Accessing systems behind uncontrolled firewall

I located the article you are talking about:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/05/29/netcat.html

But I will eventually be doing offsite backup of data for these offices
on my RAID server at home, and as such, I will need automated file
transfer abilities. Netcat alone doesn't seem to do what I need.

lm-sensors on GA-8GE667Pro

I have no experience with your particular board; but there are a
few obvious points and some general ideas that might help a
little.

First, this sort of data is valid only as an indicator, not as a
specific measurement. What that means is that you don't really
care how accurate the voltage reading is, and if your 5 V line
says it is 5.00 volts when in fact it is 5.15 volts, it make
*no* difference!

The main reason for that is because you don't care if it is 5.0
or 5.2 volts, but you do care if it changes from 4.8 to 5.2
volts! All of those are within specs, but a change from 4.8 to
5.2 is something you might want to investigate.
 

You have no "compute" statement for in3 or in8, which
probably need one. Apparently in0, in1 and in2 do not.
 

This one appears to be okay, given that the +12 volt line is
saying it is 12.22 volts.
 

This is the -12v line, and *clearly* is not correct, given the
-4.17 reading.
 

As above, this can't be right, given the -5 volt line is saying
it is -.68 volts
 

This one appears to be correct.


I would simply adjust the compute statements to get readings that
are very close to what each voltage is supposed to be. (If the +5
volt line reads +5.00, you will *know* if it changes. If it reads
+4.88, you might not notice a change to +5.23. Hence _monitoring_
the system is actually better done with "inaccurate" readings!)

 

Since in1 is monitoring a +1.5 voltage line, it would appear
that the above max and min values should be 1.4 and 1.6, eh?
 

I would think that 5% tolerance for the plus and minus 12
volt lines is much too strict. 10% is more reasonable.
 

That last one should be "5 * 1.05".

[everything else snipped]


My experience has been that the expression parser in lm_sensors
has bugs. The compute statements don't necessarily do what they
should, and and tripping a bug in one statement may make
everything after that incorrect. Hence, try to keep the
expressions simple.

compute in4 ((30/10) +1)*@ , @/((30/10) +1)

That should probably be changed to

compute in4 1.33 * @ , @ / 1.33

When making changes to the compute lines, there are various ways to
change a value. If the raw data is 2.000 and a value is added
to it, then a change from 2.000 to 2.100 will cause a 0.1 volt
change in the voltage reading. If there is a multiplier, the
sensitivity is increased and a raw data change of 0.1 will
result in a voltage change that is 0.1 times the multiplier
(e.g., 0.3 if the multiplier is 3).

The -12 volt value is computed with this equation:

compute in5 (7.67 * @) - 27.36 , (@ + 27.36) / 7.67

That will provide a reading of -12.00 volts if the raw value from
the sensor is 2.000. However, it's now reading -4.17, which means
the raw value from the sensor is 3.023.

If you change offset value of 27.36 to 35.37, the reading will
be -12.00. It also means that a change in the raw value, say
from 3.023 to 3.123 or to 2.923 would cause the voltage
indication to change from -12.00 to -11.42 and -12.95
respectively.

compute in5 (7.67 * @) - 35.37 , (@ + 35.37) / 7.67

RAW VALUE VOLTAGE READING

2.923 -12.95
3.023 -12.00
3.123 -11.42

If only the multiplier is changed, from 7.67 to 5.08, that would
also result in a -12.00 voltage indication when the raw value is
3.023. However, for 3.123 the voltage indication would be -11.49,
an for 2.923 would be -12.51.

compute in5 (5.08 * @) - 27.36 , (@ + 27.36) / 5.08

RAW VALUE VOLTAGE READING

2.923 -12.51
3.023 -12.00
3.123 -11.49

Which one is more accurate? Who knows! It makes no difference
though, as the question is which one is more useful.

