They used to be called "restricted formats" but if you are having a problem playing videos or songs etc it can be attributed to lack of codecs; and you can download and try using VLC player.

The situation is now with the newer 'adobe flashplayer version 11.2.101.405' some YouTube music videos apparently fail to play. <--I have no understanding as to why this is happening but it is. So I sent out a post on some forums somewhere and got a reply to use 'YouTube HTML5 Video Player' --> https://www.youtube.com/html5 <--which does work. LinuxMint 17 makes it so nice because you can obtain an .iso with the 'resticted formats' included in the .iso. I tried renaming the 'flash player version to and older version in '/home/visitor/.mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/pluginreg.dat' restarting Firefox but that did not seem to help alot except complaints started occurring as to why I am running an old outdated version of flash. So as of now I am going to stick with the latest flash 11.2.101.405 and use the YouTube HTML5 Video Player on the rare occasion I do watch a music - video on YouTube. If I do a web search on 'flash games' and load up some flash game it works fine. It looks like it's some YouTube related situation from what I can tell. Happy Holidays to you - ?

The job of a distribution is to collect together lots of software from other people and put them together in a way that they work together. The distribution itself writes very little software. The installer probably comes from the distribution builders. Some artwork comes from the distribution builders. Some of the configuration files come from the distribution. But 99.99% comes from the so could 'upstream', the original software authors. This plays a role when reporting bugs. Take this spamassassin problem. Is the problem with the configuration files which Ubuntu themselves created? Or is the problem with the upstream software? If the problem is with the way the distribution integrated spamassassin into the distribution, you should report the issue to the distribution. If the problem is with spamassassin itself, you should report the problem to upstream, the spamassassin authors.

I have had a problem setting the same UTC time between CMOS/BIOS and Linux UTC clock.

Though the correct time and date is displayed on the Linux Mint 17 64bit edition with Mate desktop 'as the correct time. I heard there is a command using 'sed' to fix this. 1. is this a common issue? Initially after I installed the new Duracell 2032 battery the system fans were running at full speed; then finally I took note. 'Something is wrong' and then I proceeded to clear the CMOS. I seem to have misplaced the proper weblink but it involved only switching the cmos jumper over to pins 2-3 and powering on the machine and waiting for a series of beeps. Then moving the onboard CMOS jumper back to it's original position. Powering the machine on and then again setting the BIOS configuration values. <--That has cleared the fan issue and any bootime errors that had/were occuring. Prior of course to this is that I went through an issue which I should have noted immediately upon connecting the machine to even AC power was 'UPDATE THE BIOS FIRMWARE' if possible. 2.

Most likely Spam Assassin -- given that he was compiling, it is unlikely he was compiling from Ubuntu-provided source code. Most of the time you compile, you are doing so to get a newer version than what is provided by your distro (or want to change the defaults).

It probably is because Mint assumes the the BIOS clock is UTC. Then when you have a time zone configured on Mint, the time is adjusted to fit the timezone. You need to edit the /etc/default/rcS file and tell the OS directly that the BIOS clock is not UTC. You can edit the file manually or just run: Code: sudo sed -i s/UTC=yes/UTC=no/ /etc/default/rcSRyan are you still out there?

I know thats because of flash. When I built this system I had ubuntu 10.04 with classic gnome it ran great with that. Well on New Years I took off Mint 17 and put ubuntu 14.04 mate.

He was explaining variable as far as 'user group world' I could not do the math correctly but I miss his help. Also with 'Michel Moore' the constant help he gave me with Debian and links and then finally he said he was done. People can influence lives and people that want to learn sometimes can. I spent over an hour last night reading about 'firewalls' all sorts of them and comparison to linux based computing based on other software. What it comes down to is I really appreciated the help I got here even though I am a slow reader probably not the most smart either. Who cares about that; the fact is trying to help. I will have to tell you I think David Wagle in particular tried to help me but at the time I was in a rush to try and connect a 'brpcfax' applet within cups with proper perms'. People like that make a difference. No one can say if I spend some free time on Gentoo because of it it certainly will not be easy but it's something and someone was out there suggesting and giving me honest help evern though they are alot better with 'it' than me. That to me makes alot of difference. Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is being used to modify a config file. It probably is because Mint assumes the the BIOS clock is UTC. Then when you have a time zone configured on Mint, the time is adjusted to fit the timezone.

Paul, To set the system clock to the hardware clock hwclock --hctosys Other way around: hwclock --systohc You should be able to check the hardware clock by issuing: hwclock That will give you an idea of how far off the hardware clock is. If it is skewed far enough, you will probably want to go in to the bios on a reboot and update it. If it does not stick past power outages, you might want to replace the cmos battery on the motherboard. Hope that helps.

