Notes

This may seem like an odd question. Right now ONLY windows media player, VLC and media player classic opens and plays my audio video correctly. Virtualdub plays it back with the wrong framerate and losses the audio, Avidemux 2.5 seems to be able to dump the audio/video but the video (like all other apps) is either a bad framerate or is wrong (glitches and bad framerate or bad dump). Nothing recognizes the audio file and when playing the video Avidemux (and most other things) die. FFMPEG cant seem to split the video or audio (using copy -an and etc) and this is getting me very angry. VLC dumps the video incorrectly when i try dumping it with that too. What can i use to convert the video? its streaming so it starts at 26mins in and ends at 28 (this is where apps have the problem. They dont know this and fudge everything or crash). I manage to dump the audio with Avidemux but virtualdub and ffmpeg says unreconized codec. Even if i cant convert it (it seems compressed enough) i want to at

When I run history , I get a list of commands. However, it does not appear to be complete, even for a given period of time. (It doesn't feel like it has continuous coverage of the past N commands - it feels like some are missing.) Also, the output of history is different in different terminal tabs. Is this because the history isn't written to disk until the tab is closed? Does that explain why certain commands seem to get lost, because they are overwritten by closing tabs? I'm on OSX 10.8 for what it's worth.

I've just learnt how to draw curves in photoshop, after doing this my lines started disappearing first of all and now i'm getting arrows instead of straight lines.

I use Ubuntu at work and a Mac at home. I was trying out some shell commands on my bash terminal on the Mac today but they didn't work. I was told both machines should operate UNIX commands so the terminal commands should be the same. However I can't use apt-get install among other commands. Why is that? What should I type on a Mac instead of apt-get ? Is there anyway to use the same commands on both systems?

I have a file with a mix of CRLF and LF, and wish to remove the LF. I am new to Notepad++ and just downloaded V6.23. I'm using the search/replace dialogue box in extended mode. It will find and count the CR LF (using \r\n) but if I do a replace (to e.g. a blank or \r) nothing happens, and a replace all says it has replaced 0 occurrences. There are around 1000 CRLF in file and may be 100 lone LF. Any ideas?

I'm having Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Processor with 2GB RAM. While trying to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit i gave me an error saying that the processor is not compatible with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit .I checked the system requirements and found that my processor doesn't support PrefetchW but all the other requirements are supported. HTT * Hyperthreading enabled X64 * Supports 64-bit mode NX * Supports no-execute page protection PAE * Supports > 32-bit physical addresses SSE2 * Supports Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 CX16 * Supports CMPXCHG16B instruction PREFETCHW - Supports PREFETCHW instruction Note : '*' means it's there(supports) and '-' means it's not there(doesn't support) I know i'm asking a poor question. But i want my old processor to run Windows 8.1 64Bit anyway. Is there any way to run Windows 8.1 64 bit without PrefetchW support?

I have the following data in Excel: start date end date number of repetition 0 515 423 0 484 982 0 456 5,012 0 425 1,063 0 395 2,148 I need to generate for example 423 repetitions of corresponding start date and end date in a column like this: 0 515 0 515 ... And then the rest of the repetitions start after that in the same column.. Answer I was able to adapt Byron Wall ’s answer to How to create a dynamic table in Excel? (on Stack Overflow) to alternate between the two columns: E2 → =A2 E3 → =B2 E4 → =IF(      INDEX(C$2:C$99, MATCH(E2,A$2:A$99), 1) > COUNTIF(E$2:E2, E2),      E2,      INDEX(A$2:A$99, MATCH(E2,A$2:A$99)+1, 1)) E5 → =IF(      INDEX(C$2:$C99, MATCH(E2,A$2:A$99), 1) > COUNTIF(E$2:E2, E2),      E3 ,      INDEX( B$2:B$99 , MATCH(E2,A$2:A$99)+1, 1)) Then select E4 and E5 together and drag down.  Of course you should replace 99 with the last

How could I add a line before and after a piece of text in Word, like in this image with the word "Education" : Answer Since you didn't mention the version of Word, I'll try and keep this general. I'm using Word 2013 for the record. Draw a line (like put in a bunch of dashes and hit enter to let Word convert it to a border line). Inset a TextBox object. Enter desired text in the textbox. Center the text in the text box, and adjust the Textbox to the size you want. Adjust the layout of the TextBox to be "In front of text". Format the TextBox shape and chang ehte Shape Outlooine to "No outline". Drag the TextBox in front of the line to where you want it. Additionally you can use advanced Layout->Position options to center it horizontally on the page, etc. Result (with no additional formatting, colouring, etc.): Alternatively: Type in regular text and center it. Insert a Line shape, and draw it on one side of the text. Copy the line nad paste

my computer keeps restarting within 2 seconds, I don't have the time to acess the BIOS or anything. I have to turn off with the switch, and I have to wait like 2 min before trying to restart it if not, it simply won't start. The 1st restart goes up to the windows logo, but then the computer crashes and keeps crashing after every 2 seconds. Do you have an idea of what could be the problem? PSU is brand new coolmaster 700W. It's not a super powerfull gaming computer. It's a basic gaming computer. I'll inspect the parts later this week.

