Filling in a pDF form
by John G. Heim 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

I am looking for a recommendation on the best way to fill out a PDF form. I'm a Linux guy and what I usually do when I get a PDF document is to convert it to plain text. But I have this form I have to fill out and send back. I have access to Linux, Windows, Mac, and IOS. I tried just clicking on it in all 4 systems but what I got was either inaccessible or wouldn't let me make changes. - John G. Heim, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu 608-263-4189

Wireshark accesibility on Windows
by Steve Matzura 18 Aug '20

I haven't needed to use this application since version 2, so imagine my dismay when, after installing version 3.26, I couldn't even manipulate combo boxes for filters, or do much of anything with it. Any tips, techniques, tricks, or ideas for replacement software welcome.

Moving the list
by Andrew Hodgson 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Guys, As the main reason for keeping this server around has now gone as the client has moved elsewhere, I will look to move this list elsewhere and shut down lists.hodgsonfamily.org. I am probably going to choose Google Groups unless there is a reason anyone hates them with a passion. Thanks. Andrew.

setting USB first in bcd boot order
by David Mehler 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

Hello, I've got an asus Motherboard with UEFI. It's set to UEFI boot mode and I've disabled secure boot. I'm trying to get it to boot a Linux thumb drive and having no success. If I put in a windows talking PE and boot, pressing f8 (the key on my motherboard to bring up the UEFI boot menu), then when the menu comes up, down arrow three times, the windows PE loads and it will start talking. This was created with Rufus. If I try a Linux-created thumb drive, in this case Debian10 live, for example purposes, I put it in, f8, down arrow three times, enter, and nothing, no boot beep, no drum sound, nothing. What i'd like to do is set USB to be first in the f8 UEFI boot menu, I believe this requires altering the bcd. Can anyone confirm this and if so do you have a procedure? The ideal outcome is I put in any bootable thumb drive and start the system and it boots it. If there's no bootable thumb drive in the system the system goes to the second choice, win10. Thanks. Dave.

Microsoft Teams reading messages from webhook
by Andrew Hodgson 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hi guys, Trying to re-write some chat bots to work with Teams instead of Slack. I am using the simple incoming webhook with a standard json text payload. I can't seem to read the messages using the arrow keys with JFW. If I use arrow keys and press enter it does go into the message in order for me to reply, but it won't read the contents. I have managed to get JFW to announce that I am interacting with a card message, but never read the message out. Anyone else seen this? Thanks. Andrew.
