Ubuntu :: RemoveWAT - No Need For Product Activation Key
Dec 7, 2010I have a question, I have a Windows 7 CD that I had used on a computer, and it is my understanding that you can use RemoveWAT to remove the need for a product activation key, so my question is, will running RemoveWAT on a Windows 7 Boot CD allow me to then install Windows 7 on Ubuntu using virtual box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Retrieving Windows 7 Product Key?
Jul 16, 2011I've got a laptop here where the Windows product key has been torn from the bottom. Windows will not boot up on this laptop (it blue screens). When I remove the hard drive from the laptop and install it into my working Windows computer, the partition shows up as "raw". However, the partition mounts under Ubuntu just fine, so I'm wondering if there are any Linux tools that will allow me to retrieve the Windows 7 product key, from within Linux...

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Pre-installed Microsoft Office 2007 No Product Key
Oct 10, 2010My girlfriend of over a year recently bought a Toshiba laptop. Don't know much about it for I have not seen it myself. 3GB of RAM. Anyway, it's a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. She has Microsoft Office 2007 pre-installed on it. Now, it's asking for a Product Key, which she does not have. Why? I don't know. I guess they didn't give her a box that has one on it, or something.
So, she sent Microsoft an e-mail and is now awaiting a reply. Anything that I can (LEGALLY) do to help her figure out the Product Key? She said there is one inputed (didn't think that was a word) in the dialog window asking for it, but it says that it's incorrect.
Ubuntu :: Retrieve Windows 7 Product Key From Non-working Installation?
Jun 7, 2011I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the Windows 7 Product Key from another partition on my computer.
I really only use windows to play MMOs, but an attempt to install ie9 has completely borked my windows install... even the fancy automatic windows repair gives up and says it can do nothing.
The Computer originally had Vista on it, and I upgraded it to 7 using the free upgrade kit HP gave away to new computer buyers. I can reinstall vista, since I kept the restore partition for it, but my upgrade disk had the product key on the sleeve and the sleeve for my disk has gone missing.
I tried a few programs through wine that either don't work because certain functions are not available, so the fields that would have the info are blank. Or the program requires windows admin privileges and wine doesn't have a "run as administrator" function to it (yet).
Anyone know of a way to extract the product key? I know I have to re-install.. I just don't fancy having to use vista (except to re-upgrade to 7).
Security :: OSS Product To Replace CS-MARS?
Jun 22, 2010I'm looking for an open source solution to replace Cisco CS-MARS. MARS aggregates syslog data sent to it from remote devices and creates an attack mitigation plan that can then be applied to the devices. It can be used with servers, security appliances and network devices.
I had a brief look at snort, but that seems to function at the packet level and does not aggregate syslog data. Does anyone have experience or maybe know of a product I should look at?
Ubuntu :: Identical UUID's On Two Different Hdd's

Jan 10, 2010I installed office 2000 CD using wine, I did this on Ubuntu net-book remix on a NC10 using a networked CD drive. So the installation went okay, I then came to using the software, word opened and promoted me for my product key, which I entered correctly the window disappeared for a second then repaired, I entered the key again but then this caused the whole program to shut down, I have tried repairing it , reinstalling it all apart from uninstalling and reinstalling it. Which I have tried and subsequently failed
Right I got it to work, so for any looking for the solutions simply go to /home/(username)/.wine/system.reg and change the user name and the organisation either delete it or enter something, I entered my user name but I left the organisation blank but I left the quote marks that were there. Save it and the product code thingy should not appear again.

Apr 28, 2010I want to build deb packages for two versions of same product that can be installed on the machine simultaneously. The source folder structure for both the packages have a common folder needed by both the versions. So i need to keep the common folder till both the versions are removed from the machine.My problem is that i can't install both the versions at the same time, i.e i have to uninstall the installed version and then install the other version. After installing one version, if i try to install another version, an overwrite error comes up. is there any option in dpkg for overwrite? Or is there any way to partially uninstall a deb package?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Using Identical Devices With Udev?
Jan 12, 2010I have two identical hard drives; same make, same manufacturer, same model, and same capacity, which I'm trying to run in a RAID1 mirroring scheme. The problem: configuration files for md arrays only lets me use device names, such as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. To keep these the same (and in the same order) when I boot I wanted to write a udev rule for them. Unfortunately, I have no way to differentiate between these two drives, as they seem to be identical. Normal methods of differentiating by size or model name wont work. I think I can use UUIDs; but I neither know how to get the UUID of a device/partition, nor do I know how to use it (if it is possible) in a udev rule.
Solution:
run
udevadm info --query=all --path=/sys/block/sdb # or whatever block dev
Look for and use "ID_SERIAL_SHORT" which is unique even for identically manufactured disks. Write a udev rule based on this property.
Ubuntu :: Printing - Identical Scenarios, Different Results?
Jun 3, 2011I'm running Edubuntu 10.10 64 bit on an LTSP box here at work. Two of them, in fact. In each instance, we have a Ricoh MP2500 network printer.
Scenario 1 - I print, it works. Scenario 2 - I print, the printer heats up, the wheels spin, yet it never actually prints a page. Each box is from the same Edubuntu install CD. Each box is set up as identically as possible with very minimal differences (aside from software set, as one is for Middle School and the other for High School) Each scenario has an identical printer. Each scenario has the same printer driver.
Fedora :: Source From Ralink's Website To Include Vendor And Product Id?
Apr 22, 2010This is for the Linksys AE1000. This may work for other USB wireless network adapters, but I don't know for sure. Here is the original information ( Ubuntu's Forums ) about a very similar card. It clarifies that you need the 'rt3572sta', and some modifications are required to the source from ralink's website to include your Vendor and Product Id. Then modify a few files, and away you go. Step 1) Retrieve your Vendor and Product Id. Easiest way is doing 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plugging in your USB device.
Code:

