GParted partitioning software - Full tutorial Updated: April 25, 2009 No matter which operating system you want to have installed on your machine, there's one thing they all have in common: partitions. These are logical pieces of your actual hard disk space, defining the size and the file system format for the operating systems and data that are going to be placed on them. Being able to control the partitions is one of the most basic, most important aspects of mastering your operating system. If you have the knowledge and confidence to manipulate the layout, create it, change it or delete it, you can adapt your hardware to your varying needs, without having to blindly rely on default setups defined by vendors or other people. After completing this tutorial, you will have learned how to interpret the partitioning dictionary, what the strange symbols, letters and numbers mean. Never again you shall fear using partitioning software or installing operating systems on hard disks already containing data. Table of contents: Or like this:
TestDisk Step By Step This recovery example guides you through TestDisk step by step to recover a missing partition and repair a corrupted one. After reading this tutorial, you should be ready to recover your own data. Translations of this TestDisk manual to other languages are welcome. Example problem We have a 36GB hard disk containing 3 partitions. Unfortunately; the boot sector of the primary NTFS partition has been damaged, anda logical NTFS partition has been accidentally deleted. This recovery example guides you through TestDisk, step by step, to recover these 'lost' partitions by: rewriting the corrupted NTFS boot sector, andrecovering the accidentally deleted logical NTFS partition. Recovery of a FAT32 partition (instead of an NTFS partition) can be accomplished by following exactly the same steps. Symptoms If this hard disk's primary partition contained an operating system, it would most likely no longer boot up - due to its corrupted boot sector.

LaTeX LaTeX (/ˈleɪtɛk/ LAY-tek or /ˈlɑːtɛk/ LAH-tek[1]) is a document preparation system and document markup language. It is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents in many fields, including mathematics, physics, and computer science.[2] LaTeX uses the TeX typesetting program for formatting its output, and is itself written in the TeX macro language. LaTeX is not the name of a particular editing program, but refers to the encoding or tagging conventions that are used in LaTeX documents. LaTeX is widely used in academia.[3][4] It is also used as the primary method of displaying formulas on Wikipedia. LaTeX can be used as a primary or intermediate format, e.g., translating DocBook and other XML-based formats to PDF. LaTeX was originally written in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport at SRI International.[5] The current version is LaTeX2e (styled as LaTeX2ε). Typesetting system[edit] Examples[edit] Note how the equation for was typeset by the markup:

How To Pick The Right Motor Oil For Your Car It might seem simple to pick engine oil for your car. You just look for the starburst symbol that indicates the oil has been tested and meets the standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API). In addition, there's a 2-character service designation on the container. API's latest service standard is "SL." SL refers to a group of laboratory and engine tests, including the latest series for control of high-temperature deposits. These are the labels you'll find on every container of reputable motor oil. Is oil really the lifeblood of an engine? Oil is so important that we want no less than the best the engine can get--for a good low price, of course. Sounds pretty neat, and we were given the opportunity to do just that at the Valvoline lab in Lexington, Ky. That was our one shot at playing lubricant scientist, but the experience produced only enough oil for a top-up. Viscosity Once the engine is running, the oil heats up. Why So Many Oils?

