linux installation in a logical partition ?

I haven't noticed any but since it's said that Linux should always be
installed on primary partitions - - -
 

This goes to question number 1. Since we're stuck with primary
partitions only - it doesn't really matter if there is such a thing as a
logical partition.

tcpdump filters for data collection

You could possibly export netflow from your Cisco. This wouldn't include the

Not sure if that would include HSRP. In what way do you want to map your
network?
 

If you specify what protocols you're interested in and don't capture
everything going across the interface, that will greatly reduce the size of
the capture file, eg:

# tcpdump -i ethN vrrp

will capture only VRRP packets [it may capture HSRP as they're similar but
incompatible]. Or possibly even 'not ip' would suffice. 'man tcpdump' will
explain more. HSRP is not a routing protocol by the way.
 

I would have thought it would be a matter of trial and error; Start off at
say, 100 bytes, review the dump in Wireshark and keep increasing the
capture size until it says it's not truncating packets any more [the ones
you're interested in, anyway].

Fedora 10 upgrade scrolls GRUB over and over during boot

night it cools off and has to warm up again for the hardware to work properly.
I would love grub to tell me what it is doing while it not executing so maybe
I could fix it.

As long as yours booted with windows as expected I presume there is no

Installing new linux distribution from an already running linux

Posted: 26 Nov 2008 09:33 PM PST

> Explain what you really want to do, and you may get a better answer.

I hope I am not posting something off the topic here.

As mentioned in my original post I was just trying to find why the
installer programs are not made standalone, and made pretty difficult
to access from CD directly. It is quite difficult if the distribution
is new to the user.
 

There is nothing wrong. In many cases installation fail, but will
be easy to fix if the installers were ran from an already running
linux. Also easier if one wants to let the installation go in the
background while the machine is being used.

Thanks.

enforce blowfish encryption for RHEL5

The current patch level of RHEL5 supports SHA-256 (sha256 keyword) and
SHA-512 (sha512 keyword) as arguments of pam_unix.so. MD5 in the shadow

the new keywords went into effect. I've never made any manual changes
to the arguments of pam_unix.so, and the current setting in my
system-auth file is sha512.

MD5 is acceptable as a cryptographic hash only if it's well-implemented,
which UNIX passwords are. Acceptability really just means people
shouldn't panic if their current technology involves properly
implemented MD5. You should really migrate to one of the SHA variants
as soon as possible. (Improperly implemented cryptography is never
recommended, no matter how strong the improperly implemented algorithms
are.)

1920x1200 res on an FC6 machine w/ Intel 915

Richard Vaughn wrote: 

You probably need to find a copy of 915resolution, install it, and
configure it. Personally, I'd snag the latest source RPM from the F8
release updates and build from that. I had a laptop with a 945 or 965
with a 1280x800 (or something like that - I don't have it any more). I
had to do the same thing. It worked fine. If you're not into building
RPMs, you might be able to find something precompiled in the usual places.

Basically the graphics controller doesn't have a BIOS that supports
1920x1200, so X.org doesn't think it's possible. 915resolution runs
from an init script and patches (sort of) the BIOS so that X.org can
find whatever mode you want it to find.

Beginning with F9, the capabilities of 915resolution are built-in to the
version of X.org that comes with the release, so 915resolution become
unnecessary. Only F7 and F8 ever had it.

The directories would not have been deleted during the kernel uninstall

Is above error message always related to shared object libraries, or can

A configure script was not required and not supplied in this case
(FreePascal project). AFAIK even for cross-compilation it's sufficient
to give the desired target OS in the make command, the compiler resolves
the platform dependencies internally.

 

I couldn't find the program in a menu. A "which" from the command line
gave "not found". By now I know why: there exist 2 executable files,
named "lazarus-ide" and "lazbuild". That's why a "laz" input could not
be completed, and a "lazarus" could not be found or invoked. After the
first successful invocation I could find a "Lazarus" application in the
history menu. It's somewhat confusing that an according "Lazarus" on the
command line never would succeed, due to a case mismatch :-(

MS Project lacks basic project management features!

Posted: 13 Jan 2006 08:29 AM PST

Hi Ace,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

I think the problem exists because of a different understanding of the word
"Project". In MS Project's design is the universal definition of a project
being a unique undertaking with a clearly definable start and finish,
requiring the management of money materiel and men. It thus uses the
Critical Path Method for project scheduelling.

In your case, you seem to be running a production line of some sort. MS
Project is designed to help plan and schedule for production of the first
bird house or wedding cake, but not a series of them. For that you need
production software of some sort. That does not mean you can't use Project
for what you're doing, but you will run in to the sorts of problems you're
seeing. There's no inventory control, no means of Project guessing which
resource to use (you have to do that) and certainly no optimization
facilities other than trial and error. MS Project is just not designed for
that.

Hi Frank,

You're welcome for the assistance thus far and thanks for the additional
information.

If you only wish to show information on "main" tasks in one file, it may be
a whole lot easier to just work with filters in the one file to filter out
the tasks you don't wish to see. Take a look at the filter called Summary
Tasks.

