Changing Motherboard and processor

This is why distros use modules NOT built in. They need to run on a huge

Which is why Gentoo demands that you build your own from scratch. Except

well, the assumption there is that the package exists as a .deb or .rpm
(the latter can be problematic because it was not "packaged" for ubuntu).
A lot of software exists which is not in the official repositories at all
or they are not updated often enough. For example, Firefox 2.* was
released few days ago and it exists in ubuntu 6.10 but a week ago, you
could not readily get a .deb. You had to install from the web site.

anyway, most well-created packages will come in a ".tar.gz" which is
compressed .tar file. "tar -zxvf filename" will extract the files for
you. The first thing to look for is "INSTALL" or "README" and you will
probably see instructions about "./configure", "make" , etc. Do these
without a "sudo" . Then if everything goes well do "sudo make install
....".Instead of the last one you can try using "checkinstall" (sudo apt-get
checkinstall) .See http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ . This
latter allows a nice uninstall method and I beleive it will let you get
dependencies automatically too.

This is fairly generic but not always true. other programs will have
their own instructions.

The boot loader is a fundamental concept of operating systems. The
function that the loader provides may go unnoticed, especially if your
computer arrived with the OS preinstalled, and the boot loader is
functioning correctly. Even when you first install GNU/Linux, you may not
have noticed that the loader was changed. That is because a lot of the new
setup programs hide complexities from the end user in the name of
"user-friendliness." IMO, they may not be doing you any favors. It is
better to understand this concept from the start. That way, if you
"break" the loader, you'll be in a better position to understand what
needs to be done to fix it. The idea behind the loader isn't really that
hard to understand. Take a few minutes to read the documentation. This
looks like a good overview which supplements the official documentation:

Back to your original question...
This screenshot shows the grub boot menu:

If your grub loader is installed correctly, then it should display
something similar for you. Notice the bottom of the screenshot which
states:

"...Press Enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before
booting, or 'c' for a command-line."

Pressing 'c' will give direct access to the grub shell and its pre-boot
environment. That may be what your original question was driving at.

Also, when the loader cannot find its menu (because it absent), the
default action is to go directly to the grub shell at boot:

Microsoft CRM - Default dropdown is Account instead of Contact - options?

Default dropdown is Account instead of Contact - options?

Posted: 30 Mar 2005 10:35 AM PST

Hey Chris:

If you're clients creating a new record from say, the Menu's "New" button,
or from the Quick Create tool, etc, the default lookup item is "Accounts",
and ther's no MBS supported way to change that.

However, your client can avoid that hassle anyway by creating new records
from within the the Contact's record.

eg, I want to create a Phone Call for my Contact "Calvin R Mason". Rather
than creating a blank e-mail, and then having to click on the lookup button,
switch "Accounts" to "Contacts" then searching for "Mason", I do it from the
get-go, by searching for the Contact, then creating the Activity from his
record.

While this method doesn't save any steps, psychologically, it's less annoying.

Outside creating new activities, if you create all new records from within
their native parent record, you can utilize CRM's out-of-the-box data field
mappings, which can reduce redundant data entry significantly. you can even
map custom fields provided the data types in both records are equal.

Prepending text in the topic of an opportunity via Workflow

Posted: 30 Mar 2005 01:55 AM PST

Gill:

If I understand you correctly, the First section of Text in the Tpoic field
would be the Account name? Then you would like to have the User's name?...
I'm no too sure what you want, but there are several ways to auto-populate
this data field.

To get the Account name into the Topic field, simply Map the Account's
"Name" field to the Opportunity's "Topic" Field in the Deployment Manager.

To add any other text, I recommend using JScript in a Picklist's OnChange
event. In other words, if you want the next string in the Topic field to be
the user's name, then you would build a Picklist field on the Opportunity's
"General" tab with all of the Sales People's names. Then you add some basic
JScript code to the Picklist's "OnChange" event tab, so that the name chosen
from the Picklist is appended to the Topic Field... Something like the
follwoing would work:

var s = crmForm.CFPAppendTopic.value;
crmForm.name.value += s;

However, Workflow does have the Advantage of updating several Records at a
time, so you may want to use manual workflow, creating a rule for each Sales
Person, so'a to Append the Topic field with thier name. The syntax in "Update
Object"
in workflow is the same '+=' to Append the field with the Sales person's name.

