Really early impressions of SparkleShare:

It is based on git, I truly did not know git could be used with anything other than text files.

The host setup is a script that installs a git server , since it is git you could acually use gitlab, github or bitbucket as your server host.

Windows client listed on the webpage (1.4) is not the newest version available even though it is the only version listed. Version 1.5

Client tracks files added and deleted, as well as versions of certain file types.

Versions of a docx file and ability to recover

**Edit ( For some strange reason, the time of the versions of the files is not actually my current time. Screen captures where taken at around 19:00 and file versions show 17:50)

Tomorrow I'll setup another client to test the syncing process between clients 😃

We've been able to Default the remaining APs and they are adopted. We have one that is being stubborn, while it 'pings' it's not reachable. Suspect an issue with the AP itself. One just lost the heartbeat, but, it was found and adopted.

All in all, four of the six are running and good to go. lot better than where we started.

Thanks

I got it restored to a new db,.. but i did have to change the file name.

Is it Windows 10 laptop?

Yes,.. the F2 and F12 keys do work, just very inconsistent results.

I always bounce between F2, F10, F11, F12, and DEL.... Jackhammer between them all until desired results achieved.

Jack hammer the needed keys.....

Real solution... Stop using outlook and push to OWA.

I know I could use WebRoot for my personal computers, but this was for someone else. They had McAfee which was expired. I prefer free over paid, though I know there is a bit of a compromise.

@gjacobse said in Linux Mint: Reset Windows Password:

WHile I asked, I also searched:

Reset Windows using Linux Mint

You can use Linux live CD and a program named chntpw will do the rest. You don’t have to install that OS to your hard drive. I am showing you how to do it using Linux Mint. Visit Linux Mint website and download ISO. Burn it to a disc and boot up your computer using that bootable disc. Go to Menu>Accessories>Terminal. Type sudo apt-get update. Press Enter. Type sudo apt-get install chntpw. Press Enter and keep that terminal open. From desktop go to Computer and then just open the drive where Windows is loaded. It will mount that drive. In the terminal type cat /proc/mounts. Hit Enter. It will give output like /dev/sda1 /media/CA123DD456EA6512. This long serial no will vary in your case. Change it accordingly in next command. Type cd /media/ CA123DD456EA6512. Hit Enter. Type cd Windows/System32/config/ and Press Enter. Type sudo chntpw SAM and Press Enter. You will get a menu with all users of the system. Default is Administrator. Type 1 and press Enter to clear user password. If you need to reset password for a specific user, type sudo chntpw -u username SAM and follow previous instructions. Close everything and reboot system.

I was going to suggest the chntpw. As far as I know that's compatible up to Windows 8.1... Never had to use it on Win10 yet.

@gjacobse said in iOS Contact recovery from iTunes Backup:

Well this is a fun one. User was to receive new phone, so planning ahead, she called in to discuss getting her contacts backed up. She had an iPhone 5c, but didn't have it sync to the iCloud - she didn't want to do so since it was her iCloud account, but an Office phone.

Got the 5c connected to iTunes and backed up. As near as I know anyway, everything succeeded normally.

This week she has her new 6s and plugged it in. Back up seemed to restore correctly, but she has no contacts.

I fully expect that the version difference is causing this, but would expect that her contacts are in the back up. Just how to retrieve them?

Are you sure the contacts were on the phone and not from something like an exchange account?

I've never had an iTunes based backup/restore fail to do that.

There is no difference in "version" because iOS is iOS no matter which device it is on. At worst you may be iOS 8 versus iOS 9?

iOS is iOS - Well I was going to say no.. but @art_of_shred and I managed to figure it out. I am using my phone as a comparison... I have been using the OWA application, but she mentioned using the regular MAIL app. So I went to set it up, and wasn't seeing the same thing @art_of_shred was. Found out what the deal was and now it 'matches'.

But that doesn't fully answer the issue here,.. getting her contacts. on to the next thought.

So adding the exchange account worked?

@Mike-Davis said in Print directly to printer - no add-ins:

I'd lean towards application trapping the print screen key the way green shot does. I think you're right.

Yes - our 'best guess' is that there is some third party software needed. And since this is a state agency - they have limitations as to what can be used or installed.

@gjacobse said in O365 Shared Calendar: Permissions:

This may not be the correct configuration, but it currently is working for the most part.

Office has a <user> account set as Public for the Calendar. Most people are able to access the <public> calendar to add appointments and vacation items. Except one person (currently).

Ideally, I would believe you would want it set as a Resource - not as a <user>, but at this moment we are not going to convert it. Trying to find the permissions that are needed to allow full access for internal staff to update the calendar. I have been looking through the admin pages, and have not found what I believe to be all that is needed.

Pretty sure it's under:
Exchange Admin Center; Recipients; Mailboxes (since it's a <user> calendar); Edit User

You'd go into the office 365 portal, find this public calendar user, go to delegation access and assign people there. (At least that is what I would do)

Doesn't this cost a monthly fee as well?

@scottalanmiller said in Chocolatey.org: Install vs. Upgrade:

If you don't specify package names it will only upgrade what is installed.

Right. I have scheduled task that runs this command.

choco upgrade all -y

That is much easier than doing them one at a time. Thanks.

Proxim always made high quality, no Internet required mesh gear as well.

@scottalanmiller said in Linux Mint and Google Drive:

Have not. How do you want it to behave? I don't use Google Drive so not sure what it can do.

The project seems to have the ability to CLI sync but not auto sync. but in process.

Cron every minute? Not realtime, but nearly as good

Mh, would be a 15 minute job. Anyway, can't you split the file into multiple chunks?

That's my guess, that a package is missing.

@johnhooks said in KeepassX & Cloud Storage:

I keep my KeepassX database in DropBox, but my actual key file is not there.

I've not used a Keyfile,.. only a 'decently long complex' password.

I do both just because I'm paranoid. My password is only 15 characters, but with the key file I think it helps. That way even if someone gets my database they can hammer the database with passwords all they want but it won't matter.
