I have an ati 5770, card with vga, dvi and hdmi output. I can only get 2 out of the 3 monitors working at once, however i can change the configuation so that all monitors can be selected, but only 2 will work at once.. 2 of my monitors have dvi inputs and one has vga.
in my catyalist control center it shows all 3 monitors are there but either 2 can be selected at a time, and so the same with my windows 7. I have and adapter which i use on the 3rd monitor, hdmi-dvi adaptor and it works. also when i boot up my pc i get 2 monitors booting up and when windows starts the 3rd monitor boots but the 1st one closes. I looked at my package box and it actualy does specify ati eyefinity technology is available with this card.
why wont it work???
I have a PC with a hard drive that's partition into home directories for Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I primarily use Windows 7 and occasionally (once a week) use Ubuntu.
When I boot up my computer, I usually get taken to a boot menu that includes about 5 different options: 3 are for Ubuntu's configurations, one's for swap, and the forth is for Windows 7. Then after I select Windows 7 or Ubuntu from this menu, I get taken to another menu that again asks me for Windows 7 or Ubuntu. This time, there's only 2 options, Windows 7 and Ubuntu. [Side note: out of experience I realized most boot menus are timed and so are these.] So if I ever turn my computer on without actually sitting in front of it for a few minutes, it boots into Ubuntu.
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do so I can first get rid of the 2 boot menus. And if possible, I'm looking for help changing my boot options where I can load up Windows 7 (even with the boot menu wait of about 30 seconds).
My harddrive's partition's laid out like this:
Windows 7 (C partition)
Multimedia (D partition, I just use this for backup/non-OS stuff)
Ubuntu (home directory)
Swap
Is there any other information I need to provide?
A coleague of mine's having trouble with his new Toshiba Satellite L300 ... I tool a kook at it, and indeed it's hot as hell. I couldn't hold my hand on it for too long. He says it also has a tendency to turn itself off (WinXP 32bit running) with no forewarning. Hasn't happened to me while I was using it, but that wasn't long anyways.
The first guess was it was too dirty ... problem is it's new, came out of a package a quarter of a year ago. Kept in a clean environment (office). Looks clean. No dust in sight.
Second guess is that the fan wasn't working properly, cause indeed it has intervals of working, and non working. But when I listen to it, it sounds like normal usage.
I took a SpeedFan measurement, and it reports temp. up to 85 Celsius ... which is definitely too high.
Anyone knows what else I could do to it ?
It is under warranty and it will go to the service, but I thought if there is something we can do, as to avoid carrying it there / be without it for a week ...
This is related to this question.
I have a script (fix-permissions.sh) that fixes some file permissions:
#! /bin/bash
sudo chown -R person:group /path/
sudo chmod -R g+rw /path/
And a small c program to run this, which is setuided:
#include "sys/types.h"
#include "unistd.h"
int main(){
setuid(geteuid());
return system("/path/fix-permissions.sh");
}
Directory:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 7228 Feb 19 17:33 fix-permissions
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 112 Feb 19 13:38 fix-permissions.sh
If I do this, everything seems fine, and the permissions do get correctly fixed:
james $ sudo su someone-else
someone-else $ ./fix-permissions
but if I use strace, I get:
someone-else $ strace ./fix-permissions
/bin/bash: /path/fix-permissions.sh: Permission denied
It's interesting to note that I get the same permission denied error with an identical setup (permissions, c program), but a different script, even when not using strace. Is this some kind of heureustic magic behaviour in setuid that I'm uncovering?
How should I figure out what's going on?
System is Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, Linux 2.6.32.26-kvm-i386-20101122 #1 SMP
We just got our computer back from having moved and when I tried to hook our speaker system, the computer keeps telling me that I don't have a sound system installed. It's a Dell computer with the original surround/subwoofer system that it came with and was working fine before the move.
I tried buying a new speaker system (Logitech) to see if it would work, but still saying I have no audio device installed and it's not showing up in my device manager. I opened up the computer and unplugged the sound card, then plugged it back in, still nothing. I put the install disc from the sound card in the cd-rom, but it's saying that I have no sound device hardware in my system.
It comes to my mind that when I use any proxy server, the information will be submit to the proxy server including the username/password of any website I login. This way I risk my identity.
