  • Disable Acer eRecovery system

    - by Joel Coehoorn
    The meat of this question is that I'm looking for a way to either require a password before using a recovery partition or "break" the recovery partition (specifically, Acer eRecovery) in a way that I can later "unbreak" only by booting normally into windows first. Here's the full details: I have a set of new Acer Veriton n260g machines in a computer lab. A lot work went into setting up this lab to work well - for example, Office 2007 and other programs needed by the students were installed, all windows updates are applied, and a default desktop is setup. All in all it's several hours work to fully set up one machine. Unfortunately, I don't currently have the ability to easily image these machines, and even if I did I would want to avoid downtime even while an image is restored. Therefore, I've taken steps to lock them down — namely DeepFreeze and a bios password to prevent booting from anywhere but the frozen hard drive. DeepFreeze is an amazing product — as long as you boot from the frozen hard drive, there is no way to actually make permanent changes to that hard drive. Anything you do is wiped after the machine restarts. It lets me give students the leeway to do what they want on lab computers without worrying about them breaking something. The problem is that even with the bios locked and set to only boot from the hard drive, these Acers still have a simple way to choose a different boot source: shut them down and put a paper click in a little hole at the top while you turn it on again. This puts them into the "Acer eRecovery" mode. This by itself is no big deal — you can still power cycle with no impact. But if you then click through the menu to reset the machine (we're now past the point of curiosity and on to intent) it will wipe the hard drive and restore it to the original state. Of course, a few students have already figured this out and reset a couple machines. That's unfortunate, but inevitable. I don't want to destroy the ability to do this entirely (which I could by repartitioning the drives to remove the recovery partition) but I would like a way to require a password first, or "break" the recovery system in a way that I can "unbreak" only if I first un-freeze the hard drive in DeepFreeze. Any ideas?

  • Old PCI Video Card and PCI-Express ATI Radeon HD 4200 Pro Living Together

    - by Adam Driscoll
    I have two video cards installed in a Dell Optiplex 745. The PCI card is from 2001 and I was hoping to be able to install it, allowing me to have 3 monitors. The Radeon is already running two itself. The problem is that when I boot the box with default BIOS settings the PCI card displays video to the single display but not the other two. In device manager I can see that both video cards are visible with drivers loaded correctly but underneath monitors I only have a single Generic PnP monitor from the VGA connection to the PCI card. If I switch the BIOS setting to force PCI-E I get the Radeon to display to the two other monitors. When I check device manager with this configuration I see that the PCI card displays an error saying the driver could not be started. Any ideas?

  • C# text creation issue

    - by Mike
    This is whats going on. I have a huge text file that is suppose to be 1 line per entry. The issue is sometimes the line is broken with a new line. I edit this entire file and wherever the file doesn't begin with ("\"A) i need to append the current line to the previous line ( replacing \n with " "). Everything I come up with keeps appending the line to a new line. Any help is appricated... CODE: public void step1a() { string begins = ("\"A"); string betaFilePath = @"C:\ext.txt"; string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(betaFilePath); foreach (string line in lines) { if (line.StartsWith(begins)) { File.AppendAllText(@"C:\xt2.txt",line); File.AppendAllText(@"C:\xt2.txt", "\n"); } else { string line2 = line.Replace(Environment.NewLine, " "); File.AppendAllText(@"C:\xt2.txt",line2); } } } Example: Orig: "\"A"Hero|apple|orange|for the fun of this "\"A"Hero|apple|mango|lots of fun always "\"A"Her|apple|fruit|no pain is the way "\"A"Hero|love|stackoverflowpeople|more fun Resulting: "\"A"Hero|apple|orange|for the fun of this "\"A"Hero|apple|mango|lots of fun always "\"A"Her|apple|fruit|no pain is the way "\"A"Hero|love|stackoverflowpeople|more fun

  • How i implement the CGContextBeginPath() functions in iphone using objective-C?

    - by Rajendra Bhole
    Hi, I want to divide the circle using CGContext and following code of function given by apple API reference library, CGContextBeginPath (context); for (k = 0; k < count; k += 2) { CGContextMoveToPoint(context, s[k].x, s[k].y); CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, s[k+1].x, s[k+1].y); } CGContextStrokePath(context); The above code i want to implement inside following code instead of C5, C6 and C7 block, (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { // circle CGContextRef contextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSetRGBFillColor(contextRef, 0, 0, 255, 0.1); CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(contextRef, 0, 0, 255, 0.5); //CGContextFillEllipseInRect(contextRef, CGRectMake(100, 100, 150, 150)); CGContextStrokeEllipseInRect(contextRef, CGRectMake(100, 100, 150, 150)); CGContextRef c5= UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSetLineWidth(c5, 2.0); CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(c5, [UIColor brownColor].CGColor); CGContextBeginPath(c5); CGContextMoveToPoint(c5, 175.0f, 175.0f); CGContextAddLineToPoint(c5, 100.0f, 175.0f); CGContextStrokePath(c5); CGContextRef c6= UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSetLineWidth(c6, 2.0); CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(c6, [UIColor blueColor].CGColor); CGContextBeginPath(c6); CGContextMoveToPoint(c6, 175.0f, 175.0f); CGContextAddLineToPoint(c6, 175.0f, 250.0f); CGContextStrokePath(c6); CGContextRef c7= UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSetLineWidth(c7, 02.0); CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(c7, [UIColor greenColor].CGColor); CGContextBeginPath(c7); CGContextMoveToPoint(c7, 175.0f, 175.0f); CGContextAddLineToPoint(c7, 175.0f, 100.0f); CGContextStrokePath(c7); } It is possible, if it is then how i should have implement?

