<-------------------------- Dork
Thanks for the sanity check! :-)

When you fdisked the card, did you mark the boot partition as bootable?
.....Crap.
I used Gparted within Ubuntu before lighting up the installer. I don't think I did flag it as bootable. I wonder ... If I booted from a live-disk Ubuntu, could I still flag it for bootable? or is it easier/better off to start from scratch?

What's up guys?
Apparently I didn't think this completely through:
I have Ubuntu installed on a 32GB SDHC card that I have installed on my Asus G75VW (currently rocking 8.1) and my idea was to use the SD card as the *third HDD on the system (I have both HDD bays used for Win 8.1..probably a mistake but I'll deal with that after the fact..working to SSD)
SO when I go to hit ESC to try and boot to the SD card, I can only select between Windows, DVD drive, or only USB (when one is present). When I went to install Ubuntu on the card , I swore I installed GRUB, but it's not even recognizing the drive as a whole.
Am I missing something, or does my logic here not work?

GREAT call on hiding the update, I'm starting to see the past Patch Tuesday with Current Patch Tuesday updates. RIGHT ON!
Thanks again :)
-
Yep,
- Went into safe mode, tried to install both through windows update and the stand alone updater (Apparently WSUS cannot be started in safe mode?) so that's a nope.
- I cleaned up the %temp% , even per the link , unsuccessful.
- it looked promissing with this XFastRAM.exe, but I don't even have that on this workstation.
I'm going to have it Hide Update untill our Monthly reports say we NEED this update. lol Thanks

What's up gang!
OK, I call upon the wizards. I offer bandwidth to sacrifice! (Corny joke..)
OK so here is the skinny: I have a computer at work. It's been a problem child since the opening (few years at least). Windows 7 32bit, Enterprise, on our server. It's been stuck on an update that I have officially ran out of options except a "Windows Repair".
** Security Update for WIndows 7 (KB2864202) **
- I've tried using Windows Update Troubleshooter. Nothing.
- I've done SFC. Nothing.
- I've tried installing VIA the stand-alone installer and downloading the update itself and installing. Nothing.
- I've renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder to softwaredistribution.old. Nothing
- I've ran chkdsk /f /r - Apparently the /f & the /r tags are DOA in windows 7..?
at the time of writing this, I'm running a Defraggler scan , I read somewhere that sholves the issue. I've also seen a lot of articles referencing this update with Windows Vista (which is unsetling)
Any thoughts?
-
that's what I'm wanting to avoid: Any unneeded damage to the battery, or the Pineapple.
-
I found the schematic on it. Study time!
-
I guess I was overthinking. I wouldnt need to regulate the output right? Im not sure on that pcb you sent the link for has the dc barrels or a solderable socket. Im sure I can reverse it either way ;)
-
Sort of. I do like the concept of the capacitors to help regulate voltage. Imagine that with two inlets to handle the dc barrel, and the single out barrel to go to the pineapple.
-
Hey all!
Ok so I've come up with a crazy contraption concept that I'm getting ready to try and solder together. Wanted to colaboate with you all.
I'm not sure if this exists: But I'm wanting to make a tiny little circuit the size of ones Thumb that basically enables constant circuit from a USB Pineapple Juice, then when you get home and notice your Pineapple Juice is almost dead, plug in the Mark V wall adapter and flip a switch to switch from USB Battery to the Wall AC outlet.
Basically a constant flow from ether a DC or AC power source to have your Pineapple. I know it's intense voltage regulation, but I wanted to post this into the wild and see if anyone experienced can chime in on if this is completely doable or I'm just a dope and shouldn't bother.

Hey guys and gals.
So at work, I'm noticing a lot of little programs that I find running all the time. But with the way the corporate image is, I can't deploy the duck easily for this (Bummer!!) so I've decided to go basic and creat a .bat menu screen for the user that can be accessed via the intranet. The main program calls smaller programs into the same window.
I'm a little rusty with my .DOS, what I'm trying to do are a few different things:
- I have a .ps1 powershell script I want to execute via the menu screen , but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong because it just dies immediately. I'm calling the following:
:selection4
Cls
Start powershell GetComputerISE.PS1
H:\batmenu.bat
(Running all from my jump drive , h:\, until it's ready for full deployment)
- is there a way I can minimize the file handling (say with C you can just make a method of these other programs and call the method) , or can I even upload these smaller programs to Dropbox and call it through the URL?
-
Oh see, this is good im discovering things!
That powershell script is fantastic! I had to make a little editing to read keys but that's minor :-)
Problem IS that our admin network has ping disabled. SOO Ducky to the rescue! haha
-
In response to this yes that wouldn't be a problem at all. I will probably append a time stamp to the report name so 'Report 08:00:00 07.05.2014.zip' That work for you? I will make the changes over the next weekend.
As for PowerShell as Merlintime has pointed out its incredibly powerful and there are loads of ways you can remotely administer machines. When i was writing the Toolkit i discovered loads of awesome uses for it but i decided to leave remotely networked machines out of the scope as there are certain variables i wouldn't know. Anyway i have all of my PowerShell scripts minus the Duck code stored somewhere so if you want them let me know. Also let me know if you write anything you think could be a good payload. Im always looking for new scripts!
411.
Any help would be forever appreciated! :-)
Yeah if that wouldn't be too much trouble to send those over, I would appreciate that very much! I'm not completely familiar with Powershell outside of Duck scripts (unfortunately) so I'd like to use my duck till I'm comfortable learning about the full capabilites (I know that doesn't completely add up, as I'll need some knowledge to write a Duck Script, but as an Isolated program I'm a fish out of water)
By the way 411, GREAT work on the Toolkit! Eversince I found that it's been a prime go-to for me. :-)
Not sure if you use Bitmessage, but If that's a convenient method for you, I use that almost every day. LOL
-
forgive me for asking a potentially dumb question;
That code makes complete sense to me actually. Thanks for that post! My question is: Would I be able to save that as a .VBS script or bust open Visual Studio and hurl that into the compiler there and see what it barfs out?
-
They are all actually networked. Is that possible? O-o
I may have to walk around anyways, 40% of the users have personal printers I need to manage too, but i'm prepping for one project at a time. Depending on how the inventory goes, will judge how I handle printers :-)
I have not had a lot of experience with PowerShell , I discovered it actually from a Duck Script honestly
-
So wait, that rename syntax: Would I apply that to just before the last ADMIN auth?

