Hi Sudo has me boggled ..... I'm trying to configure a group %linuxadmins .. My account is a member of linuxadmins , when I sudo iptables -h I get "sudo: iptables: command not found".

Re: [wlug] Maverick Upgrade complete... - i have a strange bug
by Liz Quilty 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Let me know if you have had problem playing flash videos at all, I've had a fair few problems with it logging up. I have tried kde, gnome, kdm, gdm, straight X windows without anything, Brand new login with fresh profile etc and still getting the bug. Chrome has its own flash plugin which still has the problem, firefox with standard plugin also has the same bug. basically after about 2 mins it locks up, the active window is still usable (ie a konsole) , and mouse moves but can't click. I can use the keyboard to type but not to navigate alt+tab to other windows etc. I can get to tty1 and back no problems but again not change windows in the window manager. If anyone has got a similar problem, or a fix, let me know.

Upgrading to Maverick...
by Sandwalker 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

As far as I can tell, Maverick seems to work just fine. However, I haven't installed it yet. Has anyone here got a dual-boot system with Windows 7? I've read about this bug where grub2's bootloader is overwritten after running Windows, and I don't know if it applies to this distribution as well -- I'm rather wary of upgrading (a clean install in this case, as I'm skipping Lucid) as a result. I would like to upgrade, as it finally fixes the inability of my laptop to mute the internal speakers when headphones are plugged in (that's really the major reason why I want to upgrade; the other one is that Karmic's running rather slowly after a year).

NZ Computer Society National Series: Mapping ICT to the "Real World" with Process Modelling
by David Hallett 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

NZ Computer Society National Series: Mapping ICT to the "Real World" with Process Modelling 26 October 2010: 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Events Room 1, Gallagher Hub City Campus, Gate 5 Tristram Street, Hamilton NZCS is proud to bring you the next of the National ICT Series, this month focusing on mapping ICT to the "real world" through business process modelling and BPMN 2.0. Mapping ICT to the "Real World" with Process Modelling One of the major strengths of ICT is improving the efficiency and profitability of business, however to be successful it's essential that ICT accurately maps to the way organisations do business. In that context, processes are at the heart of everything we do. No matter what it is. And in all facets of an organisation, some process is always being followed even if that process only exists in the heads of a few key personnel. Business Process Mapping is all about capturing and documenting these processes in a standard manner all stakeholders understand. The correct documentation and execution of these processes is a key factor in building agile organisations and plays a primary role in enabling businesses large and small. This presentation will look at how to document your existing processes in a standards compliant manner that will enable both Business and IT to finally talk the same language while providing key artefacts for process re-engineering projects and allowing for the possible direct execution of those processes in a BPMS. This subject and presentation is essential for ICT professionals and Business Analysts alike who are serious about providing the maximum return to their organisations or clients for their ICT investment. Special thanks to Integration Works Ltd for sponsoring this presentation. Note: Light lunch provided. Free for NZCS members, inexpensive for others. Registration required at the following URL: https://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop/219-Mapping_ICT Regards, David Hallett, BSc, MNZCS ITCP P.O.

Remote adminstration
by cmoman 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello all, Is there a tool in ubuntu that a user can start that reports the real world ip address and configures a home router to open a port to allow remote administration? I have a friend or two for whom it would nice to get them to start a program, report to me the details via MSN or Skype or telephone etc and allow me to log in and fix or make a configuration change to their machine. I know how to set things up using ssh etc but that relies on some initial configuration at the their end. KDE has a nice VNC invite function but it won't do the router config part. It appears the likes of KTorrent and Azuereus have the ability to do some to the router via UPnP to open ports up on the router dynamically so I am guessing all this is possible. Cheers

REMINDER: WLUG meeting tonight!

There's a WLUG meeting tonight: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kiaora DVD The Kiaora Project was started in 2005 by Bruce Kingsbury, as an alternative to similar CDs like TheOpenCD which were a good idea but left out many things, such as dictionaries and clipart for OpenOffice, rubber stamps for Tux Paint, and controversial software such as VLC (some codecs covered by patents) and emule (p2p == piracy?) It project was mostly abandoned by 2007 and the kiaoracd domain given to Cairo to use as a 'download and burn' store for Free software in general.. The project was revived for Software Freedom Day 2010 and may continue to live as Kiaora DVD. Plans for the future include having a proper disk browser and program launcher, better presentation with program icons, screenshots, and links to addons and documentation, and repackaging some of the software which is currently distributed with 'toolbars' and other crap (or at the very least the default for installing such toolbars will be changed to 'off') Other possibilities; a directory of sample documents, and a collection of PDF manuals for some of the software. Volunteers who can repackage software with nullsoft or similar tools, track down or redraw SVG versions of icons, and take interesting screenshots would be greatly appreciated.

Using a laptop as an access point
by Glenn Ramsey 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is an easy way to configure a wireless card as an access point in Kubuntu 8.04? (I don't really want to go through the carnage of an upgrade at this stage) I found these instructions: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3096387.0 but they involve a lot of manual settings. I think I read somewhere on my searches that the in recent versions of Ubuntu you can do this by selecting an option in Network Manager. Ideally something like that is what I am looking for.

Re: [wlug] Software Freedom Day 2010... advertisement?
by Sam Lin 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I think the user group could have made use of many other resources such as Facebook or Tweet etc. I have circulated an event advertisement (see below) to my department in university and friends (some of which is working at HCC). Let's see how many of them will show up. ========= Advert from here ============ This Saturday sees Hamilton's very own Software Freedom Day (SFD) event. An annual worldwide event since 2004, SFD is designed to be both a celebration of free software's successes and a public education effort to help further its acceptance. It has a fairly impressive sponsor and partner list, including Google, Canonical, Sun, the FSF, and more Organised by the Waikato Linux User Group (WLUG), the open day will feature volunteers showing visitors the extent of open source software and its capabilities. Internationally, the goal of Software Freedom Day is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality Free and Open Source Software (FOSS / FLOSS) in education, in government, at home, and in business. In Hamilton this event was once held at Waikato University in 2008, and this year we will be at Centreplace near Whitcouls all this Saturday from 9am to 5pm. We will have a couple tables w/ 4-5 workstations setup running all the popular programs including GIMP/Inkscape. We will have a new “Kiaora DVD 10.09” which we will be giving out (a collection of Free software for Windows similar to The OpenDisc). We will also have some Ubuntu cds and some WLUG brochures. We may possibly have some demonstrations about how general public can make use of FLOSS in their daily life. For further information regarding SFD, please see the attached poster and the SFD website: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ Please feel free to stop by, try out, hang out and talk to people about FLOSS. ========== to here ============= Regards, Sam

SFD is one week away. You are invited to come visit us next Saturday at Centreplace. Just stop by and say hi, or stay awhile and talk to the public about why you use Free and Open Source Software. We have most things sorted for our demonstration, but could use one or two more workstations w/ LCD or Laptops. I've updated the page here with where we are at so far: http://wlug.org.nz/sfd Feel free to update the wiki, or let me know if you can loan us anything for the day. Also if you plan to attend, you can register at the Software Freedom Day NZ site here: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org.nz/Hamilton That's another way we will know who's coming. See you there.

Perhaps we can arrange a computer or two to demonstrate (or even tutor) how general public can make use of FLOSS in their daily life/work? For instance, use the GIMP or Inkscape to draw some pictures/icons and edit their photographs (somewhat like street performance so as to attract people to come over SFD).
