I have a ubuntu machine that is connected to my house's sound system. Is there a way I can control what it is playing remotely? I have SSH access if necessary.
I typically use Rhythmbox to play music.
My friend created some .mov files with his mac. Now I'm trying to play them in my Windows 7 machine with Windows Media Player and I only see sound but not image. There must be an encoding issue. But how do I find out what encoder I need?
Windows 7 has the full and basic aero themes that can be changed inside personalization. Windows used to automatically disable Windows Aero (transparency) when I unplug my laptop from the mains.
I reset the theme and now it doesn't do this anymore. I can't seem to find how to enable this again. I've checked the advanced power options and control panel but turning back on this feature is eluding me. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Evernote does OCR on the images you save to it. Is there a way to get the full text equivalent for an image in Evernote, or is the OCR only for searching?
Hello,
I tried to login into a cpanel account that hasn't been accessed for a few months and discovered that my login details no longer worked. When I reset the password and gained access into my domains control panel, my email password also didn't work. Upon that first attempt I was given a message reading "Brute force attempt..."
So, does cpanel keep a list of logins? or login attempts?
Thanks for any help!
I have windows 7 prof on a aspire acer one netbook.
I want to access the "Manage wireless networks" panel from
Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and Sharing Center - Manage wireless networks (on the left bar)
I click it, but it just won't open!
A friend's laptop came with "Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1)" installed in English.
But she's from a country with a right-to-left language, and she wants to be able to type in her own language from right-to-left.
Going to the control panel and adding a keyboard on her language did half of the trick. She can type in her language but on a left-to-right way.
Is it possible to enable the cursor to go on the other direction?
I've VirtualBox on a Windows 7 PC and created a virtual machine for Windows XP. Here is what I want to do:
Run VirtualBox
Power on guest OS (named "Windows XP")
Open Winword in guest OS
I want to accomplish these 3 steps at once (by using a batch file for example).
Any help would be appreciated.
In fact I've a batch file but it does not work as I wanted:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\Vboxmanage.exe" startvm "Windows XP"
TIMEOUT 30
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxmanage.exe" guestcontrol "Windows XP" execute --image "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" --username xpuser
In Emacs, if I split the frame (C-x 2), each window has a status bar. Historically, I could drag the status bar to resize them.
Unfortunately, with Emacs these days and just a few modes (for version control, line/col number, abbrevs, my programming language, etc.), pretty much the entire bar has remapped mouse-1 to something other than letting me drag the bar!
Is there any way to turn the status bar back into something I can drag, without losing all of my modes?
I'm using Input Director as a software KVM to control my laptop from my desktop, and all is almost OK with the setup. However, key-presses on the master keyboard seem to repeat very easily on the slave, and it is close to impossible to type a word on the slave without getting repeated characters. I typed the word 'repeat' on the master keyboard and my editor on the slave captured the characters 'repeeaatt'.
Both machines are Windows 7.
I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut to quickly and easily change the DPI scale on my machine.
In Windows 8.1, the desktop display DPI scale can be set via the control panel (pictured below), taking effect immediately. Alternatively, the scale can be set manually in the registry, but doing so requires that the user sign in and out or restart the machine in order to take effect (and only works to imitate the "one scaling level for all my displays" option).
How can I set the DPI scale via the command line, or otherwise programmatically?
I wonder if there is a software which can control Windows server over a browser. I know it sounds is strange however I haven't seen any and as you can do scripting with *nix system I think it could be a good one.
Functions that I am after:
User management
Printer install
msi assign
I know there are many programmes including a win server but I would like to do it only one surface.
Has anyone come a cross such a thing like this?
Hi,
Double click on an image opens the default application associated with it.
E.g. "jpg" opens with "Preview", but some times I need to open with an alternate application, e.g. photo editing software.
I don't want to change the "default" handling from "Preview" but may be with "Cmd-Enter" or "Ctrl-Enter" I want to open with another application instead of "Open With"-Select Application...
Is it possible?
Thanks.
Hi,
My Firefox 3.6.3 started displaying weird error messages when I load pretty much every page (a few per page):
---------------------------

OK

Any ideas how can I locate which plugin, add-on etc. is causing this?
I formatted a 16 GB USB Stick today so I could boot from it and that works great. The problem I have is it won't let me copy a 7GB Ghost image over to USB, it says there isn't enough space. When I look Windows shows there is 14GB available. Can anyone give me some insight into this issue?
From some networks requesting certain images on our webserver is very flakey. I've looked at tcpdumps on both sides and the server sends back part of the file and the client ACKs the TCP packet but the server never receives the ACK.