Hi!

If you want an easier way to do this take our Add-On
WordMailMerge for MS CRM 1.2.

With this Add-On you can make this directly out of MS Word.
You will have a search window in Word to select the contacts and
make a mailmerge to email as Matt described, but you do not have to export
to excel and
make the mailmerge self.
This Add-On makes this work for you.
You can download a trial-version at www.mscrm-addons.com

Cases responsiblecontactid

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 12:49 PM PST

At one project we started down an interesting path - We wanted to build a
customization that would populate this field -

We wanted to have the user initially link the case to the contact record
then - optionally - click a button on the toolbar which would look up that
contact's parent company and if there was a parent company, it would copy
the contact's guid into the responsible contact ID and the parent company's
guid into the customer field - (and change the type to 1 (account))

A second button in the toolbar would reverse the process by moving the GUID
in the 'responsiblecontactid' to the customer and changing the type back to
2

Alas, we never got to it. - plans changed on how they wanted cases
associated.

If anyone has the time and inclination and wants to create this gem, you'd
be an instant hero to a handful of CRM Service users.

List view customization

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 12:29 PM PST

JM,
Should be no problem. There is a well-known hack that allows you to
modify any CRM view.

1) Open SQL Enterprise Manager and enter this query against your MSCRM
DB:

select top 10 * from savedquerybase where name like '%order%'

2) You'll see the Order Product Associated View (Existing) - copy the
SavedQueryID GUID in that row.

3) Using the CRM Customization tool, double click on any view (My
Accounts; it truly doesn't matter).
4) Hold down the CTRL key and hit the N key. CTRL/N will give you the
address bar
5) Replace the GUID with the GUID you just copied. In the URL, it says
?id={GUID}. Just select the stuff inside the brackets, and hit CTRL/V
to paste your Order GUID in.
6) Your Order Product Associated View will appear. Modify as usual,
Save.

Voila, you have a custom Order Product view... No IISRESET, it's just
there... It's a wonderful thing... Kudos to whoever first posted this
solution, I've used it everywhere.

Good luck,
Dave

Distribution Database Grown Very Large

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 10:02 AM PST

Scott, I would like to add that I generally run DBCC OpenTran against the
Database to check for any transactions that have not been written to disk.

You could use the dbcc shrinkfile command to reduce the size of the LDF
file, or detach the database and reattach it. This creates an new Transaction
file.

Then I shrink the database.

flag individuáls in crm

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 07:27 AM PST

Goran,

This sounds like something I've configured for one of my clients. We
added a custom tab and section called "Interests", and added a series
of check boxes (in Deployment Manager, add boolean fields).

Users can then check the individual items of interest for each contact.
Using Advanced Find, you can then generate a list of all people who
have an interest in "pc" and/or "monitor", for example, and send them
an email...

Particularly when working with Contacts, you need to be careful not to
add too many (large) fields or you'll bump against the SQL table size
limit. Booleans (implemented as check boxes in the GUI) take up less
space than the picklist (integer) fields. HTH,

isv.config spontaneously rolls back to random date!

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 06:38 AM PST

The install puts a copy of it in the program files files dir. If the version
that you were getting wasn't that original version, then it probably came from
an import of a customization file.

As for why it does this, I can't say. There are benefits to having a backup
copy of the file, but then I wish the doc recommended modifying the "backup"
version and then "publishing" so that this was avoided.

It also begs the question why it does this? Changes in isv.config need
not have anything to do with changes in deployment manager so why on

CRM and SecurityRole

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 10:02 PM PST

Dears,

thanks in advance for any reply.

