I've lost the source code for a very old application that connects to a MS SQL-server for some SQL queries. Since the login is hard-coded in the application I can't change the username/password on the server.
One day the password will probably be known to the users and we surely need to change it. But how?
One idea is to only allow the old…
I have a RAID-5 array of 4x1TB hard disks with one lvm2 partition on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS. One of the disks has failed. I have re-assembled the array without this failed disk but now mdadm --examine claims the array has no superblock and fdisk says it has no partition table. What can I do to recover the data?
# mdadm -D /dev/md0…
Yesterday I booted my XP system, and as I looked up a minute later I saw the light blue screen and tail-end of that pre-boot diskcheck Windows sometimes does if it finds an error (or was previously told to run a diskcheck drung the next boot). I didn't worry about it at the moment...
But then I looked at my "scratch" disk, which…
HI All,
I have two identical seagate 7200.9 500Gb drives confiured as a RAID 0 spanned disk in windows.
One of the drives has lost power and wont spin up at all.
I know this normally means death for the data on both drives but i have a cunning plan..
DISK 1 - NO POWER RAID 0 DISK
DISK 2 - FULLY FUNCTIONAL RAID 0 DISK
DISK 3 -…
I'm working on reconstructing my Cisco lab for training/educational purposes and I found that the actual terminal server I have is dead. I have a couple of 8-port PCI serial cards which would be more than ample for my lab, but I don't want to leave my personal computer running to be able to access the console ports. Ideally I…
Perhaps this is a multipart question, but I deal with a lot of calendars in my life, and want to know if there is some way to sync them all together, and maintain appropriate privacy.
So I have a family calendar that my ex and I maintain for kid events, and I have a personal calendar for my own life, and I have an Outlook work…
Suppose I have a 10BASE-T device, but everything else on my network is 100BASE-T or faster. When I attach the 10Mbit device, one of two things could happen:
It could be passed through as 10BASE-T, making whatever it's connected to slow down to 10BASE-T, or
It could be converted to a higher speed.
I'm looking for all the…
I've been banging against this for a few days. Keep getting this unauthorized error when trying to install SQL 2008 R2 on a Windows 7 machine. I've changed permissions on the key, does not fix... Created an admin user, gave specific permissions on that key, does not fix... Disabled all firewalls, installed from a local…
Hello, I've been using groff to make ps files for printing with the -man flag. If I want to convert anything else such as a header file or just the output from ls -l or other program the line breaks are ignored, producing a mess. How can I get groff to see and respect the line breaks in use in the shell?
I have no problem instantiating multiple instances of unicorn on different unix sockets and ports. Works fine if I do url:port.
My problem comes in correctly formatting nginx.conf to allow multipe upstream conditions.
Whatever i do does not seem to work. One instance is fine works fine. Multiple gives me a …
I have a Flip UltraHD, and I'd like to find alternatives to the included FlipShare software. I want to download videos from the Flip hardware and remove videos from the Flip's memory. A Mac version would be great, but not essential.
I need to setup a local Ubuntu mirror so the whole network doesn't need to hit remote servers in order to update and install new packages. Following a brief tutorial found here, I managed to get a server up and running that correctly mirrors packages from the main and restricted categories. However, when I call…
I've installed windows server 2008 as a VM for the developers here to work on. Installed SQL Server 2008 as well as IIS7.
I am not quite sure why, I can remote into that machine using the name I gave to it (winserverdev) but the guys that are supposed to use the bloody thing can't.
One very interesting thing…
I'm installing 9.04 on an HTPC, so I will often VNC in to work on it from my laptop.
After the initial install, I updated everything, and it all went fine. I was able to VNC using Ubuntu's built-in "Remote Desktop" with no problems.
I then installed the 180.xx restricted nvidia drivers and rebooted.…
In the context of init scripts, according to the LSB specification, "Each conforming init script shall execute the commands in the file /lib/lsb/init-function", which then defines a couple of functions to be used when using daemons. One of those functions is start_daemon, which obviously "runs the…
I need to fill an excel column with a sequential series, in this case from -500 to 1000. I've got a macro to do it, but it takes a lot of lines for something that seems like it should be a single function [something like FillRange(A2:A1502, -500, 1000, 1)]. But if that function exists, I can't…
A couple of computers, both Win7-64 can connect to shares on a NAS server, at least most of the time. At random intervals, these Win7-64 computers cannot access some shares but can access others on the same NAS. When access is denied, a dialog box appears saying "\\myServer\MyShare02 not…
I'm just starting out as an independant developer, mostly Unix stuff with some Windows thrown in occasionally. I've been running two machines, a linux and a windows dev machine.
Long story short, we had a bad storm come through last week and I unplugged one machine, forgot to unplug…

My company uses an internal management software for storing products. They want to transpose all the products in a MySql database so they can do available their products on the company website.
Notice: they will continue to use their own internal software. This software can…
When i right click an email in Outlook 2007, it always defaults or opens to be saved in one particular folder. It's always the same folder. Actually a subfolder in a folder. It never used to do this. It would always default to the last folder that I had saved in before . Does…
My first managed GigE switch, the Linksys SRW2008, was a dream, until it started randomly chattering on various ports. That started while I was on the road all the time, which made it take forever to diagnose, but that's a different problem. When I finally determined that the…
I am trying to create a demo for a class of mine and I want to configure "fake" domain names on my laptop.
A previous question "Can I specify a port in an entry in my /etc/hosts on OS X?" contained an answer indicating that to do it you must use /etc/hosts plus changes to…
