| shadash | single quote around the statement? |
|---|
| shadash | is there some kind of escape character/s? |
|---|
| shadash | I think ^ |

| Patje | Ugh mgolisch, it only displays drivers that are not compatible with my pc (that's what windows says, at least) |
|---|
| Patje | I attempted to load one of them but it returns an error |
|---|
| vitaly | guys i got some background for windows and it made all icons and icons fonts not transparent anymore |
|---|
| vitaly | all icons are like in this blue ugly box |
|---|
| vitaly | i searched in google about it, they say like remove shadows in fonts under my_computer > properties > advanced > performance > etc |
|---|
| vitaly | but it doesn't work |
|---|
| mgolisch | Patje: hm strange |
|---|
| vitaly | anyone else ran into that with windows xp backgrounds? |
|---|
| Patje | I'll try to install from USB again. |
|---|
| Patje | It would be USB-FDD right :P |
|---|
| Patje | Or is fdd floppy |

| malikcpp | hi everybody ! |
|---|
| malikcpp | is it possible to pipe all the data an application is downloading from the net ?? |
|---|
| malikcpp | i mean within a program |
|---|
| Lex_Talionis | what do you mean by "pipe" |
|---|
| Lex_Talionis | pipe typically refers to forwarding logs or results to a log of some kind |
|---|
| malikcpp | sorry for my vocabulary but in other terms i want to get all these informations |
|---|
| Lex_Talionis | malikcpp, if you want to capture all the information an application is downloading use a packet sniffer like wireshark...i cant teach you how to use or interpret wireshark you'll have to learn about that yourself |
|---|
| malikcpp | i know this program but is there any wireshark api or sthing like it for developping an application ? because i dont really want to do all from begining with basics sockets in c ... |
|---|
| malikcpp | maybe i should search first on the net ... but thx for your help Lex_Talionis ;) |
|---|
| Lex_Talionis | malikcpp, good approace/question I honestly dont know if they supply thier api |
|---|
| mgolisch | malikcpp: winpcap? |
|---|
| mgolisch | iam quite sure they use that for the actualy capturing |
|---|
| malikcpp | winpcap ? thx mgolisch let's see |
|---|
| malikcpp | yet these programs can only filter type of packages and not what application is requesting these packages ... |
|---|
| m00se | that's for internet packets |
|---|
| m00se | I'm suspecting that you don't want that pgm |
|---|
| m00se | your question is so vague that it's impossible to tell you where to find what you're looking for |
|---|
| m00se | "an application" is not enough information |
|---|
| malikcpp | i mean a running process ... an exe file ... i dont know how to be more precise |
|---|
| m00se | but you aren't telling us what data you want - you can use a pgm like procmon.exe that will give you a LOT of information, in real time, that tells you what every process on your computer is doing |
|---|
| m00se | http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx |
|---|
| m00se | is that what you need? |
|---|
| jimcooncat | maybe he wants to tee the download |
|---|
| m00se | that's not what he's saying |
|---|
| m00se | <malikcpp> i mean a running process ... an exe file |
|---|
| m00se | how do you gather that from his statement? |
|---|
| m00se | he wants internal process information |
|---|
| m00se | procmon is one tool that's free, that does it |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | when will windows become open source? |
|---|
| m00se | it is! |
|---|
| malikcpp | do you know IVAO ? if you dont it's a virtual aviation organisation which promote simulation of ATC (controlling) and flight |
|---|
| m00se | it happened this morning - how bout that huh? |
|---|
| m00se | your lucky day! |
|---|
| malikcpp | i want to test a program which is a automatic flight controller .. but all programs which want access to data can only download it 1 time per minute (only validated programs can download it when it want to) |
|---|
| malikcpp | and they are of course validated programs and i want to get from them the data they have downloaded |
|---|
| malikcpp | m00se: i think i could not be more precise |
|---|
|
|
| malikcpp | was i clear ? |
|---|
| m00se | I'm still parsing |

| melodie_ | hello |
|---|
| melodie_ | :) |
|---|
| KalmVsKhaos | hi |
|---|
| melodie_ | hi KalmVsKhaos |
|---|
| KalmVsKhaos | :D |
|---|
