Personalising Learning Environments with Quick Response (QR) Codes
by John Billings 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Hi, There will be an interesting meeting next month presented by NZCS, Tuesday evening from 5:30 to 7pm, 10th November. WLUG members are invited to attend: http://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop/87-Personalising_Learning_Environ… It's a free event but please register. I originally approached Dr. John Clayton to give a talk to WLUG about the work he's done with Moodle in the past. I also asked if I could interview him for community radio, which we did last week. In the course of the interview, he told me his new work involves researching QR Codes in education, and we thought that might be an interesting topic for a presentation. Since we are having an AGM next month and it was too late to organize it this month, I pitched the talk over to David at NZCS and he's organized that now. The first part of my interview with John is available here, where he does talk about Moodle: http://newitmake.org.nz/podcasts/audio/show/21-episode-15-dr-john-clayton The second part, where he talks about QR Codes will be played on Community Radio Hamilton this Thursday, at 2pm and the podcast will be available soon. Cheers, John

Hi there If you feel like having a life-time email address @linux.com and a spare 250USD (150USD for the email address, 99USD/a for the Linux Foundation membership), then have a look here: http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/biz-enterprise/127569-new-benefits-off… Student memberships are cheaper, only 25USD/a. Apparently, you do get cheaper deals at Lenovo, Dell and HP with that membership and also some other discounts. Check out the website mentioned above.

by Tim Knapp 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

NEW ZEALAND PYTHON USER GROUP Media Statement October 5, 2009 IMMEDIATE RELEASE "How a programming language is changing the Web" The main keynote speaker at Kiwi PyCon 2009, Joel Burton, an internationally recognised trainer and presenter, will explain how the programming language Python is becoming the language of choice for developing websites due to its simplicity and flexibility. The conference will be held at the Canterbury Innovation Incubator in Christchurch on November 7th and 8th. Other tracks at the conference will include: GUI, Science & Math, Game, and Applications. The conference will also have a dedicated Web track, which will include presentations about many Python web technologies, such as: Django, Twisted, Zope 3, Grok, and Plone. The conference has attracted a lot of interest from many universities throughout the country and staff and students from Auckland, Massey, Canterbury, and Otago universities will be presenting regarding how they've used Python in their research. “As Christchurch has the reputation of being the Silicon Valley of New Zealand, its been really great to see a number of electronics companies in Christchurch support the event”, said Tim Knapp, the conference Director. Tait Electronics, a radio communications manufacturer, is a Gold sponsor for the event. “The positive response we've received from the IT community in New Zealand has been really encouraging” commented Mr. Knapp. “Really, no matter what industry your business is in, this conference will be of benefit to you.” Registration closes on October 23rd and registrations are limited.

GUI frontend for pypdf
by Peter Reutemann 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Hi there A couple of weeks ago, I needed to join two PDFs together into a single one on my Ubuntu box. Problem was, that I could only find command-line tools like pdftk to do the job, but no GUI frontend like pdftk_builder or guipdftk, which are only available for Windows. When I happened to come across the pypdf Python library (http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/) I told myself, maybe a little bit of Python-hacking could fill the void. Well, there you have it... pyPdf-GUI, a little pygtk and glade based Python frontend, released under the BSD license. And, since I thought this software might be useful to other people as well, you can find it here available for download: http://pypdfgui.fracpete.de/ On that (rather basic) website, you can download an Ubuntu 9.04 .deb package and a source archive (for other Linux flavors or older Ubuntu versions). One final note: this is the absolute first release, so expect some bugs to be lurking in the code. :-) Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

wlug server status
by John Billings 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

To anyone using the WLUG server, Hoiho the blade hosting the home directory for user accounts, has a failing hard drive. Please don't keep any important data here, and if you do have something there now, this would be a good time to back it up. Today I was informed there is only about 600 MB of space left there. Most of the space is taken by some database backups, and I don't really see the point in removing them, when no one should be using this drive anyway. We have a replacement blade for hoiho installed which has a larger drive, but it's not plugged into the right port on the switch or something. Someone has to go to the datacenter to sort it out. Hopefully this month we will get someone up there, but we can't guarantee the drive won't fail before then. Just an FYI we are having an AGM 23rd Nov., and we will be proposing to add a sysadmin role in Rule 7 of the charter. This person would just be required to keep up with whats going on with the server, coordinate things, and make sure people are abiding the AUP. http://wlug.org.nz/WlugCharter http://wlug.org.nz/HoihoAcceptableUsePolicy Best, John