I built and installed Emacs 24.5 on a Banana Pro . I basically followed Minimal emacs24 installation . It was my first time configuring and building Emacs from sources, and all the X, sound, mouse and image stuff was removed. It was done to free resources (its amazing how much uneeded junk is present in emacs-nox ). I dismissed the first Emacs nag by setting (setq inhibit-startup-message t) in .emacs from Unable to hide welcome screen in Emacs . However, it did not kill the second nag and I can't figure out how to disable it: ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation. ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. I'd really like Emacs to stop nagging me and allow me to get on to working. How do I disable the second Emacs nag message?

First for the record, this problem started before I upgraded to Win10. I made a post here on r/techsupport subreddit to no avail though I guess I may have put a bit more than was needed and maybe lacking some more technical info which I will now be able to provide here. So perhaps for the most part it will be ok to not read the reddit link. This crash has been happening relatively infrequently compared to other observed cases perhaps, although probably about once a day minimum, no more than twice a day iirc. I have not been hibernating my laptop and sometimes it happens when I am AFK, other times when I am doing something. Upon trying to help myself more today I managed to install WinDbg so here I have some info produced by it. I will give a lot of info below but this a link to the most recent dump here on my Google Drive . Simple bugcheck, and !thread output BugCheck 9F, {3, ffffe000c24bb6e0, ffffd00150c6a990, ffffe000c13f9b80} Implicit thread is now ffffe000`bc6ac040 Probably caus

So once I pressed update in Windows Update, and the progress bar appears and it starts updating. However, it got stuck in "Preparing Update Installation". I cannot press cancel because it says I need to be logged in as administrator which I am, but for some reason it thinks I am not. I tried rebooting the computer but it still stuck at the "preparing update" step. Translation: "You must provide system administrator permission", "In order to cancel, you must be logged in as an administrator account, or request a system administrator to cancel." How can I cancel it and restart it? I am using Windows 8. (Not Windows 8.1) Answer Open Command prompt with Elevated privileges taskkill /im wuauclt.exe /f This will use taskkill to "Ends one or more tasks or processes" searching for the image name wuauclt.exe which is the windows update process To check if it's running and for more info about the process you can run tasklist /v | findstr w

Chrome used to complete cal to calendar.google.com for me, but it stopped working.

As the SysAdmin, I sometimes need to grant myself access to someone's mailbox in Office 365. It's usually a temporary thing, just to accomplish a task or two, but sometimes it's somewhat long term. When I do this, the mailbox automatically downloads into my Outlook client as well. I don't need it in my Outlook client as I can accomplish my tasks in the Outlook Web App by using a new tab or browser window. When it downloads into my Outlook client, it takes up a bunch of space on my computer and it also takes longer to update everything when I start Outlook in the mornings. Also, I don't need the extra mailboxes in Outlook. I'd like to have the permission I need without the entire mailbox downloading into Outlook. Is this possible? Thanks, Jono Answer Yup - you just need to disable AutoMapping on the mailbox. But, it's not as easy as flipping a switch. You need to remove the current permissions and then re-add it with the automapping property to off. So, if

I am trying to figure out the last access time for file in Windows if user read the file. I know that to improve the performance of NTFS filesystem in Windows vista and above the last access times of files and directories are not updated. To enable Last Access timestamp for files and folder in Windows we have to run the following command and need to restart the computer. fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0 Even after restarting the computer the last access timestamp for file is not getting changed if I open and close the file. If any one have any idea about how to enable last access timestamp then please let me know.

How can I get the battery status in windows? On Linux it is as simple as acpi -b but in Windows this simple task seems impossible. powercfg -energy can get all kinds of all information, but won't output something as simple as the charge level. I just need something simple which I can use for some scripts.

A similar question has been asked elsewhere without a satisfying answer for me . The following ffmpeg command results in error. When "-c:a copy" is added to just copy the audio stream, the video stream is nicely re-encoded with the requested bitrate. I'm running this on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.

