Raspberry Pi in a RDP scenario: What are you experiences?

So has the customer realised why people spend money on proper clients yet?

Hi folks,I was wondering if anybody else has any experience in using Raspberry Pi's (the new Model 2 in my case) in a MS Remote Desktop environment utilizing Windows Server 2012 R2.About 3 months ago, we moved a customer of ours away from their two physical HP ML350 G6 and ML310 servers to a new DL380 G9 server utilizing HyperV and Remote Desktop.The customer didn't want to spend close to 200 on HP-branded Thin Clients, so instead we cheaped out and went the route of deploying 12 Raspberry Pis and using rdesktop to connect to the virtualized Windows Server 2012 R2 terminal server.All in all, everything worked out, but there were quite a few problems along the way which made me question if this was really the best way to go about it.A few examples: Seems like the included version of rdesktop for the current release of Raspbian doesn't...

15" MBPr scroll lag: What are you experiences servicing this under AppleCare?

I'm one of the many suffering from the dreaded and well documented scroll lag. Have tried literally everything to fix this on my own, but have had no success. Using a tool like QuickRes to force non-HiDPI has helped; I've been using this band aid solution for well over a year now..
I have a 3 year AppleCare warranty.. What are your experiences with trying to get this serviced? I can't see this being a hardware issue, but then again, it very well could be. It doesn't look like any 13" MBPr's suffer from the same issues? I know it isn't typical for Apple to give out full replacements.. There's been users that have reportedly had up to 9 repairs / replacements, and this doesn't sound like something I'd want to go through.. Countless hours over the phone, at the Genius Bar, the wait times for repairs..
Is this issue directly related to the problems with the LG / Samsung displays? I can confirm I have a Samsung.

Ask for a new unit or a refund. Go for the fourth time or even the fifth. Its an expensive machine bought with hard earned money.

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
Thanks for a feed back.

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
For your problem:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
# If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

Hey guys!
Let's start a good conversation! Thread topic is very simple which is...

Shall we start?
Right now I am playing Final Fantasy X... yes.. an old game..... it's taking a long time to complete it. Before it, I played Mass Effect 3. Very nice game! Love the story! A lot of action and drama too. Recommend it to FPS and RPG gamers! Love the graphics too! Lady characters are very sexy! I think I'm in love with Miranda :p I'm also playing a little BF3 from time to time. I'm planning to go back playing MMO but can't decide what to play yet. I played Dragon Nest but got tired of it...

I'd love to play HOTS thou
Yeah StarCraft 2 looks awesome. I think I did play the first installment before I started working. I would like to finish the story. Been a fan of it since the first StarCraft... I'm kinda in a need of advice right now. I'm tired of playing single-player games right now like Final Fantasy, ME3.. I still have Alan Wake and Max Payne 3 that I haven't touched yet.. I feel like going back to MMOs.. any good suggestions? I feel like playing Guild Wars 2 but I'm reluctant since it's kinda old now and getting on top of the ranks should be harder for anybody entering the game right now.. Hmmm.. any other suggestions?

What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

Hi,
I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
Many thanks,
Chris.

I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
Has anyone found out how to do this?
Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
Zl.
PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

What are you supposed to do instead of Adobe flash when you hit a site that requires it while using iphone?

New to iphone and first time using the web I get a message that I can't view a page because Apple blocks Adobe Flash. There seems to be some big story behind this, but what are you supposed to do to view those sites? Sorry if there is an obvious answer somewhere but I'm muddling my way through all of this!
Thanks,

Nothing unless they have an HTML only option you can click on the bottom of the page. However a page that requires flash only is most likely that of a company or business with heavy marketing content. Most websites with useful content either don't base their entire homepage on flash or have a mobile version for smartphones. So if you're visiting company or movie websites just do it on your computer. Apple and now adobe considers that the battery hit for flash animations is not worth it for phones. Most flash content is pure advertising rubbish anyway. I always install Adblock on all my browsers and barely see any flash except for videos and websites where the flash is not advertising.

What are you waiting for?

I wonder do you guys feel the same. I must wait very long times for some operations on my system.
1) opening Firefox for a first time
2) starting xfce4
3) opening menu in xfce4 after some change (then it opens immediately)
4) running pacman
5) checking disk usage in ${HOME} (du|sort -nr|less)
6) indexing incomplete movie (mplayer -idx) to preview it
What are your experiences?

1. Gnome to start. first gnome panel show up, then the panel icons show up, one by one, then nautilus background picture, and at last the desktop icons show up sequentially (which is kind of annoying). If you want to give me a desktop, load it all into memory, then show it all at once, rather than giving me it piece by piece. I fart on this behaviour.
2. KDE to load. It does however load it all at once, besides autostarted applications such as kmix yakuake etc etc. I liked it better before someone rearranged the startup scripts in 3.5.3 and made kde _seem_ start faster. It doesn't. You are only given a desktop before it's completely loaded. I also fart on this behaviour!
i totally agree. the reason they added this stupid behaviour to KDE was because everybody said KDE was slow to start compared to Gnome and XP. but those two only SEEM to start faster, tough, on linux you can already start working when the desktop shows, which you can't on windows.
lets hope KDE 4 is so much faster we won't notice this annoying thing anymore ;-)

Still on PS3? What are you waiting for?

