Many of you have faced a situation where you do not want to create a new form with associated with a new spreadsheet, just because you want to reset the counters.
As you might be aware by now that its not possible to delete existing responses, hence the only means left is to reset the form.

I have listed below the steps (including snapshots) so as to reset form counters.
Credit goes to Ahab ( from Google docs forum )

This is a sample form

Spreadsheet associated with it

Now spreadsheet after filling few sample responses

Our task now is to remove clean up this and start from scratch. Or reset the link of the form to the spreadsheet and set the couner Form(2) to 0

Step 1: Move the sheet that should receive the form submits to the far left of your sheets, select this sheet and go to the Form tab.
Important: Should you omit this step the form may become reconnected to the wrong sheet!

Add a blank sheet Sheet2

Now we want the responses to be correctly stored in Sheet2. move it to the leftmost

Go to the sheet and open the form editor:

Keep the editor open all the time

Step2 Go back to the spreadheet and delete the form (Form->Delete form), wait a little bit and check in the spreadsheet the form menu item now reads plain Form , i.e without any counter after Form.

Counter changes to 0 after delete

Delete the sheet1 which was associated with the form

Step 3 Go back to the form editor which you left open, edit one of the questions, but make no changes to it, just click Done.

Click save afterwards.

Now your sheet2 is populated with the form column names.

Now close the form editor and start filling the form.

Hope this helps!!!

Totem does not play the avi/divx codec movies out of the box. There is a workaround. Even if trying to install missing plugins, it fails.

Solution :
Add rpmfusion free and non-free repositories from here

Once its done, install VLC player (Don’t criticize me yet, there is more ).
For some reason after you open the movie again in Totem player, and try installing plugins, it will install the missing ones now. Then close the open player and reopen it. It will now be able to play all the files.

Enjoy!!

Dell does not provide supported drivers for Vista 64 bit. For the Graphics card 965, when you select 32bit to download and install, it does not work

The resolution is simple. Go to the Intel support site here and check the compatible driver for your install and you are done!!!

PS : User internet explorer and not chrome as it needs to install activex controls.

Comment the below lines in /etc/rc.sysinit

if [ ! -d /proc/bus/usb ]; then
modprobe usbcore >/dev/null 2>&1 && mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
else
mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
fi

Restart the PC and you are done. I now happily access my Nokia E61i through Nokia PC Suite!

Initialize the Front volume to 0dB with
$alsactl init
One that is done, reset the master volume to 100 (using arrow keys)
$alsamixer -c0

Port 25 which is generally used by all the mail servers is blocked by default by KPN. This as I have been told is to prevent SPAM going from personal workstations.

Issue :
You cannot configure your mail.server.com SMTP and port 25. While sending emails, you will get a messag that connection timed out.

Resolution:
Instead of the setting the SMTP to mail.server.com (your email server), set it the the kpn mail server (mail.kpnmail.nl) and thats it! Do not set any encryption on outgoing messages. Attached is a screenshot with the settings.

BUILD AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
———————————–

hybrid-portsrc-x86_64-v5_10_91_9.tar.gz

On the target machine, setup the source/hybrid/build directory

1. Create a new directory: mkdir hybrid_wl
2. Go to that directory: cd hybrid_wl
3. Untar the 64 bit file to that directory
64 bit: tar -xzf /hybrid-portsrc-x86_64-v5_10_91_9.tar.gz

After untar’ing you should have a src and lib sub directory plus a Linux
2.6 “kbuild” external makefile (Makefile). The lib sub directory has the pre-built binary, wlc_hybrid.o_shipped.

You use the standard Linux 2.6 kernel build system as follows to make a Linux loadable kernel module (LKM):

On the target machine, and cd’ed to the directory that contains the Makefile (fragment)

Cleanup is essential otherwise the old driver may cause a conflict going forward.

4. Cleanup (optional): make -C /lib/modules//build M=`pwd` clean
5. Build the LKM, i.e. wl.ko: make -C /lib/modules//build M=`pwd`


There will be a file name LKM, wl.ko inside this directory.

On this or a machine with the same kernel version, install the driver.

1. Validate you don’t have loaded (or built into the kernel) the Linux community provided
driver for Broadcom hardware. This exists in two forms: either “bcm43xx” or a split form

of “b43″ plus “b43legacy”. If these modules were loaded you would either
a) rmmod bcm43xx or
b) rmmod b43; rmmod b43legacy
1a. Validate you don’t have a older wl.ko driver loaded from previous install.

If the module exist, remove it and replace with new driver:
a) rmmod wl.ko
2. Replacing existing driver with wl.ko just build in step 5 above.
(most likely path to find wl.ko is: /lib/modules//kernel/driver/net/wireless

or /lib/modules//kernel.net/update/)
3. depmod
4. modprobe wl

And you are done!!

Happy wireless surfing on Fedora 10 64bit.

EDIT : To automatically search wi-fi connections, install wifi-radar
yum install wifi-radar

I have a DELL Omnivision 1350 webcam on my PC and had a great deal to get it run.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

The trick is to install the UVC video and then it should work.
Download the rpm from here

#tar -zxvf uvcvideo-1b4c7a6b9d26.tar.gz
#make install

Once this is installed, check with ekiga and it will work!

Fedora 12
Download the skype beta 2.1.x from the skype website.
There are some prerequisites which need to be installed for Skype to work on Fedora 12. They are as below :

yum install libXv.i686*
yum install libXScrnSaver.i686*
yum install qt.i686
yum install qt-x11*.i686
yum install libsigc++ libsigc++.i686 qt.i686 qt


And you should be done !!

Edit :
If your video does not work and gives the below error :
X Error, request 132, minor 18, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
X Error, request 132, minor 18, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
X Error, request 132, minor 18, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Then resolve it by using the below command:
$export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
$skype

—Fedora 10
Finally after doing a lot of googling I got skype running with video on my DELL Inspiron 1525.

Download the skype beta 2.2 for Fedora here

The trick is to install the 32 bit libraries in your 64 bit installation ( Thanks Vernon)


# yum install qt-x11.i386
# yum install libXScrnSaver.i386

Once the above packages are installed, then run the installation for skype
# rpm -ivh skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586.rpm

Now the fun part. There is a sort of conflict of skype using the PULSE audio. You need to remove the alsa-pulse plugin so as to make it work. You need to remove any dependency.


#rpm -qa | grep pulse | grep alsa ( will give you the alsa-pulse plugin)
#rpm -e kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.1-6.20090206svn.fc10.noarch
#rpm -e alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.x86_64

Restart the PC. Then login, open skype -> righ click tray icon skyp -> Option
In the Sound Devices for (Sound In, Sound Out, Ringin ) select the hw driver from the list

Check this post if the video does not work here
And skype would run as a charm.