Think about this one:

compute in5 (10 * (@ - 1)) - 42.23 , 1 + ((@ + 42.23) / 10)

RAW VALUE VOLTAGE READING

2.923 -13.00
3.023 -12.00
3.123 -11.00

Which is to say, almost twice as sensitive (the same change in
the raw value gives almost twice the change in voltage reading)
and yet it is still a linear response.

I would try that, and see how the values look over a "normal"
period of time. If you get swings that set off alarms, cut it
back to the 5.08 multiplier.

The -5V compute statement needs similar analysis.

No. But if you're going to have multiple /boot partitions, there's not
a whole lot of value of having any boot partition. They all suck up

They don't have to share the same /boot, but you're probably going to
chain bootloaders together, possibly different grub installations....
Or you could chain to multiple grub installations from the Windows
loader, since you imply you have at least one of them.
 

It depends on the age of the distribution. Most everything produced in
the last couple years can handle having a /boot partition not in the
first 1024 cylinders.
 

Unpack the initrd using gzip and cpio. Probably edit the init script,
then pack it back up. The details of the edits are going to vary
depending upon what you have (how the lvm partitions are arranged) and
what you did (how you rearranged them).

ifconfig -a shows interfaces (NICs or "adapters"), including their IP

192.168.3.12. If that line is missing your NIC lacks an IP. And the
gateway address is 192.168.3.2. The default route is the route to
"0.0.0.0" and you see that address in that route's line item in the
table. Maybe your service network restart is triggering an address
request (ie running a dhcp client), but that's not taking place as
part of the boot process. Check /etc/sysconfig/network for something
like ONBOOT=no (or yes). If it's no, it's configured to omit setting
up network stuff as part of booting. Check also for something like
BOOTPROTO=dhcp (I think) to see whether, when the network config is
performed it entails use of dhcp. To experiment with running dhcp
client manually, the name of the client is usually dhclient, otherwise
there's one called pump and one called dhcpcd. Your system might have
one or another of those.

Help: RCP issue between solaris and redhat linux

Or maybe "Linux -> Solaris" means a third thing, which is that
the Linux machine is initiating the connection, in which case
both of these are "Linux -> Solaris":

linux$ rcp solaris:/tmp/foo /tmp

Our company email right now is hosted by an ISP (domainxyz.org). I trying to

They come back to local:

emails not reaching their destination

Posted: 01 Mar 2007 02:25 PM PST

Thanks for the information. I always check for email in the outboxes
before I send for an inquiry. I don't want to be made a fool by the
user. Thankfully, the scenario of purposely changing the timestamp
definitely doesn't apply here. The issue has affected numerous people,
one of which was a payroll person who was submitting timesheets. As a
result, 72 freelance personnel didn't get paid on time.

It is interesting to me that we never had any "lost email" issues when
we were POP3. Only since the changeover to Exchange (Aug06) has it been
an issue. I, as well as others, have reverted back to POP3 for now.

I will certainly stay on top of the issue, and try to resolve it when it
occurs.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi, I have Office Home and Student 2007 installed on my laptop, I'm currently running Windows 8.1 but I also used to have this issue on another laptop running Windows 7.

For some reason, every time I attach a .docx file to an email I get these pop ups...

[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/24zdopd.png[/IMG]

[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2nusie0.png[/IMG]

The .docx still attaches itself to the email however it's quite annoying, as well as puzzling to me why I get these pop ups every time. It's particularly annoying if I have to send a few attachments as I get a set of these pop ups for each one.

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting these, and if so, how to get rid of them?

