Advice for setting up partitions/Semi standard usage

Posted: 02 Sep 2006 07:34 PM PDT

I'll suggest ~6 gig / which will allow more room for updates.

The 4 gig var seems to be a waste.

On my multi-boot system
# du -hs /var
246M /var <=== Mandriva Linux

# du -hs /fc5/var
138M /fc5/var <=== Fedora Core

# du -hs /suse/var
126M /suse/var

# du -hs /kubuntu/var
310M /kubuntu/var

# du -hs /ubuntu/var
221M /ubuntu/var

My suggestions: common /tmp and swap partitions with all other
directories installed in the / partition for each distribution.

I would create a common /local partition to contain common stuff
between distributions.
Example: /local/opt for common third party
application installations, like firefox, java, from the third party
vendor.
/local/downloads partition to hold the download archives.



I have a /site partition for my own creations shared accross distros

$ ls /site
bin config doc ppp sounds

For user stuff, I have a /accounts partition.
Common stuff is linked from /home/bittwister to /accounts/bittwister.
Chopped down ls -al $HOME/ examples:

.bash_logout -> /accounts/bittwister/.bash_logout
.bash_profile -> /accounts/bittwister/.bash_profile
.bashrc -> /accounts/bittwister/.bashrc
bin -> /accounts/bittwister/bin/
comp -> /accounts/bittwister/comp/
.cron -> /accounts/bittwister/.cron
firefox.tar -> /accounts/bittwister/firefox.tar
.jnewsrc -> /accounts/bittwister/.jnewsrc
.mozilla -> /accounts/bittwister/.mozilla

Now I can backup /local/downloads, /site and /accounts on one cd.

Different distributions can have different revisions of the desktop
manager which could step on each other so everything else is in / like
/home.

Your last problem is user/group ids. They can change between
releases and each distro may have different starting numbers for
users.

$ grep bittwister /etc/passwd
bittwister:x:500:500:Bit Twister:/home/bittwister:/bin/bash

$ grep bittwister /suse/etc/passwd
bittwister:x:1000:100:Bit Twister:/home/bittwister:/bin/bash

From now on, I will create the /junk/ account as the first user
account for testing.

All my other user accounts will be 1500+ so I can just
cut/paste to bottom of /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/ shadow on new
installs.

A suggestion for app/system testing. I keep spare ~6 gig partitions
for testing new system/app releases/updates and keep one as
production hot backup.

I'll do a clean install in a test partition, install my custom changes
and if testing says ok, then it becomes the new production partition
and the old partition becomes a test partition.

For doing someting which might dink up the system, copy / into a spare
test partition, change fstab in test, add to my lilo boot loader, boot
test partition and play around.

I do not have a program called setclock, never heard of it. There is ntpdate

Also instead of an ip number set often ntp.yourisp.com works.

keep in mind that in general and no matter how fast your hardware, reporting
is always...well lets just say sluggish :-)

while you can use parameters to reduce the data set even these have
limitations. Currently there is a bug that means you can only add 50 items
to a parameter drop down. For instance you might want to have a drop to
which lists all your users, you would then choose a user and report on them.
The issue today is you could only put 50 items in the parameter list.

CRM Contacts - Sales for Outlook Client

Posted: 04 Mar 2005 09:06 PM PST

>From talking to our support vendor, this issue is due to security
settings within CRM. It appears that with Contacts, it will import ALL
the contacts that the user has security rights to see. That section
under Tools/Options is labeled Contacts, where the other two ar titled
MY Appointments and MY Tasks. The workaround that I have come up with
to address is to temporarily modify the user/group security settings,
check and sync, and uncheck prior to resetting security. Will follow up
after implementation on the success of this. Seems like it would work,
but certainly a pain. Anyone have other ideas on this, or reasons why
the workaround might fail?

Distribution groups not working - Microsoft Exchange

Distribution groups not working - Microsoft Exchange

Distribution groups not working

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 01:32 PM PST

It would make sense if the group were null. Many times when I see this
probem it is because the distibution group is not a universal group. The
membership of universal groups is stored in the GC partition. For domain
groups, the membership must be expanded by contacting a domain cotroller
(designated expansion server) and is often problematic. If the expansion
server cannot be contacted or is not designated, a null set is returned.
Try converting the distribution groups to universal groups.

As a side note, try this experiment: Create a distibution group with no
members. Mail enable it and give it the smtapaddress of your choice (may I
suggest com). Turn message tracking on and send a
message to it. Does the output of the tracking logs look familiar? (If you
every really want to send mail to the bitbucket, this is the way to do it)

Enforcing standardisation of documents

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 07:55 AM PDT

Hi there,

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but I searched around for a while and couldn't find the information I need, so thought I'd ask.

