    Folks, in principle it works exactly the same as I once explained it for Russian using Win2000 in one of our tips:

    And Blue has the right nose with the selection "Central European". Only then is the Polish keyboard driver available in the language selection.

  • Let strangers surf the web on WiFi?

    Hello don @ lexXx

    1. How safe is it? After all, I don't know what he's doing with Internet access and what kind of pages he's going to visit or what things he's going to download.

    This is less a question of safety than of legal liability for possible offenses. More on this below.

    Quote

    2. Do I suffer from speed when he surfs?

    Yes and no. Whether it is enough for both depends entirely on what you do with your connection. But a 12000 line can withstand a lot. There is also a workaround that works well if you have access to fl4l realize (which I would recommend): With the optional QOS package, you can determine for yourself what percentage of the bandwidth the individual co-users are granted when the bandwidth is fully used. Reply packets can also be prioritized automatically so that connection interruptions due to overload can be excluded.

    Quote

    3. Does it get its own IP address? Example: He does illegal things with his account. Can it be proven that this was done with his PC, or does it all fall back on the name of the internet owner, i.e. on me?

    As cucoo already wrote, he does not get a separate public IP (of course he has his own internally in your intranet). But that's not a problem, because in the event of misuse you can of course prove which PC has established the connection to a website. After all, you operate the router and can have the appropriate connection logs created (fli4l can do that), which you keep. You will of course notify your tenant in advance.

    Quote

    4. Can he then access my PC?

    No, if you configure everything correctly, he has no way of accessing your computer. He can't see what you're doing on the internet either. (If you as a router administrator are malicious, however, you can see what he is doing : Twisted:. His risk.) The safest and with little additional cost would be to hang it in a different subnet and use a separate network or WiFi card for it in the fli4l router.

    The best way to find out more about the legal situation in Germany is to contact phoneros or free radio researching. Both of these are similar to your project, with one major difference: There, complete strangers can use the connection, but you only want to make it available to a tenant who is known by name. I don't see a problem if you do it right. The nice thing about it: you can share the costs :D

    My tip: you know your tenant, you have finally chosen him for your house. You know best if you want to take the risk with him, because a certain risk always remains. However, I consider the precautions described to be justifiable in any case.

  • WLAN + repeater

    Quote from cut_throat

    The second AP is connected to the family's "main computer" via a LAN cable!

    So is the "main computer" responsible for the further distribution of the data packets?

    Why don't you just connect the WLAN receiver (eg a simple stick) to the "main computer" via USB, for example? This can be done directly up to a distance of 5 m, and up to 30 m via a USB hub cascade. Or you can give the "main computer" a WLAN card and connect an antenna cable to the cheapest reception point. In any case, both allow you full encryption with WPA or WPA2

    Anyway, I just don't see why you absolutely want a repeater with the described constellation, given the disadvantages already described by Mike.

  • Automatic stop and start before and after standby

    • 19. September 2008 01 to: 56

    I'm also at a loss: How does a script recognize when the hibernation was ordered and when the device wakes up again (and has not just completed a normal system start)? Exactly for this part of the task I had thought of the hibernate trigger, which then starts the scripts (which can otherwise look like your example). Is there really a way to read this directly at the script level to avoid installing this utility? I mean, we're talking about Windows, not Linux :D ... Is there perhaps a system variable that you can simply query? In any case, it is possible, because somehow Nate DeSimone finally managed it ...

    Nate DeSimone's Hibernate trigger should solve your problem.
    Hibernate trigger

    To do this, write two batch files or Windows macros that you enter as targets in the Hibernate trigger. With one file you end all services that should be deactivated before the sleep state, and with the other you start them again.

    Fn + sounds like a notebook. These buttons should work there even if no operating system is running. So take a look in the BIOS to see if anything has been adjusted or deactivated there.

    Under Lnux, I would now recommend using xbindkeys -mk to check whether the operating system even receives a key code from the hardware, which would then be displayed in "raw form" as text. Then you know where to look further, with the hardware, the drivers or the software configuration ...
    For Windows, however, I can't think of anything similarly useful for the analysis. Maybe someone else knows something, maybe from the MS SDK's.

