did you open up VNC on the Mac on allowed services..
Also when you say can see it.. do you mean you did a ping..
what are the IPs of the machines.. and how are they wired?
-
sadly you wont Nativity. you can pipe to the print command or write a wrapper in powershell or some other scripting language. do a screen capture
but the truth is access or openoffice base (Free) would be better replacements for the software he is using.
if this is for a business he may want to change to keep up with E-discovery rules. it would be sad to loose your business because your old dos flat file database can not be traced correctly encase of a law suite.
http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.co...1151013,00.html
truth be told mysql and Ruby or django would be better options as then your forms would be web based. for a business this is a much better solution, even for companies with only two employees, as you don't have to play the where is the file game and who has it open.
Warning self advertisement take with grain of salt
This is one of the things my company does for small companies, take old database and their forms and move them to more manageable systems both legally and administratively.
As we do not even truly like Access or Base for information that is important

if you Read the MS deal with Novell you will see that Microsoft purchased more protection to its customers over UNIX parts in windows than they gave Novell for protections over windows stuff in Linux. But Microsoft Marketing got to announce the Deal.

do you have the crash log..
is she opening spreadsheets created somewhere else, Microsoft removed VB support from the Mac version of office and that has been known to be a reason for crashes..
Leave it to MS to make products not compatible with them selves.

how is this diffrent with Windows...
Last year we did a 12 Monitor AV install all at 1080p over Fiber.. we had a issue where no computer with a newer video card would play video at 1080p on monitors we bought 6 month earlier. after some searching and talking to both NVIDIA and Sony. The issues turned out to be HDCP related. we fixed the issue by breaking out the same videocards made a year earlier that did not have a HDCP chip installed.
Apples did not change anything. you just can not order a video card with out HDCP.. its done at the hardware level not the OS level
so this is not new, or unexpected..
Toms hardware had a article about this in windows 2 years ago.. and the possible issues.. there was even a law suit against ATI and NVIDIA
http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/08/ati-sue...ng-hdcp-claims/
don't blame the hardware maker but the lawmakers that allow the MPAA and RIAA to abuse Fair Use to protect what they think is theirs.
Nancy I am talking about you ...
good luck

It's coming in pretty fast on BitTorrent and the Ubuntu tracker is loaded with over 5K seeders!
Anyway, I decided to run the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD to test whether my audio and wifi issues were properly detected. So far, I haven't configured the wifi as yet, but I see where I can enter the relevant information. However, I still have a problem with my audio. Whenever a sound plays there is still a lot of stuttering and echoes in a pulse-like tone.
Whether I choose "Autodetect", "ALSA", "OSS" or any one of those on "Intel HDA STAC92xx digital/analog" and test the audio I either get that same sound coming from the speakers or no sound at all. Bummer!
if you are not using you parallel port and serial port, try turning them off in the BIOS.. I have seen that chip collide with either, causing the issue you are seeing..
I am not saying it will fix your issues, but it may
also a Live cd can show performance issues depending on how much ram you have

Marty
have you tried the alternate installer. its text based so issues during install don't affect it. most lock ups are due to low specs are related to live CD GUI's and the amount of memory needed.
its on this page and you check under start download
-
But if you're REALLY interested in locking down the machine...
-----------
Many BIOS SETUP routines (Phoenix in particular, very common) have a hard drive password option that prevents access at an early level in the boot sequence.
I THINK that just prevents access without altering (as in encrypting) the hard drive.
-----------
And quite often a password can be set (thereafter required) to enter BIOS SETUP as well.
I DON'T recommend this either since finding the RESET pin/jumper or pulling the CMOS battery can be a problem on some systems if the password is lost.
-----------
I've never used nor do I recommend either of these unless you ABSOLUTELY need this level of security.
-------------
Has anyone tried/use these?
the first is to require a password at reboot, this is good to keep people from overriding the boot process with a different boot disk, and can also be used to alert you that your system booted with out your doing(windows update is the main reason)
the second make someone enter a password before they can change hardware , good for CM or locking down ports
all of these are useless on a desktop, if they have access its a simple matter of pulling the case and reseting the bios..
on servers in a enterprise system all of these are used, if they follow good security policy, as you can not just pull off the case on most servers and reset the password. on Sun servers its not a BIOS its a small OS that controls hardware..
it is to slow down people with physical access, from easily getting information or control.
but they would more likely just pull the hard drive..

The new 2.6.27 Kernel is list office support for your wireless chip set now.. Maybe intel fixed the driver
-
is this 32 or 64 bit.
The issues you are seeing is related to the firmware not loading, most likely. if its 64bit try the 32bit as it looks like the driver and firmware are not 64bit ready.
then write intel and use big words asking why they are not providing better drivers.
there is a Kernel Bug Listed for this Chip
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermai...ber/019730.html
it looks like Intel driver does not work..

don't know what I did wrong, but in case people care, here is my code at its current state. this is a nice basic AI experiment. no fancy graphics, thou with pygame they would be simple to add, but for now this is an experiment in having the computer learn, the same way we do, observer and repeat along with remember your successes.

sorry we don' do people homework,
this is all very basic, and what ever book you are reading from (or class) should cover these basics..
but incase you have more questions?

also if you are having problems, submit your code and we can point to where you may be going wrong

this should be a this or that answer, but it fails if either are not true??

is traceMonkey part of Fire Fox 3 or only from the SVN
FireFox is fast, but opening sites next to each other, Chrome (V8) seams to render the page and start running the java script before Fire Fox, and much faster then IE8. but that may be a difference in spinning tabs to their own process and not the actual rendering.
-
I think Chrome is a nice, quick browser, its fast... once it can do JAVA and then have plugins, on windows it will be one of the better browsers.
but I am waiting for a Mac and Linux release. that will be the test.
but the point of Chrome is to allow Google to control a rendering engine, and with it being open source it means Fire Fox will pull in its java script improvements.

simple answer,
Nautilus does not mount it..
I know it looks mounted and asked if you want to unmount..
an quick check with wire shark will show that it does a smbtree like search and displays this information. then uses smbclient to grab what you want to see or put new things on..
this is messy if you want to use the command line or even VLC at times..
you can use samba in your fstab to mount the shares...
-
This is a parallel printer right?
see if lp is loaded
sudo lsmod | grep lp
if not then try
sudo modprobe lp
then from a browser enter
localhost:631
and go to printers..
you should be able to add the printer (it will have you log in I think)
also you can try some of these tricks
https://help.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguid...figuration.html
let me know how that goes..
I will be out of town after tomarrow afternoon, so If I don't get back to you by then, hitest or anyone else should be able to help
i need help with a printerhi a friend
has ubuntu 7.10 installed
but i cannot get the printer to work
ive tried it on windows and it works ok
ive look in the synaptic packages to see if i need any printer options
but ime not sure what ime looking for other than
cupsy's
from there ime lost
any ideas
marty
-
experts, no we just banged our heads on these issues first..
-
I would try the upgrade, install 7.10 then use the package manager to update.
was this a cd you burned? or did you get it mailed to you?
and did you do a cd check at the start (I think its a menu Item when you boot the CD)
-
is this an upgrade?
-
this may help
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_VoIP_software
also note that any SIP software "should" be able to talk to any other SIP software.
I use kphone and call up our CISCO SIP phones at work with no issues. (can't call a CISCO call-manager as that uses a proprietary connection)

are you getting a stop code..
There is no real error in this log. everything is loading, just a kernel stamp issue.
The loading of the Kernel is a issue, normally a bad drive (or going bad.. ), strangly MS is reporting a bad keyboard causing this error message also.
a blue screen stop code would be better.. Maybe..