I'm running Microsoft Word 2013.

I've been tasked with creating standardised templates for certain corporate documents, and would like to "foolproof" them.

What I mean by that is, making it as difficult as possible to operate outside of the template I create, for example I wouldn't want somebody moving the company logo in the header around because it makes their title fit more conveniently.

I'm aware that it's likely impossible to actually lock the content completely while still making the document editable in places, but how would I go about making sure it's at least difficult?

For example, a report. I might set up a textbox with a heading, and I'd like that heading to remain as it is, format and all, for all eternity.

Or the company logo being in the top right of the document in the header, immune to accidental selection and dragging when somebody's changing the header, or being squished and downsized.

Is there anything I can do? I'm particularly interested in making the logo in the header immovable, that's priority number 1. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful

Word 2013 cannot print a specific document

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 03:45 AM PDT

I have recently updated a client to Office 365.  They are happily using Office 2013 but we have a problem with one Word document they get emailed every month.

This one page balance statement will not print in Word 2013.    This happens on any PC with Office 365 Word 2013.  The machines are fully updated.

The document has images in the header and footer.  It has text in the footer as well.

If I remove the header and footer in Word, it still will not print.  It occurs on all 3 of the printers I tried (separate drivers).  

Only if I cut and paste each part (body, header, footer) into Publisher can I then print. (not a solution)

Any ideas how to force Word 2013 to print what Word 2010 prints easily? 

Replace string of words using wildcards

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:17 AM PDT

I'm looking for a way to use wildcards to replace a string of words in a long document.  The problem is that while the words are bounded by the same symbols, the words are different each time.


I would like to replace sentences like these:


* 1 * Om Sthirayai Nama - Salutations to Him who is perennial
* 2 * Om Sthanave nama - Who is the axis of the world


so that they look like this:


1 - Salutations to Him who is perennial
2 - Who is the axis of the world


There numbers go up to 1008.  I don't mind if the asterix are kept as long as the words between and including Om and nama are deleted.

Is there a way to do this?  I had a look at a few pages on wildcards but could only find a way to delete different letters within a word.

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:04 AM PDT

Hi All,

I swear this cannot be as hard as it seems but I have found nothing after searching other forums and posts...

I am using MS Word 2013 and I cannot move a table.  Whether I create the table using MS word or if I cut and paste one from MS Excel (both 2013 versions) I cannot actually move the table.  That is, the left/right/up/down arrow box you see in the 2010 version does not appear.  So at this point I am pretty much stuck with inserting a table on the left margin and cannot move it around.

So...how do I actually move the table, this seems like such a basic feature and I am struggling for what to do.  Thanks,

Side by Side Error when trying to open 2007 Word and other similar programs

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 10:58 PM PDT

I have encountered a very stressful problem, whenever I attempt to open Word (2007), or Excel I get an error message which says:

"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail."

I have been combing forums for the past 12 hours and have attempted several suggested fixes, to no avail. Such as those suggested:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-word/side-by-side-configuration-error/5eed4b6e-3662-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5\

An attempted system restore was not successful (the restore actually failed and the restore point was not far enough in the past to pre-date the problem).

I attempted to run a sfc scan was suggested in one form (to another user), but this failed at ~77%, with a message which said that it could not perform the process.

Any help would be much appreciated as this has consumed my entire day!

Thank you in advance.

As an update:

Even Viewer states the following:

"MMC could not create the snap-in. The Snap-in might not have been installed correctly.

Name: Event Viewer CLSID: FX:{b05566ad-fe9c-be05-7a4cbb7cb510}"

And my efforts to uninstall and re-install Microsoft Office have been met with the following comment:

"Microsoft Enterprise 2007 uninstall did not complete successfully"

Mail Merge using data from two different worksheets

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 04:58 PM PDT

I can do a simple mail merge using data from a single Excel worksheet, no problem.  Now I need to create a mail merge doc using data from two different Excel worksheets within a single *.xlsx workfile.  The first worksheet has multiple rows of data with column headings.  The second worksheet has only one cell that I need to print on each mail merged document (it's a specially formatted date).   I can't figure out how to access two different worksheets within a single merge, in other words, pulling merge data from two different sources.  I've hunted thru YouTube and MS and can't see anything that helps.  Thank you for your time.