Software Freedom Day roundup
by Bruce Kingsbury 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

My first impression was that SFD was a disaster (entirely my fault of course!) because quite a few things went wrong and we were fairly disorganized, but others have told me I'm just being a pessimist and looking back it actually seems to have been pretty successful. We gave away 130 OpenDisc-lite CDs on eday, and at least another 100 OpenDisk-plus DVDs on SFD (I'm not sure how many we started with but over 100 and we've got very few left), about 60 Ubuntu CDs, we've got 38 feedback forms, Liz's photos look great, still waiting for others to get photos uploaded, and the video looks pretty good too (yay kino and being able to adjust the gamma). So a big thanks and well done to everyone who came along (and if you didn't, how about getting involved next year?!)

SFDbarcamp
by John Billings 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

We have a really nice venue for Software Freedom Day this year, and we are trying to come up with ideas to best utilize it. So one of those ideas is to have a barcamp, where anyone can give a presentation on anything they are interested in. I've put up a page here to get things started: http://wlug.org.nz/SFDbarcamp If we don't fill up that page, you can always sign up the day of, or if you change your mind or something, we won't hold you to anything. It's basically an open mic kind of thing, as long as the talk is somehow related to FOSS. You can do slides if you want, we will have a projector. Please edit the page above or let me know if you want to give a talk or have any thoughts or suggestions. - John

Richard Stallman on Software Patents
by David Hallett 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

30 September 2009: 12:00pm - 2:00pm Events Room 1, Gallagher Hub Wintec City Campus, Gate 5 Tristram Street, Hamilton In this insightful discussion, international Free Software advocate Richard Stallman (RMS) will argue that software patents seriously and significantly obstruct software development. Software patents are patents that cover software ideas. Stallman will argue that they restrict the development of software to the point that the risk of legal action as a result of design decisions is dramatically raised. Stallman will also make the point that patents in other fields restrict factories, but in IT, software patents restrict every computer user and consumer. Stallman will also present some of the international research and economic data related to this issue. Light refreshments provided. About The Speaker Richard Stallman is a software developer and software freedom activist. In 1983 he announced the project to develop the GNU operating system, a Unix-like operating system meant to be entirely free software, and has been the project's leader ever since. With that announcement Stallman also launched the Free Software Movement. In October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation. Registration Details: Registration is free but essential. Places are limited - please register to secure your place. http://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop/70-Richard_Stallman_on_Software_P…

There are lots of different files in each directory; I took some time to recap and I think I may have caused the problem. I downloaded something called: Noctropolis_English_Uncensored. The download contained: Noctropolis_English_Uncensored.ccd 2.7kb Noctropolis_English_Uncensored.img 602.2mb Noctropolis_English_Uncensored.sub 24.5mb Noctropolis-Manual.pdf unreadable with document viewer "unknown mime type" I copied them to a c/d found they were unreadable so saved them as an iso on my hard drive.

Bootkit Bypasses TrueCrypt Encryption
by Peter Reutemann 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Just came across this article on slashdot, about how a bootkit is used to bypass TrueCrypt's encryption in a rather elegant way: http://it.slashdot.org/story/09/08/01/2247225/Bootkit-Bypasses-TrueCrypt-En… At least, there is some form of protection possible, since anti-virus software fails completely at detecting the bootkit: "However, administrator privileges or physical access to a system are required for an infection. At present, only machines running the traditional BIOS are vulnerable. The attack is unsuccessful when the BIOS successor the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is at work on the motherboard. The most effective protection appears to be encrypting the entire hard disk with software that is based on the Trusted Platform Module (TPM)."

