President Ark posted:Had a pretty good one yesterday. Happened during the boot process. Yeah these happen pretty commonly. You are expected to plug a new keyboard in and then press the key. Its mostly a holdover from when keyboard was the only real input. With a media center you might not need a keyboard and just have a USB IR receiver and a remote, though you probably should just get a wireless keyboard or leave one tucked away in case you need maintenance. Still it's something that should be gotten rid of now on most things. I was going to say other than linux servers, but you are probably just going to remote into them. I see zero need for a BIOS to demand a keyboard. pixaal fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Sep 4, 2014 |

If I plug in only a USB IR remote, my Dell laptop won't boot without pressing a key on the internal keyboard which is quite annoying since it's ostenibly my HTPC. Oddly if I plug a wireless keyboard/mouse dongle as well it boots fine.

Yeah, but when that error message first appeared, keyboards were the non-hotswappable PS2 and you couldn't plug in a keyboard without robooting. So, it truly was a useless error message. It was literally impossible to 'Press F1' to continue

It probably used less space in ROM to call the same "press f1 to continue" subroutine for every error rather than building an exception for a keyboard error, especially on a computer that could reasonably be useless without one.

 It then decided it couldn't upload for an unspecified reason.

I was trying to import data to a MySQL database via the command line utility:code:Turns out D:\Temp is the server's temp drive, not my local one, and I had filled it.

I guess WSAT's a little weird about running with silent denial of admin cred elevation.

Girlfriend just sent me this one: A .docx file that won't export to PDF, instead generating the above error. Just what you need when you're finishing a job! HalloKitty fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Oct 9, 2014 |

That's less bad if it's a third party print-to-PDF driver, but that's pretty unacceptable if it's Word's internal "save to PDF" function.

Still, it could at least show an error code or something.
