The file was never originality saved on my computer though. It was basically a fresh image from Photoshop.

I actually have a picture on my computer that is the exact opposite. It was a black and white photo, and if I remember right, the exact steps I took were, 1. right click on the image in my browser and click copy, 2. paste into Photoshop and colorize it, and 3. save the image. Now the thumbnail in windows explorer is black and white, while the actual image is in color. I have never had this happen any other time.

(on a side note, your computer spells October weird. I'm from America, and only speak english, so if it is a foreign thing, that would explain it.)

It would be funny to make a linux box look as close a possible to a windows distro, and give them access to that, and see what happens from there... Wink

I used to be pretty good at poker. Not so much anymore, but I still enjoy playing it. If we can get enough people, Im in.

Just jumping into unity without any documentation, and knowing that in older versions of ubuntu, pressing the super key did nothing, he probably didn't know that you could push it to open the "start menu." I don't like unity either. Thats why I installed the kde desktop on top of ubuntu (can't remember why, but there is a reason I'm not using the physical kubuntu distro.)

Cool that you have a fix that doesn't require another package smiley
kind of a good thing too, because I can't find that package on my server. (trying to type apt-get install says it can't find it, and it isn't installed either.)

One thing to try is to send an Email to an invalid address to see what your mail servers NDRs are supposed to look like. As it's entirely possible (they won't match) that the mail is getting (bank shotted) bounced a few times before it gets to you.
I use google apps for my mail server.

I think I will setup a spf record for my domain name. Hopefully that will help a little in some way.

edit:well it appears I already have an spf record setup. (I don't manage the dns for my domain, someone else does. They may have set it up.)
I also decided that I will just disable my catchall setting on my google apps account, and actually create email aliases instead of using the catchall as an alias.

I actually found a different fix that works. I needed to add the dns servers to the etc/network/interfaces file, and that seems to update the resolv.conf file everytime I reboot the server.
35  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Any way to make ubuntu server dns changes permanent? on: July 05, 2012, 12:02:04 AM
I have a computer setup running ubuntu server 12.04, with a static ip, and every time I reboot it, it loses it's ability to do dns lookups. The only way I can fix this is by changing the etc/resolv.conf file and adding custom dns servers to it. Though as stated earlier, upon reboot, this file reverts to default, and my server can no longer do dns lookups. I've googled, and found one fix that said to do some chattr command, but that just gives me the error "chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on resolv.conf". There was also another fix that said to add the dns servers to a file in the folder etc/dhcp3. The problem with that fix is, that folder doesn't even exist. Is there some place else that I can add custom dns servers that will persist between reboots.

Exact commands would be very helpful, because I am still a linux newb, and am still learning the terminal.

I've setup a gmail label in my account, so new whenever I see one of the return to sender emails, I just add it to the label so that later I can go back and examine it.

Guess I'm SOL then. Just one of the many perks of owning your own domain name. Grin

Edit: wow, I just checked my spam folder, and found 7 more... ohmy

That kind of sucks to hear, but I was almost expecting that.
39  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Someone may be maliciously using my domain name on: June 29, 2012, 12:44:35 PM
Recently I have been getting returned mail delivery errors stating that "somerandomname(at)mydomainnamehere(dot)com" could not be delivered, because the recipient doesn't exist. I know for a fact that this is not my doing, because I use, and am the admin of the google apps account that creates email accounts for my domain name, and none of the accounts that are sending these emails are real. So I am guessing someone is spoofing their email address and using my domain name to do it. I looked at the returned mail email error, and it said the email was mailed-by host102(dot)host102-server(dot)com.

There was a file attached to the error message that apparently gives me more information on the person who is doing it. Their name is apparently Phoebe Henry, and the reply to address is Annette Thompson.

I won't attach the file here, because it has this Annette person's email in it. If someone wan'ts me to though, I can remove their email, and then attach the file here.

any help on how to put an end to this would be much appreciated. I don't want this person/people to send an email to a real person, and have me take the blame for it.

Boat anchor? lol, jk. I like the idea of ripping them apart and playing with the magnets. I might have to do that to my old dead drives.
41  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Chrome Extensions: Your favorite or most useful on: March 24, 2012, 04:47:49 PM
Adblock Plus (beta) - I hate ads
Fullscreen address bar - I wish chrome was more like FF in fullscreen
Hover Zoom - I look at devart profiles almost everyday, and this makes it so I don't have to open each image separatly.
Live CSS Editor - For when people think white text on a black background is a good idea.
RSS Subscription Extension (by Google) - because chrome doesn't support rss by default (wtf?!)
View Image Info (properties) - because chrome doesn't have a view image info by default (again wtf?!)
WOT - because I hate evil websites.
StumbleUpon - For when I am bored and have nothing else to do.

I ran web platform installer and told it to install php. I'm going to see if I can figure out what perms php has, and see if that fixes it.
43  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Need help with server 2008 r2 website file permissions on: March 18, 2012, 08:47:19 PM
I'm running a website on a windows server 2008 R2 box. I have wordpress installed on it, and if I upload an image, the uploaded image gets the required permissions (iusr and iis_iusrs both have permission to touch it.)
I am experimenting with a CMS that doesn't use a database (testing gpeasy right now) So far everything seems to work great with it, but when I upload images via the CMS' built in image uploader, iis_iusrs isn't added to the list of users that can touch the image. This causes the image to not be viewable. Is there a way that I can fix this so that any files that are added by the CMS will auto allow both iusr and iis_iusrs to touch them?
It's really annoying having to remote into the server just to fix the permissions every time I want to upload an image, and I don't really want to stay with wordpress, because it runs too slow on iis (at least on my server it does).

well thats weird. my email digests never did that. I always thought youtube was broken. I guess it's just my account thats messed up.
45  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Whats the point of subcribing to a youtube playlist/show? on: March 14, 2012, 05:58:32 PM
but does it show playlists and shows you are subscribed to? I used to get those emails (not sure why I don't anymore) and I don't really remember ever seeing the playlists I subscribed to showing up in those emails either.
46  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Whats the point of subcribing to a youtube playlist/show? on: March 14, 2012, 05:14:38 PM
Thats what I assumed it was for but:
It doesn't do anything. Back when youtube had the subscription box, the subscribed shows/playlists wouldn't show up in the sub box, and with the new (terrible) homepage, they don't show up either.
47  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Whats the point of subcribing to a youtube playlist/show? on: March 13, 2012, 08:26:29 PM
I've noticed that there is a subscribe button on youtube playlist pages, and on show pages. I don't see what the point is. It doesn't do anything. Back when youtube had the subscription box, the subscribed shows/playlists wouldn't show up in the sub box, and with the new (terrible) homepage, they don't show up either.

I had the permissions problem also, but ever since I disabled the UAC, I now own my computer again, and I can save files anywhere I want.

50  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Win 7 Bootable VHD as a viable alternative to OS backup image? on: February 15, 2012, 08:06:36 PM
ie. Instead of maybe just suffering a filesystem aberration on a single system 4kB file that is, possibly, easily fixable, you could now suffer it on a multi-GB file where a single corruption will render the whole thing useless.
I did not think of that.

With ultimate or enterprise you can add the vhd with bcdedit as a boot option
Thats also available with professional which is what I have. I did that when I tried out windows 8 dev preview.

edit:well what do you know. Upon further research, I just found out that I can't do any of this. You can only install ult and ent on a bootable vhd.