If you attended the last WLUG workshop, you might have heard that question and some others, and even recorded your response. If your interested in hearing the finished product, you can listen in to New It Make on Thursday at 2pm, on Community Radio Hamilton, or if you can't wait for that you can download an mp3 from here: http://newitmake.org.nz/site/audio/show/6-episode-four-part-1 I plagiarized the idea from this video: http://questioncopyright.org/public_perception_of_copyright Thanks to those who participated!

I want to re-score some music (on paper) from tenor clef to bass clef and would like to use Rosegarden on my Ubuntu box to do this. I have read the tutorial at www.rosegardenmusic.com but I am still finding it hard to work out the basics of writing the music on-screen. Are there any local users of Rosegarden who could assist me?

Fun with windows xp..............
by jaytee＠clear.net.nz 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi All, I am currently trying to recover three hundred media files from a windows system that keeps rebooting. With Puppy fire-hydrant the machine ran for a long time without error. I could access the windows drive and the files I wish to recover. The usb drive was mounted and had read write permissions. the problem was I could only copy ONE file at a time.. ON to Knoppix which also ran well, I could access the directories and bulk copy the files but could not mount the usb drive for some bizarre reason. Went to windows where everything I needed is available but it started rebooting as soon as it got warmed up.. My next course of action may be to remove the drive from the machine so that I can copy the info directly to another drive. However if some one knows a simple fix for the usb mount in Knoppix I would like to hear from you. Regards John

Fwd: FW: Google announces Chrome operating system

08 Jul '09

-----Original Message----- From: Roderick Aldridge [mailto:rod-aldridge(a)xnet.co.nz] Sent: Thursday, 9 July 2009 9:26 a.m. To: Waikato Linux Users Group Subject: Google announces Chrome operating system Speculation that Google is developing a web-focused operating system is confirmed by the announcement. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html "Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. ........................... The software architecture is simple - Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform." Big long-term implications for FOSS, Microsoft and many others.

Fwd: [FSF] New Zealand in urgent danger of software patents
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hello dear Waikato Linux Users Group, Just wanted to make sure you saw this massage and call for action from the Free Software Foundation. Best, Aleksey Tsalolikhin UNIX Sys Admin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Brown <peterb(a)fsf.org> Date: Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 2:35 PM Subject: [FSF] New Zealand in urgent danger of software patents To: info-fsf(a)gnu.org The director of the End Software Patents campaign Ciaran O'Riordan writes to warn of an imminent threat of software patents in New Zealand: Dear Free Software Supporters, The New Zealand government has proposed allowing unlimited software patenting. They are accepting comments until July 2nd, but participation from the people who will be harmed seems very low. The details of how to participate can be found on swpat.org: http://en.swpat.org/wiki/New_Zealand Participation of the free software community is particularly important because, although SME federations and consumer rights groups are sometimes the most influential lobbies against software patents, it's often the free software community that raises awareness of the issue and gets these other groups moving. The July 2nd deadline is very close, so work is needed now. We thus urge you to participate in the consultation, but also to raise awareness on blogs, news sites, and among email groups, and to contact related interest organisations and companies to ask them to get involved too. Some other swpat.org pages that may be useful: http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Organising_a_campaign http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Software_patents_harm_SMEs http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Studies_on_economics_and_innovation http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Harm_to_standards Ciaran O'Riordan Director End Software Patents Tel: +32 487 64 17 54 email: ciaran [at] fsf.org end. -- Peter T.

Fwd: Resignation
by Chris O'Halloran 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Resignation From: James Pluck <james(a)courage.co.nz> To: Waikato Linux Users Group <wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> Date: Thursday 09:23:02 Dear WLUG Members, In the last month to 6 weeks my wife and I have been asked by CYFS to undertake the care of two more foster children in permanent placements. Because of the changes this new circumstance has made to our lives and to our schedules I find that I can no longer guarantee to attend all WLUG and WLUG-committee meetings. As President this is not acceptable to me. As I am also the Librarian this means that the library is unavailable to members. This I also cannot condone in myself. So out of respect for the WLUG I tender my resignation from the position of president and from the Committee and Librarian position effective immediately. I do not do this happily as I would much prefer to finish the year completing what I promised to do, but this is in the best interests of the WLUG. I will remain a financial member of the WLUG as I still believe in FOSS and still enjoy the many friendships I have made. In the interim, Bruce will step up from VP to President and Liz Quilty will move into the role of VP. John Billings has offered to take over the library. I wish Bruce, Liz, John and the rest of the committee the very best and will remain available to assist where I can with events. The remaining members of the committee will appoint an interim seventh committee member shortly. Thank you for your trust in me and I apologise for being unable to see it through. However, my family commitments must take priority. Wishing you all well. James Pluck WLUG Past President.

