 | Your post is lacking a few details. - what kind of monitor -- LCD or CRT? Better yet, include the model# of the monitor, so someone can look up what kind of cable and hardware (VGA, HDMI etc) the display-adapter card (or on-motherboard circuittry) drives the monitor with. - which …  |
 | I suggest you give SimplyMEPIS ([url]http://www.mepis.org[/url]) a try. |
 | So... You're saying that we'll all drown in that sea of overflowing bits?  |
| | You didn't say what switch hardware you're using. Some broadband routers have an overheating problem which looks like what you're describing: the router actually crashes from overheating. You might try clearing the space around the switch and around its power supply to ensure that both devices have good enough ventilation …  |
| | No source address? No -- even a broadcast address is an address. A different source address? Yes. That's packet-spoofing, something that's used to cause trouble (a 'smurf' packetstorm, for instance; google "Smurf Attack"). You can play with that over your own LAN, but *don't* let it out onto the Internet. |
| | Try swapping back to the older RAM, if you still have it. If the BIOS can't find any healthy RAM to uncompress in, I'd expect that it'll sit there doing exactly nothing, maybe not even a beep code. The other possibility is that you jarrred the heatsinking loose on the … |
| | Re: beginner to unix You're probably already doing this, but I'll mention it to make sure. Once you have a general idea of what command you might use, "man <command>" brings up a manual-page on that command. "man grep", for example, brings up a succinct briefing on the options and syntax of the grep … |
| | Re: Neeed helpppppp Well, this is serenditious. Just today, I was reading a blog ([url]http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2009/05/acer-tells-kids-charity-pay-up-or-shut.html[/url]) where one of the commenters provided this link ([url]http://www.pwcrack.com/bios.shtml[/url]) to a list of BIOS admin/backdoor passwords. Hope this helps. |
| | Seriously, making SMB shares visible to the Internet is not a good idea. The security in that protocol is inadequate. If having the SMB-connected users' data trashed just-because isn't worrisome, having the other users' data trashed, and having your server used to store the kinds of things people don't want … |
| | [QUOTE=redmaverick;873212] [code]print ( "fred" gt "harvey" );[/code] what does this print. How can we compare strings. If it was single characters, we can base our comparisons using ASCII.[/QUOTE] Quoting from the Camel book (Perl Programming, 2nd ed, p.87) on relational operators gt, ge, lt, le: [quote] These operators return 1 …  |
| | I keep etherape running in one KDE desktop. If I'm not doing anything else with that computer, I switch to that desktop to monitor overall traffic. Occasionally I run driftnet, which shows the graphic images being transferred through my LAN (I have children; you betcha I monitor what kinds of … |
| | Your post is very short on details. What OSes are the machines running? What speed is the network, cabled how? Hubs or switches? What's the network topology? What's the Internet gateway -- what kind of box? I'm assuming your network is modern enough not to be running 10base2 -- thin … |
| | The page-scraping is something that Perl excels at. That part, you'll probably code from scratch, as it depends on the structure of the page you're scraping. Start out by dumping your results into plain text, or a flatfile database, until you're getting your data reliably; you'll save time by not …  |
| | Re: useradd question Since the code-as-presented doesn't catch and test the return-value of the system() command, you won't know if system() fails to find useradd, which is probably what happened. It's in /usr/sbin on my old RedHat box ("whereis useradd"). In general, the more the app you're calling is like an admin tool, … |
| | Also, just to make sure it's not malware, unplug the machine from your Internet connection and work that way normally for a few hours as a test. If the problem seems to go away, you can suspect that you've been pwned. All the virus / spyware / trojan checker companies … |
| | If it prints all the lines of the file-page in one line on the page, making a black stripe on a white page, then something's probably wrong with the linefeed stepper motor or the electronics which drive it. That's a repair-or-replace issue to take up with the Epson service center; … |
 | Also doublecheck your firewall and routing table settings. If you've been banging around that box that much, you're probably setting those by rote; read your work through once again to make sure you're both telling the machine how to connect the dots and telling it to let the dots connect. … |
| | [QUOTE=Arctic wolf;865848] I needed a 16bit(word) counter and I didn't have appropriate register for that in 89S52,so I wrote the following code in asm51 for the 89S52 microcontroller: ORG 50h counter DW #0FA0h ... DEC counter ... JZ counter,label3 ... (the "..." comes instead of large pieces of code,"label3" is … |
| | From reading "man Tk::Text" (I assume that's the widget you're using), it would appear that every other line in your unrolled array was treated as a taglist rather than character-text. (I've only ever stuffed text as single-line scalars into a Text widget, but I went looking for what could be … |
| | This very topic is discussed in depth in chapter 8 of "Perl for System Administration" from O'Reilly. |
| | Your code did what it was supposed to do, but it wasn't what you meant. Your first system() instruction spawned a shell, which then executed your change-directory instruction. Then that shell ended. Your perl code, though, stayed where it was. Thus, when the second system() instruction spawned a shell, it … |
| | Re: Internet probs If you're on dialup, most ISPs use an activity timer: if there's no Internet traffic coming to or going from your machine for, say, 15 minutes, they drop the connection. Something as simple as having your mail-client automatically check for new mail every 5 minutes will keep that connection open, … |
| | Re: Keystroke issue The delay-before-repeating and the delay-between-repeats have been controllable values since the PC-AT (where it was set by the BIOS). I run MEPIS Linux, not Mint, and thus KDE rather than Gnome, but there should be a control applet, part of a control center, where you can adjust the keyboard's "TypeMatic" … |
 | Looks like a GRUB error message to me. Not having the GRUB docs on hand at the moment, I'd hazard a guess that, for your box, whatever the "rootdelay=" value is set as default, it's not enough. I'd go looking in the online docs for GRUB to see what the … |
The End.
