Is there a way to grant users access to the Application Event Log on a server without making them a PowerUser on the server?
There are other tools that we can use (syslog or elmah), but it would be easier if we can just grant access to the log.
I just want to be able to open up eventvwr and "Connect to Another Computer".
I'm looking for a Firefox setting or extension that can easily toggle between showing and hiding of all images without reloading the page (similar to Opera's feature - the 'Show only cached images' feature is preferable, but optional in my case).
I have found an extension that can show/hide images (Image-Show-Hide) but it needs to reload the page to show/hide the images.
I prefer that the page not reload when unhiding images from a page previously set to hide all images.
Are there any desktop antivirus products suitable for use in an enterprise environment without a Windows server?
We're currently using McAfee for our Windows desktops but to get updates and alerts with the latest version it looks like you need to be running their EPO server software. I'd like to avoid the cost of hardware and Windows licensing, and if possible to run just client-based antivirus.
Ideally it would support:
Updates from an internal copy of the definitions (e.g. a wget mirror)
Automated configuration of the install
Alerts from the client via email
I'm trying to configure sudo to allow all users to restart apache without having to enter a password.
Security concerns aside, why isn't this working?
I added the line to /etc/sudoers: %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
$sudo -l
User aidan may run the following commands on this host:
(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
(ALL) ALL
$sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
[sudo] password for aidan:
Thanks for any help.
The Ubuntu/Debian installer includes a built-in guided partitioning recipe, called 'multi', which creates separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions. It can be selected by starting the installer with a preseed file. You can see it described in the Karmic install guide:
# You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes:
# - atomic: all files in one partition
# - home: separate /home partition
# - multi: separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
Is there any way to use guided partitioning with this recipe from the Ubuntu alternate install CD without the need to create a preseed file?
I want create a task on my Capistrano deploy to put my public IP on geo module configuration of my NGINX server without restart NGINX, is it possible?
Example, my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
geo $geo {
default no;
include /home/deploy_user/appname/shared/ip_list;
}
The file /home/deploy_user/appname/shared/ip_list I will provide during deploy.
I need this because my public IP can change many times.

Bottom Line:
I need to set up one game on my little sister's laptop to run without requiring an admin password/account. Its the only game that seems to insist on it... so far.
Detailed Version:
I set up my 14-year-old sister as a regular user on her Windows 7 Home Premium laptop, and almost everything has been fine - until she found a new game (Flyff) that doesn't seem to want to run without an Admin Password (or being logged in as an Admin).
For what should be obvious reasons, I'm not going to make her an Admin. or give her the Admin password (which she swears she'll only use to run this game... anyone else buying that? Bueller?)
Also, the parents aren't admins on her laptop (they are on their own, but that's another discussion for another day) and I'm not going to set them up as one as I know from past experience that the 3rd time my sister asks them to put in their password, they'll just tell her what it is - at which point I might as well as have just set her up as an admin from the outset.
This is a Win7 Home Premium (64-bit, but I doubt that makes a difference) laptop, so using GPEdit is out.
I also tried an answer provided in a related (but less specific) question. The app has read/write permissions for its folder in Program Files (x86), yet that doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have not yet dug through the registry as mentioned in another answer to the aforementioned question.
Just to be thorough, I have checked the "Run as Admin" option on the shortcut's properties to no avail.
Am I missing something?
Addendum 2010-11-11:
Re-Checked permissions as per Joel's answer, and it didn't make a difference.
Followed Jane T's suggestion (and Aeo's second) and created a "Games" folder outside Program Files, installing the game there - and making sure regular users had all the permissions they would need. No joy.
After the latter of the above two changes, it occurred to me that it may be a UAC issue, so for kicks I turned off UAC - still the damn message.
Last item noted: could it be a result of the publisher not being specified/verified? I've been taking a closer look at the error message and it occurred to me that the missing/unverified publisher info could have been the problem all along... Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's the case, that means there's nothing I can do short of giving her some sort of Admin privileges (i.e. elevating her account, or giving her the password to a separate Admin account) or giving Mom an Admin account.