The network we are having trouble with is NATd. Is there any kind of explanation for this weirdness?
I just built a new PC the other day.
Specs...
Processor: Intel i7-930 quad core CPU
CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212
Motherboard: AsRock X58 Extreme 3
RAM/Memory: 6gb G-Skill tripple channel DDR3 memory (3 sticks of 2gb planning to get another kit to make it 12gb total soon)
Operating System Hard drive: Intel X25-M 80GB Mainstream SATA2 Solid State Drive
Video Cards: 2 XFX ATI Redeon HD 4650 cards to run 3-4 monitors
Case: Lian Li PC-B10 Midtower case
Power Supply: Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W
Operating System Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Not sure if the specs are helpful at all but I posted them just in case.
So I got everything put together and running great so far but I need some advice/ideas/help/tips.
I got the SSD drive in hopes of using it strictly for my windows 7 install along with all my other programs I install. I am then going to get another drive or 2 just for data (video,music,photos, etc).
So my plan is to just install the new data drives and then in windows 7 I will change my "My documents" "My Music" "My Video" "MY Photos" library's to be located on the data drives instead of the OS SSD drive.
I would ultimately like to install all my programs with my windows install on the SSD drive and then create an IMAGE of the drive and then 6 months down the road if things are sluggish I can just wipe the drive and restore my IMAGE with all my programs and settings in tact still.
So here are some questions now.
1)
How can I verify that TRIM is working on my new SSD?
2)
Is there anything above that I missed that I should be doing? I think I once read that there is a page file or some sort of file that windows changes a lot and that it should be moved off f an SSD an onto my data drives. DOes anyone know what I might of heard? If you do can you explain the pros and cons of doing such a thing as well as how to possibly?
3)
Any tips or advice to get the best performance from all this, I built a pretty nice system and I just want to make it stay that way as long as I can.
I would like to extract a "book cover image" from a series of CHM files, which command line tool can do that, please?
I have looked at the source of the QuickLook plug-in "quickchm1.1_source" and at the calibre command line conversion options (ebook-convert) but couldn't find anything akin to simple:
name_of_tool file_to_convert output_image
as in:
mytool routermanual.chm routermanualcoverimage.png
I have two routers(A,B).the A connect to internet with IP:192.168.1.1
The openwrt router B connect the lan of A by bridge with static IP:192.168.1.111.
I am learning to use iptables to control the devices connected to B(wlan) .
I use my phone to connect wifi of B,the phone's IP is IP:192.168.1.100.it can surf the internet normally.
I want to block the phone's IP to make the phone can not connect to internet.
refer to http://bredsaal.dk/some-small-iptables-on-openwrt-tips
iptables -A input_wan -s 192.168.1.100 --jump REJECT
iptables -A forwarding_rule -d 192.168.1.100 --jump REJECT
but it do not work.the phone still connect to internet normally.
and I tried other chain(INPUT,OUTPUT,FORWARD).so many chains confused me.
iptables -I OUTPUT -o br-lan -s 192.168.1.100 -j DROP
and it do not work again.
I'm sure that the iptables have no problem.

Thanks in advance and sorry for poor English.
I inadvertently set the Registry Editor to be the default editor for *.txt files. Now when I go to change the default, "Always use this program to open these files" is grayed out. This is the case whether I right click on the file and choose "Open with...", or start with the "Set Default Programs" control panel.
Why? How can I fix this?
I am one of those people who hate to have even one unnecessary program installed. I noticed when I downloaded and installed itunes two other components were installed and shows up in my control panel Uninstall programs screen: "Bonjour" and "Apple Mobile Device Support".
Are these two necessary for itunes to work? I never buy songs via itunes, just use the program to transfer smp3s to my ipod.
I'm looking to set our WINS servers via GPO, is that possible? We have 2 SSID which our clients can connect to (one which connects to a DHCP we control, the other to a different DHCP we don't - each with their own WINS).
We do a lot of mapping via DFS so that's why we need our wins servers.
Help?

Hi there,
I´ve got an jpeg image with text on it (badly scanned document), which is hardly readable. I have already played around with the sharpen filters, contrast, levels and the color replacement tool, with decent success. however my question is, what else can be done order to maximize the texts readablity? the picture is also somewhat noisy. Any help on this one would be greatly apreciated, since I absolutely need the images content.
