ThinkVantage: What Does It Do? How Make It Work?

On the T400, what does the ThinkVantage button do?
How can I make it work?    When I press it now, nothing happens.    The original windows operating system that came with this computer is no longer installed.   I got it without an operating system and I put Linux Ubuntu on it.      This computer may not even have the original hard drive.      The hard drive on it now is only 40GB.
Solved!

>> Lenovo doesn't provide ThinkVantage software with drivers and applications that will install on top of Linux distribution operating systems?
No.
I did write: Lenovo provides the ThinkVantage software as part of the drivers and applications that are installed on top of Windows.
I did also write: Lenovo never releases any ThinkPad drivers and applications for Linux.

  • What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?

    I'm doing some research for a client whose company is moving from PDFs to HTML for their in-house user interfaces.
    What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?
    Thanks!
    Luke

    PDFs can indeed work with data and can be programmed with javascript. You can do some pretty interesting things with it. It is even possible to create interactive forms on the web using PDF, however it requires server-side support. As a general rule, though, PDFs are terrible as a web interface and it's far easier to work with HTML and PHP.
    HTML is lightweight and PDF isn't (in case that seems like a small thing, it's actually a big negative for PDFs). The success of your PDFs will depend on the versions of acrobat your users use, and getting data in and out of the PDFs will require learning far more about Acrobat's FDF format and XML implementation than you may want to know.

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • When I click on Print to print a pdf from my computer, the message "initialization of rasteurization module failed". What does this mean - how do I fix it?

    Why can't I print a pdf in Acrobat Pro? I keep getting the message "initialization of rasteurization module failed". What does that mean and how do I fix that?

    This is an Acrobat error ("Initialization of the rasterizer module failed.") but it is has never been reported before that I can see.
    Let's start with the basics.
    - What version of Acrobat Pro
    - What system
    - What printer
    - Does it happen with other printers?
    - Does it happen with all files?

  • Newly downloaded version icon won't drag into Applications folder because I "don't have sufficient privileges" - what does that mean & how do I fix it?!

    I opened a new window in Firefox, which was still open from last night. I saw the notice:
    URGENT!
    Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
    Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!
    So, I clicked on the download which ran fine. At step 3, drag the Firefox icon to the Applications icon, a pop up said I didn't have sufficient privileges to do that.
    What does this mean and how do I fix it?! Thank you,
    Allison

    You're welcome

  • What does completer wants to make changes mean

    every time i start up my macbook pro a box pops up on the home screen that says "Completer wants to make changes. Type in your password to continue." what does this mean?? it gives me the option to "cancel"which I've been doing but I also typed in my password the first time it happened. Has this happened to anyone else?

    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. Some of the items listed in the article may be absent.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • FROM DATABASE INDX: What is this and how this it work?

    Hi,
    I have the following statements in one of the programs that I am modifying:
        INDX_KEY-FLAG = 'SP'.
        INDX_KEY-USERA = SY-UNAME.
        IMPORT DATA_TABLE FROM DATABASE INDX(SD) ID INDX_KEY.
    What does the last statement mean? How is it able to fill the table DATA_TABLE, and where is the data taken from?
    Points will be rewarded and responses will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    If DATABASE is specified, the data cluster that was written to the database table dbtab in the area ar and under the identification specified in id using the statement EXPORT is imported. The database table dbtab must be set up in the same way as described for the EXPORT statement . For id, a flat, character-type data object is expected that contains the identification of the data cluster, and the two-digit area ar must be specified directly.
    After TO, a work area wa that has the same data type as the database table dbtab can be specified. During import, the values of the database fields that are between the fields SRTF2 and CLUSTR are assigned to the components of wa with the same name.
    If the database table dbtab is client-dependent, a flat, character-type field cl can be specified after the addition CLIENT. This field contains a client identification. If the addition is not specified, the current client is used.
    Outside of classes, the addition TO wa can be omitted. Instead, a table work area for the database table dbtab can be declared using the statement TABLES. Then, during the import, the values of the database fields that are between the fields SRTF2 and CLUSTR are assigned to the component with the same name in the table work area dbtab. In addition, outside of classes, the specification id can be replaced by the obsolete specification obs_id.
    Example
    The table that is imported into the internal table itab is the table exported under the name tab and the identification " TABLE" into the area "XY" of the database table INDX supplied by SAP (see the additions medium of the statement EXPORT). However, the components - which can be selected as required - are assigned to the structure wa_indx.
    TYPES:
      BEGIN OF tab,
        col1 TYPE i,
        col2 TYPE i,
      END OF tab.
    DATA:
      wa_indx TYPE indx,
      wa_itab TYPE tab,
      cl      TYPE mandt VALUE '100',
      itab    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tab.
    IMPORT tab = itab
      FROM DATABASE indx(xy)
      TO   wa_indx
      CLIENT cl
      ID 'TABLE'.
    WRITE: wa_indx-aedat, wa_indx-usera, wa_indx-pgmid.
    ULINE.
    LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.
      WRITE: / wa_itab-col1, wa_itab-col2.
    ENDLOOP.
