I am ruing Windows 10 on a Lenovo T440. The system has been upgraded to the latest drivers and system patches through Windows first then Lenovo's System Update app. I am experiencing, what looks to be, a memory leak. The system and compressed memory process is taking up about 250,000k. I found an article describing the process of identifying the specific driver from poolmon. I tracked it down to the ConT pool tag. When I use findstr it tells me many times that Line XXXXX is too long.So, how do I find the driver that is taking up the memory?Related question: Windows 10 high memory usage (unknown reason) This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service - if this is your content and you're r...

I downloaded devstack on a newly built 8 core 32Gb RAM z97 board with a 4Ghz i7-4790K Haswell refresh chip and SATA3 SSD. I followed the instructions and have devstack up on centos 7 1511 minimal.

As I understand it, the uefi bios loads grub.efi from the efi partition. This now loads a bunch of grub modules and the configuration file from the /boot directory. But how does grub find the correct device in which the boot partition resides? In grub legacy, you'd usually install grub to a specific partition, using # grub-install --root-directory=/dev/sda So it's quite clear where it will look for the boot directory. How does grub-efi figure out the correct device?

Please Please Please help me. I Recently attempted to install windows 8 onto my laptop along side an Ubuntu installation. At the time I couldn't find a large enough USB drive to use as a bootable USB for windows so I created two partitions along side my current Ubuntu installation one for the contents of the windows ISO file and one for the actual installation. Using grub4dos I was able to load the windows setup exe buy during the installation I accidently clicked the wrong option which reformatted the entire hard drive. Including the files which it was trying to install. Obviously this failed but now I'm left with the predicament that I do not have any OS on the laptop. I have since found m...

I have a couple Razer Chroma devices and a couple regular Razer devices (2 mice, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse pad). If it matters I can give specifics. I want to switch to Linux as I hate the imbued marketing drive in Win10 despite being a good overall gaming platform. There are of course a lot of little considerations in actually making the switch. Since there is no native Linux support for Razer Synapse, what will I be losing in using a bunch of Razer products in Linux? Razer has some amount of on-device storage as well as cloud syncing. Primary conces: Will color profiles persist? (Chroma only) Will DPI settings persist? Will the "Tu off device lights when displays are off" setting persist? Second...

I need a programmatic way to determine which of my files /dev/usb/hiddev[0-9]' is associated to a given USB peripheral, given thevendor:productcode of the USB peripheral (which can get from usinglsusb`).

I do not have an INF file of a network card device, but was only able to find a SYS file on the Windows 7 PC on which the hardware is installed and operable. Can I simply re-use the SYS file from this PC into a different PC to install the device driver for the network card device? Or I have to use an INF file every time I have to install the drivers? Please advise. Thanks.

I try to uninstall VirtualDJ software from a macbook pro ruing El Capitan, following instructions delivered by both official site and users forums -> delete app in application folder delete preferences file : Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.atomixproductions.virtualdj.plist delete kext file : Users/me/Library/Extensions/com.atomixproductions.virtualdj.kext delete virtualdj folder located in documents folder and in Users/me/Library/ All of that seems very easy to do, but I still have "VirtualDJ Advanced Audio" device that still appears in my list of output devices :/ I have searched over all my system folders for a kext extension to manually remove, but nothing founded :( Is there any way to...

I have a windows 7 computer with a fully functional (realtek) soundcard but no speakers coected, and what I want to do is forward any sounds from it to another (linux) computer. Now I could reroute sound the hardware route (Do some jedi trickery like coecting a cable from it's line-out to a line-in) but I want to go the software route. So what I seem to need is a virtual/fake/loopback playback device on Windows that can receive sound to be forwarded through a daemon such as Icecast, JACK or Pulseaudio or something else. Can I do this with JACK? Or will I need to use another software for it? This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service - if this is your content and you're reading it on...

I have to call one really long named method in Chrome console. So, every time, when I haven't got this method in recently called (accessible via up/down arrows) I need to type something like this: someReallyVeryVeryLongMethodName(); I want to write a wrapper with short name, which will only call this long named func, so I'll have to type only shortName(); instead of it. How can I write a global wrapper in Chrome development tools console?

I'm going through the process of installing AsteriskNow on an old pc of mine. I've got a usb dvd drive which plugs in to 2 usb sockets (I'm assuming one is extra power). The machine reads the disc and boots fine, but then it says it caot find the Kickstart file and asks for the directory where the file is. It prompts me for cdrom:/kickstart-raid-asterisk13.cfg - however this caot be found. There is one hard drive installed in the pc plus the 2 usb coections for this drive. I've done some googling but some people use sdb1, sdb2 etc and others say sda1... How can I find out - I caot get in to any other prompts.

For my sins I have a predominantly Apple-centric network at home consisting of: Macbook (stuck on Mountain Lion) iMac (stuck on Mavericks due to ATI 5750 driver issues on later versions) Multiple iPads, Pods, and Phones. QNAP NAS WNDR3700 ruing Gargoyle (Open-WRT) Netgear unmanaged switch What I'm trying to achieve: Manage user accounts better as more machines (kids homework etc) come onto the network. Would be good to tie in computer access with NAS logon etc. Radius? Control machine access better - including limiting them from using the primary iMac Access restriction. More on bandwidth quotas but also limiting time on device. Download caching, especially for updates (iOS9 x 5? No thanks.)...

If the DVR doesn't have wifi and you can't run a cable to your router then you'll need to get an etheet to wifi adapter, such as this one You'd coect it to your wifi network then just coect your etheet device to it with a short etheet cable.

After upgrading my Debian system, this happens: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-r-- 1 root plugdev 1, 3 Feb 20 18:17 /dev/null ...which is bad. I can manually change the permissions, but it doesn't persist across reboots, of course. Most things work, but given that most (but not all) of the other device nodes are owned by plugdev, I think something's seriously wrong and it's only working by accident. I suspect that what's happened is a borked upgrade to systemd. However, I barely understood udev, let alone systemd. I can't find anything in the logs about initialising the device nodes. Nor can I find anything in the documentation. Nor can I find any udev rule files or systemd unit files which do thi...

I want to make my usb WiFi dongle non ejectable, as I never remove it and it just bothers me that it's on the ejectable devices list in the tray bar. I know of a question on how to remove-the-option-to-eject-sata-drives, but this is not a SATA drive.

By following Google ADB Documentation i am able to coect to device wireless . But i want to coect more than one device. For adb wireless to work i have to restart adb in tcpip mode Once i did that i can coect to a device but to coect to another device i will have to restart adb in usb mode again which will discoect the first device. Simple solution would be to coect both device with usb and then restart adb in tcpip. But i don't have any extra set of usb cable right now. So is there any other way to coect more than one device except for the method i mentioned above.

As the title says ever time I change default playback device it changes back to the inteal sound. No sign in the software of a way to change it and closing software doesn't stop it (surprisingly). I have disabled the creative sound device temporarily but this is not an ideal solution especially considering what I want to do with VAC later. This is a new motherboard & computer.

I did a google search and found tools like devcon and devmanview but they are only useful to disable/enable the device not the device driver. What I want to do is be able to disable/enable a particular device driver via command line. Anybody know any tool which can help me do this? In my case, I actually want to disable/enable a Nvme Mass storage device driver.

We do a lot of hardware development, and usually do not have all the pieces together at the same time. In the ultimate world we would like to be able to 'sniff' or record all usb traffic when our device is plugged in - and then emulate the hardware through software so that when we don't have the hardware we can still develop software that interfaces with it. is there anything out there that does something like this?
