Hi all,

 

I've been trying to get something to work in WINE that is the only thing of mine that currently doesn't work under Linux. I have some other programs installed in WINE that run fine so I've ditched Windows. The one thing I haven't gotten to work is the Windows portion of GedStar Pro, a program which extracts the data from some genealogy files and creates a database that can be used as the input to a fantastic viewer - again Gedstar - on my Android devices. 

The program wouldn't even start until I installed the runtime package(s) for Microsoft Visual C++ for 2005, 2008 and 2010. This allowed the program to start. I also had to set the Wine configuration to Windows XP or a portion that let's you select the database to extract would fail. With that much done it will run and process and gedcom file. Trying to open one of the supported genealogy program's database files results in an error. It appears to need the Microsoft Access runtime but I haven't gotten it to work with the only ones I could find weren't just for 32-bit Windows like Windows XP. I've tried the 2010 version but it still fails. 

 

I have had email contact from the developer (the program is frozen and may disappear altogether) with the suspicion about needing some database runtime package(s) and was told that would make sense as that database is an Access compatible database. So, I've been trying to find a version of the Access runtime that is for 32-bit Windows, in particular Windows XP compatible with the hope it will work. Just given the error and when it occurs it has to be when the program first tries to connect/open the database file. I could really use some help on this if someone has experience getting programs to run in WINE. 

I've check the WineHQ site but can't find anything to help. It looks like I have gotten further with this than anyone has before. I feel like I am SO close. I had to use Windows XP in WINE or the database file selection doesn't allow me to even select the database for extraction. It will at least let me get that far using either Windows XP or Windows 2003 - but not higher - in the WINE config.

 

I know this is WINE "thing" but I'm hoping that it's ok to post this here and hope for help. If it makes any difference I'm running 64-bit Linux Sara.

 

Thank you!!

Dear Internet,

     I just installed Tomato firmware on my Buffalo Airstation G54 router.  My goal is to use it in wireless client mode to give wireless Internet access to an old PC that doesn't have a wireless card.  To that end I configured it according the directions at [Wifi-planet.com][1].  But it's not working.

The Tomato "status" is perpetually "Renewing..." and I can't access the Internet (see attached screen grab). You guys think you can tell me what I've done wrong?


Much thanks in advance!
-Robert

Hey guys, new member and def a noob linux user. 

I've tried asking on reddit but have had no real luck. 

Issue, ran out of space on Linux mint.  Was told to make a new partition and incorporate it into linux.  

Problem, Created a 200gig partition but can not move it to linux.  

 

Thanks 

 

Hello All,

 

I am new to this forum so apologies if this post is in the wrong section, i recently installed Ubuntu Server and had to get to grips with terminal i came across this guide and found it very helpful when nailing down the basics

Microsoft have just made PowerShell (a programming language developed by Jeffrey Snover and available in Windows 7, 8, 10 and other Windows operating systems) open source, and available to Linux and MacOS.

 

Wow !

 

<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_08_2016/post-1-0-88527200-1471554354.png" data-fileid="1409">[img]<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_08_2016/post-1-0-88527200-1471554354_thumb.png[/img]</a>

 

I use PowerShell at work to do many things, fixing problems and checking for particular settings, it's a really great programming language and anyone with a Windows computer (or now Linux or MacOS) can try it out.

 

It will be made available on GiThub (production version shipped in nano-server), one codebase that runs on Windows and Linux with all the benefits of open source.

From the very beginning PowerShell was very community focused which has driven it to this day. To learn more about this incredible news, watch this video on Channel 9.

Gabe Aul announced that there's a new insider preview available on the fast ring, and here’s what’s new in Build 14316

 

Run native Bash on Ubuntu on Windows: In this build, you can natively run Bash in Windows as announced last week at Build 2016. To do this, you first need to turn on Developer Mode via Settings > Update & security > For developers. Then search for “Windows Features” and choose “Turn Windows features on or off” and enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta). To get Bash installed, open Command Prompt and type “bash”. For more details, see this blog post.

Microsoft has just released System Center 2016 Technical Preview 2

 

and amongst the features it includes are native SSH support, yup that's right you can SSH in to your SCCM 2016 box !

 

<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_06_2015/post-1-0-64707500-1434148772.png" data-fileid="1408">[img]<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_06_2015/post-1-0-64707500-1434148772_thumb.png[/img]</a>

 

I'll test it shortly and report back, but this really is cool, cool to see Microsoft embracing other operating systems 'methods' of accessing systems and management, it would be like Linux starting to offer PowerShell in the kernel !

Hello,

 

I am new to Linux images (pxe, livecd). I would like to add files to a linux image, like something under etc or var, and have the files be available on the client.

The server I am working on was already configured with a pxe image, and only 2 files are present under the pxe client folder: initrd and vmlinuz. So I am wondering if either of these files contain the dirs /etc, /var, etc..., and how I could add files to them.

 

To give some background, I have done the same thing in Windows. An image in Windows is typically either boot.img or install.img. You can mount either of these to a folder using the Windows SDK tool imagex.exe /mountrw <img file> 1 <mount point>. From here you can add/remove/modify any files you want. Then commit the changes with imagex.exe /unmount <mountpoint> /commit.

 

Can someone provide insight to the linux image creation process, which of the files (initrd, vmlinuz/vmlinux, etc...) contain what for the client boot, or something similar to the Windows Image editing process?

 

Thanks,

Jon

I am building a new PC, if you want to see the specs. they're here : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HQkMgs

I was wondering, would it be possible to burn ubuntu, or any other linux OS onto a disc and treat it like a windows install and boot from disc, or would I have to do something completely different?
