Are there currently any programs available for monitoring/measuring GPU temperature? Something preferably free, and for either Windows XP and Windows 7.
Thanks in advance!
Let's consider the following scenario:
In a hospital, the patients can use some some public computers which have Windows 7 and Internet access. The 'administrator' (read the responsible for the computers in the room) wishes to give to every patient a username and a password in order to use the computers. The problem is that the users can do stupid things or will install infected programs.
Do you know any software which allow the administrator to view which user had a bad behaviour?
Hi,
i was using gnome-mount to automount drives but in lucid it was removed.
So is there any alternatives in lucid except editing fstab and programs that do so?
Gnome-mount is a program which mounts disks using the same facilities as when mounting a disk as a normal user through Nautilus. There is no need to setup mountpoints or filesystems. This is particularly interesting if you want to use the automatically created mountpoints instead of manually specifying them for each disk.
Hi All,
I am using ubuntu system which uses openldap for user login authentication. For changing my login password i used "$sudo passwd" and changed it. (of course the password given is same as old one). Then onwards when i trying to run "apt" command it showing command not found. and for some other programs it showing segmentation fault. Can any one tell me why I am facing issue and how to solve this.
I'm currently revising for an exam to do with DNS/DNSSEC.
While I know DNSSEC provides various security enhancements for DNS, I would like to dive a bit deeper(for my own thirst for knowledge!) and would like to know what is still problematic security wise even after DNSSEC is employed? After all it can't have solved all programs DNS was having with regards to security, right?
Thanks
Is there a way to burn an MP3 CD when iTunes only contains (unprotected) AAC files purchased from the iTunes store?
There isn't an option directly in iTunes to convert AAC - MP3 like there is for MP3 - AAC, and having to convert the AAC files to MP3 and use an extrnal tool to burn the disk would be time-consuming. Are there any plugins for iTunes that can accomplish this? Or programs which can read an iTunes playlist, convert the tracks to MP3 "on the fly" while burning the CD?
I am always getting MSI (or setup EXEs which are basically MSI) files, and half the time they really do not need to be a setup.
Microsoft is probably one of the biggest sources - almost every time I want to download a little source code sample, it has a MSI which if you install, only usually has three files.
I would rather not do an install and add it to the add/remove programs and who knows what else (although I am sure it wouldn't be that bad) for the sake of three files!
For this reason, I always use the following command:
MSIEXEC /a <filename.msi> /qb TARGETDIR=<directory name>
Now, this works fine and I have never had problems... However, I was just browsing some articles on Technet and found the following resource about administration installs.
Apparently, MSI files can have two sequences: The AdminUISequence Table and the AdminExecuteSequence Table.
I am not so worried about the AdminUISequence Table as it states that "The installer skips the actions in this table if the user interface level is set to basic UI or no UI", and this is what the /qb switch I use does.
However, there is nothing similar written against AdminExecuteSequence Table.
I realise that many people who write MSI files simply do it for a single end user and probably do not even touch the admin install options, however, is it possible for them to set items that can affect the system and if so, is there a fail proof way of extracting?
I do already use 7-zip, however despite it being on the "supported" page, MSI support is lacking... well... completely sucks. It looses the file names and is generally useless. They have a bug which was closed with no reason/resolution over three years ago, and I opened a forum post and haven't had a reply.
I would not really want to install any additional programs if I could help it and just want peoples opinions on this.
Thanks.
edit - Should also say, I run with UAC on, and I have never ever had a elevation prompt whilst performing the MSIEXEC operation, so I am guessing I have never had a system wide change, however, I am still curious as to if it is possible... As if changes (even just to the user) are possible I would do this locally/in a VM and never on a server or place of importance!
Unity 3D is an amazing tool for quickly creating good-looking, fun games. Unfortunately, its not intended to be used for actually designing your characters or complex levels.
Blender is the general low-budget answer for this, but is difficult to understand when compared to proprietary programs, say, 3DS Max. What else is out there?
I'm running VS2K8 in Win7 64-bit. I'm logged in as admin and I'm running it as admin, but the program I'm working on fails with access denied when I call a restricted API. If run the program from Explorer with "Run as Administrator" it works.
I was under the belief that VS2K8 debugs programs with whatever rights VS2K8 itself is running with. As it stands I can't debug my application due to this and I'm at a loss as to what's going on.
I want to do
regular
automatic
backup of my vmware virtual machine (16GB big, Windows XP)
that is running
I do not have an access to ESX admin. I can ask our admin to set up something in the admin area but I do not have access for myself.
I have installed few programs that are important to me so I want to have working backup at any point of time.