You can also choose which level of tasks (Outline Level 1 - the "main" or
top level summary tasks, Outline Level 2 - next level tasks down, etc) by
selecting the Outline level from the Show drop down on the Formatting
toolbar.

Again, if this is only from one project, it is much more efficient to work
with just the one file. If you want to see "main" tasks from several files,
you can create a master through Insert > Project and still use the filtering
or Outline level option as needed.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Doug,
In Project Work and Duration are two separate things. Duration is the
time span during which a task is performed. In Project it is usually
expressed in working time (assuming a normal calendar with 8 hour days
and 5 day weeks). On the other hand, Work is the total effort expended
by one or more resources to actually accomplish the task. If a single
resource is assigned full time to a given task, then and only then, the
Duration and Work will be the equal. So adding 50% to the remaining
workload is not necessarily the same as adding 50% to the remaining
duration.

Trying to read between the lines, it sounds like your boss simply wants
to capture the original plan so it can be compared to the current
working schedule as the plan is executed. This is called baselining and
any good planning/scheduling application (e.g. MS Project) has this
feature built-in. It also sets up the basis for classical earned value
metrics. None of this requires any customizing of spare fields.

Microsoft Word - Word 2013: Unable to insert jpg (jpeg) files

Microsoft Word - Word 2013: Unable to insert jpg (jpeg) files

Word 2013: Unable to insert jpg (jpeg) files

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 01:36 PM PST

I'm using Windows 8.1 and Word 2013.

I'm unable to insert jpg files into my Word document.

Here's what I did:

1. Chose the "Insert" tab and then "Illustrations". I clicked on the "Pictures" button.

2. An "Insert Picture" window popped up, asking me for the location of the jpg file.

3. I searched for the jpg file which resided locally on my machine, clicked on it and pressed the "Insert" button.

4. On my Word document, I saw there was a box with a frame. The frame was made up of small dashes with eight tiny grey-colored rectangles on its borders.

There was NO picture. The dimensions of the picture is 945x552 pixels, 96 dpi, 165 KB.

Lost a WORD DOC due to a power failure

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 10:40 AM PST

I was editing a WORD DOC that I'd saved before and we had a power failure. I know what folder it was saved in but not the file's name or even what word the name started with.

Surprisingly to me, when I restarted WORD after the power was restored, it popped a box telling me something about two open files that it had saved to ????? and offered to do something if I wanted to (I don't remember what that was all about).

So stupidly I said "NO" since I thought that any new DOCs that I'd started weren't that important. I never thought about it LOSING a previously Saved WORD DOC. 

But I've looked Like EVERYWHERE and can't find the thing. I'm pretty sure that since I know where to look I'd find it as I know how to search for certain words in file names and in their content.

This HELP page told me how to solve this but it hasn't. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/316951/en-us

I've done all 7 steps. The only one that still has me baffled is Method 5 >#5 where it says "Browse to the location that you saved the .tmp files, and then click All Files *.* . If you do not click All Files *.*, the .tmp files may not be displayed."
I've tried to figure out what that means and how to do it and I can't. I don't know where I'm supposed to click some All Files *.* thing.

Can I have some quick Help please?

Inserting comments visible in print without changing the pagination

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 09:32 AM PST

Hello,

I have made annotations (as inserted comments) on my thesis, which I will need to have with me for an exam. The page structure however needs to stay the same, and the right white margin of the page is not enough to contain these comments, thus they do not fit into the printed page.

Any suggestion what I can do to make room for those comments without changing the pagination of the doc, which needs to stay the same as it was before? Thanks!

WORD document appear not to respond to control-S

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 08:45 AM PST

My usual experience with control-S on an open WORD document shows a quick progress bar on the bottom edge of the display window. Another control-S does nothing, which makes sense since the content has just been saved, Exiting at this point does not result in the usual question "Do you want the contents saved?" which is now unnecessary since there have been no further changes,

I have some WORD documents, however, with which this doesn't happen. Control-S does not show the usual progress bar, only a momentary "busy" cursor. Repeated control-S repeats the "busy" cursor but show no progress bar. Exiting has the usual dialog even though no new changes were made after saving.

I am using Office 2010 on Windows 7. To repeat, this strange behavior is limited to a small number of my documents; most are normal.

Does anyone recognize this problem? I would appreciate some help!

VBA code to modify the (Name) property of an ActiveX Command Button

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 08:44 AM PST

Hello,

I have a Word 2010 Macro enabled document that contains two sets of ActiveX Command Buttons.  One set of buttons performs a spell check on specific sections of the document and then prints those same sections.  The other buttons add new pages to the document.

During the month of November, all the buttons worked perfectly.  During December, Microsoft applied an MS Office Security Update (KB2553154) which disabled all of my AxtiveX Command Buttons.  I have since learned at this site, thanks to Suzanne S. Barnhill , that Microsoft has created a workaround for this issue KB3025036 .  Our IT staff has applied the workaround to the necessary PCs.

