Need help figuring out why multiple X servers screws up keyboard

This is a bit tricky to explain so I hope I can be clear enough.
Normally when running under X the key sequences like ALT-F1 or CTRL-ALT-DEL are trapped by the X server. This forces you to use CTRL-ALT-F1 and CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't usually do anything unless you set it up in your window manager or whatever.
I'm running multiple X servers on my machine, one on the default VT7 and another on VT8 (both using the same keyboard, mouse, and video cards). The problem is when I start the second X server the first one stops trapping those special sequences. In other words, if I press ALT-F1 in the first X server it actually changes to VT1 or if I press CTRL-ALT-DEL it shutdown/reboots the machine. The second X server works like normal and traps those sequences.
Anyone know what's going on? It is some sort of problem with sharing the keyboard between two X servers? I used to run this configuration years ago and never had a problem.

Pressing Alt-Sysreq-R ("raw" keyboard mode magic key) seems to do the same thing. Is there some way to reset the keyboard back to normal after doing that? Without restarting X.

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

I need help figuring out why my computer is running so slowly

My computer suddenly decided to run incredibly slow to the point where it struggles to open and run any programs aside from web browsers. It's gotten so bad I've had to force quit most if not all of my programs that I've tried to run. It's been running slower than usual for a little while now but not noticeably so. After I installed photoshop cs6 is when I noticed it began running REALLY slow. I've since then uninstalled photoshop completely but my computer is still running really slow. I've no idea why it's so slow I've tried restarting and rebooting my computer to no avail. Below is my EtreCheck specs and whatnot. Please help me

Some of the issues : '''1'''. Page loads blank showing web address in tab. Try reloading usually with no results.(problem have the most!) '''2'''. Message appears "problem loading page, server not found" (diff times & diff websites). '''3.''' Pg with msg "oops link broke, DNS error, server not found" then lists suggested links to sites for fix though all links connect to site IGEARED.COM. (new issue) I don't know what to do please help me identify and fix my issue(s) in english, kind of a newbie : ). thx

Try this.
Type in the address bar about:config.
Accept the warning.
In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type network.http.max-connections. Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
Close that page. Restart the browser.

I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days. How to I adjust the mail settings?

I think it must be an IMAP account then, & in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced>Keep copies for Offline viewing:>Don't keep copies, then on the Server, or maybe it's just this one itself, but on the Server you have a setting to remove eMails after 30 days.
If it's a POP account we'd have to investigate that... but you didn't say so I'm guessing here.

Enable the Sort Artist, Album Artist and Sort Album Artist columns so you can see what is going on. Album Artist normally takes precedence over Artist, with the Sort fields further controlling the order.

I need some help figuring out why parts of my form don't work

I have built a couple forms to use with my work, the first 1 is a write up sheet that I fill out while on a field job. When complete, I have an insert button that inserts times, dates customer info and employee info into a MYSQL database that is pertinent to the second form which is a standard type timecard. It is with the timecard form that I am having problems. On the timecard form I have a radio button list with seven buttons (1 for each "start/stop" row of the timecard) when I click a button it makes a subform on the second page visible that allows me to insert the data from my database into the start/stop field of the timecard. I used the action builder to make these subforms visable and invisible and this all works except for 1. Also one of the subforms won't insert the data. I can't for the life of me figure out why, I have gone over both problems and don't see anything to cause it. I was hoping that I could upload my form and database somewhere and have somebody look it over, maybe I have overlooked something but at this point I have studied the problems for 3 days and haven't figured either out. any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I need help figuring out how to Link Data from one table in Sharepoint to another table in Sharepoint and make it dynamic

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a project that uses SharePoint 2010 for repository and we have multiple tables that we are using.
One table is a list of the various projects we are working on (workstreams)
The other is a table with various notes and such, to include meeting notes for the various projects.
Currently we are just copying the shortcut from the meeting notes table and adding it in as a link in the workstreams status table.
I need to find out if there is some sort of way to make this process dynamic so that when a new note is added for, lets say workstream #1 in the notes table, it will automatically propogate into the notes link section for workstream #1.
Is this even possible??
And if so how would I do it
I haven't done much with modifying SharePoint in several years, and would Truly appreciate any and all help with this.
Thanks in advance
IKE

Hi IKE,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a link in the workstreams list linked to the associated item of the notes list.
Assuming the workstreams list has Title column and another column called “Note” used to linked to notes list, and the notes list has Title column and another column used to store note.
Then you can create a workflow on the notes list with SharePoint Designer 2010, and in the workflow, using “Update ListItem” action. And in the workflow Start Options, select “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.
For the workflow action, you can set as the screenshot:
For the string in the String Builder, you need to open an item of notes list, then copy the URL of the display form and paste here, the URL will look something like this:
http://sp/Lists/notes/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2FLists%2Fnotes%2FAllItems%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0100300025278693CE49A5E3A394B23AD9E1&IsDlg=1
Now, you need to replace the ID of the item using [%Current Item:ID%], for example in the above link, delete the number 1 and add [%Current Item:ID%].

