PCMan add-on for firefox 3.x

Filed under: Firefox — bryan @ 10:34 pm

是否許多人都在懊惱,當升級成 firefox 3.x 版後原本拿來連上 telnet 的 pcman add-on 會無法使用,這時您應該只好在命令提示字元的模式中直接下 telnet xxx.xx.xx 來連上 bbs 或是選課,不過就在之前我發現了一個好消息,那就是 pcman 其實已經有 for firefox 3.x 的 add-on 了!只不過似乎在 pcman 的官方網站上完全找不到,而我也是找了一會才找到它,想要再次使用 firefox 3.x 來連上 telnet 的人現在就快安裝這個 add-on 吧!不多囉唆~~下載的位址如下:

解決 Windows XP 有時 Update 會造成更新失敗的錯誤狀況

Filed under: Windows相關資訊 — bryan @ 12:39 am

不知道使用 Windows XP 的人是否有時會遇到一種令人困惑的情形,就是當有新的安全性更新出現使用 windows update 會一直發生錯誤,不論如何的重新開機都一樣無法更新,又或是一升級到 service pack 3 後,想要開始 update 其餘的更新套件時會一直出現錯誤無法更新…
我之前碰到過幾次,這次重灌又再度被我碰到,本來一直思考到底是那的問題,不過好在有上 google 搜尋一下找到相關的解決方法如下,其實只需要下三道指令就可解決:

  • 點選 開始 -> 執行 然後輸入 cmd 按 Enter 後,會出現一個黑底的 DOS 視窗,此時只需依序輸入下面三個指令即可
  • net stop wuauserv
    regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll
    net start wuauserv

    一套免費的記憶體測試工具 memtest86+

    Filed under: 資訊科技 — bryan @ 10:38 am

    話說之前 Server 的記憶體壞掉,本來一直找不出來到底是那條有問題,因為不論插那一條其實都可以開機,所以最後我才找到了這個 tool “memtest86+ 2.01″,這個記憶體測試工具有兩個版本可供下載,一個是 ISO檔可以將它燒錄成 cd 當成 CD 開機,另一個就是 floppy 用的檔案,兩個都一樣是測試記憶體,如果有軟碟就下載 floppy 的檔案比較方便,不過要是沒軟碟機的人就只好下載 ISO 來燒成 CD,這套程式必須在 DOS 環境中執行,所以不是用 floppy 要不就是用 CD 開機進入測試程式畫面,它使用起來非常簡單完全不需任何複雜的步驟,像我是使用 floppy ,所以我只把以 memtest86+ 做成的 floppy 放入開機就會自動進入程式開始跑,只要看到最上面的 PASS 100% 時就代表測試完成並且沒有問題,如下圖所示…

    若是您時常會莫名其妙當機,或是常常自動重新開機,您可以到下面這個官方網址下載它來測試看看您的記憶體是否有問題:

    Windows XP or Vista 及 Linux OpenSUSE 多重開機教學

    Filed under: Ubuntu相關資訊, Windows相關資訊, openSUSE專區 — bryan @ 3:39 pm

    很多人其實都已經知道該怎麼讓 windows 與 linux 並存在多重開機選單中,當然還是有些剛碰 linux 的人怕把 windows 搞掛所以希望能用硬碟的部份空間來安裝,並能以多重開機方式切換,用 BIOS 切換硬碟太累人拉~~ :???:
    開始之前請您先準備一顆硬碟先,當然需要先確認你有沒有多的硬碟空間或是多的磁區,以下就先用我的環境來敘述好了 :!:
    一顆硬碟中已經有了 Vista 作業系統 C 槽 佔了 30G 然而另一個磁區是已經切給一個放資料的 D 槽,那不就滿了嗎?
    這時該怎辦 :?:
    先不管 C 槽的空間,至少您放資料的 D 槽應該有剩下的空間吧 :!: 若是如此您可能不知道該如何把已分配好的磁碟空間再重新分配,就像是一顆硬碟只有 60G 而您已經把各 30G 都分配給 C 槽與放資料的 D 槽,這時該如何安裝 Linux 呢?最簡單的方法就是用類似 partation magic 的軟體,只不過現在有另外一套免費的 live CD 要推薦給大家,這套軟體叫做 gparted ,您只需下載它的 ISO 檔案燒錄成光碟片後,再以光碟開機進入此 Live CD,這時您可以隨意刪除或是變更磁區大小,反正就是硬碟磁區隨您玩就對了,而且就目前我所知道的是已支援所有 windows 及 linux 相關的磁碟分割格式,所以不論您是使用 fat32, ntfs, ext2, ext3 都可以隨意變更喔!當你把磁區空出來後就直接放入 openSUSE 11 的 DVD 直接安裝到最後,重新開機後應該就是以 openSUSE 的 grub 當成 boot manager~~

