I'm thinking of quiting windows and go with linux
ubuntu is so much faster booting - and the c drive seems to struggle with vista
@beickus: I'm a Linux fan, but I have to say that Win 7 runs really nicely on my T400. Vista, not so much. Never thought I'd say something positive about a MS OS. I was forced to buy this thing with Vista on it. Grrr. Once I went to '7, I was much happier.
@warnec: Burn your Product Recovery Media before you do anything else. You may not want WinX on your machine, but the next owner might. You can make the recovery media now for the cost of a few pieces of plastic, or $$ later. Or you might want to take a walk on the dark side and give '7 a try...
@EVERYBODY: Burn your Product Recovery Media immediately on opening the box your new StinkPad came in. NOW! (and don't fidget when I'm yelling at you...)

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printingHey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,

[SOLVE] Dual Boot Windows and ArchLinux with Syslinux
Ok, i installed ArchLinux on my laptop with Windows XP (syslinux) and I cannot find get Windows to boot or mount it. I have tried to do what i can to do this but cannot. I Installed XP first like a should and something i think might be needed to know is after i created the partitions scheme (10Gb (boot partition), 50GB (XP), 80GB(was unallocated)). The installation disk formated both 2 partitions in NTFS but i installed XP on the second and Windows reported them as C and D drives. Windows being D. Thought that was bit werid thinking Windows installed the mbr on that partition. When I installed ArchLinux, it did have the boot flag set on 10GB (or C drive).
Since I installed ArchLinux, I have been unable to find a solution to mounting/booting to Windows. Installed NTFS-3G and that didn't work when i tried mount /dev/sda3 windows and i did created a folder named windows but got ...
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

Last edited by jag-ster (2014-11-27 02:12:12)Here is the partition table:
/dev/sda1 one HUGE linux /boot primary partition (assuming ext4)
/dev/sda2 "name" of the extended partition
/dev/sda3 primary Windows partition (assuming NTFS)
/dev/sda5 logical Linux root partition (assuming ext4)
/dev/sda1 to /dev/sda4 are either all primary, or three primary and one extended. After /dev/sda4 all partitions are logical. If you're still wondering why is there no /dev/sda4, it's because you have 2 primary and one extended, so /dev/sda4 is reserved for another primary partition.
Windows problem:
The /dev/sda1 which Windows named C: is Windows equivalent of linux /boot. When you told linux to place its /boot on /dev/sda1 it formated boot files of Windows. Now you have Windows OS with no kernel. In other words there is no way to boot Windows if you don't reinstall it. Actually there is a way, but you would than screw up Arch.
Mounting problem:
You can never mount extended partition, only logical (an extended partition is made of logical partitions). You want to do:
sudo mount /dev/sda3 -t NTFS-3g -o rw,uid=YourUserName /path/where/you/want/this/partition/mounted
EDIT:
Try it this way:
- Backup all your data
- Delete every partition
- Start Windows installation
- Make only one partition (c:/ for Windows)
- Let Windows make another partition
- Make one more so you could have a data partition, which does not need to be formated to reinstall Windows
- Start Arch installation
- Get to partitioning
=Partitioning=
- /dev/sda4 extended (take the rest of the drive)
- /dev/sda5 logical /boot 512MiB
- /dev/sda6 logical / 20GiB
- /dev/sda7 logical /home (the rest)
Making a separate /home partition will come in handy when reinstalling Arch (any linux distribution), or switching between distros, because it is the equivalent of D:/ in Windows. Also consider LVM.