  • Where to learn about VS debugger 'magic names'

    - by Gael Fraiteur
    If you've ever used Reflector, you probably noticed that the C# compiler generates types, methods, fields, and local variables, that deserve 'special' display by the debugger. For instance, local variables beginning with 'CS$' are not displayed to the user. There are other special naming conventions for closure types of anonymous methods, backing fields of automatic properties, and so on. My question: where to learn about these naming conventions? Does anyone know about some documentation? My objective is to make PostSharp 2.0 use the same conventions. Thank you!

  • Content-type not working in PHP

    - by Industrial
    Hi everyone, I have some issues with a PHP file that is not working properly. The Content-type does not get recieved by any browser at all. Firebug interprets the file as text/html instead of css. Here's the file : <?php header('Content-Type: text/css; charset=UTF-8'); error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); /* CSS goes on from here */ I tested to put a row with echo 'TEST'; before the header line, and was expecting to see the classic "headers already sent" error, but nothing appears! What can I do to sort this out?

  • CSS Issue in Firefox/IE

    - by bethhilson
    I'm working on a site's CSS and am running across an issue with the body margin section. If you look at this in Firefox and then IE, you can see the line isn't lined up right in Firefox, but it is in IE. (In the black header section). Here is what I have for the body tag, It's something with the margin and I can't figure it out: body { margin: -2px; padding: 0px; background: #E7E7E7 url(images/bg01.jpg) repeat-x left top; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #888888; } Thank you for any responses!

  • JMenuBar dropping down to a "custom" JPanel and "erased"

    - by Jani
    The JMenuItems of JMenuBar drops down to a JPanel added to the JFrame, but the JPanel erases the JMenuItems. Do I supposed to pause the re-drawing of the JPanel? I'm using getGraphics() on the JPanel for drawing an image, this method is called from a thread with (for example) 200 ms delay. edit: It's a (very simple) game inside the JPanel. (I've added a field "paused" to the JPanel and i've edited the paint method so it repaints the JPanel only if paused is false, however I don't know if this "solution" is good. (It's set to true when the user clicks on a menu and set to false when selects or cancels it.)

  • How do I fix my Unit Test to have global access to everything?

    - by SLC
    Usually when you add one (in Visual Basic), it pops up a message asking if you want to enable an option that lets the test access things like private methods etc. However, I am editing a solution that does not have this enabled. I'd like to enable it so my unit tests will work, but I can't find the setting. Can anyone tell me how to enable it after the project has been created?

  • Duplicate array but maintain pointer links

    - by St. John Johnson
    Suppose I have an array of nodes (objects). I need to create a duplicate of this array that I can modify without affecting the source array. But changing the nodes will affect the source nodes. Basically maintaining pointers to the objects instead of duplicating their values. // node(x, y) $array[0] = new node(15, 10); $array[1] = new node(30, -10); $array[2] = new node(-2, 49); // Some sort of copy system $array2 = $array; // Just to show modification to the array doesn't affect the source array array_pop($array2); if (count($array) == count($array2)) echo "Fail"; // Changing the node value should affect the source array $array2[0]->x = 30; if ($array2[0]->x == $array[0]->x) echo "Goal"; What would be the best way to do this?

  • Jquery Form ajaxSubmit not submitting

    - by Gazler
    Hi, I am using the JQuery Form extension to submit a form with AJAX. I have the following code: var options = { beforeSubmit: showRequest, // pre-submit callback success: showResponse, // post-submit callback // other available options: //url: url // override for form's 'action' attribute //type: 'post', // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute //dataType: null // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type) clearForm: true, // clear all form fields after successful submit //resetForm: true // reset the form after successful submit // $.ajax options can be used here too, for example: timeout: 3000 }; $('#composeForm').submit(function() { // inside event callbacks 'this' is the DOM element so we first // wrap it in a jQuery object and then invoke ajaxSubmit $(this).find(':disabled').removeAttr('disabled'); $(this).ajaxSubmit(options); // !!! Important !!! // always return false to prevent standard browser submit and page navigation return false; }); The problem is that the form doesn't appear to be submitting, or atleast the success function is not being called. If I remove the return false, then the submission works, but the page navigates away. Is there a problem in my code that could be causing this? Cheers, Gazler.

  • Learning resources for Linux filesystem, command line, and structure

    - by webworm
    Can anyone suggest some good materials for learning more about the Linux filesystem and command line? I have found myself frequently confused as to what programs go where on the Linux filesystem. I would like to learn how the various directories (var, etc, usr ...) are used and how to use the commandline more effectively. I come from the Windows development world (.NET developer) so I am very familiar with Windows system administration. However, when doing more and more work with PHP I found myself lost in the internals of Linux (specifically Ubuntu). For example I was having problems installing PEAR properly on my Ubuntu system and not understanding why it was installed where it was. All of my interactions with Linux machines is done via SSH so I would like to focus on the command line and the filesystem. Thanks for any suggestions.
