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.)

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.)

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.

Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Any way to make ubuntu server dns changes permanent?
|

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.

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.

Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Need help with server 2008 r2 website file permissions
|

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).

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.