In fact there is something terribly wrong with the roles in CRM.
Cause i am facing a problem till now i haven't found solution to it.

Users are not able to login, except for the administrator account.
Also adding new role to this account is possible but nothing changed,
no new functionnalities.

Once a user try to connect using IE 6, using Active diretory account,
the famous dialog "account, pass & domain" pops up. once insert those
fields it pops up once again. in the crm server, i can see in the logs
that this account have logged and privileges checking and then log off.

means that previleges are missing. thing which i don't understand,
specialy that everything is configured as it must be.

People can use Active directory accounts, login directly into other
network services without using account & pass, example Exchange mail
accounts, and so on.

And why just the administrator account who can login ???

have you ever face such problem ?

in fact i have post this here cause it's role and privileges issue you
are discussing here.

Best regards.

Is there a workaround to reaching the CRM database limit for a rec

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 08:43 PM PST

Yes there will. There are 2 major changes that will help here in CRM 2005.

1) All custom attributes will be moved to an extension table, so you will have
the full 8k for your own fields.

2) You have the ability to add new tables that can be related to the CRM
infrastucture. So, you can add another table with the same PK to hold even more
fields.

Contact View, Notes & Attachment

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 08:21 PM PST

HT:

Check out this German Add-on Product for Categorizing your Attachments:

http://www.mscrm-addons.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32

I think it's exactly what you're looking for. If not, Customer Effective has
some good solutions for more efficient document attaching and file management
integrating with SharePoint (probably the better way to go, as the
attachments aren't bogging down you SQL production server)

As far as your Standardized Notes Title thing, running custom SQL Scripts is
easier, but not always supported by MBS, so it may not be the best way to go.

You could create Manual workflow that would create a new note with a
standard title (since workflow is specific to the entity in which the
workflow is initiated, you can do different standardized titles for each
entity). Only thing is that the user would have to run the Workflow rule,
then go into notes, select the one that was just created to fill in the body
of the note. This may prove to be difficult because the only field Notes have
to search on is the title... If they are all the same, who would know which
not is which?

Therefore, I suggest you employ an activity roll-up product like Customer
Effective's Interactions, or c360's Activity Summary. This gives you all the
granularity (grid view-wise) that you wish you had with Notes and
Activities...

Office365-Word-Win8.1 Headers Change Size on random pages

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 01:48 PM PDT

When formatting a multi-page document, using page breaks and section breaks, with alternating headers, the headers appear as designed with this exception:

on certain random pages (not right after or before breaks, etc.) the header space is suddenly taking up half the page, so the text appears under an expanse of white in the middle of the page, rather than at the top.

If I attempt to edit the header, I can see the bottom margin is just above the text, half-way down the page.

Changing the "space from top" does not reduce this deep margin. The header is showing exactly where it should, so doesn't need to be higher.

What could be causing this? How can I correct this problem when it is only happening on completely random pages?

Grateful for any and all suggestions.

Thank you.

Microsoft Word - The most defective Word Processing Program on The Market Today

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 04:48 AM PDT

I cannot help but believe that Microsoft products have become so frustratingly defective, that, by now, they must actually be hurting the US economy.

Hundreds of thousands of employees across the Country have been forced to waste hundreds of thousands of hours of work time, wrestling with defective Microsoft programs which either do not function, or are so counter-intuitive, that they have employees ripping their hair out, just trying to perform basic functions so that they can work accomplished.

Lets look at the newest version of Microsoft Word.  So many of its functions no longer operate that this product should never have been made available to the public.  Non-working functions are those that simply do not work when you choose them. 

By way of example, if you tell the program to stop opening documents in safe mode, by turning off the options in the trust center, the program will ignore you, and will keep opening documents in safe mode.  Want to know if this defect really exists?  Just go onto google and search to see how many people are complaining about this, receiving no CORRECT answers as to how to fix this defect.

The same goes for the remove page numbering command, and the change page orientation command, each of which will often simply not function.  These are just three, of a very long list.