SAP GUI 7.20 for Windows and problem with Screen Painter
Hello,
I just installed the SAP GUI 7.20 for Windows and it looks good.
But when when I start the Screen Painter for a dynpro I get the following message:
Graphical Layout Editor not available. Continue with alphanumeric editor.
And: EU_SCRP_WN32 Connection broken '..' / CPIC
The SCreen Painter is installed correctly (I can start ist manually from file system) and the RFC destination works.
Any idea?
Regards,
Ole.Hello,
I've uninstalled all SAP installations, cleaned the registry of Windows XP and deleted all folders with SAP content. Then I've installed the SAP Gui 7.20 again and it works.
And now I will update the Screen Painter with the information from the OSS-Note!
Thank's for your help!
Regards,
Ole. -
HFM in windows and HFR in Linux
Hi folks,
I heard from a senior guy that when HFM is installed on windows (11.1.2.1 - 2.3) and if HFR uses HFM as datasource, HFR must be installed on windows as well.
Have anyone heard of this or seen any document about this?
ThanksDo you mean

Perform Hamming window and FFT with Java
Hi all,
I am trying to apply Hamming window on my lengthy sound data soundSample[1000] with window length 100. Then proceed with FFT.
And i found that java does have the package for Hamming window and FFT. As below,
http://code.compartmental.net/minim/javadoc/ddf/minim/analysis/FFT.html
http://marf.sourceforge.net/api/marf/math/Algorithms.Hamming.html
But i hardly find an example that illustrate how to use the package in a java program. So no idea how should i use the method in package.
Please advise and appreciate if reference is provided.
Thank you.Hi,
I have spent sometimes to study and do the coding for FFT on audio samples.
My project is to study the FFT working by performing the FFT on audio sampled data.
After this is done, then only proceed to extract the pitch value in the audio data.
Below is the coding that i have done by referring to the provided steps:
In my main, i call this method and past the retrieved sampled sound data to this method.
public static void Analyze(int[] soundSample,float sample_rate ) {
int N = (int)sample_rate/5;
int Number_Sample = soundSample.length;
Complex[] fftBuffer = new Complex [2*N];
Complex[] fftResult = new Complex [2*N];
Complex [] lastN = new Complex [N]; // The array to save the last N sample
int delay = 0;
double delta = 2*Math.PI/(2*N);
// I have no idea how can i convert my sample array to double so that it will be in the range of [-1,+1]
while(delay <=soundSample.length){
//Extract the 2N sample for FFT analysis and convert the data to complex number.
for (int z=0; z<2*N; z++){
fftBuffer[z] = new Complex(soundSample[z+delay],0) ;
for (int i=N-1;i>=N/2; i-- ){
lastN[N-1-i] = fftBuffer;
for (int z=0; z<2*N; z++){
fftBuffer[z] = fftBuffer[z].times(0.54-0.46*Math.cos(z*delta));
fftResult = FFT1.fft(fftBuffer);
delay = 2*N + delay;
1) I was trying to perform FFT with 2N samples then keep on looping the FFT method until 2N reaches the ends of sampled data.
But the FFT that i am working with is radix 2... It doesn't work with my 2N samples... Please teach me how should i work out FFT regardless the number of sample?
2) The hamming window coefficient i m using is based on http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/signal/hamming.html . I am working on index [0:2N] ..
Is it appropriate?
3) According to your No1 steps, the acceptable frequency resolution is 5Hz. May i know what is this representing? And is it application for most of the FFT application? How can i determine the frequency resolution that i should used in my project?
Sorry for late reply as i was trying to work out the thing..
Hereby attach to your the my coding.. and hopes to have your guidance and tutorial how to extract the pitch for recording audio file with Java.
I have done the pitch extraction with MATLAB.. but Matlab as built-in FFT function...
So i m now get stucked how to perform FFT on audio sound sample regardless the N value of sound sample for FFT buffer.
Many thanks for your former advise... and
Looking forward for your replies again.
Happy New Year 2011 :)