| m00se | so you want to eavesdrop on an internet stream of data that isn't directed to your machine, but another on the internet - correct so far? |
|---|
| melodie_ | I'm coming for an advice, it's about restoring a windows image from clonezilla |
|---|
| melodie_ | do someone have some experience with that ? |
|---|
| melodie_ | I had come here when I wanted to do the backup, now there are 2 possibilities I can use, I'm not sure which one is the most relevant :) |
|---|
| melodie_ | anyone uses Clonezilla to backup his systems ? |
|---|
| jgornick | Has anyone ever experienced an issue where I have XP SP3 and join a domain, add a domain group to the local Administrators group, then log back in with the local administrator account and don't have permissions to run like an IE7 or IE8 install or re-install SP3? |
|---|
| m00se | melodie_ which 2? |
|---|
| m00se | I've used clonezilla once or twice |
|---|
| m00se | certainly no expert with it but I am familiar with it a little bit |
|---|
| melodie_ | m00se, |
|---|
| melodie_ | I want to restore the boot of Windows, but for this I have only 2 possibilities : |
|---|
| melodie_ | either restore the whole drive, or restore partitons, but it seems it only offers to restore the partitions and not the mbr |
|---|
| melodie_ | I guess I'd better restore the whole suff :) |
|---|
| m00se | yep |
|---|
| melodie_ | that's a netboot and I use Clonezilla live booted from Grub on the pendrive |
|---|
| m00se | you have to restore how you imaged though |
|---|
| melodie_ | connected with ssh to the desktop where the backup is stored |
|---|
| melodie_ | m00se, allright, I get that |
|---|
| m00se | if you only imaged a partition I don't think that includes the mbr |
|---|
| melodie_ | in what Clonezilla sees as "one image" there are several files, among which "sda-mbr" and other named "partition-this", "partition-that"... |
|---|
| m00se | then you're in luck |
|---|
| m00se | :-) |
|---|
| melodie_ | is that so ? |
|---|
| melodie_ | well now it's looking for a directory that don't exit |
|---|
| m00se | let's hope so anyway |
|---|
| m00se | I have had mixed luck with that pgm |
|---|
| melodie_ | I will have to create /home/partimag it seems |
|---|
| m00se | unfortunately I can't recommend it 100% |
|---|
| m00se | it's hosed a couple of my images in the past |
|---|
| m00se | without warning |
|---|
| reisio | what has? |
|---|
| melodie_ | what is "hose" ? |
|---|
| melodie_ | rotten ? |
|---|
| m00se | just didn't include all of the files and formats that it was supposed to |
|---|
| reisio | melodie_: boned, b0rked, corrupted |
|---|
| m00se | yes, bad |
|---|
| reisio | destroyed |
|---|
| m00se | wrecked, destroyed |
|---|
| reisio | unw00ted |
|---|
| m00se | worthless |
|---|
| melodie_ | reisio, ah ok |
|---|

| SP1 | hi reisio |
|---|
| m00se | clonezilla reisio |
|---|
| SP1 | hi m00se |
|---|
| reisio | figured :) |
|---|
| m00se | HI |
|---|
| SP1 | hi |
|---|
| reisio | doesn't clonezilla use dd? |
|---|
| m00se | probably |
|---|
| reisio | only all the steps are obfuscated, so you can only use clonezilla to get it back? |
|---|
| m00se | gentoo-based |
|---|
| SP1 | what is clonezilla |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | is windows debian-based or redhat-based? |
|---|
| reisio | http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html |
|---|
| reisio | bilalakhtar: :p |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | or freebsd-based? |
|---|
| m00se | bilalakhtar - OS/2 |
|---|
| SP1 | windows is ms based |
|---|
| reisio | bilalakhtar: it's a cross between DOS-based and OpenVMS-based |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | no, its MAC-BASED! |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | lol |
|---|
| m00se | reisio - she's got an image already |
|---|
| reisio | don't they all |
|---|
| m00se | not THAT kind of image |
|---|
| Snares | bilalakhtar: You're right, though :) |
|---|
| Snares | bilalakhtar: But Mac is Xerox based so... |
|---|
| reisio | m00se: don't they all |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | Snares: I don't understand why this channel id here |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | *is |
|---|
| HentaiPCBSD | for help |
|---|
| reisio | bilalakhtar: what do you understand? |
|---|
| SP1 | how is windows os/2 based? |
|---|
| HentaiPCBSD | read topic bilalakhtar |
|---|
| HentaiPCBSD | SP1: it isn't |
|---|
| SP1 | thank you |