It basically uses a semi-distributed model to get time from trusted sources. Your BIOS clock isn't an accurate timekeeping device, anyway, so why trust it. # apt-get install ntp ntpdate Will install init files to do it all for you.

NTP, or Network time Protocol, is used to automatically syncronise time across various machines. It basically uses a semi-distributed model to get time from trusted sources. Your BIOS clock isn't an accurate timekeeping device, anyway, so why trust it. # apt-get install ntp ntpdate Will install init files to do it all for you.

"ntp" is actually the daemon that'll keep it synced. If you want to run ntpdate manually every now and again (or upon reboot) that's fine, too, but "ntp" is better for systems that are up most the time. You have ntpdate installed (according to your output) but not ntp. In fact, ntpdate might be adjusting your time after reboot, making it different (and more correct!) than your hardware BIOS clock. Also: # dpkg -l | grep ntp will save you from searching through the list. On Sat, 3 Jan 2015, paul g wrote: > Mint 17 just had an update last week with 'ntp'?

"ntpdate" is a commandline tool. "ntp" is actually the daemon that'll keep it synced. If you want to run ntpdate manually every now and again (or upon reboot) that's fine, too, but "ntp" is better for systems that are up most the time. You have ntpdate installed (according to your output) but not ntp. In fact, ntpdate might be adjusting your time after reboot, making it different (and more correct!) than your hardware BIOS clock. Also: # dpkg -l | grep ntp will save you from searching through the list.

"ntpdate" is a commandline tool. "ntp" is actually the daemon that'll keep it synced. If you want to run ntpdate manually every now and again (or upon reboot) that's fine, too, but "ntp" is better for systems that are up most the time. You have ntpdate installed (according to your output) but not ntp. In fact, ntpdate might be adjusting your time after reboot, making it different (and more correct!) than your hardware BIOS clock. Also: # dpkg -l | grep ntp will save you from searching through the list.

It will do most any "glob" or "regex" string handling, and most anything else. The Tcl array and list tools are worth learning. I like using the text editor "nedit." Nedit has a nice "regex" capability that is well documented. It has been very handy converting large old programs that typically use short variable names, and easily allows me to substitute much larger descriptive names. It has helped me convert C programs to FreePascal, too. It comes with extensive syntax highlighting language definitions pre-configured to provide many examples. And I prefer doing it on a suSe 9.0 pro box running the 2.4 kernel using an old wheel mouse. The wheel mouse allows me better sensitivity to position the cursor between letters. The X window system is configured manually for modern display monitors. The system runs for months at a time and shows 3D macromolecule animation for a screensaver. I have a separate opensuse 12.2 box that does have the needed USB interface for Arduino Uno. But it is rarely used. Mostly I use opensuse 11.3. If my post makes little sense to most of you, likewise.

I've been a Tcl programmer since 1997, and still use it, although I'm not employed as a computer programmer any more. (I wish I was, but that's not the way the world has worked.)

I'm delighted to see an experienced programmer in this group. I'll put this email in my saved box.

I feel very comfortable programming and learning more Tcl/Tk/iWidgets from the wonderful HTML documentation and examples. Same with other Linux capabilites. Most of my innovative time is spent pushing cellulosic biofuels. As a biophysicist I've copied the nervous system to push fiber optic networking in the early 1980s, now I don't understand the gunked up internet. These days I copy fire, and think we can create a lot of higher value fuel by vaporizing cellulose with concentrated sunlight. The Raspberry Pi, or Arduino Uno could control a lot of mirrors. But everybody is an expert and there are dozens of variations on solar energy and cellulosic derived fuels. There is a lot of big money, public and private, chasing this around the world in the name of climate change and energy security. People also talk about "smart grid" and "load balancing" the electric grid. As best I'm able, I contribute the biophysical chemistry but would love to churn out code at a warm desk instead. I wish I could suggest something specific for your kind offer. Just like developing the internet and integrated circuits in the 1980s, we need a new economic gameplan today. And it will involve computers and energy, IMHO. There are quite a few groups in the state active in this area.