Troubleshoot Fuel Gauge Home, Automotive Repair Library, Auto Parts, Accessories, Tools & Equipment, Manuals & Books, Car BLOG, Links, Index Fuel Gauge Problem? Need Help Now? Click on the banner below to Ask an Expert: Copyright AA1Car Nothing is more aggravating than a fuel gauge that doesn't give an accurate reading, especially when the gauge shows there's still fuel in the tank when there really is not. In 1904, the first float arm gas gauge appeared. There are essentially three types of fuel gauges: analog resistance (used almost universally up through the early 1980s), analog magnetic (introduced in the '80s) and digital/graphic electronic gauges (also introduced in the '80s and used to this day). Analog fuel gauges use a heated bimetal strip to move the indicator needle on the fuel gauge. The amount of current that flows through the fuel gauge is controlled by the ground circuit provided by the sending unit in the fuel tank. The successor to the resistance type fuel gauge is the magnetic fuel gauge.
10 Free, Open-Source Replacements for Commercial Tools | TuxArena This is an overview providing 10 Linux open-source replacements for various commercial power tools, most of them available only on Windows. Computer-Aided Design: AutoCAD Replacement: QCAD It’s true, QCAD has some paid plug-ins, but they can be removed very easy and QCAD will offer most of AutoCAD’s features in a similar fashion, but with an interface that is maybe 10 times faster. The good thing about QCAD is that those who are used to AutoCAD can make the transition pretty easily, since QCAD has similar syntax for commands, and similar menu entries. Image Editor: Photoshop Replacements: GIMP and Krita Both GIMP and Krita are powerful image manipulation tools, the first one being written in GTK, while Krita integrates better in KDE. These applications comes with support for layers, powerful editing tools, saving or exporting to a huge number of formats, visual effects, filters. (Image credit)
Troubleshooting Your Gas Gauge By RANDY RUNDLE Most gas tank units consist of two parts, the gauge mounted in the dash and a tank sender mounted in the tank. The following trouble-shooting instructions apply to the AC-type fuel gauge, which is one of the most common type of units. Your service manual will give you any added instructions necessary for your specific type of fuel gauge. The gas gauge, often located in the instrument cluster, consists of two small coils spaced 90 degrees apart with an armature and a needle placed at the intersection of the two coils. A dampener is also located on the armature to prevent excessive needle movement on rough roads. The tank sender unit is mounted to the outside of the gas tank (with a float on the inside, of course) and is made up of a metal housing that contains a rheostat (which is simply a resistance unit), and a brush that comes in contact with the resistance unit. The most common cause of gas gauge trouble is a poor ground, especially at the tank sender unit.

Open the trunk Slip the trim carpet away from side of the DRIVER'S SIDE wheel well and locate the THREE WIRE connector hidden behind it. START the car and LEAVE IT RUNNING, make SURE you can see the fuel gauge through the back window easily (recline driver's seat fully) Connect the clip of the test light cord to GROUND Probe each of the three wires where they go into the connector QUICKLY, one (but not the other two) should light up the light confirming that it has a good ground. While observing the gas gauge through the rear window, probe the wires again in the same manner until you find one that when probed causes the gas gauge to peg all the way over to the "FULL" mark. Shut the car off and WAIT about 10 minutes, then restart the car. ...
VLC does not support error - Howto & fix Updated: July 12, 2014 The situation you are facing is as follows. You are a Linux user, and VLC is your media player of choice. You get the following error: 'No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "VP80". Problem The reason why you are seeing this ugly and misleading error is most likely because you have broken or incompatible media codecs installed, which do not cooperate well with the version of VLC that you have chosen. This can happen if you use multiple external, third-party repositories, all of which provide the same content. I have highlighted this issue on numerous occasions before, and the time has not chipped the importance thereof. Specifically for VLC, from the command line, it may look thusly. After you make your decision, the package manager will inform you of the changes it's making, and then it will add and remove software as needed to try to accommodate your ambiguity. And the end result is a media player that doesn't play - sad, no:
Different Racing Diagnostic Trouble Code Information 1991-1995 S-Series Only (OBD-I) The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) performs a continual self-diagnosis on many circuits of the engine control system and , if equipped, on the automatic transaxle control system. If a problem or irregularity is detected, the PCM will set either a Code or a Flag. There are two levels of PCM memory, "General Information" and "Malfunction History". Assembly Line Diagnostic Link (ALDL) There are many Saturn test procedures that require the connection of a scan tool or connecting a jumper wire to terminals A and B of the ALDL (the main diagnostic tool connector). Entering Self-Diagnosis To enter the diagnostics, either connect a scan tool to the ALDL or use a jumper wire to connect terminals A and B of the ALDL. All codes are 2 digits between 11 and 99. When diagnostic mode is entered, Code 12 is displayed 3 times. Clearing Codes PCM Learning Ability