|---|
| reisio | SP1: insofar as it isn't |
|---|
| HentaiPCBSD | also it depends on windows you are talking about |
|---|
| SP1 | any windows |
|---|
| Ragenix | WindOS/2. |
|---|
| Ragenix | Or DOS/2. |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | reisio: but isn't it wierd for windoze users to come on irc to ask questions? |
|---|
| SP1 | insofar? reisio |
|---|
| SP1 | bilalakhtar this is the chat room for windows users to ask questions in |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | I also don't understand why windows exist. I mean the physical windows in a house |
|---|
| SP1 | the pc wouldnt be what it is today with out microsoft making windows |
|---|
| eightfold | seriously, is there a way to get rid of the light blueness that is everywhere i w7? |
|---|
| HentaiPCBSD | bilalakhtar: enough with the trolling |
|---|
| Brimstar | eightfold: Change themes? I've got grays |
|---|
| bilalakhtar | HentaiPCBSD: fine, i will leave with a troll |
|---|
| reisio | bilalakhtar: not as weird as it'd be for them not to |
|---|
| eightfold | Brimstar: yes, i've changed theme, but that only changes the window borders? |
|---|
| rjk | classic mode |
|---|
| eightfold | eh, so you have to turn off aero to truly affect colors? |
|---|
| eightfold | or else it is light blue? |
|---|
| SP1 | classic mode will make your windows look plain and borind |
|---|
| Brimstar | Advanced appearance settings possibly? Never really looked for it |
|---|
| SP1 | eightfold what version windows os |
|---|
| eightfold | Window Color nd Apperance isn't affected |
|---|
| eightfold | SP1: ultimate |
|---|
| SP1 | you mean 7? |
|---|
| eightfold | SP1: yes |
|---|
| eightfold | and yeah, they seem to have hard coded that fugly light blueness into standard apps like calc.exe |
|---|
| SP1 | i dont know about vista or windows 7. i have xp pro with sp2 update |
|---|
| eightfold | wordpad etc |
|---|
| eightfold | even changing to classic doesn't help |
|---|
| SP1 | did you google the problem to see if others have it? |
|---|
| m00se | classic is blue |
|---|
| SP1 | and on xp classic theme is grey everything |
|---|
| eightfold | m00se: no, you can use "Window Color and Appearance"in classic and chose whatever color you like |
|---|
| eightfold | SP1: classic uses same rgb numbers in w7 as in xp it seems |
|---|
| SP1 | hmmm... i dont know anything bout that |
|---|
| SP1 | all i know when you turn on xp's classic theme it looks ugly |
|---|
| eightfold | i'm probably alone with this, but i kinda hate that kindergarten blue |
|---|
| SP1 | mine is xp theme right now? |
|---|
| Arrick | gads I hate windows delayed write |
|---|
| Arrick | i have a TB of info lost because of it |
|---|
| eightfold | ok, i see now it really is blue and can't be changed |
|---|
| reisio | Arrick: yeah, that's annoying |
|---|
| eightfold | good job |
|---|
| SP1 | what is delayed write? |
|---|
| reisio | when it says it's done writing, but isn't |
|---|
| SP1 | ok |
|---|
| reisio | also known as 'not-write' |
|---|
| reisio | or 'not right' |
|---|
| reisio | :p |
|---|
| SP1 | here i just wait untill i dont hear any hd noise and the hd light is stopped flashing |
|---|
| rjk | you could monitor with perfmon too |
|---|
| SP1 | or you could brab a program that shows on your desktop when the drive is working |
|---|
| SP1 | grab* |
|---|
| m00se | or you could just turn the write behind off |
|---|
| m00se | or you could just throw it out the window and hit a puppy with it |
|---|
| MaxHR | Hello, I have some mov files I need to convert to avi/xvid to play on a Divx capable Toshiba dvd player, any suggestions for best audio/video settings to ensure it will play smoothly? |
|---|
| SP1 | brb |
|---|
| reisio | MaxHR: you have a hardware DVD player that plays AVI files? Neat |
|---|
| reisio | MaxHR: WinFF or HandBrake |
|---|
| MaxHR | reisio: yeah, its old, got it from costco about 2 years ago |
|---|
| reisio | costco, those fiends |
|---|
| MaxHR | I am using MediaCoder as the conversion program |
|---|
| reisio | k |
|---|
| reisio | by default most programs do not select the highest quality preservation settings |
|---|
| Marupa | In linux, there's a plugin for Compiz called maximumize, which lets you tile all windows to available space on the screen. Is there such a program for windows? |
|---|
| reisio | as transcoding and preserving quality exactly tends to create enormous files |