I started out with VA Linux and then Red Hat before they split into RHEL and Fedora. Some of the reasons I've liked Fedora is that I like to be running more or less bleeding edge. I'm not sure how much that will change since they have gone away from the two releases per year model. It always seems to minimize issues with new RHEL releases at work since I've already compiled everything with the latest gcc on fedora long before that made its way to RHEL. Since they come from the same ecosystem, I've had good luck getting work things (like Oracle Database) to install on Fedora even though it only officially supports RHEL and OEL. I've actually grown to really like gnome 3 (with a good set of plug ins). I pretty much expect things to just work like running virtual box (stupid Windows for work) on one screen of a dual head set up. I have no experience with Ubuntutu and their desktop thing. I run cinnamon on the old laptop I use as HTPC. If you want to play with the future, you can run Wayland out of the box on F21. I have no idea how many other distros have that. -- Kathryn Hogg http://womensfooty.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I started with Red Hat 5.1 back in November 1998. After a year or so tho, all the Debian guys enticed me with how easy the Advanced Package Tool (APT) made upgrades. RH had nothing like it until a few years later. Also, Debian is a very community-oriented distro. (Or at least it was, I don't know what it's like right now). Red Hat was in the business of promoting Red Hat Software. So there were RH-specific tools that made it easier to admin, but the knowledge didn't transfer to other distros. Also, the Debian package-building process and software update process were optimized for reducing the workload the community of developers had to do. RH by the other hand had paid developers to put updated packages in their distro repository, and this flavored the sort of packages one would find, and also their update/release cycle rate. Eventually all the Debian guys here at Real Time convinced the boss that Debian really was easier to use, and after a little experimentation he readily agreed that it was. So RTE became a Debian shop for several years. The Ubuntu came out, and while I dislike the sound of the name, the fact that it's Debian but with less ideology, a wider list of software that's "not quite as Free", and some ease-of-installation features that make it look friendly to newbies made me see the appeal of it. When I bought my last desktop from QuietPC (http://www.quietpc.com/) it came with Ubuntu installed, and I installed Ubuntu on my gf's computer and she's fairly happy with it. I taught SuSE administration for several years, just after Novell bought them out. I learned to despise it very quickly. Even before the Novell acquisition, SuSE always had some non-standard ways of doing things (administration tools, filesystem layout). My main problem with SuSE these days is that you pretty much need to decide at the beginning if you're going to admin it by editing the config files, or if you're going to use their GUI tools (YaST and YaST2). I've found that it tends to put related settings in widely-dispersed config files, and only the GUI tool knows where all those settings are. So if like me, you're used to editing the configs (because Debian is comparatively quite standards-compliant and doesn't have a lot of tools peculiar to it, and would rather use tools designed to work on a lot of different distros and just update/modify them for its needs), you'll hate SuSE because things that you expect to make changes often won't have the effect you desire until you either track down where all you need to make changes, or you break down and use the GUI tool. SuSE, to me, seems to suffer from the problem that Microsoft Windows has. Namely, it's trying to be so easy to use and automagically do stuff for you, that occasionally it automagically breaks itself and is opaque and hard to administrate if you don't do what the developers of the admin tools had in mind. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com From trnja001 at umn.edu Mon Jan 5 14:48:46 2015 From: trnja001 at umn.edu (Elvedin Trnjanin) Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 14:48:46 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Which linux do you use?

I use debian because: 1. apt - advanced package tool - easy to use, so easy to install packages. 2. NOT on the bleeding edge! I hate it when stuff you use breaks on you. Although, sometimes, I do wish they were a little farther along because if you get new hardware, sometimes debian stuff is too far behind. So, I could switch distros solely for hardware isues if absolutely necessary. 3. Stuff seems tested heavily. While I use GTK+ (which seems like a piece of GNOME), I've had to drop GNOME as my DesktopEnvironment because I don't like the changes made when they went to GNOME 3. Instead, I use LXDE. But I don't like LX-Terminal, so I use ROX-Terminal (roxterm). roxterm seems to operate with a lot of features of gnome-terminal, and some additional stuff of its own. The WindowManager I use is openbox. Now, before, I was running openbox and had no DesktopEnvironment at all, so I'm already familiar with openbox, and what's cool about openbox is that it is easy to add stuff to the menus, whereas, with GNOME menus, I don't have a clue about how to add stuff. I'ven't figure out how to do pipe-menu-s yet with openbox, but it SOUNDS cool. The one cool thing about LXDE is that it gets the following right: : This computer is a host. : This computer has two network interfaces (Windows people call these NIC cards or NIC interfaces). : Oh, look, there's an Ethernet network interface. : Oh, look, there's a WiFi interface. And there's WiFi stations in this area. : Oh, look, the Ethernet cable is connected. : Oh, look, both the Ethernet and the WiFi want to use the same IP address. : Now, for the part where NO OTHER NETWORKING SOFTWARE SEEMS TO DO RIGHT... DRUM ROLL, PLEASE... : I think that since this host went through the trouble of having a cable plugged in that I will connect to Ethernet and disconnect from WiFi. =========== Summarizing: When you find a HOST (i.e., a computer that is NOT a ROUTER) with an IP address the same for both interfaces, Ethernet **TRUMPS** WiFi! =========== Whenever I have to stoop to using Win7, I have to go thru the "disable one interface" and "enable the other interface" way more times than you'd think because it was last set "the other way". But wataaya expect from Micro$oft? I use *bash* as my shell, although I think that *zsh* is probably more capable--it's just that I don't think I can cram in any more shell syntax into my thick head, anymore. Lastly, I like that there is an ARM version of Debian Wheezy Linux that others have adapated to use with Android phones. Although you don't have to pay, it is asked that you pay what you can, anyhow, therefore, it's not open source, but, tell me, can you figure out how to have a program that you wrote (nonGUI of course) that you can run on your phone without rooting the phone? My favorite is plugging your android into your laptop via the usual USB data cable and running X (however, they tell me the communication is not via the usual X stuff but uses the same as the protcol VNC uses--to be more specific--tightVNC//Up pops an xterm via twm). Another thing with the app that launches Debian Wheezy: It uses ptrace() to make it so that you can both be debian-user-root (to use apt-get, for example), and yet not to require having the phone rooted. Cuz if you have the phone rooted, you could do a real chroot. I'ven't figure out how this works yet.

