If some viruses or something makes your windows XP boot looping
and cannot stop, so this steps maybe useful.

1. Use your windows XP boot CD
2. Boot from CD-Rom
3. Choose Repair from Windows Installation Screen
4. Choose partition which Windows Installed
5. Rename your boot.ini into other name
ren boot.ini boot.ori
6. If cannot please change attribute file of boot.ini
attrib -h c:\boot.ini
attrib -s c:\boot.ini
attrib -r c:\boot.ini
7. Rebuild boot.ini
bootcfg /rebuild
8. Check disk that may errors
chkdsk /r /p
9. Fix boot sector, answer yes or y for any questions
fixboot
10. Fix master boot record if necessary
fixmbr
11. Reboot
press ctrl+alt+del

You are no doubt reading this article because you are frustrated with the ctfmon.exe process that just won’t stop opening no matter what you do. You remove it from the startup items and it just magically reappears. So what is it?

Ctfmon is the Microsoft process that controls Alternative User Input and the Office Language bar. It’s how you can control the computer via speech or a pen tablet, or using the onscreen keyboard inputs for asian languages.

If you are using any of the above, you should leave it enabled. For everybody else, we’ll get to the job of disabling this annoying service.

You can just completely unregister the dlls that run the alternative input services by running these two commands from the run box (one at a time)

Regsvr32.exe /u msimtf.dll

Regsvr32.exe /u msctf.dll

To remove multiple files such as *.jpg or *.sh with one command find, use

find . -name "FILE-TO-FIND"-exec rm -rf {} \;

OR

find . -type f -name "FILE-TO-FIND" -exec rm -f {} \;

The only difference between above two syntax is that first command can remove directories as well where second command only removes files.

More Examples of find command

(a) Find all files having .bak (*.bak) extension in current directory and remove them:
$ find . -type f -name "*.bak" -exec rm -f {} \;

(b) Find all core files and remove them:
# find / -name core -exec rm -f {} \;

(c) Find all *.bak files in current directory and removes them with confirmation from user:
$ find . -type f -name "*.bak" -exec rm -i {} \;

Now we need to modify some entries: if you can’t find one of these entries then you have to create it (just right click anywhere in the control panel then choose “New” using the proper desired value, remember to use Boolean when it needs to be “True or False”!):

* network.dns.disableIPv6: true
* network.http.max-connections: 48
* network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24
* network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12
* network.http.pipelining.firstrequest: true
* network.http.pipelining: true
* network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32
* network.http.proxy.pipelining: true
* nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0
* network.http.request.max-start-delay: 5
* extensions.checkCompatibility: false

Now your browser should be faster but if you want to “go over” then you should try this little extension that speed up Firefox startup: Chrome Cleaner.

Restart your browser and go to (actually I’m not using the English version so I’m sorry if the following path it’s not 100% exactly!) “Tools” > “Add-Ons” > “Chrome Cleaner” > “Options” and then click on the “Clean!” button. Done!

Mount Manual

Mounting samba bisa dilakukan secara manual menggunakan konsole. Meski terbilang primitif , cara ini kadang diperlukan untuk memastikan apakah ada suatu kesalahan pada baris perintah yang kita lakukan.

Mount pada folder yang hanya bisa diakses oleh user tertentu (butuh user name dan password)
mount -t cifs //NamaServerSamba-AtauIPAddressSamba/NamaShare /FolderUntukMount/NamaFolder -o username=UserSamba,password=PasswordSamba,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

Contoh :
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/Warehouse /home/vavai/Desktop/whs2 -o username=vavai,password=passwordvavai,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

Penjelasan :
- mount -t cifs adalah perintah untuk mount folder Samba. Jika menggunakan distro lain bisa diganti dengan perintah mount -t smbfs

- 192.168.0.1 adalah IP Address Server Samba. Jika menggunakan Nama HostName / Netbios, kita perlu melakukan setting pada file /etc/nsswitch.conf. Ini belum saya bahas pada panduan ini

- Warehouse adalah nama folder share. Nama folder share pada suatu komputer dapat dicheck dengan perintah smb://ip-address-server-samba pada Konqueror

- /home/vavai/Desktop/whs2 adalah nama folder tujuan untuk proses mounting. Folder ini harus sudah ada. Jika belum ada ya harus dibuat.

- -o username=vavai,password=passwordvavai, adalah nama dan password user samba

- iocharset=utf8, untuk memastikan proses konversi huruf / font. Pada komputer dengan font non latin, ada masalah jika opsi ini tidak didefinisikan.

- file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, perintah untuk memastikan bahwa folder atau file yang dibuat pada hasil mount bisa diakses dengan modus read dan write.

Cara ini memiliki kekurangan karena username dan password samba dibuat secara plaintext yang artinya bisa dilihat oleh orang lain dengan mudah. Untuk melindunginya, kita bisa menggunakan opsi file credentials, yang menyimpan user name dan password pada suatu file teks yang diletakkan difolder tertentu dan hanya bisa diakses oleh user tertentu.

Caranya adalah dengan membuat file teks, misalnya root/.filecredentials. Tanda titik pada file menunjukkan bahwa file ini berjenis hidden file. Buatlah file tersebut dengan text editor non GUI, misalnya dengan vi. Kenapa tidak dengan GUI Editor, karena file ini harus berisi perintah teks murni tanpa format macam-macam. Isilah file tersebut dengan isi sebagai berikut

username=UserSamba
password=PasswordSamba

Lakukan chmod pada file tersebut agar hanya root yang bisa mengaksesnya, chmod 700 /root/.smbcredentials

Mount pada folder tanpa user name dan password :
mount -t cifs //NamaServerSamba-AtauIPAddressSamba/NamaShare /FolderUntukMount/NamaFolder -o guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
Mount dengan akses read only
mount -t cifs //NamaServerSamba-AtauIPAddressSamba/NamaShare /FolderUntukMount/NamaFolder -o guest,iocharset=utf8

I am newbie on CSS so I will try with small one
Today is background

For all
background-repeat: repeat

For vertical
background-repeat: repeat-y

For horizontal
background-repeat: repeat-x

For position with precentage;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position: 30% 20%;

For center position
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:center;

For not scrolling
background-image:
url(’smiley.gif’);
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-attachment:
fixed

Illustration

Simple way for using command line mail program on Linux:

Syntax:
mail -s “Subject” -a attach_file.txt -r sender@domain -S smtp=ip-of-smtp-address destination@domain < file_of_message_body

Sample:
/usr/bin/mail -s “List logs today” -a /root/logs/listlogs.txt -r backup@domain.net -S smtp=192.168.169.5 adinda@domain.co.id < /root/logs/listlogs.txt

OR The other way is:

Simple Email Message:

echo “Message Body” | mail -s “Subject” receiver@emailaddress.com

Sending File using Linux mail command:

mail -s “Subject” receiver@emailaddress.com < file_to_send.txt

Sending Binary Files with Linux mail command:
Sometimes sending binary files does not work well the command line. We can use uuencode formatting for sending such files:

uuencode myimage.jpeg | mail -s “Subject” receiver@emailaddress.com

Few command line options for Linux mail command:

-s subject ~ Use subject for the e-mail title
-r reply email address ~ email address if you reply to
-c cc email address ~ Send copy of the mail to the specified address
-b bcc emailaddress ~ Send blind carbon copy to specified address
-a attachment file ~ I try just only text file
-S (capital S) for smtp address ~ you could change to other smtp address