  • xp dual boot set up correctly?

    • Spark pluck
    • 12. September 2008 01 to: 27

    It suddenly occurs to me: There is a nasty registry hack:
    Go to the key

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Policies / Explorer

    and create a new DWORD value with the nice name No Drives

    You then assign a hexadecimal value to this new entry:

    Hidden drive ................... HEX value

    A ....... 1
    B ....... 2
    C ....... 4
    D ....... 8
    E ....... 10 (hex value for decimal 16)
    F ....... 20 (hex value for decimal 32)
    etc

    If you want to hide several drives, you simply add the numbers, but watch out, you have to calculate in hexadecimal. That means: To hide the drives C and D, for example, you would have to c enter as a value, because 8 (hex) +4 (hex) = c (hex); For drives B, C, and D the value would be e. To hide E and F you wear 30 one. If you are not used to it, it is better to use Windows' own pocket calculator, which can do hex arithmetic.

    Be careful in the registry! With all changes previously make a backup.

    The whole thing is of course also easy with TweakUI for XP or via the policies with Poledit: D.

    Alternatively, with XP-Pro you can also use the access rights (deactivate simple file sharing under Folder Options -> View) so that access to individual drives is no longer possible for normal users.

    And finally there is third party software that hides entire partitions or drives, e.g. HideCalc - A Tool for Hiding Drives

    Now you only have to hide the "correct" drives in the respective Windows.

  • Remove the Google Chrome ID number

    • Spark pluck
    • 8. September 2008 03 to: 41

    Dear Cuckoo, Chrome creates a temporary file when the file "Local State"is write-protected, and then writes its ID in there and keeps it. So you have to also use this file ("LocalState.tmp") modify accordingly and also assign the write protection attribute if you don't want to have a permanent ID.

    Quite a lot of fiddling, and what exactly are you doing that for? If I want to surf the Internet without revealing my data, then it is definitely not with a google product ...

    These code pages are no longer relevant in current operating systems (except for the "Command Prompt" aka "DOS Box", because everything is coded in Unicode according to ISO 10646 (utf-7,8,16,32). That's why you need since Windows NT also no longer has to change a code page if you need a different character set (exception of course: the DOS environment).

    It is worth mentioning in this context that not all programs use a filenames get along in foreign character sets. While the Windows Explorer, for example, can handle file names that contain Cyrillic characters under Win2000 without any problems, these cannot be opened in numerous (even current) programs ... Apparently the programmers slipped away. Fortunately, simply renaming it helps. In contrast, the files are usually relatively unproblematiccontent, these can usually also be processed if they contain foreign characters. In the worst case, these are then just displayed as placeholders or question marks.

    Btw, with iconv From the Unix world, problems with character encoding can also be easily solved in Windows, which can occur when one has to process files whose code page does not match the one used by the system.

    What you need is the Czech keyboard layout in Windows. It should be possible to activate this (if provided by Microsoft) in the same way as we have described it here for the Russian (Cyrillic character set):

    With the toggle switch in the system area of ​​the control and quick launch bar, you can then switch between the German and Czech assignment of your keyboard, and if you know the arrangement of the special characters in the Czech layout by heart, you do not need to use the mouse keyboard either.

  • Looking for a customizable backup program

    • 22. August 2008 17 to: 50

    The console command, for example, is suitable for backing up your MBR dd, available in any live Linux (e.g. Sidux, Knoppix, Sabayonlinux ...)