View 1 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Boot With Two Identical Drives?
Sep 3, 2010How do I boot with two identical drives? I have two identical Western Digital WD6400AAKS SATA-II 7200 rpm 640 GB hard drives. One of the drives is an internal drive on one machine. The second is available with a mobile drive bay. I can't boot the system with both drives installed. The kernel boots fine but then halts when handing off to init. The error message is:
Warning: unable to open an initial console
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
I can place the mobile drive in a different system that does not have the same drive installed and that system will boot fine from either drive. I'm reasonably certain the problem is caused by the two drives being so identical. I suspect the problem is the kernel cannot distinguish the difference. The model numbers are identical. No, I don't have other SATA drives to use. I am not using raid. The BIOS is not configured to use raid. How do I boot with two identical drives?
Programming :: Cannot Match Strings That Appear To Be Identical

the word is displayed on the screen and I guess what it means i concatenate the randomly selected word and the answer the script looks for a match in mysql if it finds a match it says "Good job!" if there is no match it will say "not correct". However when i get it right it says not correct even though when i echo the variables they look exactly the same. the script below:

Ubuntu :: Desktop Suddenly Identical To Places - Home Folder
Jun 7, 2010Suddenly, my "Places --> Desktop" folder is identical to my "Places --> Home Folder". This happened by accident somehow, and the folders and files in my Home Folder "/home/rj" are displayed on my desktop, and I don't want them to be.
When I click on "Places --> Desktop" it's as if I've clicked on "Places --> Home Folder" (the "File Browser" directory opens, the location is set at "/home/rj", and the title at the top is "File Browser").
Elementary stuff for a lot of you, I'm sure, but I'm blanking on how the Desktop folder can be restored to what I'd like it to be (basically empty, except for a "Downloads" folder), and my folders and files kept off the actual desktop (except for the "Downloads" folder).
Ubuntu Installation :: Network Settings When Cloning To Identical Hardware?
Aug 9, 2010The company I work for use Ubuntu on the PC's that control the system they manufacture. To simplify and speed up the OS install we use a standard PC (all the same hardware) and install a disk image on each system. The disk image was produced from one of the systems and the network settings were set to use a Static IP
However every time we clone a system the network settings change from the static IP settings to Roaming Mode.
why this happens or if it is possible to have the static IP settings remain after the clone?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Can't Move Drive To Identical Laptop
Oct 7, 2010I have two identical laptops. One has an installed Ubuntu and parts that I want to use. The box itself is all beat up. The other box is newer but has a stale edition of linux. (Stale software means "seldom used.") I thought to be clever I would pull drive-A from box-A and install it into box-B. Likewise, I would install drive-B into box-A. This will leave my clunky software on my battered box and my newer software on the newer box.
Mechanically it works (doh!). However, neither box will see the network. When I look at the logs, I find a "rename wlan0 to wlan1" entry among others. If I put the drives back into their original box, all works correctly.
What could be going on that I cannot move the drives and have things just boot and run?
I thought that system start would detect the installed hardware, load the required drivers and all is right with the world. The "rename" log entry suggests that the old hardware details are somehow in the way of the new hardware discovery and configuration.
Is there some command I need to use or utility that I ought to run that says, "rediscover my hardware" or similar?
I already know how to use clonezilla and other ways to duplicate a drive contents to a second drive. (Note to reader: laptop drive to usb drive clonezilla takes quite some amount of time.)
Another reason that this is important lies in the ability to move a drive from in-use but failed hardware to stand-by working hardware in a fail soft recovery situation. I know that win-doze knows about the installed hardware and demands a re-install or "repair" to the alternate box... but this is linux not win-doze.
CentOS 5 :: Automated Install Of 20 Identical Boxes
Feb 12, 2010What's the consensus on the least hassle-prone method to do a bare metal install on multiple machines? I've just been handed a network with 20 identical servers (they're ~4 year old HP quad-Opteron machines with identical hardware configs). They're currently running a mishmash of stuff and I've been told I can re-purpose them. I'd like to create a generic kickstart and pave over them all with CentOS 5.4 with the only difference being the IP address for each machine. I have physical access to the machines and already know the MAC address for each one. Sadly, they are racked up and have no floppy or optical drive, but they DO have an exposed USB port on the front panel.