I've heard that there are some secure proxy server but can I found any with reasonable price, probably free? ( By the way, VPN is also considered but they are expensive for personal usage ). Even if I can find such service, how can I know that they won't exploit my information?
This is the aplication I want to run.

Having recently upgraded to Windows 8, my script to retrieve the current desktop wallpaper image has broken.
For Windows 7, How could I find out the path to the current desktop image?, this works great. However, that registry key now always contains
C:\Windows\web\wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg
What is the new registry key used for Windows 8?
I've found two possible solutions.
Firstly, this key contains what looks like a Base64 encoded path:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Wallpapers/Images/ID2
And then there is the "custom theme properties file" which also contains a "[SlideShow]" section which looks like Base64:
C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Custom.theme
I have an ASUS N76VZ laptop with 12.2 openSUSE and GeForce GT650M card. I found that KDE doesn't allow me to use OpenGL rendering. I tried to install nVidia's driver from script but once it writes the xorg.conf file I'm unable to boot desktop. I have the following errors in system log
Oct 30 08:28:13 RAYNOR kdm[2727]: X server died during startup
Oct 30 08:28:13 RAYNOR kdm[2727]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled
I noticed that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf backup file was empty, so I renamed the new xorg.conf and left none: the desktop booted!!!
How can I fix OpenGL rendering with or without driver installation?

I recently purchased a WD World Book II, a 2 TB one. I call it the "White Box". It has those 2 1TB drives, and they were in this RAID 1 config, only giving me about 1 TB. I could not delete the raid array, and I took the drives in a Linux box. But I also deleted the entire partitions of the disks, and I cannot even et the existing RAID array on this WD White Box. The drives are fine, but I cannot get them to work on the WD White Box.
My goal was to get back to a real 2 TB storage space. If I cannot get those drives back in the White Box, I can re-use them elsewhere, but this would mean a waste of the firmware and network connection. After the fact, I read that, anyway, the network performance is rather poor.
Thanks :-)
My Windows 7 almost always restarts when I keep it idle for ~20-30mins. It happened randomly before, but lately, if I leave the computer I can be sure it's gonna restart after those 30mins. It never happens when I play games or work tho, just when it's idle.
It's a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit. I had also problems while installing it, it always crashed while finalizing the install and I had to reinstall again. Eventually it installed on 3rd or 4th try after I deleted all of my partitions and added them again.
I thought it might have been a hardware problem, but temperatures seem to be okay and I have no idea how to track what might have been causing it.
Any ideas?
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on:
Gigabyte EX58-UD4P
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
6GB of DDR3 1066Mhz RAM
WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0 1TB SATA II
I have a very bad feeling it might be something with HDD and its compatibility with Windows 7 as I haven't had those problems for 1 year while I had Vista.
Currently, I am using PandoraBoy to listen to my Pandora stations. In the preferences, it allows you to set global hotkeys to control playing, like/dislike, volume, stations, etc.
What I would like to do is allow the built-in media keys on my MacBook Pro's keyboard (F7-F12: Previous, Play/Pause, Next, Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down) to control PandoraBoy like they do iTunes.
Right now, I am using Command-F(7-12) to control it, but that requires me to hold down the "fn" and command keys
Is there a way to bind these commands to the media keys without needing to function-shift them?
How do you manage the giant jungle of cables behind your PC? When you have 2 or more PCs next to each other, you wind up with this giant mess cables that's a pain in the neck to clean especially when both computers are running 24/7 and any fidgeting with the cables is likely to cause data loss and/or angry users. So far I've tried masking tape, cable ties and plain old string but none have been very effective.
The masking tape kept the cables in place, but over time they ended up leaving this awful sticky residue on the sides of the cables that just won't come off gets all over your fingers and is horrible horrible horrible. I have nightmares about that stuff.
We used cable ties and 'folded' up some of the longer cables so that they weren't any longer than they needed to be, but this meant that the position of some of our devices like the keyboard and the mouse were essentially 'fixed' until we removed the ties. The string didn't work much differently and required that we tie them properly or risk it coming loose.