VOIP Presentation
by Chris O'Halloran 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Greetings, I've created a web safe version of my presentation this evening (scrubbed phone numbers and contact details) and corrected a few spelling errors. I've also included a few links at the end of the presentation in response to some of the questions I fielded at the end of the evening. http://www.wlug.org.nz/~cmoman/voip_presentation/VOIP_presentation_20090622… For those of you considering the VOIP route as a replacement for your phone line, consider taking things one step at a time. Ie get your VOIP up and working before going the Naked DSL route. Make sure you are comfortable with the level of reliability of your VOIP service: No power, no phone. router offline, no phone. Special services such as alarm monitoring or St John ambulance etc aren't suitable for VOIP. A good starting point is using 2talks free service. It doesn't cost anything to set up an account and gives you a few free minutes a month such that you configure and test your hardware/softphone. It's always free to make calls to other 2talk users.

decent, independent statistics for New Zealand internet users?
by Stuart A. Yeates 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Does anyone know whether there is anyone producing decent statistics of New Zealand internet users? I'm aware that the area is fraught, I'm really just looking for an analysis from someone that can at least spell "vested interest" and "self-selected sample." Ideally the statistics would include things like: 1) OS / browser used 2) bandwidth of connection 3) use of English/Maori and/or ethnicity 4) social networking sites used The best I've found so far is: http://www.aut.ac.nz/research/research-institutes/icdc/projects/world-inter… which has good coverage of (2) and the ethnicity aspects of (3). I've also got our own google analytics stats with >a million "unique users", but this these seem to be pretty much contaminated by the fact that _lots_ of our users access our site from school. cheers stuart

Turning off pulseaudio in Ubuntu 9.04
by Peter Reutemann 04 Jun '09

Hi there I had problems on my MSI Wind U100 work laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 getting sound to work in Skype (video was working out of the box). Knowing that pulseaudio behaved erratic on my Dell's Intel chipset under 8.10 (sound just disappeared after a day - only solution that worked was to reboot!), I attempted to turn off pulseaudio as well. After completely switching over to ALSA again, everything was working again as expected. :-) The following blog entry did the trick for me: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-be… Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

Has anyone noticed any issues with burning discs with Brasero in Ubuntu 9.04?

In the process of setting them up nicely with codecs, flash, educational software etc I've created a nice 'standard image' and a script to install it via the network and modify the fstab and grub appropriately so I can go from a zero-wiped drive to a well configured working machine ready to donate in five or ten minutes. If anyone else wants a copy of my script and tar file just give me a call or an email.

OT: Help - disk crash
by David McNab 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi all, My wife's (Toshiba Satellite 1130, WinXP) laptop has gone legs-up. Sometimes manages to partly boot, sometimes not. I'm unable to determine whether it's the hard disk, or something in the motherboard, or both. (She's had the laptop 3+ years). Can anyone please suggest someone in Hamilton who can try to extract her Thunderbird account data from the disk? (The rest doesn't matter too much, but the email archive is critical). We can afford a reasonable fee, but definitely can't afford to dump hundreds or thousands of $$ into a lengthy disk recovery attempt - just a quick qualified "It's stuffed" at worst, or a USB stick full of rescued data at best would suffice. I'd do it myself but I don't have the hardware here, since the laptop HDD doesn't have a standard IDE or SATA connection. I tried booting the laptop from a 'buntu live disk, but am unable to mount the disk from within Linux. Cheers David