    Backup of the master boot record of a hard disk:

    dd if = / dev / hda of = hda.mbr count = 1 bs = 512

    Recovery of the master boot record of a hard drive:

    dd if = / mnt / backup / hda.mbr of = / dev / hda bs = 512 count = 1

    Instead of / dev / hda you must of course use the actual name of your hard drive in the respective system, that is

    hda (master disk on primary controller)
    hdb (slave on primary controller)
    hdc (master disk on secondary controller)
    hdd (slave on secondary controller)

    If you use SCSI or SATA disks, it says accordingly
    sda, sdb, sdc, sdd

    The file hda.mbr in the register / mnt / backup After executing the backup command, it contains your 512-byte master boot record and should be kept in a safe location. The directory must of course exist or be mounted, otherwise you specify a different path as the target for the backup, eg / home / / Desktop

    Attention, do not mix up hard drives, otherwise the wrong MBR will be overwritten quickly and irretrievably ...

    The error messages indicate a problem with the detection of the El Torito formats Your CD's. If they can be read on other computers without any problems, I would suspect the CD drive from which you are trying to boot. Vista shouldn't be able to plug into it, after all, that's why you're booting from CD so as not to access the hard drive's bootloader. Are all BIOS settings that determine the boot sequence correct? If your HDD is entered as the first boot medium, the Vista boot loader will be active and take control of what you can and cannot start. Otherwise, think about a dirty lens. It happens that only some CD's can no longer be read correctly, while others always have no problems. Internal error correction has its limits.

    I recommend for such cases "Hiren's bootdisk".

    If you can't find anything with the tools gathered on it, your chances are really bad. You can find everything described on Hiren's page:
    Hard Drive Data Recovery using Freeware Programs »Page 1 - www.hiren.info
    (Note the "Next" button at the bottom of each page!)

    There you can also find out how to get to Hiren's infamous boot disk:
    Create Ms-Dos BootCD - Hiren's Bootable CD - www.hiren.info

    After that, you would only have paid special software from the relevant commercial data rescuers.

    But what you can do in advance with a view to the data to be rescued:
    Knoppix in again, with the order dd Create a bit-accurate image of the entire (!) hard drive on the console on a second, completely empty hard drive (or in a backup file on another hard drive, even on another computer via the network), on which you can then safely experiment with all sorts of tools . If it goes wrong, you can simply create a new working copy with dd. It is important to back up the whole hard drive and not just the partition, because the old partition you are concerned with no longer exists (but the individual bits on the data carrier that were once the partition you want to restore do exist).

    How does dd work? Look here: How to Backup and Restore Your Linux Hard Drive - Missouri State Technology Wiki

    And here.
    dd invocation - GNU Coreutils

    It doesn't matter whether you had a Windows, Linux or other partition on the disk; dd simply reads and writes every single (binary) zero and one on the disk, including faulty structures and structures not recognized by the file system.

    Good luck!

  • Switch off fan on standby?

    • Spark pluck
    • 22. August 2008 02 to: 10

    Mike has already explained it perfectly: If your fan control is not as PWM is working, the speed is controlled by simply reducing the voltage. That means then: There is no 12V, but maybe 5V or 8V, which can be steplessly increased to 12V if necessary. Your 12V fan could handle a voltage of 10-13V. You can see for yourself why it could be.
    You also write that you can only set the speed as soon as the fan is running, i.e. after you have pushed it by hand. If the fan does not have a problem (bearing damage or resinified), this indicates that there is not enough voltage when switching on. I suspect that the control system deliberately applies a very low voltage when it is switched on in order to enable a smooth start-up, normally the computer is then still cold and the full cooling capacity is not yet required. It would be stupid if a hurricane was generated when switching on and then turned down afterwards.

    Conclusion: control and fan do not match. Either get a controller that matches your fans, or fans that match your controller.

    Good luck

  • After switching from VistaAero to Standard, hardly anything can be seen

    Hi Andreas!

    Are you talking about (multisync) analog or digital monitors?

    Digital monitors (like special fixed-frequency analog monitors) require a certain resolution in order to be able to display cleanly. Everything else is calculated with moderate success and therefore blurred. So first compare the resolution set for each monitor in Aero with that in the standard display.

    However, if you use analog multisync monitors, it could be that the standard setting has an incorrect or unfavorable refresh rate or even line interlacing.

    In any case, first take a look at the driver settings for standard display, they probably differ from those for aero display.
