, you can write a script (or create a DTS package) which
generates a unique integer for every CRM GUID. Changing the type of the CDF
columns is not supported. The data migration tools expect all IDs to be
integers.

If I remember right we actually generate a SQL IN clause when <fetch>

transmitting the SQL over the wire and dealing with the SQL stack size.

I am working on a paper where I have a header on the first page that is different from the rest.  I had to make one of the pages in the middle of the paper landscape orientation (I did this by making two new page breaks - as advised online).  Now the page that is landscape orientation and the following page are identical to the actual first page of the document.  I need the page numbering to be continuous throughout the whole document (it currently is 1-10, 1, 1-5).  Also, the landscape orientation page and the following page need to have an identical header to the rest of the document and not the same as the actual first page.  Any help would be appreciated! I can't seem to get it whatever I try!  It is in Word 2010.

extra white space below footnotes

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 09:06 AM PDT

I have about 1" of white space below footnotes on nearly (a few are OK) every page of a 500 page document.  I have tried removing extra formatting with the show/hide button.  I have tried removing black spaces (don't remember how I did that).  I've been able to get rid of a similar problem at the top of every page, but not at the bottom.

Unable to open any microsoft office applications

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 09:01 AM PDT

I have been running Office 2013 on Windows 8 since 2013 however, it has now stopped working.  If I click the icons, I get the timer and then nothing happens.  If I try to open a file I have previously used successfully I get the message "there was a problem sending the the command to the program" for excel but for word, nothing happens at all.  I have checked the winword properties and these all seem OK.

Nine digit zip codes in labels

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 08:23 AM PDT

I am creating/printing mailing labels using Office Word 2013 and an Excel 97-2003 file as my data source and Windows 7 is my operating system.  Everything works perfectly except for my zip codes.  Some of my people in the list have the new nine (9) digit zip codes.  Each name with this format zip code has a zero (0) merged for its zip code on the label.  All five (5) digit zip codes merge properly.  Does the template coded for labels only allow five (5) characters for a zip code?

Examples:  Anytown, USA 27543            Merges properly

                Anytown, USA  27543-2345   Merges as a zero (0)

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

If tracked changes are on can I make changes and then delete them without the original author seeing them?

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 03:43 AM PDT

If someone has provided me a document that is track-changes enabled, can I make all of my recommended changes plus notes to myself (either in "comments" or right in the body of the text), save a copy for myself, then delete the notes that were meant for me and send back just the changes that I want the original author to see?  Or am I prohibited from deleting any of my edits until the original author accepts/rejects them? 

I am trying to avoid going through the whole doc and making my edits (without my own notes), saving two copies and then going back to one of them to add my notes for myself.  I want to do it while my thoughts are fresh during the initial review.

Thank you!

Lori

How can I possibly get rid of the UP arrow in the headings that goes to the beginning of a document?

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 03:30 AM PDT

Is there a way to hide the item/arrow if it's impossible to delete it?

I don't want Word to show the very first para in the headings(navpane), since it's plain text(body text without any styles/outline level) and I can always get there by pressing ctrl+home

Thank you

if it's not charles:-p I can see he was obviously embarrassed..

pin a shortcut to start menu does not appear when I right click on a desktop icon

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 06:41 PM PDT

Dear colleagues,

I'm using Office 2010 and Word.

According to the Help facility, to pin a program to the start menu I should right click a program icon and choose "pin to start menu."

However, that choice does not appear when I right click on a desktop icon for a program.

Strangely, I believe IT USED TO.

Is it possible that my Office has become corrupted and lost this ability?

Thanks for any help.

How do you keep Word from maximizing when you minimize it to open 2 windows and drop and drag ?

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 06:10 PM PDT

I can't seem to keep word open and minimized and another window open and minimized so I can transfer files back and forth.  One or the other will maximize or close and it is frustrating.

Dotted line appeared in Word document. How to eliminate?

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 04:54 PM PDT

I have a large word document which I received back from an editor.  There are places where I have a dotted line across the document.  When I move my mouse over it, the mouse pointer changes to a double headed arrow.  I can move the cursor to the spot before the line of dots and delete them, but they just get moved down to another section.  I have attached a screen shot of the issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

forms for games e.g. cribbage or euchre

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 04:15 PM PDT

I tried to make a form for the above using excel.  However, I could not eliminate the lines and only wanted certain lines and columns.  Should I have done this form (2 to a page) in Word and not Excel.  I am not very familiar with Word.

Support for MS Office 2005 ends on April 8, 2014? Does this include security patches for Office 2005? In other words will Office 2005 still be secure? Thanks John L. ?
