Once you've got a windows service built and running, you'll discover the next major gotcha: it's a pain to debug. There's no terminal (and hence no stdout/stderr) and as soon as you try to run the executable it actually launches the service then returns to you.
It's a boiler plate C++ service project that has self install/uninstall functionality and logs service start and stop events to the windows event log. It can be stopped and started through the services app (snapin) like other services. You may want to initially give it LocalSystem rights to see it working , as on xp at least it doesn't have enough rights to start with the project provided rights of LocalService. The Visual Studio 2008 project otherwise runs out of the box despite the downloaded instructions implying otherwise.
Hello -- I have a super-old (mid-2000's) app that is already installed on a Windows device, and was wondering if there was some way to convert it to a docker image, similar to how you can "P-to-V" convert an existing computer to a VM image?
I recently moved back to Windows from Linux. I have some files with CRLFs, some with LFs and some that are mixed. Is there a utility that will help me find all my Unix-touched files and convert them to proper CRLF terminated files?
Notepad++ is one of the best, free, open source notepad programs for Windows. It is very simple and powerful. It handled the line ending search/replace just fine. A contractor check a bunch of .c and .h files in to our repository with Linux \r\n line endings, but since most people have standardized on Windows/Eclipse build tools, the files won't build until the line endings are converted.
Use a text editor that understands both line endings like SciTE, or Notepad++ if you don't need to convert all line ending in all your files, but just don't want to see the entire file bunched up on the first line.
I did not know that, thank you for the info, although I thought VirtIO was the fastest non-emulated driver, why use SCSI, is it slower (apologies for my lack of knowledge).
OK, I have just added a 2nd SCSI HDD in the Virsh VM (with VirtIO SCSI controller), booted the VM and made sure SCSI drivers are all good. Shutdown the VM, then change the Boot drive from VirtIO to SCSI, rebooted the VM, all good. I then shutdown, converted the qcow2 image, copied to LXD VM location (as per above), and now the Windows LXD VM boots fine, no issues.
Thanks for your help.
Thank you for replying, I know I can manually convert line ending, but I have to do this manually for every each single file, I really hope I can do this automatically.
Also I know how to write script to convert all the files together, but that would lead a huge change list on our P4, will affect all the other colleagues, so I hope to do it quietly, single file each time I edited it.
If convert cannot lock the drive (for example, the drive is the system volume or the current drive), you are given the option to convert the drive the next time you restart the computer. If you cannot restart the computer immediately to complete the conversion, plan a time to restart the computer and allow extra time for the conversion process to complete.
For volumes converted from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS:
Due to existing disk usage, the MFT is created in a different location than on a volume originally formatted with NTFS, so volume performance might not be as good as on volumes originally formatted with NTFS. For optimal performance, consider recreating these volumes and formatting them with the NTFS file system. Volume conversion from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS leaves the files intact, but the volume might lack some performance benefits compared to volumes initially formatted with NTFS. For example, the MFT might become fragmented on converted volumes. In addition, on converted boot volumes, convert applies the same default security that is applied during Windows Setup.
NVivo on Windows and Mac are separate software applications with different project file formats (file extensions: .nvp for Windows and .nvpx for Mac). You can convert projects between the platforms however there are limitations such that, while you can successfully convert a project on a once-off basis it is not recommended you convert between the formats on an ongoing basis.
You do not need to convert an NVivo Mac project to an NVivo Windows file format. Simply open an NVivo Mac project (.nvpx) directly in NVivo Windows (the project must have the same major version number as NVivo Windows). The project is converted automatically into the Windows format (.nvp). As an alternative, consider importing the content from an NVivo Mac project into an NVivo Windows project Merge/import projects.
The Adobe DNG Converter enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files from supported cameras to a more universal DNG raw file. Another benefit of using the DNG Converter is backward compatibility.
A raw file contains the "raw" data captured by the digital camera sensor before it has been converted to JPEG or TIFF formats. Cameras that create JPEG or TIFF files process (and in the case of JPEG files, compress) the sensor data. When working with raw files, the file is not compressed or processed in the camera. Instead, software gives the user complete control over the conversion settings. For example, white balance is not applied to the raw file but is stored with the file so the software can default to the originally-intended setting. Other information contained in a DNG file includes standard EXIF metadata (just like in JPEG files), date, time, camera used, and camera settings.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an openly published raw file specification that stores the "raw" pixel data captured by the digital camera sensor before it has been converted to JPEG or TIFF formats, along with standard EXIF metadata, date, time, camera used, and camera settings. This format is freely available for other software and hardware vendors to support.
This article describes methods to convert SSDs from MBR (Master Boot Record) to GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition structure. If you have the legacy boot option set in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), it's possible the drive partition table is Master Boot Record (MBR).
You can use the Apple Music app on Mac or iTunes for Windows to convert song files between compressed and uncompressed formats. For example, you might want to import some uncompressed files into your music library as compressed files to save disk space. Examples of compressed formats are MP3 and Apple Lossless Encoder. Examples of uncompressed formats are AIFF or WAV.
You can import songs into the Apple Music app or iTunes for Windows and convert them at the same time. This creates a converted copy of the file in your music library, based on your preferences in the Apple Music app or iTunes for Windows.
When you convert a file with the Apple Music app or iTunes for Windows, the original file remains unchanged in the same location. The Apple Music app and iTunes for Windows creates the converted file from a copy of the original.
When you convert a song to certain compressed formats, some data might be lost. These compressed formats give you a much smaller file size, which lets you store more songs. But, the sound quality might not be as good as the original, uncompressed format.
If you compress a song and it loses data, you can't uncompress it to retrieve the data. If you convert a song from a compressed to an uncompressed format, its quality doesn't improve. The file only takes up more disk space. An example is when you convert a song in MP3 format (a compressed format) to AIFF (an uncompressed format). The song takes up much more space on your hard disk, but sounds the same as the compressed file. To take advantage of uncompressed formats, you should import songs in these formats.

A plugin for Kubernetes command-line tool kubectl, which allows you to convert manifests between different APIversions. This can be particularly helpful to migrate manifests to a non-deprecated api version with newer Kubernetes release.For more info, visit migrate to non deprecated apis
PuTTY doesn't natively support the private key format (.pem) that Amazon EC2 generates. Before you can use PuTTY to connect to your instance, you must convert your private key into a .ppk file. Use the PuTTYgen tool for this conversion.
Microsoft Word's built-in PDF converter is generally very good, but always be sure to double-check for formatting changes in your PDF document, and especially check any graphics, illustrations, and tables that were part of your document to make sure they converted properly. In rare instances, you may have to convert lesser-known image formats (for example, those used by proprietary engineering programs) to a more popular format like .tiff or .jpg before doing the conversion to PDF format.
When you want to switch firmware type from the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) to Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) without modifying the current installation or deleting the data stored on the drive, or you plan to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11, you can convert the drive using a Master Boot Record (MBR) to a GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style using the "MBR2GPT" tool.
