Plain-text prompt.
Let's see, it goes gray apple with spinny thing, loading Mac OS X blue screen, black-screen with white text plain-text prompt for login.
If I boot up normally, it goes through all that and after a flash of the black-screen it goes to a blank blue screen that I can move the cursor around on with the mouse but otherwise does nothing.
I have not tried verbose mode, but I will in a moment!
Thanks very much, amych, it's fantastic to have something else to try and confirmation that this is bizarre.
OK, booting in verbose mode gets me a bunch of text that doesn't stick around long enough for me to make sense of it, then a blank blue screen, then the same console login screen that I get in "safe" mode, then a blank blue screen again (before I have a chance to log in), then a black screen with what looks like a block cursor in the upper left. It cycles back and forth between those last two.
I also tried putting it into Target mode and using my laptop to run Disk First Aid or whatever it's called on it. No problems found.
And my husband has found a corrupted Framework file and replaced it. That seems to have done the trick.
OK, I had to add the following function to as asp.net page:
Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter)
Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=StandardReport.xls")
DataList1.RenderControl(writer)
OK, I had to add the following function to as asp.net page:
Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter)
Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=StandardReport.xls")
DataList1.RenderControl(writer)
end sub
This works fine (document opens as an excel spreasheet.) But now I want to modify the page to either output to excel or to regular html (using an if statement for the server-executed code). The problem is since my new subroutine overrides the Render function, I have to specify the content type and header for a normal http/html web page. I'm not sure what to use. So far I have this:
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "what goes here")
I think the first one is correct, but I don't know about the second. Googling has failed me so far because everything I've found is about the non-html exceptions (pef, etc.) Any guesses as to what this should be?
eta: Or I suppose it's possible that the
Protected Overrides Sub Render
messes things up more for http/html and I'd have to do more to fix it, in which case I might just have to have two versions of the page.
eta² OK, I gave up and made two separate pages. Pro'lly a bad idea to tell the compiler, "OK, I want to override this function - no wait, I don't."
On my iBook G4, anytime I start up from a shut down, my skype auto-starts. How can I make it stop doing that?
Right-click the Skype icon in the dock and unselect "open at login." I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally ticked that box for something ridonkulous like Photoshop that I really DON'T need opening every time I turn on the computer.
yeah, it is unchecked there.
On a pc, you could run msconfig and turn it off that way - I assume there's some parallel process for the iBook.
