Comment on Make Windows 7 USB installer in Linux by meLon

Ah! The solution to the above problem is to format the USB as NTFS and *not* FAT. You will not be able to run the mlabel command on the NTFS partition, but the rest of the steps remain the same.

Thanks for this guide!

Comment on Weather Underground Script by Pyther

You aren’t, necessarly, doing anything wrong. It has to do with how python2 parses print, compared to python3. Just replace the print statement (at the end) with ‘print(‘%s – %s’ % (temp, condition))’.

I have updated the script reflect that change. It should work with both python2 and python3.

Just what I’m looking for except the output isn’t correct for me. Example:

(u’45F’, ‘-’, u’Light Rain’)

What did I do wrong?

Here’s a quick patch that lets the iheartradio.py work with Talk Radio (like waeb-am) and Music Radio:

May try to add this to RadioTray – like I Heart too.

This can be crammed into a one liner like this:

mplayer -novideo `wget -q -O- “http://p2.WHTZ-FM.ccomrcdn.com/player/player_dispatcher.html?section=radio&action=listen_live” | grep -o “rtmp\://[^\"]*”`

Comment on Remote Assistance – Win XP/Vista/7 by Michael D.

After banging my head against this problem for a day and digging through forums all across the internet. It seems I (and everyone else, from the posts I’ve seen) overlooked one simple thing: check to make sure the Windows XP client has the Terminal Services service enabled and started.

Once I started this service, Remote Assistance was working like a charm between Win2008 R2 and WinXP Pro. Confirmed: compatible with Windows XP SP3. :D

I don’t recall actually testing it on Windows XP. I would insure that XP doesn’t have a firewall enabled that might be preventing connections from being established. I do know I’ve done remote assistance from Windows 7 (request)-> Windows Vista and Win 7 (request) -> Win 7

This is a great article. I see you list that this applies to Windows XP – did you actually test this on XP or were you able to get it working?

I’ve got Remote Assistance working between Windows 2008 R2 sessions (meaning a tech who has a terminal server session on a Windows 2008 R2 server can send a Remote Assistance request to a user’s TS sessions on a different Windows 2008 R2 server and it works great). But I can’t get it working between Windows 2008 R2 and Windows XP Professional SP3. MSRA on the 2008 server reports “Your offer to help could not be sent” and advises you to check if you have permissions on the remote computer, computer is powered on, etc.

I’ve got the same group policy applied to the Windows XP machine as I do the 2008 R2 machine. Both in the same domain, same network and I’ve checked to make sure the GPO is indeed applying to the XP client. I’m scratching my head as to why this isn’t working.

here’s JK’s bash script that actually works if anyone googles
pastebin.com/Cq68Gv4h
the blog probably messed up few quotes ” ” and a minus – and the script didn’t worked. it’s been a nightmare for me to fix, a guy that has no scripting knowledge, but someone helped me
thank you JK, whoever you are :D

btw i’m using his script because your python one can’t change mplayer’s volume from command line. maybe you can implement that. but both work great for linux phones anyway.
here’s an idea for your script, adding few lines for favorite radios and enable selection at script start through 1/2/3/4/5 etc instead of remembering many radio codenames