It is just amazing that they took what was an excellent word processing program, and turned it into garbage.

As for the abomination known as Windows 8, god only knows how much employees' time US companies have lost as a result of that moronic diatribe of computer coding.

I think the entire Board of Directors at Microsoft needs to be replaced.  Any competent board would have never let a respectable company put out garbage such as this.

Problems adding dictionary app to Word

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 10:43 PM PDT

I have added the Webster Dictionary app to my Office 365 account, but when I try to insert it in Word and use it, I get an error

APP ERROR This app could not be started. Close this dialog to ignore the problem or click "Restart" to try again.

Clicking restart just gives exactly the same error.  I have also tried restarting word but this makes no difference.

Can anyone help please?

thanks

ASUS T100 May Have Virus, Microsoft Word has disappeared

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:39 PM PDT

Hi,
On every internet browser I've tried (Explorer, Chrome, Firefox), I am getting an inordinate number of pop-ups and difficulty opening said browsers.
I'm not sure the origin of this problem, but it wasn't like this initially.
Recently, Microsoft Word has malfunctioned, the shortcut was corrupted, and now Word has completely disappeared from my tablet. It is no longer in any search of the hard drive.
1. How do I find out if there is a virus?
2. Can I reinstall Microsoft Word, despite having no traces of it on my tablet? and if so, How can it be reinstalled?
(I still have the original packaging and informative booklets.

Thank you for your time with this request.

Secure access for Office applications

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 04:52 AM PDT

For reasons of security we have disable unsecured access of office applications to the internet by blocking http access for WINWORD.EXE POWERPNT.EXE and EXCEL.EXE

This does not seem to agree with the featured Microsoft designs (see screenshot)

Will this be adressed in future versions of Office?

Internet Explorer 11 opens Links from Office 365 (except from OneNote) in a Blank Tab

Clicking a first link in an Office 365 program (Word, Excel, Power Point ...) IE 11 opens the corresponding page in a first tab. Clicking a second link opens a Blank Page in a second tab and produces an error message: An unexpected error has occurred. Strange enough, this does not happen with links in OneNote which allows to open any number of tabs. The configuration is: ASUS UX31A with Windows 8.1 Pro and automatic Windows Update.

Asigning multiple resources with delay Microsoft Project

Asigning multiple resources with delay

Posted: 25 Aug 2005 03:18 AM PDT

In MS Project use the Resource Schedule View. This view lets you define the
dates when the resources start work on the tasks. In your scenario simply
define the date (5th day) when Bob joins Dave in coding.

Secondly you need to take into account the work involved. When Bob joins
Dave how much work would have been completed. Then define how they will share
the work, i.e., from 5th day onward how much work is allocated to Bob.

If Dave has to do 60h and Bob 20h then you will get the schedule
automatically calculated by MS project as 7.5 days. This considers that when
Bob joined Dave, Dave had done 50% of the work and the remaining was shared
50% each.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Maybe you should also read

Faq5: Default working hours
That is the most common reason for decimal durations.

How do I put a watermark (i.e. "DRAFT") on a MSProject printout?

Posted: 24 Aug 2005 03:15 PM PDT

Mike,
This will work when printing on normal paper (letter or legal), but I
frequently have to present to an audience and larger paper is sometimes
needed from a plotter. Since the paper source is a 36in wide roll,
reprinting from the same paper is not doable.

I guess I have an expectation that since Word has this feature, why not all
MS products?

Thanks for suggestion using Word, though.

SpaceCamel,
As Mike indicated, Project can vary the fiscal year start but it cannot
handle company financial calendars. Through the use of VBA however, that
feature can be accommodated - I've done it a couple times myself.

Duration is not adding up

Posted: 24 Aug 2005 07:19 AM PDT

In article <com>,
"NK" <microsoft.com> wrote:
 

Nick,
Mike explained how Duration of a Summary Line is calculated by Project.
However, I note in your second post that you are talking about "time".
Perhaps you are looking at the Work field and the Work field of a
Summary Line WILL equal the sum of Work for all subtasks - unless
Calculation (Tools/Options/Calculation tab) is set to manual.

