Follow up to recent post re. no Linux WiFi driver in Mepis 8. Get Mandriva One 2009!

Attention:
More follow up on Mandriva 2009.0 & 2009.1 & Mepis 8 re. Wlan0 working or not.
Yes, the mandriva Flash does connect via Wlan0; Mepis LiveCD does not, even with continued editing/tweeking.
I installed Mandriva 2009.1 "Spring" after partitioning my SL500 (dual boot to Viata).
All hardware works with no editing.
I do not recommend buying the Flash drive: too expensive, dinky 8GB, so mostly a "fun toy" to imnpress the
curious.
I highly recommend installing Mandriva as it is allot faster, etc. that LiveCD or Flash.
================================================================================
I've not liked Ubuntu as it is too different from Windows for destop KDE.
Mandriva One 2009 is terrific! Easy with no learning curve from Vista or Xp.
The download is free or u can buy it on CD for $7.00 from Mandriva or less elsewhere. Live CD to try it out,
which I did after giving up on Mepis 8 (which I thought was better than Mandriva).
I bought the new Mandriva 8MB USB drive with this OS installed.
Now I can boot & run Linux without partitioning the HD, which can be difficult.
I've done that on a desktop, but when u want to move onto another Linux OS,
then u may have to perform a simple "repair" to the Registry for no further
notice of the absent Linux OS.,
but what if...?
Linux transforms so fast that I prefer not to partition & install; as I may want to try another.
The Mandriva Flash 2009 costs $55.00 plus the hefty $29. shipping from Paris, Fr.
All the Vista laptop whinners will be impressed with this Linux OS, no nag updates & faster without the Lenovo huge
toolbox/ Thinkvantage suite.(more like a pickup truck loaded).
If u ask questions later, I'll try to answer, when I run the USB OS.
Best computing to you,
Jim

Just to say there ARE lots of Apps on BlackBerry World, so potential BB purchasers should not let that stop them, and some very good free ones, excellent -- BlackBerry Travel is really good, and OsmAnd maps are fabulous, big to download, but when you get it you'll be amazed. Just download a provincial or smaller map to start, because they are huge files and very detailed, but lots of trails and paths are on them... good for park trails and such.

Follow up to recent posts regarding rendering problems

I've read all posts to Berrett below but can't seem to get my "Flip Video" camcorder (uses MPEG-4AVI) video into FCE without the rendering problem. I've tried to convert in two ways. Using MPEG Streamclip I transferred my video to my desktop using the "export to DV" command. It appears on desktop with a .DV suffix I then imported into browser. After editing in the viewer and trying to insert edit in canvas I get the message " "..clip does not match sequence settings..." I then click yes to change sequence settings and the clip moves to timeline. The video plays but the audio has to be rendered.
Next, I tried converting using the export to quicktime command in Streamclip with sound uncompressed and setting to DV-NTSC. When I insert into FCE and insert edit I get the sound but the picture has to be rendered. What am I doing wrong?
I've been working on this all day and am getting very depressed. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks but I think I tried that without success. I must have a setting somewhere wrong. My audio is fine but I still have to render my video. Using Streamclip to convert to quicktime here are the setting I used in the Movie Exporter dialog box.
Compression: Apple Motion JPEG A
Sound: uncompressed
frame size 720x480 (DV-NTSC)
In FCE my easy setup is
Format: NTSC
Use: DV-NTSC
Help.

Hi:
I appreciate the advice that I got regarding drive size to purchase and use with Time machine.
The next question relates to a Lacie 500 GB external drive that has eSATA 1.5Gbits as well as Firewire 800, 400 and USB 2.0. This drive is currently available.
LAcie plans to release a drive in early February that has eSATA 3.0Gbits along with other connection types.
Its a little more expensive.
Now, the only way to use an eSATA connection with a MBP is to buy an express card adapter at....I'm guessing here....around $50-$60).
The question is whether the extra expense is justified. I plan to dedicate this drive to Time Machine Backups for the foreseeable future.
Thanks,
Michael Stryker

Adding an adapter adds one more thing to the mix that can break. After the initial back up Time Machine backups go quite quickly and I'm using firewire 400. If I were in your shoes I would opt for the proven, reliable solution.

Linux wifi driver Inspiron 13-7352

I am attempting to dualboot Ubuntu on my
New Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition Laptop
Inspiron 13 (7352, Early 2015)
The system recognizes this card as being an Intel Wireless 7265 (iwlwifi-7265), but no drivers are present. I have tried loading the
firmware: iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode
Unfortunately, when I run sudo modprobe iwlwifi, I get a couple
"DIrect firmware load failed with error -2" responses
and finally "no suitable firmware found."
Anyone else encounter this problem?