PDF security in Word 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 12:10 PM PDT

We've just recently installed Office 2013 and I love that we can convert PDFs into Word.  HOWEVER, I'm having some difficulty with understanding the security.  Here's my issue:

We have a sensitive student documents that we've saved as a PDFs and shared.  We want the recipients to be able to view but not edit and saving as a PDF served that purpose well since the average user doesn't have Adobe Acrobat at home to go in and tinker with things they shouldn't touch.   Now that we can convert PDFs to Word, it removes that level of "security".  So I tested saving the document in several different ways to see if I could prevent word from opening the document and either it can't be done or I'm missing something.  I've tried the following:

  1. Within the Save As menu, I clicked Tools | General Options and selected both Password to modify and Password to Open.  Neither of these settings transfer to the pdf
  2. Within the Save As menu, after I selected PDF as my file type, I clicked the options button and selected Encrypt the document with a password, but that won't let the recipient even open it without the password.
  3. Print the document and scan it back in as a PDF.  This gives the desired result of a non editable document, but it's a real pain to have to do that for hundreds of documents that need to go back and forth between parents and teachers.

There are a lot of smart people that work for Microsoft, and I can't imagine someone didn't think of this.  Does anyone have a better solution other than printing out and scanning in a document that we shouldn't have to print out in the first place?

Page Break Indicator in Word 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 10:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I have Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Business.

In prior versions of Office, you could see the Page Break Indicator in draft mode.  I have found instructions on the internet telling me to go to File/Options/Advanced/Compatibility Options in order to make sure the Split Apart Page Break and Paragraph Mark check box is selected.

However, I see no boxes under Compatibility Options.  Is this box available in Office 2013 Home and Business?

(I found the tip at http://wordribbon.tips.net  - Missing Page Break Indicator)  It works on Office 2010 Professional, but I can't seem to find the box on the 2013 Office Home and Business.

Is there another solution to seeing just the page break line in Draft View of Word 2013 (without showing all the hidden formatting)?  Currently, if you type Control + Enter, it just leaves a blank line.

Thank you,

Printing envelopes from word 2007

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling word 2007. Any ideas?

A word document disappeared

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 10:28 AM PDT

Today, I have opened my computer and clicked on recent files. I clicked on a folder containing some word documents. One of them is named "filming order". I clicked on it and it opened just like normal. All of this is in an external hard drive connected to my computer. I have made some changes to the file and decided to save it. But instead of saving like normal, the "Save As" came up as if this was a new file. I was confused so I cancelled it.

I closed the word document but it says that the name of the document is MV110 or something like that (some capital letters and random numbers) instead of "filming order". I clicked no to save since I thought something was wrong and when I came back to the folder, the document "filming order" was gone. I used the search and searched the entire computer and recycle bin, it wasn't there, the good thing is that that document wasn't that important and I can re-make it but now I start to doubt the trustworthiness of my external hard drive, there are files on the hard drive that are really important and took a lot of hard work to make, I don't want to lose them as well, I started to copy over the most important items from the hard drive to an internal hard drive on the computer so I have backup.

I have tried clicking on the "filming order.docx" in the recent documents area in word 2007 but it says that the file doesn't exist (at least not anymore). Should I be worried? I'm currently checking for problems using the command prompt, hopefully everything will be alright. If anyone know what has happened please tell me.

PS. Note that I don't mind whether I get the file back or not since it wasn't that important I just want to make sure it won't happen again.

Add a page number to a footer when the entire footer is an image

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 02:15 AM PDT

Hi,

I am writing a word document for my organisation which requires me to put our logo as a footer to each page. When I copy and paste the log in, it takes up the entire footer and also slightly further up the page. I would like to add page numbers to the document but when I do, the logo is overwritten. How can I overcome this please without writing a text box on each page. Many thanks

A few weeks ago my wife went to work on something on word and word wouldn't work. All of the other programs work. I tried restoring my computer to a previous date. But still word will not work. Everytime I try and open it, it does nothing. I have the 2007 office professional. I have no idea where the CD is or the product key is. Only thing I have is product ID. What can I do to fix this or reinstall

Can I create a template, that will not appear when I print? Basically just as a guideline.

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 01:05 AM PDT

I have an image that I want as guidelines for when I am producing this piece of work, however I don't want it to appear on the paper when I print, as we already have it pre-printed onto paper. So in order for it to match up correctly, I would require it as a template whilst creating it. 