Work: RHEL, because enterprise workloads require enterprise support Home: I waffle between Debian, Ubuntu, and to a lesser extent Mint. It often depends on how much I want to hack with stuff and how much I want things to just work. For servers I use exclusively Debian. I should really play with Arch. But that has nothing to do with this thread. I grew up on Redhat, and played with it and Mandrake until RHDE 8. RHDE 8 was junk in comparison to 7.3, and at that point I gave up on it (and Fedora) to use Debian almost exclusively. Ubuntu's early editions seemed interested in fixing problems that didn't exist, however these days it seems to work on pretty much everything without complaining. I also appreciate that it (as well as Debian and Fedora) provide an XFCE ISO image so I don't have to deal with Unity. I have no idea what SuSE is up to today. My former employer ditched RHEL in favor of SLES, due to support issues with Redhat. YaST is the strangest contraption, thankfully the text mode version doesn't take days to load and makes finding network settings possible. If I was trying to build a distribute-able software package/appliance, I would choose Debian for the size, customize-ability, and general openness of the tools.

Specs: Supermicro 1U rackmount chassis Pentium 4 2.4Ghz CPU 1GB DRR-333 memory 400GB Hitachi SATA drive Dual 1GbE onboard NICs CDROM Hauppage HVR-1600 PCI card with remote, IR blaster, and docs I've had Mythbuntu running it for awhile, it seemed to play happily with the hardware. The Supermicro chassis is normally loud; however I was able to drop the voltage to the fans and make it quiet enough for the living room while still being able to cool sufficiently. It has no sound card. I was able to use a USB headphone adapter with some tinkering. Asking $200, feel free to make an offer.

The comments from others about YAST doing the serious work for the user are certainly true. I was impressed with the Debian distribution "Raspbian." But recently I've been getting a 6 DVD set of opensuse from OSDISC.com or something like that. I copy a local repository of the discs and can learn what is out there. Unbelievable amount of software on 6 DVDs. Most of my time used to be spent digging in /usr/include files and the like. Amazing to learn how things like "semaphores" or serial port modem control lines, or other linux systems work. It really is all there. The libC reference is great, too. Or X. Many, many new advances made my skills obsolete. If I was 30, 40, + years younger! As the saying goes, "youth is wasted on the young."

What they provide is a financially stable, responsive corporate backing so that you can be certain that you will have the information and support necessary from a vendor for a business to be successful at their business objectives. If you're business is, say, an insurance broker, you're not in the IT business and you likely don't have top notch IT management because of that fact. Ergo, you need a vendor you can rely upon. Red Hat provides that. And make no mistake, that is in itself an essential business value.

For example, some won't install on CentOS, Debian, etc. due to how it is written, or that they expect certain locations for files. Heck, some of them won't install unless the /etc/redhat-release file exists with specific content. Beyond that, if you call in for support on the app, good luck in getting support on any distro other than what they support the app on. Running Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, Slack, etc. might work well for small businesses, and some medium sized ones (or universities/colleges). However, when you start getting into the medium to large enterprises, you will most likely not get any management support for running any distro which does not have enterprise level SLA's. -- -Shawn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I toyed with running FreeNAS on my home NAS, however I like the control I get with Arch. This may change someday, as I see FreeNAS has nice support for Crashplan, overall management of the system would be significantly easier and faster, and the encryption would give me greater piece of mind. Regarding the encryption, that appears across the Linux distro platform for ZOL (not counting BSD of course), unless I missed something? -- Jeremy MountainJohnson Jeremy.MountainJohnson at gmail.com On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 9:22 AM, Linda Kateley wrote: > Jeremy, > > Did you try any other distros for ZOL? > > linda > > > On 1/5/15 7:09 PM, Jeremy MountainJohnson wrote: >> >> Thought I'd chime in with +1 for ArchLinux. >> >> I know I haven't updated in awhile, but I am still testing zol on my >> ArchLinux NAS at home, and haven't had any issues yet (non-ecc ram, >> offsite and external backup drive).

