This is one of those things that looks like it might have a simple solution but is rather time consuming once you start investigating PyTile, Xnee and the likes.
I know, I should just use a tiling window manager etc., but I suppose it can be done in OpenBox, and I am just hoping somebody already has a working solution.
Ok, so I want to press a key combination while I am in an OpenBox session (Lubuntu LXDE to be more precise) and have my terminal appear below my then resized Chromium window (say ~60% Chromium and ~40% Terminal).
In this recent post about criticism regarding built-in DRM in Intels SandyBridge processors, Intel denies that there's any DRM in Sandybridge processors but goes on to say that
Intel created Intel insider, an extra layer of content protection. Think of it as an armoured truck carrying the movie from the Internet to your display, it keeps the data safe from pirates, but still lets you enjoy your legally acquired movie in the best possible quality
I'm confused now. So far I was thinking DRM is content protection. Can someone shed light on this?
I'm trying to get a grip of OS X (SL), but haven't yet found a keyboard shortcut to switch windows of a single application, say, Safari. I can hit F10 and select the right window from there but it feels unnecessarily complicated - and needs a mouse.
So, is there a shortcut to switch windows of a single application?
Instructions for using mod_auth_kerb to authenticate a Linux web server against a Windows domain say it doesn't work to link a machine account with the service name HTTP\[email protected].
Why is it necessary to have a dummy user account instead of a machine account?
In my ever expanding quest for knowledge, I'm at the point where I feel like I need to be more up to date with the current security trends, as well as malware and such that are in the wild. I'd like to be able to say, "I've heard of that and the fix is...." versus, "Oh, yeah, I had that eat up half my network before I contained it...." What sites and publications are good for keeping up with these things?
For CentOS installation CDs, you can install OS, as well as booting into "rescue" mode so that you can do a chroot mount on the system partition for problem solving, even the system is installed in hardware RAID drives. How can we create a similar thing but on usb flash drive? I tried to do it with unetbootin, but when booting into the USB, eventually the CentOS setup still requires presence of CDs.
Ultimately, I want to use this usb flash drive for remote disaster recovery through say HP iLo remote console / Dell iDrac etc.
I am entertaining building a video wall made out of many android devices. But I have to say I have no clue about how to go about it? The fact that these are android devices is not very important I am curious about the general approach to doing video walls with many separated devices.
At best the desktop of one machine should be displayed on all the devices. If not I would be also interested in just showing just a video on that wall.
I try to connect remotly to the KVM (console) of an Hyper-V Virtual Machine using vmconnect.exe but I'm dealing with some kind of a problem :
When I connect from a computer within the same AD of my Hyper-V Host, everything work fine but when I try to connect from a computer not within the same AD, wmconnect say that my RCP services is not running on the host
The problem is that it doesn't ask me for any credentials and so, i can't authenticate in the AD
Does someone have any clues ?
Does an application exist that will cause the computer to switch (bring in to focus) between two different applications, on a timer? This is for Windows 7.
I need this for a screen that will display publicly to customers. I want the screen to switch between two different applications every, say, 30 seconds. I figure there are enough businesses out there will customer-facing monitors these days that something simple like this must exist!
I've searched all over the internet for an answer to this and I can't find one. If I purchase a wireless N router, with greater range than my current G router will the range of the wireless G signal go as far as the wireless N signal? I say this because Wireless N routers are supposed to be compatible with wireless G devices. Is the wireless G a lesser signal coming out of the router?
Sorry if I confused you, I am a little confused myself.
I'm looking to secure my server. Initially my first thought was to use iptables but then I also learnt about Fail2ban. I understand that Fail2ban is based on iptables, but it has the advantages of being able to ban IP's after a number of attempts.
Let's say I want to block FTP completely:
Should I write a separate IPtable rule to block FTP, and use Fail2ban just for SSH
Or instead simply put all rules, even the FTP blocking rule within the Fail2Ban config
Any help on this would be appreciated.

