keepassx
I just bought a Chromebook. Its a good computer for my needs, a tablet with a keyboard. However, I have one major disappointment. I have used Keepass and KeepassX for years to manage my passwords. Chrome has an app called Keepass Chrome,but I have been unsuccessful in getting this Chrome app to read the old .kdb file. You would think with a name like that it would be able to input the old database file. I would appreciate any suggestions. Google searches have turned up nothing, Thank you for listening to my problem.

Chromcast
I'm running Ubuntu 12.4 on a dual boot laptop. I have a Chromcast dongle on my TV. I am unable to cast to it. I must switch to Windows Vista on this computer to cast. It is the only time I ever boot to Windows, which is very slw. Has anybody been able to cast to Chromcast from Ubuntu? The technicians at Google have been no help. I don't remember seeing this topic on this forum. Thanks, Karl Hergenrother ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
computer repair
I thought of removing the cover, but it is not obvious how. I turned it on its back and saw many small screws. Most marked F5 and a few marked F10. I removed the F5s and the cover did not move. I chickened out and replaced the screws. One doesn't want to break the wife's computer. Since I started this note, I discovered this reference. You can find almost anything on the Internet It appears from the pictures that the power socket is mounted directly to the motherboard. It might be a difficult repair. http://www.irisvista.com/tech/ Karl ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Computer repair shop
My wife's 3 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop has had intermittent charging problems. I have replaced its battery, but that didn't help. Right now it will not charge at all. I'm fairly sure that the problem is in the socket on the computer which accepts the charger plug. Those things must take a beating over the years. Can someone suggest a good repair shop on the Nashua/Lowell area? Thanks, Karl ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Linux to me means low cost (asymptotically approaching zero as a limit in fact). High reliability on a wide variety of hardware and ease of use and deployment are also important, of course. This may be common knowledge to most, but I was unable to load Fedora Core 1 onto a Pentium II 200 when the software announced that the processor was not up to the task. This same computer has been running Win2k for 4 years doing normal office and Internet tasks.

Re: Walmart-Xandors
Is the summary that no one has any experience with Xandros, but the Microtel PC is probably suitable for an inexpensive desktop? Sounds like it. Karl ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I guess I'd go with Xandros. (LOL) Regards, . Randy I will too. I don't need a floppy drive or modem (I have several spares). I also have DSL and a wireless network. But seriously, why would a no OS/software system cost more than the Xandros system with OpenOffice and other software loaded. Marketing I guess. Thanks for all the advice.

Walmart-Xandors
Has anyone have any experience with, or comment about the Microtel Xandros Linux computers offered by Walmart. These computers aren't very powerful by today's standards, but for a straight vanilla desktop with Linux and OpenOffice perloaded, I haven't seen a better bargain. I need to replace my 200 MHz Pentium II. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3380786 Karl ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: Gmail invites anyone?
If Tom runs out, I have 50. I have used Gmail for 5 months and have not seen a single spam. It caught a few false positives, but quickly learned that it was mail I wanted and automagically adjusted the filter.

OT from Tokyo
Someone sent me these. If true, which I doubt, Balmer must be a vivid red. I think they are funny. Karl In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages. They're used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are 16 actual error messages from Japan, enjoy. --- The Web site you seek Cannot be located, but Countless more exist. Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. Program aborting: Close all that you have worked on. You ask far too much. Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. Your file was so big. It might be very useful. But now it is gone. --- Stay the patient course. Of little worth is your ire. The network is down.

That's a HUGE security issue and one of the main reasons windows viruses work so well since they have total control of the system. Indeed. I have been saying for years that it is only a matter of time before Linux becomes inundated with its own familiar of viruses, worms, trojans, and crappy software. Putting a technologically-ignorant operator in charge of a system enables all manner of failures.
