How do I mirror a monitor in Windows Vista?
I do not want to "extend" the desktop to the monitor, but I want the second monitor (a TV in this case) to be an exact copy of the main monitor.
This is a question on behalf of my friend.
His kid brother installed a password on his windows 7 home premium desktop and now he forgot. How does he get in?
Since the data is backed up into a flash drive, i suggested nuking using DBAN and reinstalling OS.
To complicate matters further, his CD drive doesn't work. In that case, what options does he have available to recover his password?
Can DBAN be run from a bootable pendrive?
I read somewhere that the ultimate boot cd can diagnos computer problems in this case would this program help me get my windows xp back? When I turn on the screen and hit start windows normal or go to safe mode I get a flash of the win xp logo and then it goes to this error page. Can you tell from this message is it a hardware or software issue?

my machine is a Dell Studio XPS 9100 with 8GB of RAM installed. When I open the BIOS setup and enter the System Info, it shows that my machine got 8GB of RAM installed but only 6GB is available (yes this is from the BIOS only). In Windows 7 (64bit Pro) it shows only 6GB of RAM are available. But if I run CPU-Z then it can detect all 8GB RAM. The machine came pre-configured and I have never opened the case before.
Here is the following use case: wanting to ssh server1 in 3 scenarios:
server1 is on current network, go for it
server1 is not on current network and you need to use a gateway (gw1) to access it, not a big problem as you can use ~/.ssh/config to define tunnelling for this
you are on a network that does not allow you to access the first gw1, so you'll use gw2 for that.
Desired outcome: be able to use the same command and be able to connect to the server.
I've heard of Wake-Up-On-LAN (well, I've seen it in the BIOS) but I've never been 100% how to work it. Would this do what I'm after, and if not - would anything else?
I'm using Windows 7, in case it matters..
What exactly does the stanza
limit nproc 20 20
in an Upstart job do?
I've read the documentation here (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#limit), and it seems
like it would limit nproc for any process related to the job. However, I don't see this effect when I've added this to my job's conf file - in this specific case, I've confirmed that my test job's single process was able to fork more than 20 child processes. Any advice?
Thanks.
If I have 1 generic RADIUS server and a number of clients (VoIP server, VPN server, WIFI access point) how to distinguish senders (NAS) of access and accounting requests?
I didn't found anything helpful by reading all related RFCs, there just NAS-IP-Addess or NAS-Identifier is required, but this attributes usually represents IP address of the NAS and this address can not be used as a robust identifier, because it's often possible to fall into the case when 2 different NASes are running on the same server and this attributes can not be customized. Any ideas?
i'd like to start zsh similar to
zsh -c 'my_prog option1 option2'
but instead of exiting after running that command, leaving me at the propt of the invoked zsh (not wherever it is being called from). one particular use-case for this is in screenrc files, you could do something like:
screen -t my_prog 0 zsh -c 'my_prog opt1 opt2'
and after running that command you're left with a shell there instead of it closing.
What is the safest (without additional writing to the disk) way to power down computer whose deleted files you want to recover in order to boot from rescue medium?
In case of a desktop computer, plugging off the power cord looks like the most direct solution, but are there possible side-effects, apart from losing unsaved data? More problematic seems the laptop, with removing the battery being the equivalent, but is it a good idea overall?
My company has a staging site and we access it by a url like this: www.example.com
Until today I did not realise that I had a line in my hosts file which said:
192.0.2.0 www.example.com
(the ip is fake here)
now when I try to access this site through ip , I cannot get access.. why is this the case?
We even own the domain we are using so I do not see the reason why we are using a hosts file and more over, why I cannot access the site through simple IP (by the way, we are using an internal IP)
My server 2008 has mysql databases, SQL Server databases, and multiple websites. How do I back this information up? I have setup the dedicated server to have two 300GB hard drives and they are both mirrored. I want to make sure that I have a backup somewhere else as well.
If it's not my home server, I don't mind backing up somewhere else either but I want to make sure I can restore it completely in case of a failure.
When I open a document using vi or vim, I am unable to navigate the page using Page Up and Page Down keys. On pressing these keys, vim seems to behave in abnormal maaner, and changes the case of character beneath the cursor. It then takes few seconds to come back again in insert mode.
Please let me know, how to map these keys, so that on pressing them I can scroll through pages smoothly just like Ctrl+ (f / b / u / d ).
In MySQL you have to authorized a user based on the name of the origin network. From my network to a remote one all connections appear as sent from mail.mycompany.com. But connections to another remote network it appears with a different origin. How to discover which name/ip it is using?
I tried tcpdump and netstat in the destination but it is difficult to find my connection among billions of others.
In my case the destination is a Windows Server 2003
Scenario: SQL Server 2005 or 2008, Windows 2008 OS. Running in a VM hosted on VMWare ESX server.
Is there any known issue with VMWare when it caches pass-through write request and it never reaches the disk, while SQL Server "thinks" that write actually happened? This may lead to transaction log corruption in case of power failure or VM reboot. Just overheard the conversation but couldn't find it in relation to ESX.
Our SVN server hd was full. Deleted a load of unwanted data on there, and all appeared to be well. However, new check-ins are now failing.
Can't move
'/repos/db/txn-protorevs/1000-vr.rev'
to '/repos/db/revs/1/1001': Permission
denied
1000-vr.rev does not exist. There are two other files in there: 9-9.rev and 9-9.rev-lock
Edit: I have checked file permissions just in case, and all is as it should be.
Since the wall jack is typically always connected to the same port on the switch I would like to be able to know which device is connected at a specific location. In my case I am talking about printers. I have code to go out on the network and find the IP Address of all of my printers, but would like to be able to update a server based on a printer being swapped out of a location for maintenance or repair. Is there a method for determining a port connection?
I have a brand new Windows 8 PC. I'd like to hold on to the licensed copy in case I need to run a Windows app at some time in the future but want to wipe the machine completely, installing Ubuntu with no dual-boot.
Is it possible to save an image of Windows 8 which can then be run (on the same laptop) from Linux as a virtual machine?
If so, what applications (ideally free) should I use to make the image and then run it from Ubuntu?
I've created a form in a PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro.
When empy, I want to use it as a template which the user opens, fills in, and saves as a copy to preserve the blank state of the template.
Here's the trick : I found both ways to
make the document read only - the user can't save the form value, only print them
make the document writeable, but in this case the document acting as a template can be modified too.
Any ideas? Thanks.
This a huge pet peeve I have. Everytime I watch a video in youtube.com or megavideo.com, I can't just Ctrl+Tab to change tabs. I'll have to clic in some portion of the page without video to get it to work, but even that, isn't always the case.
Sometimes I spot two instances of explorer.exe in the Tash Manager. Is there a need to run instances of explorer.exe in any case? Or this is some unusual malicious behavior??
I have 4 GB of memory on a 32-bit laptop (Lenovo T61, in case it matters) running Ubuntu 9.10. Is there any way to make use of it all? Ubuntu only sees 3 GB, of course. Is there any way I can utilize the last GB of memory?
2 x Intel Xeon-Woodcrest 5130-DualCore
2GB RAM
Ubuntu 10.04.0-64
In the worst case this box will be serving ~300 people requesting ~700 images at the same time. The images are around 5K each.
I can upgrade or change the machine if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks!