There's a WLUG meeting tonight: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnBillings, BruceKingsbury and ChrisOhalloran will talk about the past, present and future of the WlugBladeServer, 'hoiho'. The server hosts this wiki, as well as some other services you possibly didn't know about. * Chris will talk about our membership database and talk about how you can get a shell account, and why you would even want that. * Bruce will demonstrate some of the remote management features (integrated Lights Out or iLO) using WLUG's identical spare server 'kororaa', which was donated to us a year or two ago by Canterbury DHB. * John will talk about some of the history, current status and future maintenance required on the server. If you care about the WLUG server infrastructure, are, or would like to be one of the WlugSysadmins, or just interested in how the server is configured and what services are available, you should attend this meeting.

End of an Era in CHC
by James Pluck 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi All. I was reading through Stuff and came across this article about the disbanding of the PCUG. The article blames the rise of the internet for the fall in membership numbers of user groups and computer clubs. (between the lines) You no longer need to go to a club to find people to help with issues or to swap stories, etc with. This is now done in various fora online. http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/gadgets/2422588/End-of-a-PC-era-in-Christ… Interesting reading methinks. Any comments? J

Vim made easy: how to get your favorite IDE features in Vim
by Peter Reutemann 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi there I still remember the days of my Unix admin training (on IBM's AIX) and the editor of choice was "vi". Though vim ("vi improved") is definitely easier to use than vi, its two modes (command and insert) still throw off newbies. But after you get to know vim a bit better (or its graphical counterpart gvim), there is a lot more to it than just editing the odd text file once in a while. The following ars article is quite a good read: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/guides/2009/05/vim-made-easy-how-to-get-… Being a programmer, I really enjoy the "Tag List plugin" also mentioned in the article. Makes browsing of source code easy. If you ever have to work with LaTeX documents, then "VIM-LaTeX" will be your friend (unless you use kile or lyx): http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/ Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

convert and rename audio files...
by jaytee＠clear.net.nz 17 May '09

Hi All, I have just burned some c/d's with Serpentine for a friend from some itunes he owns. More than half are correctly titled but the rest are not. I have re-named a lot of the tracks from e.g. <01 track 01.M4A> to <songname .M4A> However when I open the files in any media player or burner it reverts to its initial filename or nearest whole number e.g. <unknown track 1 .ogg> or <track 1 .wav> is there some way I can force a rename that will remain?

Web-Host advice

Hi, guys Im looking at putting a personal web page online, in the next few months. I have chosen the domain name I am after and plan to purchase this soon. I would perfer to use the .net suffix, but a .co.nz could be used as a fallback option. Once the website is in a state worth uploading I will go for a web-hosting company solution (depending on price)(Linux host must, wordpress support, and preference for freedom to run personal python scripts are the only real requirments) . Any one got recommendations on a company to go with.

Grub and Ubuntu kernel updates
by Glenn Ramsey 10 May '09

10 May '09

Hi, On one of my machines I had an ubuntu installation on a single partition (sda3). I recently moved everything except /home onto another partition (sda6) and set up grub to boot from that partition. This was all working fine until there was a kernel update. The update reconfigured grub to try boot from the original partition, which failed, but fortunately grub lets you edit stuff before booting and I was able to fix it without too much pain. How do I fix it properly so that the next kernel update doesn't break it in the same way? Glenn -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz

I emailed some people at the computer sci department about having a WLUG table at the open day thing. They weren't prepared to entertain that idea, but not like we were actually all that prepared to actually do it anyway. So those of you whom I talked about that with, (at the saturday workshop and committee meeting) I didn't follow up cause it's not happening. Thanks to Arthur for informing me about it anyhow. I'm going there anyhow to check it out and pick up our mail, so maybe we can organize something for next year or another event that might be more appropriate to table at. Best, John

OK, I followed the instructions given and found rythmbox defaults to "paused" when the play is actioned ( by doubleclick or play radio ) then total lock-up occurs and forced quit is needed.

Hi all, I know that you all are intelligent and knowing internet users so please just ignore this :) I've been the lucky recipient of a phishing email purporting to be from the WLUG SUPPORT TEAM telling me that apparantly we are undergoing maintenace (sic) on our servers and need me to reply with my username and password to some group with a yahoo.com.hk address. Did we outsource our server maintenance recently and not tell the committee? *grin* Just a heads up everyone :) Cheers James.

