First, is this possible?
Second, how can I install Grub2? Would it be possible to use an Ubuntu Live CD?
Third, what Grub2 settings would be needed to achieve this?
I use Outlook 2007, and have a Hotmail/Live webmail account. Using Outlook Connector, I want them to be synced to Outlook 2007 on my Windows 7 HP machine, however when I click on the folder name (e.g. [email protected]) in the 'Navigation Pane' under all the usual folders such as 'Inbox', 'Deleted Items', etc, it just shows a blank inbox stating that there are no items to be shown.
I wanna upload a song to youtube, and put a static 1280x720 pic as the video. I'd like the format to be one of the recommended ones.
I tried Windows Movie Maker 2.6 but it only generated a 640x480 video.
I also tried Windows Live Movie Maker but it put a big black margin around my pic (and unexplicably, produced a video with a slightly lower volume).
Do you know any way to do what I need?
So I've got a Mac in the post coming to me, and will probably be doing quite a bit of development on it so I am looking for a text editor (PHP + HTML mainly).
I curently use Notepad++ on Windows and I simply cannot live without the function list plugin (It displays all functions in the current PHP file in a box on the right). Do any Mac text editors have this functionality? I am fairly sure that Notepad++ isn't available on an Apple.
Thanks!
Has anyone tried streaming media with VLC as server? I want to deploy VLC as streaming server, but my department didn't had a nice experience with VLC streaming.
My question is has anyone tried VLC streaming over LAN with as many as 200 clients? What were the precautions to be taken before going for the actual showdown? What kind of transport stream is better for a smoother live streaming?
Are any test bench I can use to convince my superiors?

Can anyone explain this? On this laptop, ustream and justin.tv don't work - just get a blank screen. But YouTube and bitgravity work fine (also flash based).
64-bit windows 7 - but I have 64-bit windows 7 on my desktop machine and everything works fine there.
Good place to test is here http://live.twit.tv/ where the bitgravity feeds work fine, but ustream and justin.tv don't.

I need to edit and create a video by this weekend and this is the only tool I know how to use,
Does anyone know where I can find the i386 centos 4.7 repos files that would normally sit in /etc/yum.repos.d. Alas, it looks like someone copied the 5.5 edition over to a 4.7 system.
I can setup a new VM, install 4.7 and extract the files from that system (but I was hoping for a faster approach.
Please let me know if you know where these files live on the net. I'm off to RPMfind to see what I can locate.
Thanks

Our site was running fine with Apache, but I am switching us over to Nginx (with php-fastcgi) to be more scalable.
Everything is working fine except our HTML gets truncated sometimes (usually on large pages).
Live server running Apache: http://bros4bros.com/index.php?action=browse_members&members_page=50 (WARNING: half naked guys!)
New server running Nginx: http://50.56.238.208/index.php?action=browse_members&members_page=50
I have tried modifying these settings with no avail:
max_execution_time
fastcgi_send_timeout
I have chat engine which is based on the Memcached variables, putting them into arrays and reading them in other end via jquery,
which works fine 95% of the times, however when the server load is high memcached (presume its the memcached) the crash and browser gets stucks up.
I dont think its jquery issue since this only happens when the server load is very high.
I need a way to monitor the memcached servers or somehow write a log file into where the fails/errors comes in...
Any idea on how i can do this ? or any idea why memcached servers fails ? I run the memcached as follows
$GLOBALS['MemCached'] = FALSE;
$GLOBALS['MemCached'] = new Memcache;
$GLOBALS['MemCached']->pconnect('localhost', 11211);