I have a column that is text formatted like 20110408_2041 . How can I format it to date/time format? Answer Assuming that your string is coded YYYMMDD_HHMM for Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, then you can construct an Excel formula to generate a cell in date/time format. If the string is in cell A1, then this formula ought to do it: =DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2))+TIME(MID(A1,10,2),RIGHT(A1,2),0) You will need to format the cell properly to see the time portion. This is tested in LibreOffice calc, but Excel appears to have the same functions.

When I insert JPEG screenshots into Microsoft Word, it smoothes them instead of preserving the original pixels from the bitmap. When I then print to PDF (using Acrobat Distiller), depending on my downsample settings, I either get blurry screenshots or hugely bloated file sizes. What I want: I would like Word and Acrobat to leave the bitmaps alone so that they make it through the process with their pixels intact. This is what the original image looks like when you zoom in: What I get: This is what the Word document looks like when you insert the same image and zoom in. When this is printed to PDF, all those extra pixels result in a much larger file. Sample files: Test.png (56K) A sample screenshot image file Test.docx (69K) A Word file containing nothing but this image Test.PDF (9.4MB) A PDF file printed from the Word file using Distiller, with all downsampling turned off Test2.PDF (98K) A PDF file generated using Word 2010's "Save as PDF" tool (note the very low quali

we can create bootable windows 7 on usb drive (here) using windows command line, is it possible to create bootable linux using windows command line?

In Windows 10, when opening images, it gives me the option to open in the Photos metro app, Paint, or GIMP. I'd like it to open in Photo Viewer, but when I directed "Open with" to PhotoViewer.dll in "C:/Program Files/Windows Photo Viewer", or "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Photo Viewer", I get a "This app can not run on your PC" error. I know I could use Irfanview or the sort, but I'd prefer to be able to use Photo Viewer. Is there any way I can bring it back? Answer I think because of your first attempt to run the .dll directly, the entry "Windows Photo Viewer" still points to the .dll instead of rundll32, which of course you can't run directly. Try adding the following to the registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\photoviewer.dll] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\open] "MuiVerb"="@photoviewe

How to open a .webarchive file in Windows? It seems to be created on Mac. Everything I read says to open it in Safari. Safari doesn't install on my Windows 10 and it's discontinued by Apple. Software I found which say they open it are all malware according to my antivirus software. Word can't open it as some sites claim. What software and open this file format safely?

I'm looking for a linux program that is simple and text-based, like cygwin, thats actually linux. I feel to much is missed out by cygwin like nano syntax highlighting and general linux programs. Is there any thing that runs with command prompt, like cygwin, that is a full text-based linux OS.

I've a firewall with 2 interfaces: Interface1: LAN with some computers connected (Mac, Win, Linux) Interface2: WAN with 2 modems connected Now every computer has the gateway set to Firewall and Firewall gateway set to modem1. I would like to let a computer (let's say Linux) use exclusively modem2. Computers shares printers and other local devices, so they have to stay in the same LAN, so I cannot connect the computer to modem2 directly. Route command on firewall is not useful because it does not choose based on source, only destination. Route on computer seems not working, probably because the gateway is behind the firewall. Any idea? Thanks in advance.

I have a backup task that fails with a non zero result, yet Task Scheduler says that it executed the task correctly. Is there any way to tell Task Scheduler that the task failed? Answer If Task Scheduler successfully launches the task and the launched program exits, then from the point of view of the Task Scheduler it was a success (i.e., nothing bad happened like a failed user credential starting the program). Normally if you want to monitor for something bad that happened during a program run you would either have the program send an alert of some sort (e.g., via email or by logging to a file that you later review), or else setup another program to monitor something about the program run that could indicate whether an error occurred. What sort of notification of an error are you trying to get? Are you doing a manual review but just trying to have the error be more noticeable? Or do you have another program monitoring for errors?

I got a bsod saying: STOP: 0x000007B (0xF78A2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I know this seems to have been asked multiple times, but Í think I'm a different case. I just installed winxp professional on an external hdd, linux worked on that disk in the past. Now I get the bsod. Does anyone know what has coused this. I've reinstalled windows severaltimes and deleted all partitions, any suggestions? Answer Windows XP does not support booting from a USB drive without some tweaks. There also seems to be an issue with some hardware no matter what. While the system recognizes the USB drive as it starts to boot, it drops the USB connection and the boot process fails. There are several sites that detail what is needed. Here is one to get you started USB boot ( mirrored here )

Is there a way we can disable automatic driver update for a specific device in Windows 10? The updated driver for that device (Intel Management Engine Interface 11.x in particular) causes problems on some laptops during. The version 9.x works perfect.