After applying the workaround fix, most of the command buttons work again, but some of them don't.  In researching the problem, I discovered that the  (Name) Property for the buttons that are not working has been changed, thus when clicking on the button, the macro cannot be located because it has a different name than the button does.

For example, in one instance the original button (Name) was Print_Intake_Form, but the (Name) has now been changed to Print_Intake_Form1.  In another instance, the original button (Name) was Print_Intake_Form, but the (Name) has now been changed to Print_Intake_Form11. 

My idea for fixing this issue would be to create a macro that modifies the (Name) property for all the ActiveX buttons back to their original names.  If that seems like the best way to fix the issue, what VBA code woudl be needed to perform such a task?

If that is not the best way to resolve the issue, I am open to suggestions.

Thank you

Mark

How to Change Review Comment Author Name

Word 2007 label printing issue

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 06:57 AM PST

Whenever I try to print 1 or more sheets of labels, Word forces my printer into "Manual Feed" mode. The printer is a Brother HL3170CDW laser printer. It never did this before. I used to be able to put the label sheets in the tray of the printer, tell Word to print all pages, and walk away while the labels printed. Now I have to stand there and manually feed label sheets. Regular Word docs print normally, it just seems to be a label printing issue. Anyone with any ideas?

Trying to get autocorrect to respect a new word

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 06:12 AM PST

I am concerned that I am asking a question that has been answered, since it seems likely others face the same issue, but I can't find it. So apologies in advance.

I use autocorrect. When I type in the abbreviation EHR for "electronic health record" the autocorrect function insists on fixing it to HER. I have to go back and un-correct this each time I use it. I have asked autocorrect to ignore capitalized words, and I have added EHR to my custom dictionary. Neither had any effect. Can one of you tell me what I should do, other than turn off autocorrect, which is generally pretty helpful.

Explain the merit of this install method

Posted: 04 May 2008 04:19 PM PDT

Hi H.T.,

You'd need to ask your management or IT folks on the background as to the method they chose. It may be to minimize the number of
licenses used or it could be the first time installation for a specific machine or just a roaming profile setup run (it's the same
installer/configuration tool, but it usually has a shorter runtime than a full install would).

For specifics on licensing you may want to phone the MS Licensing folks.

I cannot find any information on per seat/per user licensing in reference to
Office. All I found was that Office licenses are concurrent licenses.
The clients are regular (Win XP SP2) not Terminal Server clients.
The installation seems to be a full one, users see the same installation
process as if they installed from a CD where they have to choose typical or
custom and which applications to install, etc.

Couldn't the SA at least automate the Office install so that it is the same
for all of the users and they would not have to select anything the 1st time
they access one of the Office apps? >>

The EULA is for a Desktop & portable device, however MS has no way of

Total resources per day

3326ubb,
Project's leveling function can be limited to a selected span of time
but not for a specified number of resources. So to answer your direct
question, "no", but . . . there is generally always a way if you are
willing and able. I'm not sure it would be worth the effort, but there
should be a way to use a VBA macro to either, a) selectively employ time
based leveling, or b) te the leveling function with a custom
algorithm. If I were doing it, I would use the latter.

I'm not sure this would help, but can you break the overall project into
sections or phases wherein there are 40 or fewer resources associated
with each? It will still require a significant amount of effort to
monitor everything but then that's what a Project Manager does.

Hope this helps.

Underallocation of resource

Posted: 10 Jan 2006 01:39 PM PST

Hi Tim,
You're welcome for the assistance thus far and thanks for the additional
information.
The scenario you describe about contoured work for a resource frequently
comes about as a result of tracking actual data. For example: a resource is
initially assigned at 80% to a 5 day duration tasks, the planned work is 6.4
hours per day. If I record 5 hours of actual work on day 1 the percent
allocation for that day drops to 63% -- the resource didn't work the
original hours scheduled and the remaining 1.4 hours of work is scheduled
into day 6 at an allocation of 18%. Even if I change the contour of the
assignment back to flat, it does not affect any actual work recorded.

The splits you are seeing may be as a result of either resource leveling
(leaving the option "Leveling can create splits in remaining work" enabled)
or by using the Update Project command and rescheduling incomplete work.

I hope this helps. Please post again if this doesn't describe your
scenario.

Can I import data from Excel into Project?

Posted: 10 Jan 2006 10:41 AM PST

Hi slwaite,

No sorry. The import from Excel to Project does not link the data. As Dave
mentioned you can paste link data from Excel to Project but those links are
fragile and may easily become corrupt.

You can track the hours spent working on tasks within Project directly
instead of tracking in Excel and trying to transfer the data back to
project.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Glad you got it worked out. As you work with Project, you'll find that
many things are order dependent. Do the same steps but in a different
order will give entirely different results. It's the nature of the
beast. And once you've assigned a resource to a task, if you change the
assignment or add more resources, you get very different results. When
I work with my clients, particularly in the area of resource
assignments, after I figure out what results they want, I create a
protocol of how to get that result. I then tell them to always follow
that exact protocol if they want that result. Avoids a lot of problems!

Hope this helps in your world.
