Accessing root log-in credentials

2014-09-20 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi all

As part of the fix process for our mail system, I need to log into our machine 
as “root” I always thought that once at the log-in screen, you could simply use 
“Root” as the user ID, and “root” as the password.  Apparently, this isn’t the 
case any longer; although our old Snow Leopard machine does let me in that way.

How, then, does one enable root access?  This is something I need to do 
urgently, so a rapid response, possibly, off list, would be very much 
appreciated.

I’m clearly a little ring-rusty when it comes to my Unix/Linux skills, 
something I’n really going to have to brush up on.

Thanks.

Kind regards

Gordon

Hello everybody

I know this is a little late, but I’ve been so busy I can’t believe it.  
Anyway, I’ll put this up for download locally shortly and send the link to the

Subject: VMWare Does It Again!

Hello everybody

As you probably know by now if you have your finger on the pulse of 
virtualisation technologies, the battle of the giants is really hotting up now. 
 As somebody who is fortunate enough to be able to evaluate both Parallels 
Desktop 10 and Fusion Professional 7 in fully licensed modes, I can tell you 
that there is a really noticeable speed increase in both of these products with 
the release of Apple’s latest technologies and APIs build into the operating 
system to make it both Mavericks and Yosemite compatible.  I am currently 
running Windows 8.1 Professional under Fusion 7 and Lynne is as I write 
finishing off the setup of the sane operating system under Parallels.  By the 
way, we’re going to make it easy for anybody who wants to download the new 
evaluation of Fusion, if, that is, there’s any demand for it.  We will post it 
in an accessible place and let you grab it at your heart’s content.

That aside, I can honestly say that running Fusion now with this new version is 
just like running Windows in a native environment.  They’ve obviously done a 
lot of fine tuning and the result is staring me in the face right now.  And it 
honestly could not have come at a better time.  Just as we’re expanding what 
we’re offering to our clients and friends, (more about that soon), so this 
comes along.

Actually it was released on 2 September, but I just didn’t get around do doing 
anything about it until now.  All I can say is “Wow!”

Anybody want it made available for download?

Gordon

Re: VMWare Does It Again!

2014-09-20 Thread Gordon Smith
It still is, but I can use it. The way I do it is quite simple.  Lynne 
configured and set up a virtual machine.  All I do is click on the virtual 
machine (to which we have an alias) and it loads, simple as that. The nice 
thing about the Parallels interface is that there is no issue with the VM 
console getting in the way as there sometimes is with Fusion.

Re: VMWare Does It Again!

2014-09-20 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi Colin

Correct.  But as I indicated in a previous post, I can use Parallels too, once 
the VM is configured.  My better half configured it all for me, and just put an 
alias on our desktop.  And then, away we go.

Of course, I am comparing Fusion with Parallels 10 which is the current release.

Re: Fusion 7 Pro and Windows 8.1

2014-09-20 Thread Gordon Smith
Matthew

Whether necessary or not, this isn’t really the place to discuss Windows. We do 
run a sister group where that is permissible, of course.  Windows-Access would 
naturally bring one to assume same.

As it happens, I too must use that OS for work, but only for work related 
issues. I deliberately and very determinedly avoid it for my own computing 
purposes. Lynne, at work, is totally OS X. But she’s lucky, her small office 
does as she dictates, not as others do. She runs Parallels at home sometimes 
because yes there are still a small number of clients with whom she cannot 
communicate any other way than on MSN and we try to keep that off our Macs. We 
don’t use Adium any longer because we don’t really have a need for it. When we 
go on Twitter, now and then, there are dedicated clients for OS X and iOS so we 
don’t need Windows for that. Anyway, I am rambling.

Your default format should be fine, so I’d suspect you changed something when 
you burned the DVD. What did you expect to happen when you inserted it into 
your MacBook Pro? Are you not able to see the volume you burned at all?

Re: IOS 8 and Bluetooth keyboard

2014-09-20 Thread Sue Bernardo
Work arounds aside, it is a bug and Apple needs to be bugged to fix it.  
I did speak with the Apple engineer and he said that it will continue to 
be reported as a bug and likely will be fixed within one of the updates 
to iOS 8 that will be released in the next few weeks. I had the feeling 
that if there aren't enough people making noise about this the problem 
won't be brought to the top of the pile of problems. Also, as someone on 
this list pointed out, the bug has been reported in a beta cycle, so it 
isn't an unknown problem.  If noise isn't made it won't get resolved. 
Making noise on here or on Twitter is good to get the word out about the 
problem so that if people who make significant use of the keyboard don't 
want to be inconvenienced they can stick with iOS 7, but contacting 
Apple in your preferred manner and letting them know that making it 
inconvenient to use a Bluetooth keyboard is an unacceptable 
accessibility feature is also a good idea..  They seemed receptive to 
addressing user issues.


Cheers!

Hi, Gordon.  Unable to see the volume.  It