Duration time and Work time are two different entities in Project.
Duration is the time (normally in days) during which a task will/needs
to be accomplished. Conversely, Work time is the effort by one or more
resources to actually perform the task. Depending on how resources are
assigned, the two values (minutes, hours, days, etc.) may or may not be
equal.

If we still are not "getting it", please elaborate so we can give you
the answer you need (although it may not be the answer you want or
expect). For example, what "numbers" don't add up?

Hope this helps.

Formulas and functions

Cynthis,
As I indicated, I am more comfortable with VBA than complex formulas (my
head starts to spin). I have never used graphical indicators with VBA so
this was a learning experience for me too.

The macro is set up to use spare Task field Number1 to display the
indicators (I chose a simple sphere). You didn't indicate what you
wanted to do with Summary Lines. Since % Complete for Summary Lines is
calculated by Project there is always some argument as to its validity.
As written indicators for Summary Lines are not displayed. If you want
indicators for Summary Lines, simply comment out (insert an apostrophe
at the beginning of the line) the first line of code and remove the
comment indicator from the second line of code.

Herewith is the macro. If you need help in setting it up and running it,
let me know. Note: When you copy and paste the code into the VB editor
pay attention to line continuation indicators (i.e. space and
underscore).

Sub DurIndicators()
CustomFieldProperties FieldID:=pjCustomTaskNumber1,
attribute:=pjFieldAttributeNone, _
graphicalindicators:=True
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not t Is Nothing Then
CurVal = t.PercentComplete / 100
shouldbe = Application.DateDifference(t.Start,
ActiveProject.CurrentDate)
ratio = shouldbe / t.Duration
t.Number1 = 3
If ratio >= 0.5 And ratio < 0.75 And CurVal < ratio Then
t.Number1 = 1
If ratio >= 0.75 And CurVal < ratio Then t.Number1 = 2

CustomFieldIndicatorAdd FieldID:=pjCustomTaskNumber1,
test:=pjCompareEquals, _
Value:=1, indicatorID:=pjIndicatorSphereYellow
CustomFieldIndicatorAdd FieldID:=pjCustomTaskNumber1,
test:=pjCompareEquals, _
Value:=2, indicatorID:=pjIndicatorSphereRed
CustomFieldIndicatorAdd FieldID:=pjCustomTaskNumber1,

Early and Late S Curve.

Posted: 24 Aug 2005 03:58 AM PDT

Thanks John,

I wasn't going to write a piece of vba, as this only has to be performed
when we re-baseline a schedule.

I was using the timescaled analysis facilities. the only solution I came up
with is to copy the schedule to a temporary file, copy the late dates over
the early and perform a timescaled analysis to export the data to excel.

But the company I work for has the option to upgrade to project professional
2003, from 2000. But I don't know what the advantages would be to advise them
to do so.

Summary Rows

Thanks, all! Problem solved: I had read the HELP item "the default link type
is finish-to-start," to mean that subsequent tasks are linked by default.
Thanks to Gil Sturgeon for clarifying this.

Formula Question

Posted: 23 Aug 2005 08:18 AM PDT

Got it! Thank you, Jack.

Now I am trying to figure out the next piece of what I am trying to do, but
I am lost. How do I change the color of the text? Can you do that? Is
there an example formula I can look at?

To make my question clearer: Here is one formula that I got off this site
that I am now using: IIf([%
Complete]=100,"Complete",IIf((ProjDateDiff(datevalue([Finish]),Datevalue([Current
Date]),[Project Calendar])/480)>4,"Late by 5 or
More",IIf((ProjDateDiff(datevalue([Finish]),Datevalue([Current
Date]),[Project Calendar])/480)>0,"Late by 1-4","Not Late")))

In cases where the value yields either "Late by 5 or More" and "Late by
1-4", how can I change those tasks to, say, red? Is that possible?

Thanks!

Marc
