In Ubuntu 9.10, how do I change it so as not to show a list of users at the login screen? I would prefer it to be like 9.04 where you typed in the username, then the password.
Is there any way to configure a Windows 7 RDP to require a client certificate to login. So user need to use the certificate and password (just like SSH or client-side certificates in HTTP)
If there is, could you point me a step by step article?
I have a truecrypt volume that is automatically mounted as a favorite upon login. However, I have other startup programs that depend on it being mounted.
How can I have the password prompt appear and be entered before the other programs run?
I don't want to use a delay, but am happy to try running truecrypt as a service (before login) or login script, if I knew how.
I am looking for a school management system to replace a homegrown Access db.
It should be able handle the following for both a Primary and Secondary school
Scheduling classes
Student Enrollment
Allow teacher to enter grades and comments
Generate transcripts and report cards
Handle attendance
Handle tuition billing
It should store data in a server database like SQL Server and it would be nice to have a web interface.
We are open to a commercial system or an Open Source system that comes with support.
Is it possible to generate an FLV out of an MP3 and a JPG, without uselessly looping the image and still be able to seek the audio ?
This command generates a non-seekable video:
ffmpeg -y -i audio.mp3 -i image.jpg -r 1 -acodec copy video.flv
and this one generates a seekable one, but with uselessly looping the image occupying both space and time:
ffmpeg -y -loop_input -i audio.mp3 -i image.jpg -r 1 -acodec copy video.flv -shortest
I thought the pictures associated with our profiles were automatically generated until they were manually changed. A lot of people have these cool identicons based on their IP address.
How can I get my own identicon? I am looking for an online generator. Gravator does not seem to have any options to generate identicons.
Edit: I will probably accept your answer if you just tell me how you made your identicon (and it did not involve downloading/installing stuff)
I recently change my compiz settings for my cube and upon restarting my pc it first black screened, where it got stuck, on this screen the last command stated that it was checking the battery status, it was like this for hours i finally got thru to the Login screen but it will not accept the password (with i know is correct).
I am a novice with Ubuntu but have read and tried everything the forums have told me to do but to no avail.... Please, please, please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
I'm new to LDAP and I'm trying to add the mmc.ldif and mail.ldif files that come with Mandriva Directory Server to my LDAP configuration, using the command :
ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=biganon,dc=com" -f schema/mmc.ldif
I then give the admin password I've set during slapd installation but get this error :
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
I have no slapd.conf file.
I'm on Debian 6.0.1, OpenLDAP 2.4.23
Thank you
For months now "DLink search" has been hijacking my search engines. I use google chrome, and I have organized my search engines in the handy dandy "manage search engines" tool about a TRILLION times. It never even says D-link is hacking my search engines. It does not show up!
I have read many posts on this forum and others saying that to fix this problem from internet explorer: Setup, internet options, yadayada, magical fairies, and you are solved, but my browser is google chrome! How am I supposed to do this from there! I do not know how to re-setup my Dlink router, which is the cause of the problem! HOW? In those posts with the magical fairies fixing it, HUNDREDS responded saying, "yep, those fairies definitely fixed it right. :)" These people were so satisfied. IT WORKED FOR THEM, WHY NOT ME. I look at it and go ":(" because it does not help me. There are no options for anything to do with this in GOOGLE chrome. PLEASE EXPLAIN and HELP. I see no "SETUP" option, no "Internet Options" button, no anything.
BTW the exact posts are these:
"Uncheck Advanced DNS in the router internet setup. This will take care of it. I had this problem with my DLink router before."
"I had this issue with my DIR-655 and unchecking the Advanced DNS setting in Setup - Internet - Manual Internet Connection Setup fixed it."
"If this is just internet explorer, you can go to Tools Internet Options or Internet Options in Control Panel.
From here, go to the advanced tab and click the Reset button."
"I would set the router's DNS to a site like OpenDNS, and I would ensure the machines are set to get their DNS settings via DHCP or set the machine's DNS setting to OpenDNS. If the router's DNS looks like it was messed with, some bad software know the default passwords for routers and could have changed it. If you don't already I would make sure the password to the router is not default or easy to guess.
I've had spyware change a machine's DNS, but the fact it is happening on all machines makes me wonder if it is the router."
"Something got into your router and changed the dns server most likely, do a hard reset of the router and then change the password to something strong. Also check for a firmware update for the router and apply it as soon as possible."
I've been testing deployment for a website with some virtual servers. I have most of my deployment steps done via kickstart file (package installation and user creation). However, for MySQL I have to:
Run mysql_secure_installation (sets up root password, deletes anonymous users, disallows root login remotely, removes test databases)
./
Then, create the website's databases and the database user.
I'm not sure if this is possible in kickstart---especially the prompts in mysql_secure_installation. Perhaps someone has some suggestions or examples?
I have a legacy app that connects to my SQL 2008 server. I'm trying to determine if the application is re-using it's connection to the SQL server or is creating new connections on a regular basis.
Using SQL Profiler I've audited for login events, but that appears to generate an event every time a SQL statement is executed even with apps that I know are maintaining their connection to SQL.
routinely I'm seeing lots of login attempts to my mail server trying out various login names starting from A to Z coming from the one IP on one day and another IP on another day. Is there any means to detect this type of activities and block accordingly? I asked Watchguard and it appears they don't support this on their XTM series. Anything else I can do other than to have a super long password?
how can I access a GRAPHICAL login screen (like on earlier Windows versions, or like VNC) instead of the Username/Password prompt via RDP?
I'm asking because we have several servers where we have no passwords but the shutdown/reboot option is given via group policy on the login screen. Thus, instead of having to go the hardware console I'd like to be able to perform reboot/shutdown actions via terminal services.