Problem with text selection in PDF file created from Word (2010)

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 12:05 AM PDT

Hi,

I saved a .docx document created in Word 2010 as a PDF file.

But when I tried to select text from the PDF file, the following happened:


As you can see, some characters/spaces are skipped...

This also hinders the Search operation, and now the whole PDF file is pretty much useless.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you!

Word 2007 master document changes file names when saving

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 08:09 PM PDT

I have done a lot of research on this question, but without success. I have learned how to add multiple files at one step by using Insert/object [down arrow]/text from file, and then selecting the file(s) that you want to include. All works swimmingly until I save the master file. It saves the file OK, but when I open it the previous file names are truncated to: "Chapter 1.docx", instead of "Chapter 01 - Introduction.docx"; "Chapter 2.docx", instead of "Chapter 02 - A Sunny Day in May.docx", etc. I wouldn't mind that so much, except that the original files have all been renamed as well.

I use file names when composing a long document to help me remember something about the content of the particular chapter, so the loss of the descriptive information is very irritating, especially since it affects the original.

I thought that perhaps the inclusion of spaces in my file name might be the problem, but I tried eliminating them and the outcome was identical

I am not sharing the files and I am the only one working on them.

Some of the chapters might be using different templates, but my "novel" template and my "normal" template are virtually identical.

I also considered whether the file name might be too long, but word generated single and double digit chapter numbers (e.g., Chapter 1, Chapter 21, etc.)

Any help regarding this problem would be appreciated.

As far as I can tell, I can set the tabs (even through the ruler bar) but they are not displayed on the ruler bar.

Problem opening Microsoft Office Word Documents - unless saved as Word 93-97, computer attempts to use Adobe Acrobat to open, yielding error msg

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 04:47 PM PDT

This is a problem that has arisen in the last three weeks.  When I  attempt to open documents sent to me, as attachments to emails, in "Microsoft Office Word Document" format (for example, docx.) from email AND when I attempt to open old saved documents from my hard drive that are in this format, I see an Adobe Acrobat page pop up on my screen and immediately get a message that the document cannot be opened.  I've found a work-around by saving the document without opening, right-clicking the document on my hard drive, and using "open with Microsoft Word."  Documents that are saved on the hard drive in Word 93-97 do not encounter this problem.  Until three weeks ago, all these documents opened immediately and "automatically."

Did I somehow change the "default" program for opening "Microsoft Office Word Documents" from Microsoft Office to Adobe Acrobat?  How, in any event, can I fix the problem and not need to do the time-consuming workaround? 

Bug?: How do I create a hyperlink from Word 2013 to a particular Powerpoint slide?

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 04:40 PM PDT

I have tried to add a hyperlink from my Word 2013 docx-file to a particular slide in my Powerpoint 2013 pptx-file. Here are my reproduction steps:

1. Highlight some text in Word

2. Click Insert->Hyperlink

3. In the dialog that pops up, select Existing File...->Current Folder->myfile.pptx->Bookmark

Word then tries to parse the file and a progress bar pops up and after this completes, I get the error: "Microsoft Word could not open this file or parse a file of this type"

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I know you are absolutely right, but at least half of the customers I see
think like that. You simply can't ask people to report of their time on a
detailed level. A customer I know used the word unthinkable, and "if that is
the price to use MS Project, we'll do without".

Rookie question

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 12:04 PM PDT

Project works with Tasks and Resources.
When a resource is working on a task it is called an assignment.
Assignments consist of an amount of work that the resource is going to do on
that specific task.
The work on a task consists of the sum of work in all assignments.
When the resource assignment is removed, then that work is removed.
Work represents the number of resource hours/days/weeks/minutes that is
being expended.
Further Project uses the equation Work = Duration * Units to determine what
work is.
Units refers to the number of resource units.
Altering one of the values in the equation will affect at least one of the
other values.
You can see that an increase in work will require a proportional increase in
duration or Units.

