Preferred method to stop or disable the

Hello all; I have a pavilion dv6 and I am very impressed with the speed to which this computer returns to a ready state of what I believe, this is the "stand-by" mode

I know it's a good idea to make a complete/powerdown stop in time and I do it once or twice a week to clear the caches and everything reset.  But, in the meantime, I've been just close the lid of the computer which, I believe, it goes to sleep.  I have not changed the default of origin for the closure of the hood don't so it must always be in standby mode.

My concern is that I had a laptop Sony Viao where the hinge is broken on one side.  Then I read a thread on this forum about a loose hinge on a HP.  So, my question___ would be better just to let it sit, cover open until it enters mode ensures via a setting the time and therefore save wear and tear on the hinges?

A normal laptop hinge resists closing the regular cover. However, if there is no design defect, you may experience this with some models.

I suggest that you continue your current way of using the laptop. I do the same with all my books and never had problems with hinges.

  • Stop writing in the file alert

    Hi all

    I want to know how you can stop or disable the writing of the information in the oracle alert file.

    Thank you

    An easier way is to create a good file 'null' - requires root access.

    For example as root (with Oracle 10 g XE for example):

    /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump> rm alert_XE.log
    /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump> mknod alert_XE.log c 1 3
    /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump> ll
    total 0
    crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 2010-06-17 13:35 alert_XE.log
    /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump>
    /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump> chown oracle.dba alert_XE.log
    

    Now start the instance. Journal alerts is a '+' blackhole + file - written successor with ignored written data. Reading it will show an empty file.

    Of course, using this method for a production instance will be just stupid. Can have uses, but for purposes of single test where the alert log is filled quickly with tons of details that are not necessary (as the trace files are used for instance in the place).

  • Video playback stopped working in Firefox until I DISABLED the plugin of primetime content decryption module

    From one day to the next video (youtube, Vimeo, etc) stopped not working in Firefox. I checked my plugins/addons and discovered the plugin Adobe "primetime content decryption module" which I had not noticed previously had been installed. I've disabled the plugin and found that the video playback was still functional.

    I realize the Primetime plugin is intended to facilitate playback of certain content (DRM), which would not otherwise play with Silverlight/Flash plugins, but unless that I turn it off it's actually prevents me from normal video content playback.

    As this is a Firefox/Adobe plugin suggested I prefer it to work as expected rather than disable/remove it.

    A quick update to my problem noted above (maybe I should try this first)

    I ACTIVATED the plugin once more see if it would cause video playback yet, but everything seems to be ok now (IE, Primetime plugin is activated and all videos play normally)

    Will report if the problem arises again

  • Disable the SOUL stopping when Pr plays?

    Hi all

    Quick question - is possible disable the function where current TEA breaks encodes each time I hit play first? I can reactivate manually encoding while AT first reading, and I found absolutely not slow down during the game AND encoding, so it's just a major nuisance for the moment because I'm trying to work through a first edition tool and encode a bunch of tasks in the SOUL. From my experience at least the constant start stop is not necessary and burns rendering valuable time.

    See you soon

    SOUL relend resources when PP is active, so the only option is perhaps simply do not use PP when exporting.

  • Disabling the shortcut key for Japanese input to "Kana Input" method

    Hello

    With Windows 7, there is a rather annoying problem happens sometimes when I am typing using the Japanese keyboard layout, it seems I am struck somehow mysteriously a set of keys that snap into the layout of entry Romazi entry in Kana from the outset, the latter of which I know not my way.

    This is a very undesirable breach I have to re - enter the language settings to reset it on the desired position, and I would like to know if there is a way to disable the keyboard shortcut, or at least be aware of which keys trigger that.

    Hello

    To disable the keyboard shortcut, you can follow the steps on this link. You can make the easy solution by pressing the download area, or you can do the manual steps.

  • How can I stop full screen and disable the sidebar in CD player?

    I've got Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 2015, Version 2015.009.20079 DC.

    I work on a PC with a large screen (resolution of 3840 x 2160).

    Whenever I open a PDF file, it goes full screen with the sidebar on the right open (export, Create, Edit, comment, fill and sign, sent for Signature, send & Track).

    There seems not to be a setting anywhere to have Reader * NOT * open full screen, and I can't find a way to DISABLE this sidebar.

    If I was using a phone, interested the reader to be full screen, but I'm not. I'm on a desktop computer with a lot of real estate on the screen to display a complete document.

    After clicking on the window control to drive to return to a normal window, now the PDF is all distorted because of this stupid Sidebar.

    More than 99% of the time, I opened a PDF, it's just to watch the news or print a specific page. The sidebar is useless for me. As long as these features are buried deep in a menu and I can get to them if necessary, that's all that I care.

    Is it possible to disable the option to open full screen and disable the sidebar or keep it reduced?

    If I can't do it in Reader, and then let me know if I can uninstall it and start using another PDF reader.

    Hi jp2code,.

    Yes, you are right.

    Open the CD player, go to the Help menu and repair the installation.

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
    SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those without drain in their names. (Also
    updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

  • disable the option to run selected step

    Hello

    I'm working on a topic I want to avoid operator to run the selected step without going through the process template.  Since the Manager of the users, I see the option that I can disable the RunSelectedTests but which also disables the RunSelectedTests using SinglePass, which is an option, we want to keep for the operator.  Any idea on how I can address this problem?

    Thank you.

    On the second part of your question, you could use one of the Callbacks Interactive and run Exists ("RunState.ProcessModelClient") and continue if it exists and if it does not stop with some messages.

    On the first part of your question:

    Ideally, it would be preferable not to offer the option in the first place but I don't know if it's a useless option, if you do your own UI you can taylor the menu to include it not. That is, instead of using the Commandkind_DefaultExecuteMenu_Set would only include you the items you really want to see. If you would not install CommandKind_RunSelectedSteps but you'd install CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPointSubmenu.

    Order one of the fully featured UI provided with TestStand.