I use the minimal "fast lightweight window manager" (fwlm) which doesn't have a system tray.
I need a simple program to manage my WIFI and virtual private netwok connection --- and found the NetworkManager.
The problem is that the NetworkManager is a system-tray icon: I cannot see it or click on it in my fwlm windows manager. Hence, I ask:
Is there any way to start the NetworkManager directly without using the system tray?
Hi,
there is any pastebin-like php open source system without sql? I want to install it on localhost and dont want to backup sql.
edit: Highlighting as much as possible languages (as pastebin.com).
I recently installed the latest drivers and my screen backlight turned off. The problem is that my Fn-F7 key combination doesn't work, so I can't turn it back on.
I can see my screen at night if I hold a source of light next to the screen. So I can still do some trivial things with my laptop.
Is there a way to turn the backlight on without using Fn-F7 key combination, either via the command line, or some other way?
At work I have a SuSE 7.3 running Apache 1.3.20, which I don't have admin access to. I'd like to deploy Ruby on Rails with no or very little work for the admins.
I need the service to keep running all the time, even if the server is rebooted, I need it to run faster than CGI-Speed and I'd like to have a simple domain without ports.
What are my options?
I've been trying to connect to a network that uses the dissolvable agent to scan and OK your computer. The scan gets to around 70% ish, I think the last notification is that it's searching for AVG then closes, without report or notification.
I've tried running it in compatibility modes, checking registry, running CCleaner, running as administrator, creating another user account and disconnecting all other HDD's appart from my system drive.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and before I joined the network bradford ran fine and gave me the all okay.
I have an HP Officejet 8600 Pro that has faxing capabilities. However I do not send faxes often and I do not need to pay for a dedicated fax number/line. Is there a way to send and receive faxes using the built in wifi without a fax number from the HP? I have seen online services that allow this from the PC, is that the only way to do this? I am using Windows 7 for my OS.
EDIT I do not use a regular phone line.
How would I go about displaying Ruby-generated dynamic pages without relying on a framework, such as Rails?
My intention is to serve Ruby .erb pages just as I would with .php files.
My server uses EngineX, which seems to play well together with Passenger.
Is there a native|portable tool that can give me an unicode (or at least system local-compatible) list of all files and directories under a path recursively, without recursing into junction points or links, in Windows?
For example, the built-in dir command, as well as takeown and icacls run into an infinite loop with the Application Data directory (1).
EDIT I would like to be able to get a text file or at least easy clipboard transfer as output.
Is it possible to backup the System State of a 2008 server without using wbamdin? The setup in question does support the requirements that wbadmin forces (all volumes are marked as critical).
Third party tools are an option but I would like to keep away from the big money sinks (BE etc)
Is there is any way I can copy locked files on windows xp machine without having admin rights? I used unloker tool its great but needs admin rights to install and run. how it could be done in some programming language like perl/shell/c c++ etc. or if there exists some workaround for this.
I would like to find a way to open a url without using a web browser making my computer system runs very slow. Is there an easy way to achieve this on a command prompt using ssh to access another network? Thanks in advance!
hi all,
I've recently started playing with ESXI and now want to move all my current data (movies etc) to an openfiler vm image.
Currently I have esxi 4.1 running off a Patriot XT memory stick and a 500gb hdd for the VM datastore which I will put OF on.
How do I go about adding in the other hard drives I have to make them available to the OF machine without losing the data on them? They are currently formatted as NTFS

I am currently planning on installing a 64 bit version of Ubuntu. I have my partitions set up already, but my cd writer is currently out of commission. Is there anyway for me to install it without creating a bootable CD?
(My computer is currently dual-booting between Vista x32 and ubuntu x32)
In emacs, sometimes I will be in the middle of finding a file or switching buffers or doing something in the minibuffer, and I will click somewhere else for some reason. When I go back, the only way to make the minibuffer prompt active again is to click inside the minibuffer, which is annoying because it is a thin area. Is there any way to switch back to an active minibuffer prompt without using the mouse?
Where can I download vmware-vdiskmanager for Ubuntu without installing vmware workstation?