I have an EBS-backed Amazon EC2 instance. I would like to create a daily backup schedule, and keep, say, a week's worth of daily backups, plus a few older images (from 2,3,4 weeks ago). I don't mind creating the backups on the fly, with the snapshot mechanism, but I would like an easy wrapper to manage it for me.
What is the simplest way to set this up? How much would this cost me, for a micro instance?
I know how IP basically works, and knows that an IP address composed of a network ID portion and a host ID portion, but when I type a IP address, say 8.8.8.8 into the web browser, I didn't supply any subnet mask information.
So, how does the browser know where the dividing line is between the network ID and host ID? Since 8.8.8.8 may mean 8.8.8.8/8, 8.8.8.8/24 etc.
In a nutshell, the IP address I supplied is ambiguous.
How does one indicate that one has finished entering test in stdin?
For example, let's say that I wish to encrypt 'blue' using MD5 (I know MD5 is unsecure, but just for this example). I tried
user$ blue | md5
which I was led to understand is how one pipes input to stdin, but it doesn't work right.
But if I just enter
user$ md5
I can enter the word 'blue'. But how do I indicate to md5 that I'm finished entering text?

The Superuser and other sites state that I don't have Javascript enabled. I also am unable to view certain videos on the web and they say that I must have Javascript enabled.
I have searched the net and followed instructions as to enable this, but still no joy.
Can anyone point me to a solution?
Thanks,

EDIT: If it is important, here is the site I am trying: http://www.thestar.com/news/torontog20summit/article/922039--siu-reopens-g20-case-after-photos-surface
from what i understand, all computers need to be in the same subnet /24
so how would i get a computer to be able to connect to another computer that is set as 172 ?
one computer is behind a firewall, the other is connected to a HUGHES sat dish and has the IP of 172
would I need to setup a ROUTE in a firewall between the 2 computers, to say
"if you are trying to get to 172.18.156.65
then use the ip address 192.168.2.65 and translate it to 172.18.156.65"
the firewall is a netgear, if I should use a ROUTE, then I'll try to learn it from the manual
thanks
How to make VLC play .vlm config file in "With no interface mode" on windows?
So I have .vlm config file that should stream audio from mic to localhost so no vlc ui needed. If I say to windows "play .vlm file with vlc" it plays correctly starts server where I need and streams data. but how to do such thing manulay from cmd (so we suppouse we can call vlc.exe by vlc and we are now in folder with vlc.exe and vlcConfig.vlm file)
This is the /etc/fstab entry of a raid system /dev/md4 that is controlled with mdadm and webmin on an ubuntu 10.04 64 server:
/dev/md4 /mnt/md4 ext3 relatime 0 0
We tried to switch off automatic forced fsck on rebotts, as we prefer to implement our own scheduled fsck routine by setting the last parameter of the line to 0 (ZERO).
But we found out the forced and automatic check still occurs on the underlying real disks, lets say sdb1 and sdc1.
How can we switch that off?
When I type in the standard web address for my site, I get a 403 error. However, when I type in a more exact address, say pointing to an index.php file, everything shows up fine.
I'm using Anodyne Productions' Nova (SMS 3) which uses codeignitor. All accompanying software (PHP/MySQL) is compatible.
I'm not a very technical person, so I'm hoping that this is an easy fix.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Say you have a directory with tens of thousands of messages in it. And you want to separate the spam from the non-spam.
Specifically, you would like to:
Run spamassassin against the directory, tagging each message with an X-Spam-Flag: YES if it thinks it's spam
Have a tcsh shell or perl one-liner grep all mail with the flag and move those mails to /tmp/spam
What command can you run to accomplish this? For example, some pseudocode:
/usr/local/bin/spamassassin -eL ./Maildir/cur/* | grep "X-Spam-Flag: YES" | mv %1 /tmp/spam
Let's say I entered a bunch of commands one after another:
rm blah.txt
pwd
ls
cd ..
cd blah
pwd
If I want to get "rm blah.txt" to appear again without typing the whole thing again, I can press up 6 times.
But is there a faster way? Can filter my command history based on some text?
Intuitively, I would like to just type in r and then press up to search through my command history for only commands that started with "r".
I'd like to audit all attempts to access a file or folder that are denied on windows 7.
If it's simple enough, I'd like to be able to either say all, or only specific folders, either would be helpful
I've got a log file that's managed to bloat upto 150MB. Is there a way to read only the last say 100 lines of the file instead of the whole thing? I don't want to have to download a 150 MB file with my current connection. I'd rather SSH in and read the relevant parts.
The Mac OS X Server homepage tells of a feature "Mobile Access Server":
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/mobile-access.html
But the text is very marketingy and doesn't actually say what it does? Is it a type of VPN or a remote desktop thingy or what?
