Re: dd cloning a Win10 HDD to SSD

I don't know if dd works. I've done this several times using freely available utilities.  In one case I tried and it failed.  I simply used a different utility and it worked.  I was impressed with the results, particularly with dramatically improved boot times. Sorry to be vague. You were askin

Re: Weird keyboard problems....

In my experience it's usually caused by "stuff" in the keyboard. A crumb, a hair, who knows. The most effective fix is to stand the keyboard, or in this case the whole laptop, up sideways... So that the long side points straight up. Then gently tap or slap the bottom of the laptop a bunch of

Re: Networking Question

Thank you Ben, and all who responded. Yes, that was the overwhelming consensus, the single router/firewall solution feeding two gateways. It makes perfect sense. Have a great weekend. Greg On 11/7/2015 9:40 PM, Ben Scott wrote: > On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Greg Kettmann wrote: >

SHORT VERSION - Would a Networking expert mind giving me a call (or I can call them) to discuss the best way to have two ISP's, on my home network, with the ability to easily switch back and forth? Greg Kettmann (603) 496-6071 LONG VERSION - Thanks in advance for any help. I'm n

File Sharing Permissions

Would someone be willing to walk me through differences between (old) MS CIFS/SMB file sharing permissions and more current *nix/Samba permissions? I've used both extensively, although I "cheat" on the Samba, since it's at home and security is not really an issue (so I don't use any). While d

Re: Files <-> Samsung Galaxy S4

I have an S4, also for work. I use ES File Explorer File Manager. It's a file browser to see all the files on my phone. It also supports the network so, when I'm home, I can also look at the LAN, and my local file shares, and move or copy files around. Not an automatic procedure but very eff

VPN only session.

Is there a way, in Linux, to make a VPN the "primary" connection? I work remotely several days a week, as many of us do. Most of my experience is Windows with moderate skills in Linux but work/connectivity is generally through Linux. I have a VPN connection for work (PPTP / CHAP as best I ca

Re: Thinkpad repair?

I worked for IBM for 30 years and started in service. My family has many Thankpads. With appropriate parts I do repairs myself. Two things. 1) Parts are usually prohibitively expensive. You can often do web searches and find discount parts but that's hit or miss. 2) Lenovo seems to still

I think that would be a great idea and the location is convenient. I've been reading the MythTV mailing list for several months and have been collecting components (and my thoughts). I'd be interested to know what your recommendations would be, particularly for the capture card (PCR-150?) and

Travis: I don't have a specific answer for you.  However, I've done a lot of video editing, on Windows, and Video/Audio loss of synch is a very common problem, even for commercially available software.  It's similar to what you described, more of a "creep" than anything.  It starts small and ge

On refilling: I have an HP PSC 1350.  It uses ...56 and ...57 cartridges, which I refill.  It has a very annoying habit of being very erratic and then failing shortly after I get messages about low ink levels.  I fill the cartridges four or five times during their expected life so they are alwa

OT- Comcast Subscriber Agreement

Sorry if this is somewhat off topic.  Perhaps it's not since it involves Linux and NAT.   I have many friends using "Broadband Routers" that I've set up.  As I imagine we all know these allow one machine to act like a proxy for a group of other machines.  (Yes, I know it's technically not a pro
