by David Mehler 22 Apr '18

Hello, I am trying to get a Lenovo laptop to boot off of a thumb drive, which is not working. The system is in UEFI mode and has secure boot on. If anyone has a Lenovo is there a way I can turn one or both of these temporarily off so I can boot from thumb drive and reinstall win10? Thanks. Dave.

If I'm not sure whether I can connect to a host at a low level, I start with a ping command, then if that succeeds, move to higher-level protocols. I think the error message is indicative in this case, but where it isn't, I find the above procedure useful.

I would look at your Apache logs to see if the request is hitting the server you believe it should be hitting, and if so then what the issue is on that server in Apache itself which is stopping the default document from coming up.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Outbound SMTP from Microsoft Outlook for Mac
by Jason White 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

For the record, I debugged the SMTP transaction today and solved it. It appears that Microsoft Outlook for Mac doesn't support the "plain" authentication method for outbound SMTP/SASL connections, even though it's fine for IMAP. Changing the authentication mechanisms in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf to auth_mechanisms = plain login fixed it. On 2/13/18, 20:05, "Blind-sysadmins on behalf of Jason White via Blind-sysadmins" <blind-sysadmins-bounces(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org on behalf of blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> wrote: This is mildly interesting: I have a Postfix server configured to offer SASL on port 587. Dovecot is providing the SASL support. Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac fails to send messages out via my server, reporting that it doesn't support any of the available authentication methods. Meanwhile, Microsoft Outlook for Windows can send messages via the server without any difficulties. I've played with configuration settings, but with no luck. If I try to enable logging on Outlook for Mac, various operations (including, crucially, creating a new message) become unavailable, and it never seems to finish reading the inbox. Without logging enabled, it's able to read IMAP folders fine. This doesn't really matter - I have plenty of other ways of sending mail, even when using the Mac, but if anyone here has clues about the mystery, I would be interested. It's worth noting that Outlook 2016 for Mac works reasonably well with VoiceOver. Unfortunately, it doesn't implement equivalents to many of the keyboard shortcuts (especially for commands in the ribbon) found in the Windows version. Thus, for example, changing to a different folder is a slow process - I haven't found a faster method than scrolling through the list with cursor keys. Nevertheless, someone at Microsoft has evidently been paying attention to its accessibility, and that's a positive development. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins

setting up raid
by David Mehler 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hello, I'm going to be getting some hard drives soon. I'd like to raid them. I will have three drives each 4TB in size. My motherboard does do raid 0,1,5,and I think 10, system running win10 x64. I am wondering if there's an accessible way to set up redundant raid with these drives? Thanks. Dave.