Making a movie from a series of images
by Glenn Ramsey 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi, For my study I use a piece of software that displays animated 3d models and which can generate images for each frame of the animation. I can make these image into an animated gif using ImageMagick's convert or into an mpeg movie using ffmpeg, for use in a ppt presentation. The mpeg has lots of compression artifacts (I guess because the images are computer generated they have sharp colour gradients). The animated gif looks great, but is quite a large file. There must be a way to make an movie that doesn't have the compression artifacts as is done for screencast type movies. I've done some web searching about this but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Can anyone suggest a way to do this or some search terms that I could use? Cheers Glenn -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz

comparing files
by Peter Reutemann 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hi there If you ever had to check the differences between two files, e.g., patching files, you most likely came across "diff". diff's output may be easy to parse for programs, but I personally prefer a graphical view of the differences side-by-side. I just came across the article "Linux GUI diff utilities a visual tour" covering quite a few tools that allow you to visually compare two files. More tools are mentioned in the comments (my personal favorite is KDiff3): http://www.handlewithlinux.com/Linux-GUI-diff-utilities-a-visual-tour Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

Ubuntu "Windows install"
by Michael McDonald 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Just did a test install of Ubuntu within Windows. It's a very easy installation and one that an "average" computer user could cope with. The downside, of course, is that Ubuntu is at the mercy of the Windows files system. That shouldn't be too much of a problem. Buoyed by that success, I tried it to do it with Windows 7 Beta. No such luck! Microsoft has changed the boot system and as a result Ubuntu won't boot to finish the installation. It's possible there are a few hacks to get around that. I haven't done any research. No doubt Canonical will devise a way of making it work with Windows 7. I suspect an attempt to do a "manual" install of Ubuntu would result in Windows 7 no longer booting. Michael

Is recording from an *.m3u stream possible?

Is there any sort of program (or simple set up) that will automatically record from a *.m3u stream at a particular hour? I.e. like a video recorder. I want to listen to British radio shows that are on at silly hours of the NZ morning: http://resonancefm.com/listen --Glyn

Connecting to KOL with dialup
by Michael McDonald 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

I set up a user with a trial of Ubuntu, an external modem, and a KOL connection. (Would be lovely to have broadband, but in this situation broadband is "not on"). Dialup seems to be changing! I had a few problems during testing connecting to Xtra (see http://wlug.org.nz/Xtra ) ... Xtra's prompts upset wvdial. I thought "Oh well, if I can get Xtra to connect, I ought to be able to get KOL to talk using the same technique". Trying the usual methods of connecting didn't give any joy, so I used putty to find out what was happening. Name and Password was fine, but then KOL responded with a binary string, repeated every second or so, 6th byte incrementing, for a while and then disconnected. The string is ... ff 03 c0 21 01 dc 00 12 01 04 7f d5 03 04 c0 23 05 06 77 2d 1d b1 (dc was the byte that incremented with each message) Is this familiar to anyone? I haven't rung KOL as the website claims no support for Linux, and I wouldn't expect normal help-desk staff to be able to answer that query anyway. At worst, I've donated, $10 to KOL! Now that the user has the computer, I've got to set up another one for testing. :-) (Not a problem!) Any suggestions? Michael

Re: [wlug] Where do I go on the Internet ask general questions about Debian Lenny?
by Glyn Webster 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Thank you, all. I'll be watching the Debian forums and the "debian-user" mailing list now. I didn't know about them. (I'm watching at "debian-user" via Gmane.org's NNTP feed - KNode is nicer to use than Google Groups.) I'm using KDE 3.5 on Debian Lenny. "update-notifier" *says* it will work on KDE. I've followed the advice I just found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27109 I think what it says to do is the command-line equivalent to using "System > Preferences > Session", which isn't there in Debian. "update-notify" is running in the background now, and a grey icon appeared (and disappeared) in the KDE System Tray. I'll wait for an update to come up and see what happens. If nothing, I'll subscribe to "debian-user" and ask.

