OK Here goes.... My Desktop - Archlinux My Laptop - Archlinux My Home Server - Archlinux My Work Laptop - Windows 7 Pro with Archlinux in Virtualbox and GNUwin32 installed. My Mum's Laptop - Linux Mint My Sister's Laptop - Linux Mint My Sister's Old Laptop - Ubuntu I've been using Archlinux as my main distro for several years. Before that I've used Fedora, Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu and several others. The only Machine in the house I have yet to convert is my Dad's laptop. At work I mainly work with RedHat, CentOS and Scientific Linux although there is a good deal of Windows as well.

Not sure about the resolution, the boxes just have tty's and don't have a modeline set. The monitor reports the frequency at 72hz though which seems a bit high.

Nobody got any ideas? Is there a more relevant section I should post this in?

Hi folks. Today I installed a kvm console into our rack and connected all the servers up. The windows servers work beautifully. The linux ones however all look like this: (sorry about the quality) http://i.imgur.com/fPCJEN8l.jpg (The distortion constantly changes) It's running Scientific Linux 6.3. KVM is: Lindy 19" Modular KVM Terminal no: 21615 with KVM Switch - U16C Modular no: 39531 Video is connected via VGA, keyboard/touchpad via USB. I can't reboot the machines as they are in use 24/7 so if they require a reboot I'll have to arrange for downtime. Any ideas? If I unplug and reconnect the KVM it's clear for about 2-3 seconds then becomes distorted again. Any ideas? I'm at a loss.

Well I managed to get it working in the end. I tried multiple methods with no sucess and had lots of problems along the way but here's what ended up working: #1 Creating a new sharepoint site with the same DB name etc... #2 Using the restore feature to restore the content DB and the site settings with new names. #3 Manually replacing the new DB + site with the restored one. #4 A bit of stsadm magic with liberal use of overwrite. #5 Some manual work in sql management studio and text editors. #6 Manually fixing permissions #7 Restarting IIS Many incantations and a lot of voodoo was used in the process but it seems to have done the trick. The errors generated by the backup and restore feature were less than useful.

Hi folks. Last week we backed up our full sharepoint farm using the built in backup and restore feature. We were planning on restoring the farm to a virtual machine but it's currently failing. The cause is that the new virtualised server has a different name to the old server and we can't use the old name. So currently we're stuck with the sharepoint farm backup and we would like to get it up and running ASAP. Is it possible to restore the entire farm to the new VM (with a different name/IP to the old server) or is this going to be the stuff of nightmares? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I must confess to having bought a lot of "for rectal use only" stickers. The amount of things you can put them on that provide amusing results are countless.

I'm having no end of trouble even getting it to install. I'm trying to install Xubuntu on an older p4 system but after two keypresses it acts as if the 'A' key is stuck down and won't respond to anything but a hard reset. Bit strange as no other version has this problem. Usually you can just right click on the desktop, 'change desktop background' > 'fonts', and making the sizes smaller usually helps.

It was quite funny how many people I know got that BlackSOD. I just looked smug and said 'It wouldn't of happened if you used Linux'

I prefer to use CCleaner to msconfig. I have had a few glitches with msconfig in the past.

I have managed to do it through nautilus in the end. I was about to resort to removing the entry in smb.conf the I thought 'what if I shared it again , then deselected sharing and pressed the modify share button' so I did and it worked. Here is a screenshot of what I had before if anyone has seen anything similar.

I just set up a quick share to allow another computer to get some files. I then noticed I was already sharing another folder that I had forgotten to stop sharing so I stopped that one from sharing. When I got the files I wanted on my other computer I went to stop the share I had just set up but the sharing option is off even though I can see and access it on the network and I can't seem to stop it from sharing. Any ideas how to stop this share? I have tried renaming the folder. When I do this the share disappears from the network but when I name it back again the share re-activates. There is no icon telling me the folder is shared. I have tried rebooting, restarting the samba service and restarting nautilus but its still invisibly shared.

Well my mum being scottish we had haggis, neeps and tatties mon! She made far too much though. We'll be eating it all week!

Right. I wasn't intending overclocking, I was just curious, was editing my post with that guess when localzuk posted. I really need to learn more about hardware.

Oh right thanks. Erm...... bit confused on that one. * mutters something about ancient history* So all their model names were based on comparisons? Wow I learn something new every day. Thanks for the help guys. I feel a bit silly now. Almost 4 hours wasted....*sob* and I ran out of coffee half way through.