Marki
We have a production database and visual studio 2010 database project. We had to make some changes in database schema. Unfortunately we don't have previous database schema file for production database. Is there a way to export existing database schema as *.dbschema file, preferably from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (2008 R2)? This way we could run schema comparison and generate update script.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to install some CMS software (Wiccle). I was using XAMPP's MySQL but was getting a lot of errors (the same configuration works on another machine) so thought I'd install MySQL Community Edition to see if the proplem was related to the MySQL server.
When I install and run the MySQL Community Edition service, however, it only works with my XAMPP password, and contains the same tables as the XAMPP install. Is there a common local database file where the database and login info is stored?
Any help appreciated
I have created for user file named serverDesktop.ica with following content:
[ApplicationServers]
XenApp=
[XenApp]
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
Address=IP or DOMAIN NAME of the Server
ProxyType=auto
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0
Username=
Domain=
Password=
InitialProgram=
WorkDirectory=
ClientAudio=On
ScreenPercent=100
DesiredHRES=1024
DesiredVRES=768
DesiredColor=8
[WFClient]
Version=2
The above just gives the user remote desktop to the server.
The question is how do I bring up all the Apps in farm via TCP/IP. The Citrix online plugin does not allow the same access as Program Neighborhood did to farms. Please help.

I've installed SQL Express on my PC hoping to do some practice creating tables and then modifying them. I coded a webpage in Visual Studio to, basically, SELECT * from a table in the SQLEXPRESS, but I can never get the connection string to work. Please help
My connection string
"Data
Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial
Catalog=test;User
Id=xaa9-PC\xaa9;Password=abcd;"
Error Message:
Query is select * from tblCustomers
where username='johndoe' error is
Login failed for user 'xaa9-PC\xaa9'.
I just upgraded to the newest version of Ubuntu, which I run in VMware Player. After reboot I can't enter my password. The keyboard doesn't seem to work with it even though it works fine outside of VMware.
I'm trying to setup rsync to backup a remote directory to my local drive.
I cd to the directory that I want to pull the files to, then I enter:
rsync -vrtW [email protected]:~/public_html
I enter the password then it starts running. I get all the files listed, but none of them actually transfer. What am I missing?
Thanks
Our internal network folder can take up to 5 seconds to generate a thumbnail for each photo in a network folder. Usually, only 10% of thumbnails actually display; the rest are default jpg icons.
A thumbs.db file already exists inside this folder, so presumably the thumbnails have been generated before. Why do they have to be generated again?
The PC is Win7 64-bit.
The server is Windows 2003 Server SP2.
I'm using RAID-1 configuration on a PC which will be accessible by many people who are not very experienced with computers. So I'd want to restrict access to MediaShield RAID configuration utility with pops-up on every boot proposing to press F10 button.
Is there a way to hide that boot message or protect the utility with a password?
In wordpress there are some simple variables that can be set to make the configuration of a navigation proxy server trivial.
var $proxy_host = ""; // proxy host to use
var $proxy_port = ""; // proxy port to use
var $proxy_user = ""; // proxy user to use
var $proxy_pass = ""; // proxy password to use
Are there any equivalents to accomplish the same for joomla?
I've been searching on internet and couldn't find anything.

We're building a web service that will be deployed on an IIS 7.5 farm, and secured through SSL, and also requiring client certs that will be mapped to Active Directory accounts.
My understanding is that the server cert needs to be generated for a specific server. If that is the case then we will need a server cert for each server in the farm. Because the farm will be load balanced, how do we generate client certs that will work with any of the servers in the farm?
I am trying to reference my .asmx webservices in .NET but my server is not exposed to the internet. When I put on the following address I get the message mentioned below. What's the reason for not being able to see the directory? Am I missing something in my IIS configuraction? Am I missing anything in my permissions? Just as reference I have other folders with webservices and I have the same issue. When I login to the server I am doing it with my windows user and password (I am using windows authentication). It's necessary to mention that when I put the URL I am getting a popup screen to put in my userid and password but it seems that's not able to validate since keeps asking me a couple of times. Let me know if you need more information to address this issue .

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
What you can try: It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
Most likely causes: •You are not connected to the Internet. •The website is encountering problems. •There might be a typing error in the address.
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
•Internet connectivity has been lost. •The website is temporarily unavailable. •The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable. •The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain. •If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