Thanks for the speedy info. The guys on dd-wrt reckon you may be OK if you implemented strong password.

Where do I go on the Internet ask general questions about Debian Lenny? (The question is: I've installed 'update-notifier', but it never notifies me of any package updates. The README gives me a feeling I'm supposed to set something up, but I'm not sure what or how.) --Glyn

situation vacant - Programmer/Developer
by John McPherson 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Global-Pix.com runs several websites, including the Marathon-Photos.com site. In 2008 we photographed more than 2 million athletes in over 450 events through 30 countries - taking more than 6 million images and recording over a thousand hours' worth of video footage. Due to expansion, we are looking for a Programmer to join our small development team based at our office in Hamilton. In this position, you would help maintain and program our back-end systems. While there will be some system administration tasks to be done, the majority of your time will be spent working on software features. We are looking for someone with a minimum of 3 years' programming experience, particularly with the Python programming language. In addition, experience in either of the two following areas would be a distinct advantage: 1) System Administration - for example: * Server internals (eg RAID, SATA, UPSes) * Debian GNU/Linux administration experience * LAN management (configuration, DNS/bind, diagnostics, etc) * Centralised account management - LDAP, SMB, SSH or 2) Video Processing - for example: * good knowledge of video formats and codecs * familiarity with command line video processing tools (eg ffmpeg) * streaming video Salary is negotiable based on skillset and experience. Our office has a small and friendly atmosphere near the middle of the CBD. Please send email to vacancies(a)global-pix.com to apply or request further information. If you reply to this email, beware of the default "Reply-To" header on the WLUG list. -- John McPherson

Library Donation
by James Pluck 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hi All. I'd just like to thank Eric Light for his donation of 9 manuals for the WLUG Library. O'reilly: "Make", "Sendmail", "System Performance Tuning", "Running Linux" and "MH & XMH for users and programmers" MIS Press: Linux Config and Install A second copy of "Unix in a Nutshell" Sams: "Teach yourself SQL in 24 hours" and "A First Book of C++" second edition - This was the textbook for Waikato Uni first year C++ course (Is it still the text?) So, some oldies but there's some gems in there also. I'll load these into the catalogue this evening from home and they will be available for loan at the next usual WLUG meeting (or by prior arrangement with WLUG financial members at my home). Thanks heaps, Eric! James President & Librarian

REMINDER: WLUG meeting tonight!
by Meeting Reminder Bot 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

There's a WLUG meeting tonight: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On 12 March, WLUG will be co-sponsoring several talks on OpenOffice.org repeated throughout the day at St. Pauls Methodist Center in Hamilton. Our presenter will be GrahamLauder, who you may remember gave and excellent talk at our SoftwareFreedomDay event last year. Since that talk OpenOffice 3 has been released, so anyone who attended that talk will want to see him speak again on what new features have been included in this release. The event is co-sponsored by the 20/20 Waikato Trust (http://waikato2020.wainet.org/) and Community Waikato (http://www.ssw.org.nz/) There is a http://www.wlug.org.nz/PDF flyer you can download below with more information. These talks are for the benefit of not-for-profit organizations and the communities they serve. Linux, OpenOffice.org and other Free/Open Source Software applications are being used more and more by not-for-profits due to lower cost, no licensing hassles, and the high quality of the software. OpenOffice.org has a page here dedicated to the ways non-profits can benefit from using it's software: http://why.openoffice.org/why_nfp.html These talks are open to WLUG members, we are a not-for-profit incorporated society after all. Linux users value the empowerment and freedom the software gives them. This is an opportunity to spread the word about our group to people who share these values. If your an employee or a volunteer or associated with a non-profit in anyway, these presentations are intend for you. If you know someone who may be interested in this talk, or there is someone involved with a non-profit you've been wanting to talk to about using Free Software, this is your opportunity. If you would like to attend please send an rsvp to: john(a)nimhq.net. Download OpenOffice.org for non-profits flyer (http://nimhq.net/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=openofficetalk-12-03.pdf)
