Help Configuring Grub for Windows 7 + Arch + Another Linux Distro

I have been running Arch on my computer for a few months now and love it and use it as my main OS. However, I do like to try other linux distributions from time to time, just to see what they're about.
My PC has one hard drive and is partitioned like this:
sda1 = NTFS Windows 7 Loader
sda2 = NTFS Windows 7
sda3 = ext4 Slackware
sda4 = ext4 Arch
Note the entry for Slackware. So this morning I decided I wanted to try Slackware. sda3 originally had Ubuntu on it. So I used gParted to format sda3 and I labeled it Slackware. I then went through the Slackware installer and installed Slackware successfully except for one issue - it reported that it could not modify the boot loader. It otherwise reported that the install was successful.
So I rebooted and got the same Grub menu options as I had before the Slackware install attempt, meaning that Ubuntu was still listed as sda3. I tried selecting that and Slack would not load (sorry - I forget the exact error).
I'm pretty sure that Slackware is installed in sda3 and it is just a matter of configuring Grub to recognize it, though I could be wrong. Can anyone provide guidance as to how to solve this problem?

If you want Grub to recognize your Slackware install
-install os-prober
-use grub-mkconfig to generate a new grub.cfg

I installed windows 7 on Basecamp but I can't figure out how to configure it to work wirelessly with my airport base station. If this helps I'm using an AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x93) card that came with the MBP.
I know very little about windows so please explain simply if possible.

HT202577 Is the apple configurator available for Windows in order to push profiles to apple TVs?

We currently have a windows environment at work and use 802.1x authentication and have some 1st generation apple TVs. We would like to get them on our wireless but are having issues. I would like to push profiles to these apple TVs to see if I can get them on but I am not going to buy a Mac to do it.
Is the apple configurator available for Windows or even ubuntu?

Hello,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Apple Configurator requires both Mac OS X, and the most up to date version of iTunes, and can only be installed from the Mac App Store.

Updating to windows 10 fails on the "Configuring update for Windows 10" screen

Hi, I have a problem with the Windows 10 update on my Lenovo Miix 3 (8") tablet. Whenever the update succesfully downloads, runs the preparing stage for quite a bit, than prompts me to start the upgrade (in the windows 10 update app). When I click it initiates a restart and starts the "Configuring update for Windows 10" screen, but stays on 0% for a minute, than reboots the original system, and the update does not continue. As I log back in the Windows Update window pops up and after a few seconds prompts me to download windows 10 (again). I have already installed a windows 10 in a similar manner on a PC without any hickups. For me it looks like for whatever reason the update fails in the configuring stage, right before reboot. Anyone met this before and maybe have some solution, or should I just try it with a bootable pendrive?

I have same model and sadly, the same problem. It seems to me that the reboot interupts the install and when you sign in again it nulifies the install needing you to start again. On my laptop the reboots went back into the install without needing a login. Hopefully if enough people have same problem a remedy will be found.

Help configuring PulseAudio for 2.1 on laptop [SOLVED]

Hello
I've been trying to figure out how to properly configure PulseAudio for my laptop for the past couple of nights, but haven't had much luck. I'm may be misunderstanding my laptop's audo setup correctly. Seeing stuff like True 5.1, Dobly Home Theater, and Virtual SurroundSound confused me, but right now I think 5.1 is only for HDMI output (which I don't use). My laptop has a so-called subwoofer and in alsamixer I have controls for front and lfe.
By default, pulseaudio chooses stereo, which sounds fine for anything that stereo or mono, but if I play a DVD in VLC I can barely hear voices and but hear parts of music and background sounds.
Also, for some reason if I run speaker-test -c 2 -t wav. Front-left is loud and somewhat distorted while Front-right is really soft. Yet it still sounds fine (to me) when listening to non-surround content.
Everything worked perfectly before pulseaudio was pulled in.
I tried following this post on manually loading the alsa sources and sink modules, but it didn't work.
Running pulseaudio in verbose mode showed that hw:0 doesn't support 3 channels and then defaults to stereo.
default-sample-channels = 3
default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,lfe
I also just tried the above in daemon.conf just to see what would happen but, it ignored it...
What am I doing wrong? Am I going about this the wrong way?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Update.
I got vlc to work right. Yay!
I deleted my .vlc directory
Then, manually set the output to alsa (and set Device to Default) which then ungrayed the Audio > Audio Device menu to select Stereo
edit:
I noticed I loose audio in VLC if I pause or seek around too much... Work around for now is to disable and reenable the audio.
looking with pavucontol vlc is still there, it just doesn't do anything.
anyway, this new problem is probably for a different thread

Satelitte A110-180 - Update Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

Hello,
I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop Satelitte A110-180
* AHCI for SATA
* Disable IDE
But there are no such options.
So I thought maybe I have to update my bios.
I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NOT Windows vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.
Wich one I have to download, or is there an other option to change the settings?
Thank you!
Bart

Hi
Satellite A110 does not support such options (SATA AHCI).
The BIOS update will not help you!
Linux is not supported and therefore you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!
The both BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
Therefore if you are using OS other as Vista then you should take the OS independent BIOS update!
But like mentioned above; both options will not appear after BIOS update!