Subject: [tclug-list] Missing access points
Periodically when I start a laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 on it there aren't any access points to select from when I click on the wifi/networking icon. The only way I've been able to work around that is to reboot the system. After that they show up again. Has anyone else run into that? If so have you figured out a better way to deal with it?

I hated the Unity desktop and wanted to keep Ubuntu as I really liked it before that change. I know that underneath it was the same as before and would work best for me, but I wanted my familiar menu back. It seems there was some attempt to keep it intact and there was a short time when on the next update to Ubuntu, the classic look was made available. But later on this seemed to disappear and I went over to Mint as it seemed to me that it was the closest thing to having Ubuntu. I think it used the same repository, but not sure about that. My issues have been only that the video ability of linux lags behind so much from what my extremely hated Microsoft would enable me to use. I used nero linux for a while last year until my paid for install suddenly would not run and said it was expired. I bought the app from Nero and they did not say it would end or only be good for one year. I digress a bit talking about that and I will have to see if Nero will still honor my version of the program now. But I would have to use some video conversion programs only available on MS and kept hoping there would be some progress in the video realm with linux, but it seems to have stalled or even gotten worse now. Does anyone in the linux field care if they can deal with the videos in an equal way being done in MS world? Number two issue is the NDAS open source code is available to use in whatever way is wanted and is given away I am told. No one with ability to fix it does anything with it so I have to use a windows computer to use the windows version to see my ndas drives and then use some kind of network windows shared for my linux computer to see them. I like the ndas idea as I can have drives on my network which do not have an address as such and can not be seen from outside the network. Only computers in the network can see them as they are addressed by the ndas software. I want to get rid of all my windows machines, but the lack of doing some of these things in linux is stopping me. I am not good at the command line now days. I am getting a bit old and cant remember the various commands easily. So I rely on the GUI and it is not doing much for me. Also, just to comment on the previous days postings about which linux variety is used and liked most. I want to stay with Ubuntu so is there a way to do it better than using Mint? I think it was great to see which distros guys with real expertise were using. I will read a lot of those postings again. Perhaps we could have a meeting dedicated to this topic and extoll the virtues of the various distros? Thanks for any advice you may give me. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:11:12 AM CST From: tclug-list-request at mn-linux.org To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: tclug-list Digest, Vol 121, Issue 49 > Send tclug-list mailing list submissions to > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tclug-list-request at mn-linux.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tclug-list-owner at mn-linux.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of tclug-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I have never found anything comparable to the power of mencoder and ffmpeg for converting video file formats, if that's what you mean by conversion programs.

I have tried using non-*buntu distributions, but always come back due to the availability of binary packages. I used Bodhi for years until the maintainer quit a few months ago. Now I'm using Ubuntu with Unity replaced with Openbox. I have 16gb memory on my laptop, and while idling use about 200mb of that... I don't think I'd recommend either using Openbox or removing Unity unless you have some time to play around with it. Maybe lubuntu or something similar is for you? I don't know how "familiar" you're looking for. -Max From tlunde at gmail.com Wed Jan 7 11:49:29 2015 From: tlunde at gmail.com (T L) Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 11:49:29 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Linux DVR In-Reply-To: References: <1245431729.507909.1420648485250.JavaMail.zimbra@greencaremankato.com> Message-ID: +1 for Homerun boxes for OTA capture +1 for MythTV as a backend recorder I use XBMC 13 loaded onto Amazon FireTV boxes as a frontend, using the Myth PVR plugin for XBMC Once configured, this has a high WAF: one box and one remote provides OTA Live, OTA DVR, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBOGO, etc etc. I have not needed or tried them, but I gather that there are boxes which are sold for the purpose of capturing gaming sessions from consoles that have component in and myth support that can also be used to capture video from digital cable, Dish, DirectTV et al. For this to work, you'd also need to configure an IR blaster to change the channel on the cable/satellite receiver which provides the feed to the capture device. This "analog hole" workaround for the encryption of these signals is the only way to capture and record some sources. For some digital cable systems, Silicon Dust makes a box that can accept a cablecard which does the decryption.

I think you can just 'apt-get install KDE' and it sets up KDM (the login tool) and everything. Not that I'm a huge fan of KDE either, but it has some nice features.

In the past I've tried what Josh said about disabling and re-enabling networking, but it didn't help. I've done that using the mouse though and not using commands. I'm not sure what commands to use to do that.

