Remove Grub from Boot
by Guest ReeceJones- 0 replies
- 283 views
Hi, A while back I had installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive, and I stupidly didn't remove my Windows 8 hard drive. So I had accidentally installed Grub on my Windows 8 boot stuff. Just now I have borrowed my friend's Windows 8 Pro disc to try to fix the boot record (I have a preinstalled Windows 8 on my laptop). So I booted up the disk and used command line to repair the boot: bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot Now Grub seems to be removed; when I click Ubuntu in the "Use a Device" advanced options it doesn't boot to Grub it just boots normally. But that's where the problem is: I want to remove the Ubuntu option in the Use a Device area (that's in ad…

Canon Image Transfer Utility (IUT) has stopped working
by Guest WarrenNeufeld- 0 replies
- 321 views
Canon IUT comes with my wi-fi digital point and shoot camera. It is supposed to load on my computer at bootup and automatically download photos remotely uploaded to Canon's cloud. However, it will not run. I have been to Canon support and they have no record of any other instances of this problem, which I believe since my online searches also show no other instances. I have eliminated my Norton Security Suite as an issue; IUT will not load whether Norton is enabled or disabled. I have copied below the contents of the WER file for this error. Can anyone decipher this and point me in a productive direction for solving this problem? I apologize for the long post. I was going…

Basically I've run the command : Code: scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub tri@192.168.0.11:~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 As per this guide And I get the message : Code: .ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory I tried to create the .ssh directory on the server, and re-run the command but it still didn't work. And I thought that the .ssh directory would have been created automatically by the ssh setup? I've copied across test files from the desktop and that worked fine, as did a directory but I can't do this key bit for some reason. I've created the key on the client using : Code: ssh-keygen �t rsa So I have a key, and the little art thing.... Has somet…

Chromium Fullscreen Flash
by Guest jmadero- 0 replies
- 261 views
Hi All, After finally finding a browser that plays flash decent (firefox is a nightmare for me, basically unwatchable because it's so choppy) now I'm having a new problem with Chromium. When I fullscreen it's not fullscreening properly - instead a new window opens that is treated like any other window - it's big but there are two problems (probably related): 1. Window decorations are still visible 2. The Window is below the gnome taskbar on top which makes the window stretch off the screen so all controls are hidden below the screen Image shows it best fCUcoIG.jpg Thoughts appreciated Attached Images fCUcoIG.jpg (94.1 KB) Continue reading...

Smart kitchen scale Drop taking pre-orders so you can weigh flour with your iPad
by Guest Rich Edmonds- 0 replies
- 274 views
An interesting startup for the kitchen, Drop has just hit the pre-ordering stage of its release. Set to retail for $99, the smart scales will be available for a limited time only at $80 for "early bakers" (and there's free shipping for the first 2,000 customers). Drop will not only replace standard kitchen scales for weighing food and ingredients, but the companion app for the iPad that will further enhance functionality. The smart device will also scale recipes up or down and suggest alternative ingredients should you not be in possession of certain elements. But it's much more than a simple scale, there are also proven recipes, guiding users through each step and e…

MOTA SmartWatch G2 goes up for pre-order for $80, ties into Siri
by Guest Rich Edmonds- 0 replies
- 279 views
The SmartWatch G2 from MOTA is now available for pre-order. The successor to the SmartWatch G1, this new product includes support for both Google Now and Siri from Apple, depending on which smartphone it's paired with. Available in black, white and red, the SmartWatch G2 is listed for $79.99 and shipping will commence starting June 20. There's a slight issue, however as the device only supports Bluetooth 3.0. It's a strange move for the company to miss out on Bluetooth 4.0, especially since it's all but required for many wearable products of today for more efficient power management. That said, the SmartWatch G2 can also perform numerous tasks without the need to unl…