I can't connect to iTunes. I think it might be an issue with McAfee Security Center - not sure. I am getting an error code of -42408. (Don't know what that means...) Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?
Having the same issue after downloading the lastest version of itunes. Apple is going to lose me as a customer, if this keeps up with their software updates. They never seem to work.
Really, they should want me to be able to access their store. That's money out of their pocket.
Honestly, I don't know why Apple doesn't have a techie monitering their support threads trying to help fix issues.
I don't have McAffee, so that wouldn't be my issue. I guess, I'll keep checking back to see if anyone has figured anything out.
I can't seem to sync my ipad, now either. Ebay is sounding really good. -
T400s Linux/Windows dual boot with Linux from Esata Flash Drive
This project is about a dual boot Windows/Linux system without using the normal dual boot changes in the bootloader of the windows hard drive. When I started this I found bits and pieces of information on the web but no complete description so I wrote this post.
I have done a dual boot system on my previous Thinkpad where I had partitioned the hard drive between Linux and windows. For this project I wanted to leave the windows hard drive absolutely intact and unaltered, and boot Linux from a flash drive in the esata port on the back of the T400s. Obviously this uses the F12 boot list function key to boot from the flash. The advantage of this is that Windows is totally unaltered and when I need Linux, I plug in the esata flash drive, hit F12 during the boot cycle and select booting from the esata flash drive. The reason for Esata rather than USB is simply speed. I have a nice fast Linux installation.
I used the OCZ esata flash drive but suspect any of the alternatives will work. It did not need the accessory usb cable because the Thinkpad powered the esata flash directly.
To boot from the esata drive I had to make the following changes in the bios
I left the esata flash plugged in as I went into the bios
Bios>config>Serial ATA and changed the Sata controller mode option to compatibility
Restart and back into the Bios
Bios>startup>boot - in my case the esata flash drive showed up as ATA HDD2 and was excluded from the boot order so I had to un-exclude it and move it to the point in the boot order that I wanted.
Next I downloaded a linux installation iso and put it on a CD - in my case opensuse. Then booted from the CD
From now on this instructions are specific to opensuse and yast but can be generalized to whatever Linux is being used.
In my case yast came up with a good set of suggestions for automatically partitioning the flash drive but then crashed during the partitioning itself. So I rebooted and specified the partitions manually.
A fat32 partition left as a partition which both windows and Linux could see (in my case about 20% of the drive) (/dev/sdb1)
An extended partition with the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb2) which contains the following logical partitions
A linux Swap partition of 2GB (/dev/sdb5)
A linux /home partition –the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb6)
A linux /root partition of 8GB (/dev/sdb7)
Yast automatically suggested mount points of C,D,E for the windows partitions. Unfortunately because of the way the Thinkpad hard drive was laid out Yast had C assigned the ThinkPad Service partition and D assigned to the SW_Preload (or main windows partition). However there was an edit function that allows for the reversal of those mount points so that the windows C drive is mounted in Linux as Windows/C thereby avoiding confusion. I had already backed up and removed the Thinkpad factory install data so I did not have to deal with that. Yast suggested Windows/E for the mount point of the FAT32 partition on the flash drive, which I accepted.
The yast install configurator made all this manual selection easy, and after the manual configuration the partitioning worked perfectly.
Next step was Linux user configuration which went fine
Next was booting.
In the section management tab
delete the windows 1 and 2 options (since we are not dual booting directly)
In the boot loader installation tab
uncheck boot from mbr ( this stops the install from installing Grub and dual boot on the windows c drive
check boot from root partition (this installs grub and all associated files in the Linux root partition (/dev/sdb6)
I believe that the correct procedure at this point is to click Boot Loader installation details which will bring up the Grub device map. In the device map there will be a line for the fixed hard drive (aka the windows drive) and a line for the esata flash drive. When the installer started up these were in hard drive and esata drive order. However when we boot directly from the flash the esata drive will be grub drive hd0 and the fixed hard drive will be grub hd1. The device map order needs to be changed to reflect this ie the esata drive should be first not second.
I did not do this and ended up initially doing Grub command line editing to boot and later manually editing the grub files using information I had previously learned the hard way and through google.
At this point let the installer go ahead and install Linux. After doing this it should come back and tell you to reboot. Do not do it yet because we need to install the MBR into the flash drive.
I suspect that there is a way of doing this in Yast running from the Live CD but it was not obvious to me so I used the manual method that I have used before.
Open a root terminal
Mount /dev/sdb6 to /mnt/sdb6 (my linux root)
Touch /mnt/sdb6/boot/grub/flag
The purpose of this is when we go looking later at the grub command prompt we need an easy to find unique file
Start grub and do the following
#grub
grub> find /boot/grub/flag
(hd1,5) -- the result of the find in my example
grub> root (hd1,5) -- using the result of the find in my example
grub> setup (hd1) -- install mbr -- my example parameters - if you get this wrong you will trash some other drive!!!
hopefully grub announces success
grub> quit
Reboot and select the flash drive. In my case I still had the grub devicemap wrong and had to edit the grub commands during boot to tell grub how to find the correct partition and then edit them again after booting
Typical linux install issues that we all always seem to have and can be solved with a little (or a lot of) google research.
As I said at the beginning I now have an untouched windows installation and a nice fast Linux installation. I hope that this will be of some use to someone.Hi chrissh
i tried this exact procedure... on the exact same notebook (T400s). However, as soon as I set the
Bios>config>Serial ATA to "compatibility", I cannot use my default Windows installation! I immediately get the "blue screen of death".
I doubt I did anything differently since this is the first step of your procedure and my laptop is brand new!
any idea? -
Can I compile my project from windows to work with linux
I have written a program in Labview 7.1 for windows XP. Some costumers are interested to run this software under Linux Ubuntu. Can I write programs in labview on a windows-pc and from there build a application to run under Linux ?
Hi [email protected],
No, each operating system uses a different type of executable. There is a different LabVIEW Run-Time engine for Linux, Windows, and Mac. Any installer you build will only run on the OS that you built it on. However, any VI that you create can be opened and run on a different operating system if you have the development system.
Finally, the only way to deploy a LabVIEW application on a particular operating system is to use the Application Builder for that operating system.

E90 sync(and more) with linux
Hi,
I've seen some threads about syncing with linux, but thought I'd mention my need of a good solution of not only syncing the E90 with linux, but also have access to advanced features like Nokia maps. I'd hate to have a very capable phone, but miss features because only windows PCs are supported.
As I'm not ready to pay 800€ for a phone I can't fully exploit, I'm looking for people with experience with the E90 and linux, eg: can it be synced and backed up easily? can I transfer maps to the phone from a linux pc? Is the phone usable as a USB mass storage for file transfers?
Maybe Nokia should learn from HP, who makes linux drivers for all their printers.... In that case I wouldn't hesitate to buy the E90.
Thanks in advance
RaphI submitted something like that recently: To my surprise, at a "general" discussion group, I found out that most people used Linux there!
But large companies favor large companies, and do not change their ways easily. It will probably take another two years before Nokia realizes that it's producing products (like PC Sync) that most of its users cannot use. -
Greetings all:
I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
W. KeithDo they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
Kind regards,

Windows and Mac with same iPod
I have an iPod I have been using for over a year on my Mac with iTunes. I wanted to be able to connect it to my girlfriends PC so she can use it when she is working on her 'puter. She downloaded iTunes, then the iPod software from the Apple site, installed everything, but then it askes if she wants to format it. I don't want to lose 15 gigs of music so I told her not to do anything else til I can find an answer. How do we proceed at this point? Is it possible to do what I want to do or will we have to buy her her own Mac... to use my iPod.
Macs can read a Windows formatted iPod, but a Windows PC cannot directly read a Mac formatted iPod.
You can format the iPod for Windows use and then use it across the two platforms, but that will erase the iPod and require you to resync it to your iTunes.
There is a software you can purchase that will allow a Windows PC to read a Mac formatted HD (or iPod). See: XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality) -