Hi guys!
So I'm deplyoing my Duck at work , and I have a script (Thanks to DuckToolKit) that saves the user and hardware info of their computer. We're doing an inventory basically.
The output of the script saves it as a Report.zip, but I have about 200 computers to go through. Is it possible to have an
IF 'Report.zip'=EXIST
Then EXIST +1
Basically if Report.zip exists , rename the file to Report1, and so on so the final will have Report, Report1, Report 2, etc.
Thanks!! I'll attach my script below:

So our current thinking is that, while the board can reliably receive a signal, whatever machine he tied to the plug can't and this is because of an insufficiently strong signal on the wire...?
I'm still more inclined to believe it's RS232 or some variant over an UTP cable.
Can you open up the board and maybe take a picture of it and/or specify what's written on the chip that appears to be attached to the plug? Either side of the connection will do.
The board on the main switch or Workstation? VERY limited to opening up items (Corporate would rain down on me with a #$%% Fire).
If it's worth noting, the main switch does have a console/RS232 9-pin port
-
Sorry all, forgot to add in the basic cable topology (to get an iDea for cable length... see what I just did there?)
Cables run anywhere from 9 feet off the Lobby (Ground Floor) to the 21st floor (Think Stories instead of actual floors) , and sounds like they return to the 12th floor for the main switch. In the elevator room at the top it looks like the CAT5e (I believe) runs through an amplifier provided by the elevator company (Circular punchdown of some sort. Annoying because the only labeling "161, 162,167, etc." and we only have Schematics for inside the Elevator cars themselves.
-
All very valid points that I am taking to heart on this (This project is my child practically.)
I have noticed that from the computer that can change the adverts around (it doesn't handle the "daily events" but the virtual player itself" if I sniff on that port, I saw that there was a nice Spanning Tree protocol on that block. I couldn't tell if anything was shut off or not, but i'm still in investigation.
Seriously, Thanks guys for the input!
...Also I completely understand, No work before the morning constitution of Java.... Mandatory..

Good thinking on Reinstalling Winpcap. Can never be too safe.
So update***
I found the central switch that the elevators are plugged into! WAHOO!! I was lucky enough to talk to one of the installers of the place, he mentioned it was a "Net..something" and described the box, etc.
Matches the IP Scheme, Matches his description, Cable count matches perfectly, PROGRESS!!
Now to begin the "Fun" Part.. The switch (Assuming it's the correct one) shows all 5 (really has 6, not sure why) RJ45 lines are "hot", but why is only 2 of the 5 Workstations funtioning Nominally? Something doesn't add up...
-
Hi all! I'm at a loss, so collaboration time!
SO:
At my work , I have 5 elevators with digital reader boards in them (for the days events and some adverts) that auto-updates from an internal system. Through our internal system, we enter in "Bob Group" and say what meeting room they have and times. Then when we say "Post", that is (theoretically) supposed to send out to these Readerboards to be displayed at the appropriate day.
The problem is: Only 2 of the 5 Function like this. Here's the fun part (Are you ready?):
- Inside the elevator the PC is on an Eth line.
- If I plug in my laptop to snif the other end , I get no link at all. Even the ISP can't find the MAC on the network. Even on the ones that are (theoretically) working.
- The main "Player Controller PC" (handles how the reader board will display adverts, etc) is connected to a switch (and our ISP can see that).
- At the top of the elevators (Where the pully engines are) , There are 5 wires on a troth going outbound.. Somewhere.. But there's actually 10: 5 blue and 5 White CAT5e.
- Down the hall of the Elevator Control room, there's a mini-IDF room that has a wall- mounted cabinet with 5 Cat5e lines LABELED " Elevator 5, Elevator 6, Etc."
- When I plug my laptop into that , Nothing. Not even Wireshark can find it.
- I can't even find anything on a WiFi Sniff too. No beacon frames match the Elevator PCs at all.
...Is there something i'm missing, or is this a needle in a hay stack?
Mini-Drone Error
in Questions
Posted
Hi Gang! I wasn't sure if there was a dedicated section on the forums for Drones (not from what I saw) but I call upon the Drone gods for education:
Unfortunately it was too big to upload, but I threw it into my public Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3221772/20150329_193930.mp4
This is my Estes Syncro mini-copter. I've since upgraded to a beefier Hubsan X4, but I noticed that one of my props (or is it the motor) on the Syncro doesn't create enough lift anymore for take off.
**Pardon my terminology, im still an novice pilot**
You'll see in the video, but I believe it's either the front right motor, or the back left motor. If anyone can offer any insight as to:
- Why is this?
-What is the real error?
- Is it an easy fix vs. cost?
I did a little research and it looks like (again, I could be completely wrong) the outer casing on the motor just spins around the actual motor, which causes it to not spin enough to get lift.
Any thoughts/insights/advice is always appreciated :) Thanks in advance
