Huey Lewis and The News Greatest Hits - Hip to Be Square Brian

I have been taught during my training that Regcleaners are a bad idea. Most people think that regcleaners are the answer to "speeding up thier slow computers." This is NOT true - Companies advertise that thier cleaner will help the user with speed issues, or specific problems, and when they download an application, it "cleans" the registry. It will mostlikely go in, find empty registry entries and zap them out, but these things also can delete LEGITIMATE reg entries as well. You have to understand that the registry is like the "Life Blood" of your machines. Going in with a regcleaner to

Talked to D(an) at D&K this afternoon, who installed the debiian (elive) and he says that this server is RAID, so he said that he would look at this, as he believes that all I wouild have to do is to go into the raid array program to fix the drives, as they are hot swappable - I don't really want to do much more fixes on this until he looks at the situation - which means he will also take care of the Horrible fan Buzzing that is happening because of the casing. Will keep you advised. Brian

Shanenin: Problem is I dont think I can download anything to the drive, and I would need step by step instructions to correct the problem on the bad block - this is the first time this has happened to me I thought fsck would fix all drives for me, but maybe I do not know how to do it Brian

I turned off the server the other day, and Now I cant mount the drives at all: I need to know how to repair all of my filesystems because they were not clean....Does anyone know how to easily repair the drives?? I want to scan them all and fix them, but i need to mount /dev/sda2 and fsck said it couldnt read block 32781. Is there a way to repair this bad block so I can remount the drive and move my files, or at least repair it until I can get a replacement drive for the server?? I want to remount all drives and I think /dev/sda2 is the one who is stopping the works Brian

I have been advised, as has been said above to remove adaware and spybot from my arsenal as well. MBAM does such a good job that it is what I use after running a scan with Panda. There are other tools that are faster, smaller and better, and with S+D 1.5, I cant get all of my protections locked in when I immunize. Brian

Thanks Brian. I apologize for putting this in the wrong spot. Is there something I can do to get this thread deleted? -Tracy Your welcome One of our Mods or admins ON BT will probably see this and either move it, or lock it so that it is in the malware forum. If they do, you won't have to worry Brian

Tried this again, and made a password for my accounts, the thing is that I have to start it from a shell before I can vnc - I can use vncviewer4 or my older version of vnc, but want to set up specific display numbers for certain logins so I do NOT have to be root initially - I was able to start vncserver and then do: 192.168.1.60:display# Then it came up with a password prompt, and I entered it and it worked - I don't know what the heck I did, right or wrong, but may need some more help on this: I get this right, and I can go live on the net next week Brian

Any Version of winzip can also open tar.gz files, as does gunzip for linux Brian

If and when we get this new list, I want to take a copy of it and have it available in my FASS Editor and Cannery, so I can have it available for those I assist with computer issues, because I get asked all the time about which programs are good/bad. PS: I will assist you as best I can Brian

I cant seem to run VNC4 Server and successfully connect to my linux machine's desktop - It shows that it has a valid display #, but when I try to use a VNC viewer from my windows box, I get a password box, I enter the right password, and then get "VNC Authentocation failed" which means i cannot connect to the linux box: brian@Eliveserver{pts/0}:/root> vncserver :0 You will require a password to access your desktops.

I agree that the economy is in dire straights and needs to be revitalized. There has been too much of a "wait and see" approach to Washington Politics for 8+ Years and it is time for the common man to have a stake in what is going on. I see that we have a banking problem, we have businesses closing, we have double digit unemployment, we have a HOUSING crisis and we have banks that will not lend money, even after they took some of the TARP funds - This is unacceptable - This proves that we need to do something to get the economy MOVING..........The time for people to SAY we have a problem is OV

I agree: Godaddy has alot of sales on domains, and when it was time for me to get a renewal, I registered a new domain, and transferred one from yahoo to godaddy. It is pretty easy to do, and if you transfer a domain, it takes from 5-7 business days for everything to straighten out. I think I paid $22.00 for both domains. You should remove the domain you placed here, as Isteve states, because someone may swipe it away from you. If you registered it already, then you should be OK, but I would register it first. Good Luck!! Brian

OK Webmin was the cause of my confusion - I had to look at the Partition Manager, which showed this: Location SCSI device D Cylinders 38913 Size 298.09 GB Model WD 3200AAJ External Controller 2 Target 0 Once I fount that, I didnt realize that the mybook was mounted as a vfat device, so I mounted it as msdos and changed the permissions to my UID and my GID. It showed that it was SCSI Device D Win95 32LBA, and I was trying to mount it as EXT3, and I did NOT realize what device SCSI device D was, until I looked at the partition manager - Then, BANG: Webmin mounted her root@Eliveserver[/et

- Connected the HDD. - Run dmesg and look for messages related to the drive (usb-storage, etc). The later messages should include the device node (e.g., sdd). - mount $DEVICE $MOUNTPOINT where $DEVICE is the path to a partition on the drive (e.g., /dev/sdd1) and $MOUNTPOINT is anything at all. Thanks, will check into that Brian

Is there a way to mount a Mybook 320GB External drive in Elive?

However, if you want to know the first ssytem I learned Unix on, It was Tallahassee Freenet, which I still volunteer for, and I 14 Years of Service with Them - It was also the place I had my first shell Brian