Message-ID: I was reading this article found here --> https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2014/09/25/bash-shellshock-vulnerability-what-you-need-to-know/ John Harris stated: Serious, yes, but still a Storm in a teacup here, Folks, While it is being sorted out, switch over to the "MKSH" (MirBSD) shell. As it did not and does not use the GNU tool kit chain, it has not been built with the "readline" issue that exploits "Bash". However, like "Bash" the "MKSH" shell supports almost all of the same syntax and will run "Bash" scripts in a "SH" compatibility mode. The Korn shell is also very old and very well tested. I.E. HP, SUN, IBM, etc. all usually default to this command shell. Unless you have something very "Bash" specific, MKSH" will do for now, if you are concerned. Anything else that does not require "Bash" specifically should be swapped over. Also please not that the "SH" command shell has the same problem as the "Bash" command shell. I would also be looking at any script that uses the "readline" function or passes Unsanitized input or output to any "BASH" or "SH" shell. One minor item, Google "Korn shell .profile and .kshrc" first, and make sure that you update or create the equivalent of the ".bash_profile" and ".bashrc" before you swap your shell over. Also, you can pretty much cut and paste most of your ".bash_profile" into ".profile" and it will work. For more advanced tricks, check out the "/etc/profile" script and the "/etc/profile.d/" directory, as applicable, to your platform. Linux & Unix built in workarounds to issues since their inception. Problem solved for now. 1. Can I migrate to MKSH shell on my LinuxMint17 computer quite easily? 2. How necessary is this to be concerned about? Your thoughts are appreciated.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Huh, looks like either or. Just what I need, another dongle :-) I wonder how configurable these will be? My guess is Intel made a big Windows push, because they are realistic about the majority of the business market. The Linux option appeals to hobbyist and the small piece of the business market heavily invested into Linux workstations. Looking at the Intel page it looks like they are trying to ice cream scoop consumers and businesses alike as well.

I have posted in some other places and have gotten none or limited response perhaps it is not a large or important bug. I think it's to bad after upgrading the system to kernel 3.13.etc there is no longer ease of use to utilize the CD/DVD drive on any debian based computer using the newer kernel. Debian bug report #72978 post #50 did not seem to help at all. After reboot and a new DVD is inserted system is again not able to read/load the disk properly. links are below https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725978 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753379 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725978 Below is the /etc/rc.local file as edited on a debian based system I have running the 3.13.0-24-generic kernel <--which I have tried this enables kernel polling. It seems to work on the system temporarily but fails to read after the same disk is mounted a couple times. #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. echo 2000 > /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs exit 0 It does work temporarily but upon a couple power cycles it fail's again. Besides even with the above line added the CD/DVD drive acts like it's reading the media differently 'takes longer to read' than prior with the 2.16.etc debian kernel. I got your response back as you would consider this to be a small bug already in a prior post. 1. I wanted to reiterate that this is how you consider this situation to be small bug? 2. Should I be looking at something as far as Udev is concerned also? 3. Why after kernel polling is enabled in /etc/rc.local and a couple power cycles it fails to read the disk again?

They've been around for a while, but the ones I've used were severely underpowered. (and very cheap, even compared to this) They typically run some sort of Android OS, and the ones I tried struggled to play back any sort of HD video content for any significant amount of time. If they're saying this can run a regular Windows OS I would expect it may be more stable for media player or signage tasks, too. I also saw headlines about these referring to them as thumbdrives.

My un-educated answer: it depends. If the BGP route is the next hop from the machine sending the ping, then yes, you'll probably need to restart. The ping instance will continue to want to use the broken path as its next hop. If, however, you're downstream from the BGP route (another hop between you and the BGP router) it shouldn't matter because your machine's next hop wouldn't change. Does that describe the behavior you're seeing?

Specifically, this is what we have going: A couple school districts use Sonicwall firewalls. The fail-over system does a sustained ping to responder.sonicwall.com.

There is nothing special about plain old pings that would otherwise be affected by a route change. What could be possible is one router along the problem path has some kind of filter that is filtering pings, doing DPI with some kind of filtering policy, or some other wonky behavior. It's it clear if the sonicwalls in question are doing BGP or not (sounds like no). It is also not clear of the gigapops hop is the the sonicwalls first hop or not.

I get the feeling this kind of flip flopping of routing is sporadically occurring in a semi regular basis or something and not just a single isolated incident. As for failover, I take it to mean a failover pair in an active-standby configuration and the standby unit becomes the active unit when one of these network incidents occur?? I would look into a tool like ping plotter. It will identify route changes, route performance, destination reachability, etc and have all of the historical info available from the duration of when you're running it. You can run it against the responder.sonicwall.com target and compare it's results to that of the behavior and/or logs of the sonicwall themselves.?