I need help figuring out GRUB [SOLVED]

So, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how grub's menu.lst should be configured on my system. I've scoured the internet and wiki, but I can't quite get it. Hopefully you can help me!
Here's some info:
joe@Snow-Crash:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for joe:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x1e721e72

/dev/sda3 19105 19457 2835472+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 19105 19457 2835441 82 Linux swap / Solaris
I have HH 8.04 on my main partition [sda1], and I'm trying to put Arch on my 20gb sda2 partition. I followed the beginner's guide up to the install grub section. When it had me review menu.lst the pertinent Arch section was
"title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
initrd /kernel26.img"
Now, I was planning on just copying this bit and pasting it into HH's menu.lst (and not installing grub in arch's partition), but I thought that it didn't seem quite right. It turns out I was right, since I get an "error 15: File not found" when I choose to boot Arch.
So what should it be? This is how I understand it, in my admittedly newbie way.
Am I mistaken in that it should be "root (hd0,0)" Since the root command points to where grub is residing (and I'm using HH's grub in sda1)?
And "kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2" Since I need to designate that the kernel is on a different partition than (hd0,0), and my Arch partition is sda2?
and as far as I can tell it should be "initrd (hd0,1)/kernel26.img" since it's on a different partition.
I know I'm doing something wrong here, since I still get the same "file not found" error message. Can someone point out the error in my ways?
PS: Since I was having trouble with this I decided to try to to install GRUB in sda2 and use chainloader to point to it from HH's menu.lst. But when I tried to install grub via my Arch cd it gave me a generic "unable to install Grub" message. So I'm up a creek!
I hope you guys can help me out! Thanks.

Welcome Joe_Arch,
You have to set the root to the partition that contains the "OS image" (the kernel). Also, you apparently don't have a separate /boot partition, so you have to add /boot/ to the beginning of the file names.
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

Need Help figuring out security sandbox issue after changing webhost

I'm in the process of switching my webhost from 1&1 shared hosting to a dedicated IP address with a smaller company that specializes in Drupal sites and doesn't know much about flash.
1&1 is still the Registrar for my domain, but I've 'parked' YourGods.com on the Holistic servers and have 'pointed' my site to the Holistic DomainNameServers instead of the 1&1 servers.
After doing this, my Flash site (which is based on the Gaia framework) stopped working, and the Flashplayer Debugger, gave me the following errors:
Error: Failed to load policy file from xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800 by requestor from http://www.yourgods.com/bin/main.swf has failed because the server cannot be reached.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5800 halted - not permitted from http://www.yourgods.com/bin/main.swf
Someone helping me on another thread thought 127.0.0.1:5800 might mean the problem had to do with my paths and that I was trying to access something on my local computer, as opposed to being a standard cross-domain issue where one server was trying to access files on another, unrelated server.
Can someone clarify this?
I Googled 127.0.0.1:5800 and found some stuff about loops between a server and the originating computer but I'm really not sure how to put all of this together.
Is there a way (with the flash debugger or other software) to step through my actionscript code with periodic breakpoints so I can figure out what line is causing the problem?
Or a way to figure out if this is a problem between Holistic and my local computer or Holistic and the 1&1 web servers?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Josh.
I finally tracked this down last night with help from the folks at actionscript.org. I hadn't deactivated my Debugger which runs off of a desktop AIR application - so the server was trying to reach my localhost to run its trace statements. Deactivating the Debugger fixed the problem.

Need Help figuring out a percentage formula

Hi, I have a simple percentage formula that i' struggling to figure out.
I need a formula to work out what A7 is as a percentage of the figure in B4. So in other words what 54.66% of £1998.14 is. Does anyone know how to do this?
I need to use the percentage in A7 as part of the formula as the percentage is updated automatically when other values are changed.
The screenshot is below and a link to the screenshot is here in case yo can't see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ji7qdxmh4ymkby/Screen%20shot%202014-10-04%20at%2012.2 2.34.jpg?dl=0
Thanks

Need help figuring out crash report please!

Hi there,
So, lately I have been playing Diablo 3 and found out that it has been running slow (FPS wise) so I switched over my graphics card to the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT.
Everytime I run the game, randomly my computer will full on crash the sound will freeze and repeat it's self and no buttons work except a hard shut down.
Once I reboot, this is the crash report I get:

I have no idea what any of this means, but if anyone does could you please help me in figuring out what is wrong here??
Thank you so much!

Nope, it happened again about 2 minutes into playing Diablo 3, personally it feels like it is overheating, I feel as if the bottom of the Macbook is getting really hot very quickly.
Here is the updated crash report:
P.S. I have uninstalled VMWare, but it still appears in the crash report... not sure what else to do I cannot find anything about VMWare under the Computer search.

Migrating; same x230, new hard drive. Need help figuring out Lenovo driver package installation

Hi all,
I'm looking at replacing a HD on the GF's x230. I have the Windows 7-64bit migration all figured out (WET) but I was cruising around the Lenovo site and I'm clueless about how to install ALL Lenovo drivers once I have Windows installed. Can I use the SCCM as a home user? Do I just install Lenovo update once Wins 7 is complete and it will self detect whats needed? Or is there some sore of mechanism on the x230 I'm currently unaware of? I see Lenovo has a program similar to Windows Easy Transfer but they never make clear if it will back up Windows AND Lenovo apps and drivers. Would rather use WET then a Driver package from Lenovo.
Studying for my A+ cert now so I'd really like to gain experience and get this sucker migrated properly!!
Thanks in advance everyone!!

After you have your OS install complete, and Microsoft updates, you can go to Lenovo's support website. Download "system update" http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-61432#update
This is a program that will detect your system and then show you what drivers and software to install specific to your machine. Another benefit is that you can run it periodically to let it check for the latest versions of drivers and software a well.
In addition, since I have found that this software, while good, is not fool proof, you can click on the "driver matrix" below and then select your machine type and OS and it will list pretty much everything available for your particular system. I double check what system update offers with what is on the system specific drivers page to make sure I don't miss anything. Takes a little longer but you really get to see all the software and drivers out there - and usually up to date as well. Good luck!