Are you still playing PlayStation 3? Why haven't you moved to the new generation with PlayStation 4? What are you waiting for? A specific game? The right price? Morpheus?

i'm broke at the moment, but in all fairness, I've got plenty of stuff to keep me busy as it is on my PS3 (as well as my WiiU, Amiga, Spectrum, 3DS, PC and Atarti2600) so I have no real need to upgrade. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to go next gen yet. It's tooe arly days to make a sensible decisison. Morpheus is callling to me, but currently I am much more impressed with the XboxOne with all its functionality, external HDD support and codecs, than the rather barren and user-unfriendly (for me anyway) PS4. I am also very angry and unforgiving with Sony for all the content removal on both my PS3 and SmartTV (which has lost Facebook, Midnight Pulp, Sony Entertainment TV, Crackle, Viewster and a whole host of other apps they decided they didn't want to run anymore.) As well as loads of things on the TV that just dont work properly that they cant be bothered to fix, incluing something that casues Youtube to crash all the time. The loss of PSHome was the final straw for me with Sony. Contrary to what a lot of people like to think it was very busy, and for me it was quite important, due to health issues I am fairly housebound, and it was a very good way for me to socialize.I just don't trust Sony anymore to make something that won't be downgraded in the near future. If Morpheus is great then I might be tempted to PS4 in time, but with rumors starting to emerge that the XboXone might support the Oculus, Sony have even lost the VR edge. Just wait and see for now.

What Are You Serving - Warning: US-Centric

It is now into the Memorial Day weekend in the US. What are you serving?
We looked into ribs, but decided that the marinade time was too long for Sunday evening. Instead, we opted for smoked brats on whole-wheat buns with chili, sauerkraut and shredded cheddar cheese (note lack of capitalization on cheddar). Ribs will be tomorrow evening.
Matching tonight's brats with an AZ Zinfandel, though it will likely not be available outside of the state of AZ.
Not sure what will go with the ribs, but am thinking of a Santa Clara Syrah, or maybe a big Pinot Noir.

The gentleman farmer (read winery owner) is Joe Anderson of Benovia Winery (great PN's, Zins and some very interesting Chards). He is also an aviator and multi-engine pilot. He was a principle in Schaller-Anderson, a healthcare plan administration company. Joe developed most of the software, with Dr. Schaller, and sold the organization to Mercy Healthcare Plan. This is the group that provides employee healthcare to such organizations as Catholic Healthcare West's Arizona hospitals, and to Carondelete Healthcare in Tucson, AZ. Joe walked away a very rich man, and now gets to support his two hobbies: winery owner (gentleman farmer) and aviator. I know that he flies a couple of his multi-engine ships, and has a jet, or two, but think that he uses a flight-crew for those. Could be wrong, and maybe he's a jet-pilot too?
I've flown a few ships, but only after take-off, and before landing, in "straight and level" situations. I have flown in dozens of tail-draggers, even out of friends' back yards. For strips such as those, a tricycle gear is NOT recommended, and for obvious reasons.
First time that my wife flew, we were in a Cessna 152, and flew out of one of those "backyards." We headed south of New Orleans and over towards the Mississippi Gulf Coast. My wife, and the pilot's date were in the back seats, and those were well below the level of our chairs. I'd flown this gentleman's planes before (though not his Stearman 450 - Joe's got one of those too, in military training garb), so I knew what to do. Over Cat Island, he told me to take the controls. My wife became upset, saying "Don't let him fly. He knows nothing about flying a plane!" We flew along for a bit (straight and level), and my wife kept it up. The pilot winked at me, and took over the controls, putting us into a heavily banked dive towards the island. My wife screamed, "I told you he didn't know how to fly a plane and now we're all going to die!" What fun, and we're still married, 38 years later. Now, I think that my wife would have more confidence, as she's flown "backseat" with me in numerous flight-sims, and has seen me land on rolling carriers, and tiny rice paddies, though all on a computer. I can imagine that we're headed to London in a 777OW and the pilot and co-pilot die. The distraught attendant comes into FC and announces, "does anybody know how to fly this plane?" and my wife pointing to me saying, "he can do it. He landed a 737 on an aircraft carrier in a storm!" How times have changed.
Now, with that same pilot and same ship, we flew over to Lafayette, LA for a football game. The airport was all by radio and visual, and no tower. On approach, we got a transmission from the plane in front of us, and he warned of severe cross winds and down drafts. The pilot set up, and began rotating. Things got very hairy, and he was working the flaps like never before. We were easily crabbing at 30º to the runway. Beads of sweat were rolling off of his forehead. My wife and his date were in the back seats, talking about what they were wearing to the game that nigh. I realized that things were not going well at all. Since the pilot was a crop duster, I had never seen him sweat, but we were committed by now, and it did not look good. At the last possible moment, he got us on line, flared out, and executed a perfect landing (between the numbers) with not one bump - smoothest landing that I have ever had in a light ship. Dead solid perfect. We taxied over to the gen-av hanger and the girls complimented him on the wonderful landing. We just looked at each other, and did not say a word. We knew how close it all came to being anything BUT a good landing.
I did my first aerial photography, harnessed into the grain/chemical hopper in his Stearman, shooting between the guy-wires, as he crabbed into my subject right at stall speed. I miss those days, but do like a comfortable ship, with a seasoned pilot and crew, and FC!
You know, even in my flight-sim days, do not think that I ever used a tail-dragger. Like the weasel reference. In south Louisiana, we were dodging crawfish holes, and wild possums and such.

Video-gaming: What are you playing right now?

Hey guys,
Continuing our mini gaming discussion series, today we thought it might be fun to talk about current games we're playing. At the moment, I'm playing The Witcher 3 and it is taking up far too much of my free time

(not kidding) @Toby finish your Witcher quickly so you can start FFXIV! @Cleoriff There are some very handsome characters in this game by the way. Probably not identical to Mr. Depp, but a joy to look at nonetheless. I may take a look...Oh just thought...is this PS4 ? If so I am sorry...we are part of the Xbox One clan......... *Stands back*...