I would switch to a wireless keyboard and mouse, but I don't want to have to deal with the added expense of batteries, even the rechargable ones. Plus I don't want them to die on me at a crucial moment (happened to me once while playing Firearms _<).

I know that there are people out there with home/office networks a thousand times more convoluted than mine, so
Sorry if this question exist already, I did some searches but could not find one myself.
I am looking for the best programs to copy and paste stuff in windows more easily. So let's say instead of the default copy/paste one item at a time, I could have 5 different paragraphs that could all be pasted somewhere seperately.
Hopefully this is not to confusing. Instead of bveing able to paste 1 item I would like to have a list of items that can be pasted or some similar functionality under windows.
Please help make me more productive, I frequently need to copy and paste different sets of data.
Here is a good exampl, let's say I need to be able to past my email somewhere but on another program or webpage I need to paste my home address.
I have a mysterious internet connection problem: Every 15-20 minutes, the connection will become very slow, and take 2-3 minutes for anything to load.
I've had a technician from the ISP over here to test the hardware, and everything is in pristine condition. They have no other explanation than a configuration error on my machine, a possibility I can exclude 90% because I'm experiencing the same problems with another machine.
I will have to monitor the situation now, and I would like to run a program that logs when internet connections become slow.
I thought about putting something together using at and wget. Does anybody know of some other tool for this that does this out of the box - maybe something with an adjustable request frequency, logging connection speeds etc.?
I'd like to use 2 x 4GB DDR3 1600 dimms in a motherboard capable of only DDR3 1066. The DDR3 1600 is on sale and the cost is identical to 1066 dimms. It'd be nice to have these faster sticks around should i upgrade the motherboard. I assume the RAM can under clock itself or be changed in the BIOS.
While obviously it's less than ideal situation, I don't know if there are other unintended consequences in terms of stability, performance and longevity of the board and said RAM. Am I doing any damage to the memory controller or RAM?
I've always bought RAM at the max speed specified for the motherboard and I've never gone over so I'm not sure if there any caveats to this at all.
Edit: I intend to use the RAM in pairs. I know that mixing RAM speeds is just a bad idea.
I need a way to automatically change the read/write permissions on a folder, on an Windows XP Embedded machine.
The XPE image I'm using doesn't have all of the standard Windows tools, and apparently cacls is one of those tools that it doesn't have.
If I simply type cacls into my command window, it tells me
'cacls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Is there a way for me to change file/folder permissions in Windows XPE without the CACLS command, or is there a way I can download a version of cacls.exe that will run on the XPE machine?
I'm having trouble wading through Microsoft's marketing information. Does anyone know if Windows 7 x86 to Windows 7 x64 is a valid upgrade path? I know you can't actually use the built-in "upgrade" installation path; this is more of a licensing question.
Although that may have answered my own question: is this idea even possible? Or do "upgrade" versions of Windows function only when executed from inside the OS, and not when doing fresh installs?
Thanks!
Is there any "easy" way of synchronizing my iPhoto library between, say, my iMac and my MacBook ?
My basic strategy is "modify only on the iMac, make a blind copy to the MacBook" but it's not really satisfying.
Using rsync is not really an option, since it won't synchronize the library definitions.

I was messing around with grep and put this in my .zshenv:
export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=auto"
export GREP_COLORS='mt=1;34'
I was bonking my head on the keyboard and changing GREP_COLORS around for a minute trying to figure out why the folder colors were working, but the matching text wasn't.
I was doing this:
$ grep -R -n -i -e "functionFoo\(" --include=*.cs --exclude-dir=Logs *
The line number and file names were set with the default colors, but the matching text wasn't.
After spending way too much time, I thought to do this:
$ grep -R -n -e "functionFoo\(" --include=*.cs --exclude-dir=Logs *
(I removed the -i option.) That's all it took to get the matching text to correctly show up in bold blue. This is a Cygwin on Vista setup, with rxvt running zsh.
Any idea why grep colors would break on specifying a case-insensitive match?
Update: Under cygwin 1.7, it's a little bit better - case insensitive search works correctly, but it only highlights the word that matches the expression exactly. In other words, "FunctionFoo" highlights "FunctionFoo" but not "functionFoo" and vice versa. Probably a grep issue so I'll be submitting it to that list.
