Email authentication problems, home pop3
by Barry Toner 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi, I've a machine here with a btinternet.com address, that has been spotty on authenticating for a few weeks. The wife to be finally got fed up and nabbed me to go fix. Here's what I've tried 1. Delete and re-enter the email account information. 2. Going online to change the account password. 3. Trying to re-enter the new account password. 4. Creating a new Outlook profile, and putting the email account into it. 5. For giggles using their ISP help software, and letting it automatically enter the information. it still fails on the pw authentication 6. Ringing the lovely people at the outsourced call centre. Explaining the above steps and having the guy go, "Uh" "Then having him change the pw". Still nothing working. Thoughts? Regards, Barry.

by Mgr. Janusz Chmiel 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

Dear advanced users, I would like to valuably and kindly ask You for advice. Does somebody of You know, if Windows8 developer release is supporting unattended mode like a Windows7? I Am very sad, because i have found out, that development release of Windows8 is not supporting fully unattended mode of Vmware player while choosing Windows7 operating system. BUt it is very probably true, that unattended mode will very probably be incorporated to The stable release of Windows8. I would also like to know, if newest vmwareplayer is supporting The Windows8 in fully unattended installation mode. Thank You very much. -- Mgr. Janusz Chmiel

by Mgr. Janusz Chmiel 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

Dear advanced users and developers, I have found out ammazing FTP server, which is containing all PC Linux releases, including live KDE, live Gnome, live Zen mini Gnome. I would like to inform YOu, that Pclinux is The best Linux distribution, which is supporting remastering of installed release, one of The Zen mini release is even supporting reliable system administration tasks support while running it, even if user is not running xserver as root user. This algorithms are for now only The part of Mandriva One, Ubuntu and also onlyone created PclinuxOS zen mini Gnome release. I will let You know which one is including this good accessibility support. Finish-install Perl script can be safely terminated after finishing installation, this Perl script can be finished safely from The running Gnome session. The best awailable PCLinux release have been The Zen mini Gnome 2009.1, ALSA sound server have been used, and eventhough professional accessibility settings were not enabled like in later releases, user was able to use Adobe flash player with Alsa support. If somebody would be able to incorporate newest Pclinux OS kernel to this old release, I AM convinced, that this distro would be excellent. The 2009.1 also included unique remastering script, which allowed users to specifi The target partition for creating remaster, so this distro could be remasterd even while using it in live CD mode from running live session, even with The computer with only 512 MB of RAM. I was even been able to use USB flash disk like a target partition by using remastering script. I do not know about other distribution, which can do this and is fully accessible for visually impaired users. I have A special suggestion for advanced Linux kernel developer. Who of us would try to incorporate Speakup to one of The Pclinuxos kernel? -- Mgr. Janusz Chmiel

remote access to a linux box
by David Mehler 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello, I know about ssh, in fact that's how I usually access a linux machine remotely. That's cli based, I'm wondering if it's possible to do it via the GUI? Is something like vnc workable? I know it isn't on a windows machine, or some other method of access? In this case I'm using a Vinux VM with Orca. Thanks. Dave.

Unassisted linux install?
by Scott Granados 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi, So I have a Dell 1950 server. Are there any methods for unattended or unassisted install for blind users of Linux, specifically CentOS? What’s the latest? Can I use a serial cable with the Dell and do a console install? I don’t have a kickstart server in place else this would be simple. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Scott

text processing on web pages
by David Mehler 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hello Everyone, I've got what I suspect to some of you will seem a trivial problem, but I'm not good with Perl, regular expressions, or pattern matching which is what I'm suspecting this one is going to take, though time wise running it should be quick enough. Here's the situation. I need to look at various files for the web, in this case css style sheet files, in them they have styles not used on any page so I want to remove the style in question. I've got several style sheet files, several sites to do this to, and several pages though a majority of them are quite similar. For example, some sheets have the <blockquote> tag in it, and a style set up for that. What I want to do is take each individual style I'll use blockquote and scan the pages of the site, if that isn't found on any page remove it from the sheet. The hard part comes in when dealing with contextual selectors and classes, but the same thing, scan each page for the contextual selector, ID, or class in question from the sheet, if found even on one page out of the whole site leave it alone, if no pages have that particular item remove it. I need this done for all pages, all sheets, and all sites. I can do this, if someone can get me started, and would be willing to help out with questions as I'm sure there will be some, I've tried reading about Perl regular expressions and my head hurts. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