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 Word crashes when trying to invoke or create a Macro

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 04:29 PM PDT

When trying to invoke a Macro on a word document I receive a message stating word has encountered a critical error then it closes and reopens.  I have tried to use a earlier document to see if it was just a corrupt file I get the same message and crash.  I tried to create a Macro from scratch and as soon as I click the Macro button it crashes.  I have tried setting macro security button to the lowest setting no help.  I have tried using the restore feature on the control panel still cannot repair.  I am a transcriber and Macros save a ton of time please help.

Japanese Font Problems - Microsoft Word

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 04:29 PM PDT

Okay. So I am a Japanese major so a LOT of my typing happens in Japanese. For regular paper MS Mincho is fine, but I normally like to use SimSun when I am reading it as a personal preference. The only problem is that now that I am using Word, it apparently thinks I'm three years old and can't choose my own font. I changed the default theme, changed the styles, AND tried directly changing the font to SimSun but as soon as I start typing it changes back to MS Mincho EVEN THOUGH THE THEME IS SAYING THE DEFAULT IS SIMSUN. Honestly it's not THAT big of a deal, but it is crazy irritating and the fact that I cannot simply change the font (like in Word 2003 or *cough* LibreOffice) is enough to **** me off. Before I throw my computer out of the window, is there another solution I can try? Thank you.

Professional vs Standard Differences?

Pro can be used standalone, but all the features that kame it different from
Standard are greyed out without a connection to a Server environment so the

Horizontal Scrolling & Decimal numbers for hours

Posted: 12 Aug 2005 02:07 AM PDT


Sorry, forgot about that :(

No, you cannot remove the decimals shown in the Task Usage sheet. I suppose
you could insert a Custom column and round the hours figures, you could then
hide the Work column, but this would not affect the decimal in the cells.

Start & Finish matches other Tasks' Start & Finish?

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 06:46 PM PDT

Thank you so much! That solution worked perfectly except for one problem. I
hope you have a solution.

the problem is that my MPP file is stored on SharePoint. When I try to do a
paste link, I get the message: "You cannot create links from a project file
that exists on a web folder to another file."

I have absolutely no external links to another file, so I'm assuming this
message is a bug since there is no "another file." Furthermore, if I save
the file locally, I can make the "paste links" fine, upload the file back to
SharePoint, and open and make further updates to the file without problems
and the "paste links" are still intact.

Unfortunately, that workaround won't work for me since I'm developing a
procedure to be used by our department and many people won't have a local
place to save the file; they can only make updates on SharePoint.

I'm suspecting that the problem might have something to do with the fact
that Project inserts "%20" in for every space in the filename. I'll try to
verify that, but, regardless, our naming conventions require spaces in the
name.

Thanks

Incorporate inflation adjustments into Project

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 01:55 PM PDT

This of course requires that every task that you want to have an inflation
adjustment on has a resource assigned, and that each resource has the
multiple rates that I mentioned.

I agree with Jack, copy paste special is fragile (don't even think of taking
either file away on a laptop).

Best solution is a VBA macro to import what you want if opening with a map
is to much work.

% of work load

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 09:32 AM PDT

When you make the first resource assignment to a task, Project assumes you
had the % you assign in mind when you made the original duration estimate.
So I'f I have a task that is 20 hours duration and I assign Joe to it 100%,
it stays at 20 hours. But if I assign Joe at 50% it ALSO stays at 20 hours.
If I assign him at 10% or 72% or anything, the same 20 hour duration will
remain as long as it's the FIRST assignment.

How do you add a resource name to a To Do list report?

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 09:28 AM PDT

Hi Mike,

Thanks for responding. I should have been more specific about what I wanted
to do. I agree that I could "hard code" the name in the report header. Bu
that's going to be a real pain for 100 resources. What I'm trying to do is
add a column/field from a table to the report somehow. The header would be
perfect. However, when I look at the drop down on the header screen,
Resource Name is not there. "Resouce Names" is there, but that's no help.

Thanks again,
Doug

work week not equal to date

Posted: 10 Aug 2005 09:21 PM PDT

There is a workaround. Use a custom formula in an unused text field.
I use the following formula:

"w" & Format(DateAdd("d",7-Weekday([Finish]),[Finish]),"ww" & "'yy")
By editing the formula you can add the .day if you like.

Then format your bars to show the new value. Unfortunately the timescale is
not configurable.

Hi jseiler ,

I can't answer your question because I don't know your circumstances or what
you want to do. I don't think there is such a thing as "simple tracking" -
tracking is tracking and that's how it's done. If you want to use EVA, the
help pages are pretty straightforward. I can't offer any advice withou
knowing what you want to do.

There are others out there who have had a lot of experience in tracking and
EVA who might care to comment.