    不過要是無法開機或是開機過程有問題時,請再放入 openSUSE DVD 片以救援模式修改下面這個檔案,不過下面是我的範例,請依照您的實際環境更改,最重要的是修改最下面 windows 的部份中 chainloader (hd0,0)+1 改為您正確的hd磁區,我的範例是代表 windows 位於 /dev/sda1 磁區,若您的 windows 磁區是 /dev/sda2 則請修改為 (hd0,1)+1 ,當然還有另一種情形是安裝了 openSUSE 後 vista 會開不起來,此時只須放入 vista 光碟片修復再重新開機即可:

    PC-BSD 7.0.1 has been released

    Filed under: FreeBSD tenology — bryan @ 12:07 am

    雖然我最近好少 update,不過還是想把一個好消息告知大家,最近 PC-BSD 已經釋出了 7.0.1 版本,有在使用的人可以趕緊去下載或是升級,當然此版本也有修正 bug 部分,大家可以參考官方網站提供的 change log 來決定您是否要更新,下面就是改版資訊的部分,雖然 PC-BSD 主要的好處是多了 PBI 的套件處理方式,不過我實在用 FreeBSD 太久並且中毒頗深,雖然我也有安裝試用過 PC-BSD 不過再怎麼用,都還是 FreeBSD 比較上手也熟悉許多~~ (more…)

    Amarok 2 Beta 2 已經釋出

    Filed under: Linux Packages — bryan @ 5:02 am

    前幾天 amarok 2 beta 2 版本已經釋放出來,想嚐鮮的人可以下載回來裝裝,這個版本最顯著的變化就是後台數據庫,把SQLite換成了嵌入式MySQL。應用嵌入式MySQL可以讓我們利用MySQL的設置來提升效率,同時降低了對獨立服務器設置的複雜度。如果需要的話,我們在將來甚至可以用單獨的MySQL服務器來提供服務。最值得注意的是,你會發現許多在收藏掃描和搜索上的性能提示,特別是在你的收藏很多資料的時候。
    當然這個版本不但修正了許多的 bug 也有許多功能上的改進,大家可以參考官方網站中的 change log,至於 beta1 與 beta2 的差異性,我已經將他列在下面,不過下面我只列兩個版本的改變及 bug 的修正部份至於新的功能請參考官方網站中的 features…..

    * Switch from Sqlite to MySQL Embedded (libmysqld), resulting in faster scanning and collection filtering times.
    * When saving a new user playlist, the playlist browser immediately shows the newly saved playlist and starts an edit operation on it.
    * Many small visual and layout tweaks.
    * Make the values for score, play count and time since last play appear in tooltip when hovering over the icons in the current track applet.
    * Make values for score, play count and time since last play in the current track applet readable.

    * Made album applets scrollable.
    * Default the OSD to the middle top of the screen.
    * New icons and layout for Context View navigation and applet manipulation.
    * Same default setting for proportional and fuzzy biases when filtering by year. Patch by Andreas Mützel .
    * Config is now written right after closing the settings dialog, making it crash persistant.
    * Improve Biased Playlist solver by using genetic algorithm.
    * System tray tooltip is now translucent (if compositing is available).
    * QtScript: Importer.include imports the file in the same context that it is currently in.
    * PodcastCategory now uses PopupDropper actions.
    * Libgrypt is preferred over OpenSSL at build time, for licensing reasons.

    * Detect Amarok 1.x style compilations when scanning the collection.
    * Show the album year in the Collection Browser if requested.

    openSUSE 11 Live CD 的另一個選擇 Live USB stick

    Filed under: openSUSE專區 — bryan @ 11:05 pm

    有人或許想要知道如何做一個 openSUSE 11 的 Live USB stick,就像是 Live CD 一樣,不但可以直接執行並且可以透過 USB 安裝 openSUSE 11,其實步驟不會很難幾乎都是用圖形介面就可以完成.
    1.首先需要安裝 Image Creator 然後透過下面這裡的教學方式一步一步建立 USB image

    http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Modules/Image_Creator

    2. 當完成 image 後,你必須把它傳到您的 usb 隨身碟中,這時請下這道指令即可
    #kiwi –bootstick initrd-usbboot-suse-11.0.i686-2.1.1.splash.gz –bootstick-system name_of_the_image.i686-1.0.0 3.

    3. 不過您當然也可以全部透過指令方式來安裝 Kiwi 相關套件,並且建立 image 然後傳輸到隨身碟中,您只需要參照官方網站中,下面這行字以下的內容即可:
    How to create a bootable openSUSE 11.0 USB stick from a running openSUSE system
    官方網址如下:
