Irazmus

And it's already been tagged for deletion. You'd almost think someone doesn't like us T_T

The login screen and desktop background can be done using bginfo (See this thread amongst others), but as for the screensaver, I'll have to leave that to someone else

The last two non-IT jobs I applied for were paramedic and a CNC police officer (Civil Nuclear Constabulary), didn't get very far through either process unfortunately. As for jobs on the side, I do a bit of web design/development work for a couple of organisations, some paid, some not.

Our lot would also appreciate a vote or two ^^ http://www.josephchoirsearch.co.uk/auditions/target/1043

I have recently been told by a supplier that stacking switches using a backplane is old-hat and that the current practice is to stack using the Gig uplinks. Is this true, and if you were installing a new network which would you choose?

Exactly. We had a drive fail in our SIMS server last week and no-one even noticed (Except the librarian who was deafened by the Raid card's fault warning ^^; )

After 7 months you'd think they could at least get it to validate. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnewtown.epowys.net%2F http://www.contentquality.com/mynewtester/cynthia.exe?rptmode=2&url1=http%3A%2F%2Fnewtown.epowys.net%2F Also for comparisson our VLE (Which has little content and no-one uses. Ever..) http://smsnet.stowmarketmiddle.suffolk.sch.uk/

Ergo ( http://www.ergo.co.uk/products/securedesk/ ) also do something similar but they're rather expensive.

IIRC it was a video of how to open a Kensington key lock (without damaging it) using only a biro and a loo roll.

They had a few of those running as a net cafe at BETT. Wish I'd got more info from them now

Setting ldap_creators seems to override the manual assignment. Try removing it.

OK, drive replaced and the array is recovering Thanks for all the help and advice, it was invaluable. I think I owe you both a drink at the next conference ^^ sudo mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Sat Sep 23 22:20:25 2006 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 937705728 (894.27 GiB 960.21 GB) Device Size : 312568576 (298.09 GiB 320.07 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Wed Mar 7 18:14:54 2007 State : clean, degraded, recovering Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 1 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K Rebuild Status : 1% complete UUID : 93fe44fd:f2cffc76:5ddc9418:d343a912 Events : 0.6029066 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1 1 8 17 1 active sync /dev/sdb1 2 8 33 2 active sync /dev/sdc1 3 0 0 - removed 4 8 49 3 spare rebuilding /dev/sdd1

I tend to use SciTE or Vi depending on what I'm up to.

Have you looked at Ghost for Linux? http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4l/

You mean http://www.chippc.com/ ? EDIT: Beaten by seconds >_<

And more.....

I've just spoken to Stuart at 1st Tech, and while it's not suitable for us, I can at least provide more detail. It's a Mentor Smartline S with 3 charging modules (for 15 laptops) for what we are pretty sure are Dell laptops (as the Lapsafe came from Dell). It worked out too expensive for us as we'd have to replace the existing charging modules, but if you need a Lapsafe for Dells then it's a bargain. Even after buying the extra 3 modules you'd still save ~£700 over buying from Lapsafe direct.

Why is it that you can use AD to set what computers a user CAN log on to, but not the ones they CAN'T? And why are neither options available for groups?

I havn't replaced the drive yet, still waiting for the replacement to arrive

Trying to remount gives mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so And dmesg | tail gives [45235552.470000] EXT3-fs error (device md0): ext3_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 6016 not in group (block 200802304)! [45235552.480000] Remounting filesystem read-only [45235552.490000] EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted ! -------- So this is better? mdadm --set-faulty /dev/md0 /dev/sdd mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sdd Shutdown and replace sdd sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdd mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdd1 mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1

Cheers guys, I've ordered another drive and will swap them over hopefully tomorrow. Just to check the rebuild procedure mdadm --set-faulty /dev/md0 /dev/sdd mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sdd Shutdown and replace sdd sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdd mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1 Out of interest, is it normal for a Raid 5 array to become inaccessible when a drive fails? I was under the impression they would carry on regardless, albeit slower than normal, or is that only realistic with hardware Riad?

I just used the free version

That is all it's doing, I didn't know what would make the site more readable for you. My understanding of Irlens (although I may very easily be wrong, so feel free to correct me if I am) was that it affects everyone in slightly different ways. If you can let me know what would make the site more easily readable for you, I'll have a stab at modifying the script to suit, although I don't claim to be good with UI's or colour schemes