Help with Quicktime for Windows 7 64-bit

I am having a problem with the latest version of Quicktime for Windows. When I launch Quicktime and then 'click' on any icon for download I can see the sentence, "Connecting to iTunes" and then I am redirected to download iTunes... Problem is that I already have iTunes.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and up to date.
iTunes version 11.1.3.8
Quicktime version 7.74.80.86
I Unibstalled both products, using the guide provided from Apple. I, then downloaded and installed iTunes first, then I downloaded Quicktime and installed it. I had the same issue. Next, I went to Control Panel/ "programs and Features, used the "change" option and clicked "repair". I did this for both iTunes and Quicktime. They ran fine. No error messages, nothing in event logs, no trace of an install log to try to diagnose this myself. Does anyone have this problem, or can anyone help me to start the diagnosis necessary to solve this?
Second issue came to light after all of the steps I performed; Before, I would conect my iPhone to a USB port and iTunes would launch automatically. Now, it does not. I see my 4s in devices and I see a normal state using device manager. So, I went to "Default Programs" and selected my 4s and the dropdown window no longer has an option for iTunes. However, when I go to choose a default program for audeo, etc. the dropdown mwnu has an option for iTunes.
Thanks for reading and I would like some help.

I found the problem and the solution. In Internet Explorer ver 11 / manage plugin's, make sure that the Apple plugin's are enabled. My setings were incorrect, the plugin ws siabled. Enabled it and all is well!

Need Help with safari for Windows 8

i am stuck with the need to have a pc due to a proprietary business software... I am a mac user and prefer to use safari... i just had to by a new pc and tried to download safari for windows 8.1 but cannot find it... any help out there?

Apple hasn't supported Safari for Windows in quite a while (and even when they did, you wouldn't want it - total crap). IE 11 actually isn't bad, you can also try Chrome.

Iphone configuration utility for Windows XP doesn't work.

Getting message when I try to launch Iphone Configuration utility on WIndows XP Sp3 machine - IPCU.exe Procedure entry point not found.
The procedure entry point sqllite23_clear_bindings could not be located in the dll library sqlite3.dll.
Say ok to that and get also a message that Iphone configuration utility failed to locate Apple Mobile device support . Please reinstall, you can download Iphone configuration utility from http://blah blah blah.
I already tried 3.4 and that didn't work. Back rev'd to 3.3 and same error. Running Itunes 10.5 and IOS 5.0 on phone. Any ideas?
Getting ready to deploy about 25 of these and using MS Exchange 2007 as email and active sync. I was hoping to use the utility to help roll out security settings and such.

we noticed the exact same thing. We used IPCU 3.4 and the new feature of setting WiFi proxy which we are very interested in. From Windows, after installing the profile, there was no proxy info on the device UI. From the Mac, the proxy info is there and can be seen from the device UI but it does not work. These proxy settings, even though we can see them through the device UI, do not "stick". They have no effect. HTTP traffic still does not go through the proxy.
Using the Mac is fine as long as we can make the proxy settings "stick", otherwise we have to ask our users again to do them manually. Has anybody found a workaround or something?

"...have tried all different sizes with no luck" tells us nothing about what size you tried. If indeed you tried all different sizes then you don't have enough space. What size did you try? What happens when you try? What error messages do you get?

Need Help Installing Quicktime For Windows

I bought Quicktime Pro for Windows and want to install it. When I reach the permissions dialogue box in Windows 7 to grant permission to install the software my mouse freezes and I can't move it to select "Yes" and proceed. Any thoughts on a way around this issue?
Thanks,
Bob Z.

i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below."
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Need help configuring Oracle for admission control&analysis(diploma thesis)

Hi, board team!
I encountered your site by searching for professional Oracle-Boards.
The threads I found on this site are all very helpful and very professional!
Sorry, for my bad english. I will try to explain everything in a very detailed way, so that you will hopefully know what i mean.
But let me explain what's my problem.
I am a student and now I am writing my diploma thesis (Analysis of Capacity mechanism in Oracle) and I have to set up an Oracle 10g Database. I managed to install Oracle using the Universal Installer. In my opinion it's a very helpful tool!
But I have difficulties configuring the Database.
The Database has to determine comparable results. I generate 3 different types of users. Each user has its own characterisations (IO and CPU consumption). The consumption for each user is always the same! (When a certain user connects to a databse the transactions/queries will be always the same).
To determine this Resource-Consumption I programmed an infinite loop (written in PL/SQL) -> infinite and equal queries.
Unfortunately the results are not comparable. The longer the loop is running the more different the results are. The results are not significant.
I think this is because of the Redo-Log-Buffers, which grow with every Transaction. (I'm sorry for wrong estimates, but I'm just a newbie with Oracle and database-systems).
After that I tried to shut down the databse after EACH measurement and finally restart the database. Now the results were all about the same.
Are there any solutions to make it more efficient?
What would you do?
After the measurements, I will write them into a Table (for each user: IO- and CPU-Consumption).
If one of the three users connects to the databse again, there will be an analysis algorithm, which queries this table and collects the measured values and the actual system-utilization (V_$-table). Therefore i will write a small program in PL/SQL. The analysis-Function is a "Black-box". I just use the functionality and submit User-consumptions and system-utilization. The function returns a value (0 or 1; 0=deny, 1=allow).
I thought to implement my small-program with the Trigger-functionality or VPD. The PL/SQL-procedure will be called after a user logged on to the database. The significant values will be queried and submitted to the "black-box" (programmed in java). The submission to this "black-box" should by implemented with Java RMI or Java Beans.
Are there any better possibilities?
Thanks for your support!
Now i will install Windows 2003 Server and Oracle 10g r2
Best regards,
mailya