I resolved this myself:
First i downloaded and installed the firmware from here, (using another machine, usb stick, etc)
https://github.com/OpenELEC/iwlwifi-firmware/tree/master/firmware
Then download this file to another machine and transfer to laptop: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...-3.16-1.tar.xz
run tar -xJf backports-3.16-1.tar.xz
cd ~/backports-3.16-1
make defconfig-iwlwifi
make
sudo make install

The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST

Hi,
When trying with Postman sending a REST call to Azure Storage Queues I get:
The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST.
The code I have for creating the Authorization Header:
var accountName = "my_account";
string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["my_access_key"];
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string formattedDate = String.Format("{0:r}", dt);
var canonicalizedHeaders = "x-ms-date:" + formattedDate + "\n" + "x-ms-version:2009-09-19" + "\n" ;
var canonicalizedResource = "/my_account/myqueue/messages";
var stringToSign = String.Format("POST,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n{0}{1}", canonicalizedHeaders, canonicalizedResource);
stringToSign = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(stringToSign);
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
var signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToSign)));
var authorizationHeader = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "SharedKey {0}:{1}", accountName, signature);
return authorizationHeader;
Anyone any idea what I'm missing/doing wrong?
Additional question: do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?
Thanks.

One issue is with this line of code:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
Please use the following:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Convert.FromBase64String(key));
and that should take care of the problem.
Regarding your question, "do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?"
With your current approach, the answer is yes. What you can do is create a Shared Access Signature on the queue which will be valid for certain duration and then use that for posting messages to a queue using simple HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse.
Hope this helps.

Discussions most recently posted in dont move to the top?

Hi,
Again here to ask if anyone else is seeing this or is it just me?
The issue basicly seems to be that someone has answered to a thread they started -> I answered -> they answered. Yet the discussion doesnt come to top the first page. This thread in questions is still located at the third page.
See anything with the following picture?
The post I am referring to is the third from the bottom. All the previous discussions havent had any posts in 6 days. Yet this one has one reply from 16min ago and still lurks at the 3rd page of the Firewall Discussion section.
Also, I cant see any automatic notification email from the CSC in my work mail at the moment regarding this post.

Report on most recent posting date

Hi experts,
My report needs to show the fields profit center and its posting date.posting date should have a selection variable for the user to enter a key date.The report should show only the last posting date for every profit center before the key date.
my doubt is that the data in the infoprovider should be compared to get the last posting date. is it possible to read the data and get the recent posting date in the customer exit for the variable on posting date.
Please suggest the possible ways of doing this.

Hi Krishna,
The recent posting date for the profit centre can not be stored as a transaction data in the cube and it can not be derived in the customer exit.
You have to add a date field as the master data attribute of profit centre and populate that from the transaction cube data to get last posting date for each profit centre.
You can then show is as the nav attaribute of profit centre in the report.
Thanks,
Krishnan

I recently posted a question in the apple forums and received a response that was less than helpful. Unfortunately, due to the options available to me.

Help! my podcast will only show most 25 recent posts

I'm posting video podcasts (created with animoto) of seniors shot at our studio. The blogging program we are using to upload is set to keep all posts up with no limit or date expired. This same program shows that all posts are up. But when I get on iTunes, it only shows the most 25 recent posts. If we add more, the older ones go down. I contacted apple and they suggested this forum. Please help!!