Custom Milestone not working

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 11:25 AM PDT

The flag is triggered manually, I or someone enters YES in the flag1 field to
trigger the milestone to be a "sign-off". There is probably a way to do this
easeir but for nowe this seemed to work everywhere else except that one. An
no the task that does not work is not a summary.

I deleted and recreated the task and set the duration to zero, then inserted
YES in the flag1 field and this did the trick, however it was no different
than the orignal task, so something was going on. (Later I checked the show
as milestone box, and reset the duration to the 1 day as I wanted.) I want
the duration to be 1 day (as it is usually a day long meeting where review
and sign-off occurs) but the task should still appear as a milestone, so I
manually check the milestone box in the task information window to accomplish
this, could this have something to do with it?

Thanks for the reply.

Remaining hours extending project

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 10:56 AM PDT

Think about it for a minute - the duration HAS to change. Joe was assigned
100% to a task that would take 5 days. He worked 3 days and then estimates
that there are still 4 days of work to do, the original 5 day estimate was
off. You really only have 2 choices. He either works 8 hours a day for 4
days to do the required work, extending the curation to a total of 7 days in
the process, or he somehow magically gets the 4 days of remaining work
accomplished in the 2 days of time left in the the original duration,
generating 16 hours of work during each 8 hour workday thus working at 200%
allocation. But that's actually not possible - 100% means the resource is
already working as fast as they can possibly work and the only way you
really can exceeed that is to get someone else to work along with him to
carry part of the load. There really aren't any other physical ways that
scene could play out.

Many Small Problems

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 10:43 AM PDT

Dale said it all, but why would you NOT just automatically keep all your
users on all the up-to-date service packs, not just Project but for all your
other software as well? They're free so the cost is very minimal, just the
labour cost of applying the patches, and they're always issued for a reason,
usally to fix a problem. I suggest just consider the maintaining of all
your software to the most current service packs to be just a routine and
non-optional part of the business overheads.

Did you make the dependency from the start of the milestone to the start of
the task or the other way around?
The first should work. The second will give the result you describe.

Having the task finish date update when % complete = 100%

Posted: 15 Aug 2005 12:29 PM PDT

Nope because the updates might or might not be happening in real time. What
would happen if the task was scheduled for Mon, Tue, and Wed of last week,
we found that we were actually done late Tuesday afternoon, but for some
reason we put off updating our timecard information until today?

Quote Template Question

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 10:55 AM PST

Got a reply back from Ternek Christian to change the return above the table
to 1 pt. Also ensured the paragraph formatting was 0/0 paragraph spacing and
single line spacing on both.

I also changed the one after the product table. Looks fine in Print Layout
with what appears to be a 1 pt gap, BUTwhen I view it in Print Preview or
print it, the first product and the Title row are 1 point joined, but the
other products again have a bigger gap! So what do I do now?

Any suggestions would be helpful as we really want to use this feature to
print out our quotes, without resorting to a third-party product at this time.

Thanks so much!

Using slugs like this is very picky. The syntax needs to be absolutely
correct, and it is often case senstive. The table names and field names
should be taken from schema manager, not SQL server. You can also check the
field names by looking at the customise form view of the object in question
under the schema tab.

Chat with a MSFT expert about CRM performance, Mar 15-17, HERE!

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 01:51 PM PST

The problem for us with regard to pinpointing the issue is that we can
"predict" it. It happens after a couple of days. Also other web applications
on the server do not have any problems which makes us suspect SQL but we
cannot see any processor usage above normal (10-15%).

w3wp.exe takes up about 450MB RAM.

The other bizarre thing that often happens with this issue is that sometimes
we can "read" (view records) but if we try to save the record after making a
change the system will hang and then we have to restart SQL to get it to
work again.

There are about 35 users. CRM Server has 2GB RAM, on a dual proc server.
(Zeon - not sure of exact speed right now)

SQL is running 2GB RAM on a single processor box. But we are upgrading that
this weekend.