Note:
I know I can copy all the files when the virtual machine is not up and running.
I have some command-line commands to execute on a Windows machine. The programs I need to run are only available on Windows.
Is there a way to easily to do something like I would do with SSH? Example of what I mean:
ssh [email protected] "remote command to execute"
...or do I have to Remote Desktop just to do this? (I'd like to run the commands programmatically from another computer rather than running them by hand.)
Does anyone know how to remove/uninstall Oracle Developer Suite 10g from Windows XP (SP3) ? It's not appearing in the "Add or Remove Programs" list and it doesn't have a built-in uninstaller. I've googled around for how to do this, and basically, everyone says to run the Oracle Universal Installer shipped with every Oracle product. I've tried to run it from the Oracle Developer Suite 10g installation kit, but it crashes. Anyone got any ideas?
If I install a package manager such as Macports, Fink or Homebrew, how does it affect the startup and running of my system?
It seems like the answer should be "Not at all when you're not using them" but I'm worried that they will break other software (like Mono) or run background processes. Is my fear totally misplaced? Are they just programs like any others?
They sure seem to put their footprint around the OS in quite a few places.
I have an ASUS notebook with dual AMD/ATI graphic cards.
Before I've been able to switch individual programs in the Vision Control Center from high performance to energy saving and the other way around. But today I updated the drivers using the AMD Mobility to version 12.10, and now every time I try to configure switchable graphics it either shuts down or does not come up at all.
I have a new menu item called Global Switchable Graphics settings though. Any thoughts on this?
I have installed Postgres 9.1.4 on an Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 64-bit from here http://www.openscg.com/se/postgresql/packages.jsp, but right after installing many commands (programs) are throwing these following warnings in different combinations:
/opt/postgres/9.1/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available
/opt/postgres/9.1/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version information available
/opt/postgres/9.1/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available
Though this is not restricting anything, this is often getting very annoying. Is there a way to get rid of this without uninstalling Postgres?
On Windows XP, you could go to Folder Options - File Types, select PNG, create a new action, such as this
Action: Crush
Application: "F:\Programs\PNGCrush\crush.bat" "%1"
So you can right click on a .png file and select Crush.
How do you do this on Windows 7? I assume through regedit or .reg file, but how?
EDIT: Thank you for all your replies... but I'd like to avoid "Open With" or 3rd party program if possible.
On my debian-linux system, with a core i7 920 , each time I resume after the command "pm-suspend" (suspend to RAM), mutlithreading capabilities almost disappear. More specifically, two distinct programs can use 2 distinct cores at full rate, but a single program is limited to only one core (for one instance of a multithreaded program as well as multiple instances of a monothreaded program, e.g. "make -j 4" for gcc). So I end up rebooting the system. Any help appreciated!
I just ordered a new Dell 2209WA. Reviews seem to indicate it doesn't have any known quality control problems, but I read in general about LCD's and how people check for dead pixels, even unsticking them, and use burn-in programs.
So any recommendations or links on what I should do when I first receive the LCD?
For some reason Windows 7's checkdisk freezes and doesn't move its progress bar forward for over an hour, while the disk is still supposedly active.
Now it's possible that if I left it overnight it would finally figure out how to progress, but are there any other programs with similar functionality I could use instead?
I installed "XP Mode" in Windows 7 (which uses Windows Virtual PC to host XP). I have now discovered that VirtualBox, which I have installed on the same Windows 7 machine, refuses to run at the same time as Windows Virtual PC (it gives me an error about not running multiple visualization programs).
Is there any way I can convert the "XP Mode" image so that it will run inside VirtualBox instead of Windows Virtual PC? That way I will be able to run XP as well as other VM's at the same time.
I have a keyboard with some types of extra keys, such as multimedia (play, pause, stop ,..), turn off, and etc.
some times it's annoying with a "exit button" just right beside arrows that accidentally presses, and programs gonna close, and some other similar problems.
I'm wondering is there any solution to disable, or change the functionality of these types of keyboard keys in Windows (win7)?
Cheers
There are some programs which can display used disk space using a treemap, such as WinDirStat for Windows and KDirStat for KDE/Linux:
I'm looking for something similar, but for a headless Linux box.
Alternatively, what are other good ways to visualize used disk space with just SSH access?

Some time ago I found that pretty ubuntu notifications are available as a package notify-osd in ArchLinux. I installed and tested it. The question is how to enable notifications running by default in ubuntu (volume up/dpwn, backlight, some programs notifications, etc)?
I'm using XMonad WM instead of desktop environment.