Start Up disk problem following kernel panic-mounts but not as a boot drive

I have a problem that I can't solve.
Dual processor G4 with 3 hard drive, all of which are bootable drives with 10.4.7 installed:
A- my primary boot drive - internal SCSI drive (Adaptec PowerDomain 2930U PCI card);
B - internal hard drive that came with the G4; and
C - external Firewire hard drive
Recently, I booted into my B drive and it locked up after it went into sleep mode. On reboot, I experienced a number of kernel panic messages, prompting me to restart my computer.
PROBLEM: Since that time, I have not been able to get my A drive to once again be the Startup Disk.
Diagnostic steps that I have performed:
i. I have run and re-run Disk Warrior from a bootable CD and the A drive as well as the other 2 hard drives mount and are "repaired" by DiskWarrior.
ii. TechTools Pro shows no hardware problems and whatever glitches it has found were repaired.
iii. Disk Utilities consistently returns "Volume passed verification."
iv. Zapped the PRAM
The A drive does mount and is accessible whenever either the B drive or the C drive is the bootable drive.
System Preferences/Startup Disk lists the A drive as a candidate whenever either the B drive or the C drive is the bootable drive. However, when the A drive is selected in System Preferences, on reboot, it doesn't become the boot drive.
I have tried to restart and hold the "C" key down so that I might possibly be able to select the boot drive from A, B or C. But the C key method doesn't produce the intended result, only reverting back to the boot drive in power prior to the reboot. That occurs whether the boot drive is B or C.
At that stage, rightfully or wrongfully, since the problem persisted whether the B or C drives were the startup disk I concluded that the problem could be hardware related and not software related.
On one of the reboots following the kernel panics, a Crash Report was produced - the verbiage
which is code related and so far above my knowledge and experience that it is incomprehensible to me. I can post it separately if helpful but it won't fit in this email message due to restrictions on length of messages.
I haven't had a kernel panic following any of the last 50+ restarts that have accompanied my attempted diagnostics.
Finally, I ran the Apple Hardware Test, version 1.2.6, that came with my G4. First, I removed all peripherals except the monitor, keyboard and mouse (plugged into the keyboard), the Adaptec SCSI card, and a 3rd party FW/USB2 PCI card (OrangeLink+). I ran the Extended Test and an error code was generated during the logic board test: Error Code fire/5/2
That gave me some hope. I next removed the 3rd party FW/USB2 PCI card (OrangeLink+) and re-ran the Apple Hardware Test and no error were reported. Both the logic board and memory passed. I ran the extended test twice, each time no error.
Ah, did that solve my problem? I rebooted and I still cannot get my A drive to be the Startup Disk.
Next, I ran the Rember software (a GUI app for Memtest) and the RAM checked out as fine.
At this stage I don't have a clue. The white towel is about to be waved.
If the problem is the Adaptec SCSI card, I don't know how to test it since it obviously has to be installed to enable drive A to mount.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am the original poster on this thread.
Turns out that the culprit behind all my boot problems was the battery on my 5 year old Quicksilver G4. Replaced the battery and all is back to normal.
FWIW, for any Quicksilver owners with SCSI cards, be aware that you can create boot problems for your SCSI drive by zapping your PRAM. As part of my diagnostics I did zap the PRAM but that turned out not to be a problem.
Adaptec's site does include a workaround should you have problems after zapping the PRAM. This specifically covers the PowerDomain 29160 SCSI card/2930U card, which I have.

My turn to post a question, USB Flash drive hard lock issues

So not sure if anyone here will be able to help me. Maybe someone from GS has run into this issue, or someone with tech experience can help. The following is from my post on another forum:
This issue has really been bugging me. For the last year I've been having an issue with every version of Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7). When I insert a flash drive the system will work just fine. When I move a single large file to a flash drive it'll work fine, when I move small files or read small files from a flash drive my entire system hard locks.
Everything freezes, I hit reset, it asks if I want safe mode, then back to the desktop. There are no errors in the error logs. Reliability monitor doesn't show any related issues.
Being of a technological nature I booted into Ubuntu. Everything works perfectly. Put the drive on my hackbook, and everything worked perfectly. OS X, worked perfectly. Tried it on my girlfriend's Vista laptop, worked perfectly.
This issue happens with anything that is detected as a portable storage. It happens with my memory card reader, my flash drives (sandisk, pny, kingston and sony) as well as with my sandisk sansa and iriver mp3 players, but when I set those up as MTP devices they work perfectly.
I have enabled and disabled legacy USB support, re-installed with slipstreamed SP1, xp sp3, vista ultimate without sp1, and the most recent beta of windows 7. Every time I figured it was related to some other USB device, but it's not. Last night I reloaded Vista (without a service pack) and before I installed anything I put a flash drive in and tried transferring some files to it. Hard lock, no other USB devices plugged in, let alone installed.
Specs:
AMD Athlon 6400+
MSI K9A Platinum
2GB Corsair XMS2
9600 GSO 512MB
This is a major inconvience. Putting files on a flash drive should be the easiest thing in the world, not something that should force me into a different OS. Please help!

According to MSI's website, there are multiple ways to flash the BIOS. Here are the links to their documents on the alternatives.
How to flash the BIOS CD
How to flash the BIOS Flash Drive
How to upgrade BIOS using MSI LiveUpdate Utility
This page shows all of the BIOS updates available for download for the K9A Platinum. Probably best to go with the latest release.
I don't have any MSI products but it looks like LiveUpdate might be the easiest since it works from inside the operating system. If that will not work for you then I would use CD. They're easy to make bootable following the guide above.
Hope this helps you.

Hello there philp_69,
If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.

I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. When I try to transfer the content from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer), it would only let me transfer iTunes store purchases. How can I complete the transfer of all the content on the iPod back onto the computer?