I have Bluetooth headphones, and they were out of battery so I disconnected them. When I tried to reconnect later, they refused, so I tried turning the bluetooth off and on in Windows. When I turned it off, however, the button to turn it back on disappeared: Furthermore, the Bluetooth icon disappeared from the "hidden icons" in the task bar. I went to the Start menu and tried using Cortana to turn it back on, I typed "turn on bluetooth" and after a few seconds it said "Bluetooth is connected", and then another second later it says "Bluetooth setting cannot be changed". What is happening? How can I get my bluetooth toggle back? Should I try uninstalling the bluetooth driver and letting Windows reinstall it upon startup? EDIT: After restarting my computer, the Bluetooth driver is entirely missing. I will try restarting my computer to see if it reinstalls. EDIT 2: It did not reinstall. EDIT 3: I attempted to install Intel's drivers but they

We receive word documents from clients that will sometime contains Embedded Excel Object(sheet) and we need to convert them to word table so that we can then import the documents in InDesign properly. Importing the document directly in InDesign will unfortunately convert the table to images, but that not a solution because we need to be able to style them, thus why we need to convert them to word table first. The solution we are currently using is to open the Embedded Excel Object, select its content and paste it over it. I wouldn't be surprise if there would be a simpler way of doing this, so this is why I'm turning to you guys.

Where can I get the old repositories for Ubuntu versions? In my case, it's 9.04 Jaunty? I found all the official repositories and their mirrors have been removed. I am wondering where I can get the repository list for this version? Answer Your system is End-of-Line (EOL), therefore not officially supported. Unless you have a good reason for sticking with 9.04, upgrade to a newer version . 18.04 is the next long-term supported release for Ubuntu, which will continue to receive updates. To access old Ubuntu repositories, take a look at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ . There is also an official Ubuntu documentation for EOL upgrades They say you should be able to access your packages by putting the following into /etc/apt/sources.list . Important: Change CODENAME to your distribution's code name, e.g. jaunty . ## EOL upgrade sources.list # Required deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

I followed a lot of different tutorials to install Android_x86 on VirtualBox (actually I want to install Android on a virtual machine, so if you have alternatives, I'm interested), I followed its step by step, but when the installation is completed : the GUI won't start...

Here I have to change androidboot.hardware=android_x86 to androidboot.hardware=x86 but on my config I have androidboot.selinux=permissive The ISO I downloaded is android-x86_64-8.1-r1.iso from here and the version of VirtualBox is 6.0.2 r128162 (Qt5.6.3) If anybody can help me, thank in advance ! :D

For a TCP connection, when I remove the cable and reconnect after 30-40 seconds there is no packet loss issues. But when the reconnect time is more than a few minutes all the packets are lost. I know it works with the retransmission timer running out but I want to know what exactly goes about when a network cable is unplugged. Answer By definition on a layered model as OSI or TCP/IP each layer works independent and not-aware of the lower layers. When you remove the cable, it's a physical disruption ( layer 1 ), so almost inmediately ethernet ( layer 2 ) detects a loss of signal (if you're on Windows you will see the very dreaded pop-up informing network disconnected ) IP ( layer 3 ) and TCP ( layer 4 ) won't notice it, so they will try to keep on working. TCP won't break a established TCP connection during a period of time because when TCP sends data, it expects an ACK in reply and if it doesn't arrive within a period of time, it re-transmits the data. TCP will

Is it possible to restore an ubuntu guest vm to an earlier snapshot and keep home directory data from restoring? Or to say keep the user directory out of the system vdi to prevent data loss after screw a system? EDIT: I've tried write-through vdi on windows 7 guest earlier, but often randomly lost some new files and sometimes even old files corrupted. Have no idea it's a problem of Windows or Virtualbox. Answer Yes. When you create your VM you'll want to create a separate virtual disk for your home directory data. In the VirtualBox Virtual Media Manager (File -> Virtual Media Manager) find your home directory disk and select "Modify" and change the mode to "Writethrough". From the VirtualBox Manual : By contrast, write-through hard disks are completely unaffected by snapshots: their state is not saved when a snapshot is taken, and not restored when a snapshot is restored.

Can audio files in "nmf" format be converted to "wav" format? If so, what is the appropriate tool to do so? If it cannot be converted, then what is the workaround? Some sites on the net say that nmf files cannot be converted to other formats. Some claim that they have tools to convert. Our client has audio files in nmf format. We would get access to them only when we go to their site physically. But before we get there, we want to be sure that we can convert their nmf files to wav files as our software expects only files in wav format. It would be helpful if we can get some sample nmf files from somewhere or if we can generate nmf audio files ourselves so that we can test the conversion tool before we go the client site. Any suggestion most welcome.