It sounds like an issue with Xorg (zooming, or bad resolution settings, etc...). I'm assuming Ubuntu lets xorg automagicly detect devices, so you might be able to create/edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and get it to a working state. Try switching the display driver from your native driver to a generic frame buffer, or svga driver. The other issue that I've run into that's similar to this is grub2's framebuffer conflicting with Xorg. I have a netbook here that I've loaded Ubuntu derivatives on and it would boot up to a completely black screen. I eventually dug through grub2's config and forced it to run in text mode, and it magically fixed the screen. Hope these ideas help. Downgrading distros can be painful, and it would be best to avoid that if you could. On 01/21/15 10:00, Wendell Bell wrote: > I have been using Ubuntu for over 4 years and it has been good.

Try control-alt-F2 once in the Unity gui, and see if you can pull up the console (ssh, if installed and running, would be another way to access it). If you can get there and log in, this should allow you to install an older kernel with dpkg or apt-get. Although, your issues sound like they are related to graphic drivers, which I would actually recommend looking into first before downgrading the kernel. Do you know if the graphics card is the stock Intel GPU for this laptop? If so, what model is it? If you don't know, in the console run sudo lspci and report the graphic chip set back.

Oh good lord that is wrong and sad on so many levels. That's just no way to live! My friend, you need more than someone helping figure out what is very probably NOT a kernel issue.

Are you able to tell if the machine is getting an IP through PING or some other network tool (nmap, logs, etc)? If these two items are yes, you might be able to SSH onto the system. The suggestions above about using the Ctrl+Alt+FX (X=1,2,3..6) doesn't yield a terminal window with a login prompt? Where in the cities are you located? I am in the south metro area and could help if need be. Again, getting any live distro to boot to would really help to ensure hardware is all working... -- Andrew Krull On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 2:05 PM, wrote: > On Wed, 21 Jan 2015, Wendell Bell wrote: > > As for being backed up, I'm accustomed to losing all my data with every >> hardware replacement and every hard reset, so this won't be any different. >> > > Oh good lord that is wrong and sad on so many levels.

I've worked for... I have no idea what Fortune Number companies, but definitely gigantic ones.

Phones, especially the way we use them in the US, are terrible about controlling your own data. That definitely doesn't seem to be something most people care about, and most people don't save important stuff on their phone.

Again, no offence meant, but stuff like backing up files and verifying that your backup is accessible should be a basic computer-use skill. Sadly, most people (and I am DEFINITELY generalising here) don't have those skills - no backups, no idea about security/privacy settings, etc. Then again, a while ago I came up with a lesson plan for teaching people how to keep their data safe, and guard their privacy. I got a couple of places to actually offer the class at a community education type thing... and zero people registered. Zero. And this was right when that whole big Celebrity Phone Hack thing happened. People just don't care. /rant -- From wendell.bell at gmail.com Wed Jan 21 17:59:26 2015 From: wendell.bell at gmail.com (Wendell Bell) Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 23:59:26 +0000 Subject: [tclug-list] Need help reinstalling Ubuntu--will pay & bring computer to you (in the metro area) References: <1484DBEEB175C3479AA567DDC6AEE295C0EC3EA0@USSPPMSG07.ad.sjm.com> Message-ID: Well, after I get Ubuntu back up and running, I'll email you again.

Security is often strictly about convenience for the average and even advanced users. It's not convenient to backup or use encryption, as this takes time and other resources. Working in this field I find it's been a constant give and take, but it can work, albeit in a very fluid and dynamic manner. Education is only one part of security, you cannot expect all of the masses to feel empowered with knowledge, it just doesn't work that way. Generalizing and saying people don't care is just that, a rant. I get jaded at times too, and it's healthy to vent, so long as it doesn't start to become one's reality, in my opinion. /My 2 cents -- Jeremy MountainJohnson Jeremy.MountainJohnson at gmail.com On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 5:40 PM, wrote: > On Wed, 21 Jan 2015, Wendell Bell wrote: > >> Even when I worked for a Fortune 100 company, most files on the C drives, >> not backed up on a network drive, did not survive either an equipment or >> an >> operating system upgrade.

URL: From craigallynsmith at gmail.com Thu Jan 22 17:49:38 2015 From: craigallynsmith at gmail.com (Craig Smith) Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:49:38 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] SSD vs HDD for DIY security camera project Message-ID: Thanks to all who replied. The consensus was that SDD reliability wasn?t a concern given my bandwidth, but performance wasn?t worth the money. Justin, You hit the nail on the head regarding an ?older cpu.? I?m running a Pentium3 (single core) @ 730Mhz (1461.97 bogomips) with 500mb RAM but recently procured an i5 @3.5Mhz (4 cores at 6997.97 bogomips) with 32gb RAM. I will report performance improvement once I get everything working. FFMPEG installation is always a bit of a chore. Marc, I?ve used a variety of inexpensive ?ip-cameras? that invariably include wifi and web-server so I can pull images on demand. Some support scheduled or triggered image uploads via email or ftp. They all sell for about $100. I started out with plastic indoor cameras from D-Link pointed out a window, but have switched to weather-proof night-vision cameras from Foscam. These features work well together since the IR emitters reflect if pointed out a window. They aren?t rated down to Minnesota temperatures but I?ve not experience any cold-weather problem. I had to return one camera in warranty when the mechanical IR filter got stuck, yielding poor daylight colors (you can hear the filter ?snap? into place when IR is on). The replacement, now out of warranty, needs an occasional reboot. Also a 5v transformer failed, but that was easily replaced. In hindsight, a commercial system with dedicated wiring would have been cheaper per camera and not consume wifi bandwidth. -- Craig A.