I have VirtualBox on Linux and recently the drive with the system files failed on me. I'm able to use the Live CD to view the files of the storage drive, and through this, I can copy my data files to another computer while I work on this one.
How do I load the .vdi in another computer (or in this case, the fresh install of Ubuntu)? I see many samples online of how to export it, but it assumes the host is currently working.
Thanks!
i have made a live boot usb using UnetBootIn tool for ubuntu desktop 9.10 , i have windows xp sp2 installed as primary os and i want to make a partition for ubuntu but when i try to boot it via usb , it just goes to boot menu of ubuntu , then i enter the default type for installation after that nothing happens , just the ubuntu logo showed up and just that nothing happens after that ,
i can try the simpler task also i.e.via cd install but i want to know what's not working with this usb boot method
Thnx n Advance
I asked Skype team if they have a corporate instant messenger, but they didn't give me a straight answer.
My company wants employees to send message and files to each other, just like Skype or Windows Live Messenger.
The bottom line here is: they don't want people to contact internet users. Only employees would be possible contacts.
Is there any product like this?
I think would be necessary a corporate server for this solution?
There is this file that I really want to download. The kahel os live cd
I tried downloading it with 45kbps download rate and it would take 3 hours. And the connection is intermittent. So my download was cut.
Is it possible to treat the file as your own and then put it to your own dropbox. And from there it would continue downloading.
As I boot into the Ubuntu 10.10 (or 11.04, doesn't matter) live environment or installer, it just refuses to recognise my Vertex 2. It reports the disk as ATA and not supporting smart, shows no serial number, and doesn't list the size correctly.
All fdisk tells me is Unable to read /dev/sda (it's the only storage in the PC).
I'm now running a temporary install of Windows 7 off of it, which worked like a charm, so where am I going wrong with Ubuntu...
Specs:
Asus M4N68T-M LE V2 (BIOS 0702, most recent)
OCZ Vertex 2 SSD 60 GB
Amd Athlon II X4 640
Patriot PSD34G13332 4GB DDR3 ram (two banks)
EDIT
I installed a second drive, installed Ubuntu on that and booted, it recognised the SSD just fine. I'm now trying to apt-get upgrade the live-environment. I wonder if there is any way to sort of install Ubuntu from Ubuntu (I boot into the working install on the other drive, install it on the SSD and then boot from the SSD).
EDIT2
Ok, so that doesn't work. The install detects the SSD, however, it cannot format it.
EDIT3
After a fresh boot I can read out SMART-data and even perform a read-benchmark, but if I try to format it, or do a write-bench, it'll crap out and after that it says SMART is not supported. So basically it seems I can't write to the disk, as it will stop working when I do, I will try to run repeated read-benchmarks to see if that has any effect.
EDIT4
I'm running several read benchmarks on the drive right now, they give results that are to be expected from an SSD. If the read-benches don't fail, I can use fdisk on the disk, but it is now stuck trying to re-read the partition table after issueing the 'w' command.
EDIT5
Parted Magic did recognize the drive and with hdparm -I even could tell me the drive was in a frozen state. I powercycled it (just pull out the plug from the SSD and plug it back in) and it wasn't frozen anymore. After that I could upgrade the firmware on the drive (still using Parted Magic) and format it to Ext4. After I rebooted into the Ubuntu installer, it wouldn't get recognized and hdparm didn't want to talk to it saying HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange.
EDIT6
For some reason if I enable one of the RAID controllers (the one the SSD is connected to, obviously) Ubuntu will let me format it, mount it and write to it. The installer also recognizes it. However if the raid controller is enabled but no array is defined the motherboard can't boot from it :(
I'm interested in finding a free piece of software for Windows XP & 7 that allows us to measure both incoming and outgoing internet traffic, but not traffic between users of the local network.
I live in a shared household with three others, and we're interested to see which of us is using the largest amount of our monthly internet quota. We're all happy to install the necessary software.
Any suggestions?
I am doing some development that requires some interaction with an NNTP server, however I don't want to develop against a live server for obvious reasons and am trying to get a local NNTP server setup for testing, but for the life of me I can't find any guides on setting one up in (preferably) Windows 7.
Can anyone shed some light? I've found that in IIS 6 you were able to setup an NNTP server, but I unfortunately do not have a 2003 VM at my disposal, I'm stuck with either XP or Windows 7.
Thanks
Here is the part of my current apache config that refers to cgi-bin stuff. This info was included in the default configuration in debian. Should this be removed on a live/production machine?
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
MY PROBLEM:
When I visit localhost the site does not work. It shows some text from the site but it seems the server can not locate any other files. Here is a snippet of the errors from firebug:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - localhost/css/popup.css"
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - localhost/css/style.css"
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - localhost/css/player.css"
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - localhost/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.css"
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - localhost/js/jquery.js"
It seems my server is looking for the files in the wrong places. For example, localhost/css/popup.css is actually located at localhost/app/webroot/css/popup.css.
I have my site setup on a remote server with the same exact configurations and it works perfectly fine. I am just having this issue trying to run the site on my laptop at localhost. I edited my VirtualHosts file DocumentRoot and to /home/user/public_html/site.com/public/app/webroot/ and this reduces some errors but I feel that this is wrong and sort of hacking it since I didn't use these setting on my production server which works.
The last note I want to make is that the website uses dynamic URLs. I dont know if that has anything to do with it. For example, on the production server the URLS are: site.com/#hello/12321.
HERES WHAT I AM WORKING WITH:
I have a LAMP server setup on my laptop which runs on Ubuntu 11.10.
I have enabled mod_rewrite:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Then I edited my Virtual Hosts file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/site.com/public
<Directory /home/user/public_html/site.com/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Then I restarted apache.
My website is using cakePHP. This is the directory structure of the website:
"/home/user/public_html/site.com/public" contains:
index.php app cake plugins vendors
These are my .htaccess files:
/home/user/public_html/site.com/public/app/.htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
/home/user/public_html/site.com/public/app/webroot/.htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Intellitype Pro is a nice software that helps me when I'm using my Ms keyboard. When I'm on the road using my laptop's built-in keyboard it interprets some of the keys incorrectly and reacts on them, for instance the Fn + Down Arrow opens Windows Live Messenger (in addition to lowering brightness, which is governed by Dell's driver).
I want to stop Intellitype when I'm on the road and reload it when I'm home using the external keyboard.
Note: original problem (conflict with itype) posted here.
For an experienced Windows user wanting to start experimenting with Linux, which distro provides the closest Windows experience? Assuming the use cases enumerated below:
Web browsing
Working with Office 2003/2007 documents
File indexing (desktop search)
Basic Sql Server 2005 database administration
Media playback(MP3, M4P, WMV, WMA, dvds, etc)
Windows Live instant messaging
Skype calls/video calls
Organizing millions of files
FTP/SFTP, SSH, telnet automation
If I try to copy a file onto a NTFS partition in Linux, I get a warning message Could not change permissions for <file-name>. Is there any way to suppress this message ? I can live with this message while I copy the files in terminal, but when transferring from Dolphin a modal dialog box is shown and it gets pretty irritating.
I'm using openSUSE 11.2, on KDE 4.4 RC.
I'm sitting here listening to a radio show that is being broadcast live over an internet stream, but I would like to keep bits and pieces for later-enjoyment. Is there a way I can easily record streams in real-time? I should note also (not sure if it's necessary or not) that this stream requires me to first login before listening.
