CHM Files & IE7 1.0
October 30, 2008 at 8:13 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentTags: desktop, Downloads, fix, mouse, open source, software-libre, tips, tricks
So you downloaded a CHM help file but it refuses to open/work properly, you get a message that makes no sense “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”. This is an unfortunate result of a change in behavior that Microsoft made in an effort to plug security holes. Fortunately, the “fix” is pretty simple -: right-mouse-button click on the .chm file, then select ‘Properties’, and under the item that says ‘Security’, click on the ‘Unblock’ option and click ‘OK’. This will confirm to Microsoft that you really wanted to open this file (as if they didn’t already know!). The same procedure can also be used on other files if you get unwanted Security Warnings.
FH solution – use Firefox

To mount ext2fs filesystems under FreeBSD, you first have to build a new kernel with ext2fs support. Put the line
options “EXT2FS”
in your kernel configuration file for the new kernel and compile.
Read the FreeBSD handbook to learn how to do that.
or
Do the following steps to enable ext2fs support in the kernel:
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ext2fs
# make
# make install
You can use ‘kldload‘ to load the ext2fs module in to the kernel.
# kldload ext2fs
Then you will be able to mount your linux partitions by giving a command like:
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad1s1 /mnt
to unload module use
# kldunload ext2fs
To load the module automatically on system startup
add the following line in to /boot/loader.conf
ext2fs_load=”YES”

VoIPerized is a so called VoIP (Voice over IP) program that enables you to make free audio calls to other people who also run VoIPerized. When making VoIPerized the focus was to minimize the latency, because other VoIP programs always seemed to have an irritating lag which makes the conversation seem unnatural. By using the OpenSource Speex audio codec, the audio quality is far higher than any normal telephone call. DirectX 8.1 or higher is required.