The consensus was that SDD reliability wasn't a concern given my bandwidth, but performance wasn't worth the money. FWIW, I'm very happy with the Seagate ST1000LM0141 tb hybrid SSHD drive I put in my laptop. It's 4x the speed of "only rotating" and only about 15% higher price than a "rotating only" model.

I have been watching these tests on ssds.. http://techreport.com/review/27436/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-two-freaking-petabytes But my instinct is that hybrid would actually have lower endurance.

The screen was there but looked like the resolution was out of whack. Alt+f2 didn't bring up dash but it could have been off screen (maybe another screen). I did attempt to work from the command line to fix but wasn't getting to far with that (Ctrl+Alt+FN, N being a number...). As I was able to access the system from command line and access his data to get a backup, I decided to do a fresh clean install and fix some other options (another linux install) etc. Since it all started from a failed upgrade, this was the best option for Wendell, a clean slate from which to work from. I give Wendell all the credit in the world for sticking with and trying Linux. Linux when it is working, is awesome, but when it borks, it can bork hard and if you don't deal with it on a daily basis or have buckets of patience, it can get really frustrating quickly. As he has been attempting to fight through it since before Christmas, he is a trooper. I am glad that I was able to help but more importantly that Wendell was happy when we left and excited to get home and get back to work on his Ubuntu machine. -- Andrew Krull On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 10:56 AM, Wendell Bell wrote: > I'm 100% certain Andrew could speak better to that than I could.

We are looking for a new place to meet. Brian and I have some new places we are looking at but it just happened that we didn't have a topic speaker officially lined up yet for January. Please send your ideas for meeting topics to me and I will compile them. I will send out another update once we can share more information. Thanks!

The consensus was that SDD reliability wasn't a concern given my bandwidth, but performance wasn't worth the money. FWIW, I'm very happy with the Seagate ST1000LM0141 tb hybrid SSHD drive I put in my laptop. It's 4x the speed of "only rotating" and only about 15% higher price than a "rotating only" model. Nice, has anyone seen any "endurance" numbers for these hybrid drives? I have been watching these tests on ssds.. http://techreport.com/review/27436/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-two-freaking -petabytes But my instinct is that hybrid would actually have lower endurance. All of the heat/noise/vibration that comes off a hdd would seem not to be good for ssd. Or if it is not writing much into ssd part... ??? Linda (et al) I have some knowledge of these things technically and "was in the business" of both hi-rel and hard drives.. Noise and vibration aren't big issues since these chips don't have big ears and are mounted in quiet corners with good thermal conductivity to the outside as well as good air circulation inside. Temperature is not a big issue unless things get .. hotter than just warm. The effect of temperature on reliability is not bad until (slowly drops) until some critical temp is neared or exceeded. Going from memory and don't recall clearly, but I think that's about 50C which is likely much hotter than my Dell laptop hard drives ever get. At this "critical temp", the reliability curve drops as the 3rd or 5th power of the difference above the critical temp.. a very sharp decrease in reliability indeed, but insignificant below the critical temp. Other parts inside a hard drive have a tougher time, but the issues are very well understood and accounted for which is why hard drives are more reliable than most semiconductor memory (because board and box temps aren't as well-controlled). Seagate puts their 5 year guarantee on their SSHD drives. Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've had similar problems. The only thing that's worked for me is to plug the drive into a Windows 7 machine. Sometimes I have to remove the drive and plug it back in several times before Windows will bring up a window that has some "General options". One of the options is to read the drive and give you a listing. Once I get the listing that's usually enough and I can remove the drive and plug it back into either a FreeBSD or Linux machine and they will be able to recognize the drive again. I had to do that just a few days ago. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises - In G-d we trust. http://webEbenezer.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are utilizing the device you are in order subject to 'any' rules/lawsregulations as they see fit. You may want to 'root' the device with an open source operating system. In the coming years one could look at intel not offering updates to bios or AMD simply playing the game. Impersonation fraud is not cared or necessary. You for one need to create a group plan with the device. If one user of the plan does not obtain specific ownership of the entire network without specifically implementing 'other users are just in a group' you will always loose.

I tried a few things with the cable, but my experiments didn't result in anything helpful.