How can I control which tabs are available to be opened in the MS Word 2010 ribbon? Under Word Options > Customize Ribbon > Main Tabs there are several groups checked (Blog Post, Insert (Blog Post), Outlining, Background Removal), but they don't appear on the ribbon even though there is space for them. How is one supposed to turn them on or get to them? The one in particular I'm after today is the Blog Post tab, which I know I can get to in a round about way via File > New > Blog Post Template . However I don't want a new post, rather an old one, which means File > New > Blog Post Template > Open existing > [select from list] > [close new blog post window] > [slap No I don't to save darn it] . Extra work for nothing is irritating; how do I get Blog Post (or Outlining or ...) to show up in that nice empty space next to AddIns ?

I am trying to know the first N1 number after the number: 9 I tried several ways but the result is not what I need. The expected result is: ID Date N1 2 DateTime 2 5 DateTime 3 9 DateTime 3 Answer You can use a Temp Table to hold the Id of the records where N1 is equal to 9 . You then select all the records from the Times table where the Id is what values are in the temp table plus one which is the very next record from the Id column the very ne

As many superusers are probably aware by now, svchost.exe is used by Microsoft to host multiple Windows services in a single process, with one process per service group. In Windows 7 (and later?), one can right click on a specific svchost.exe process in Task Manager and select "Go to service(s)" to see the services running "inside" it. Across all Windows versions, Process Explorer can also be used. However, this does not allow one to see e.g. which particular service is pinning the CPU at 100%, or using 700 MB of memory. One can manually stop services in the same group and use the process of elimination, but it's tedious, especially if the problem occurs only intermittently. Microsoft presumably has a good reason to group services like this (reducing the per-process overhead, perhaps?), but is there a way to force a specific service to run isolated in its own svchost.exe? Answer No, the proper way is to run this command: sc config wuauserv type= own this co

The Windows 8 Store application on my computer claims that my computer is not connected to the internet. My computer IS actually connected to the internet, but for some reason the store application can't seem to tell that my internet is working. I Know that the connection is not bad because I can browse the internet as per usual. Why is the store seemingly unable to use my computer's operable internet connection? The computer that i'm having this problem on is a Dell Inspiron 7720 laptop. It is new and came pre-loaded with this operating system (Windows 8) I Tried deleting and recreating the main user account on my computer, as well as disabling the firewall, but neither attempts fixed my problem. UPDATE I found, that the same situation is on my big computer. I just not thinking to use Store, so didn't noticed it. So, the suspect is my router configuration. It is D-Link DIR-615 I am using local accounts. DNS client service is running UPDATE 2 Switching to MS user accoun

I have a hard disk which has some bad sectors on it. And it said when I booted in Linux mint that I already need to replace the hard disk. But I don't have yet the money. I'm just a student. How do I do a low level format? What do I need to do before trying to do it?Is there a particular time span until all of the hard disk breaks down and lose all of my data wen it has already bad sectors on it? How long will a low-level format take, for a laptop with 2Ghz core 2 duo processor and 2Gb ram.

I record lots of personal HD film footage and am looking for a cheap way to store all of this. I take ~120 GB of footage each month, so something expandable would be nice... something that might be able to hold 6+ SATA drives. There is a low load requirement, as there is never more than a user or two... but it should be able to keep up with streaming 2 simultanious HD videos. I don't really want to spend more than $200-$300 on top of the $900 I am thinking of spending for 6X2TB SATA drives@ $150 apiece, but I am willing to pay extra for a quality solution. Should I get a cheap NAS server? a cheap multi-drive external enclosure? should I just get some used systems off craigslist? If it is an independent system I'll probably just throw ubuntu on it since I can maintain that well. Its easy to do a software raid from ubuntu too, if I choose to go that way. Thanks Answer Build a new computer. Your budget is too low for specialized hardware which is often overpriced because of its

I was wondering if it is possible to change the color of the output of a command in linux to a different color than that of the command line where I type in. It is som monotonous and hard to find where the output starts. like, @USER/Destop$ ----> blue /* -------------- output file in white ----------- */ Thanks Answer Not really; the color of a given program's output is controlled by the command, not by the terminal. That said, assuming your terminal understands ANSI escape codes for color (most do), you could use escape codes to set your desired prompt color at the beginning of the prompt, and your desired output color at the end; this would result in your command lines also being in whatever color you set for output, but that's probably about as close as you're going to get to what you're looking for. For example, the following: $ export PS1='\[\033[00;35m\]\u\[\033[00m\]@\[\033[00;35m\]\H\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[00;33m\]\W\[\033[00m\] \$\[\033[00;34m ' will g
