General Discussion / Convert URL to Dword

September 29, 2015, 02:44:23 PM

In this example we'll use 206.191.158.55. Enter the following keystrokes into the calculator exactly as shown:

206 * 256 + 191 = * 256 + 158 = * 256 + 55 =3468664375

The dword equivalent of the IP address will be the result. In this case, 3468664375. http://3468664375 Will take you to 206.191.158.55

A variation on the dword IP address is one where a portion of the IP address is similarly converted. This only works with the rightmost two or three numbers, not the leftmost.

Let's start again with 206.191.158.55. Leaving the "206" as it is, we do the same calculation with the last three numbers:

191 * 256 + 158 = * 256 + 55 = 12557879

Now we have: http://206.12557879/obscure.htm

158 * 256 + 55 = 40503

Which results in: http://206.191.40503/obscure.htm

General Discussion / Dell Printer 2150cn Error 094-422

September 28, 2015, 04:45:12 PM

This is not in the manual.

This error 094-422 is the transfer belt almost at end of life.

To reset the counter you have to get into customer mode. Turn printer on while holding the up and down arrow keys.

Once in customer mode. scroll to Parameter then choose Life DTB WASTE choose initialize then hit the check mark and it should say initializing.

Then turn off printer and back on and the error should be gone.

Linux Fixes / Guide DDresuce (copy windows hdd to other hdd)

September 28, 2015, 11:02:19 AM

DDrescue
1st. Create mount point: example (mkdir mountpoint)

2nd. mount -t cifs //IpAddress /mountpoint -o user= ,pass= ,sec=ntlm for 192.168.1.192 user=CLonezilla Pass=Clone

3rd. dd_rescue -d -r3 --no-split /dev/sda /mountpoint/Imagename
or
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/point/imagename.img conv=notrunc,noerror,sync

-d tells ddrescue to use direct disk access and ignore the kernel's cache
-r3 tells ddrescue to retry bad sectors 3 times before giving up.

TO Restore
dd_rescue -d -f -r3 /path/to/image /dev/Harddrive(sda) restore.logfile
or
dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/Harddrive(sda,sdb)

-f Force overwrite of outfile, a device or partition to a Harddrive.
Mount Image for Gparted
losetup /dev/loop0 /mountpoint/Imagename
partprobe /dev/loop0
gparted /dev/loop0

Unload Image
losetup -d /dev/loop0

Mount Image:
1st. try see if OS will select correct filesystem : mount /disk.img /mntpoint -o loop
mount /disk.img /mntpoint -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop vfat if filesystem is fat,change to ntfs or ext3
if you can't figure out filesystem. ( parted fileName.img unit B print ) This will give you the File system and the start address of the image. mount -o loop,ro,offset=startaddress fileName.img mountpoint

Linux Fixes / Lirc Guide

September 28, 2015, 09:56:49 AM

You only need lirc and lirc-x

1. If your using Ubuntu or Debian you can just type apt-get install lirc in a terminal window.

* Once installed Type service lirc stop to stop the service
* Then service lirc start to start the service ask me why we have to do this I'll never know but has to be done.

2. Then record some buttons from the remote by typing irrecord –d /dev/lirc0 boxeeir or whatever name you want your remote to be.

* Once done recording the remote stop the service with service lirc stop

3. Now check to see if you are getting the correct remote commands. Start the lirc server By typing this in a terminal windows. lircd –d /dev/lirc0 /etc/boxeeir

4. Now at the promt type irw

* Press the buttons on your remote you just learned and see if they match. Press ctrl+c to quit irw.

5. If irw gave the right output, stop lirc with killall lircd

6. In the terminal window at the /etc/ prompt type cat boxeeir > lircd.conf

7. Now start the lirc server type /etc/init.d/lircd start

8. Now edit the Lircmap.xml the file is located in /opt/boxee/system

* In the Lircmap.xml change the <remote device="boxeeir">
* Match Lircmap.xml with lircd.conf buttons

9. Start Boxee and check remote.
