Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected
by E Johnson
We have a problem here with keyboard being disconnected many times/day.
If I unplug the USB connector, then plug it in again, this works some of
the time, but not always.
If re-plugging it in does not work, then if I plug in the keyboard at a
different port, it sometimes starts working again, but not always.
The front USB ports seem a little stretched out; sometimes wiggling the
connector temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. The back USB
connectors seem nice & snug, but the problem does also happen when plugged
in back there.
This is output of lsusb:
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
The keyboard is the Monterey thing, why it's in there two times I have no
clue.
Sometimes the keyboard works normally for many days, then this
disconnecting problem crops again, seemingly random. I can't identify a
specific reason why this starts happening, or stops happening. But it's
becoming more frequent now.
I am not finding a solution in the forums (or maybe I am not searching with
the right terms).
I am getting zillions of repetitive error messages, a small sample of which
is pasted here below.
I had these same kind of messages since several years ago, on a different
computer (different processor, mobo, case, mouse, keyboard & all) running
an earlier version of my OS (Debian). I get similar messages here in a
different computer, different keyboard & mouse, running Debian Squeeze.
This computer is running Debian Lenny. It is soon to be retired since I
just built a brand-new one, but can't retire it until I migrate a whole lot
of files to the new one & do some tweaking & installing various apps.
Hope someone here has run across this issue & has found a way to solve it.
I can't crawl under the table umpteen times/day to plug in a USB cable.
Very frustratiing problem.
Sample of error messages is below here. Ideas, suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Liz J

WLUG Meeting: Wed May 9, Morgan Hall
by Chuck Anderson
Hi folks,
This month, the Worcester Linux Users' Group (WLUG) monthly meeting is
back to our usual Wednesday and our old location:
Wednesday, May 9, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
WPI Morgan Hall
What do people want to talk about this month? I can demo Fedora 17
and some of its new features, including one fairly controversial
change: moving everything to /usr.
Afterwards, we will go out for pizza and continue our discussions.
See you there,
Chuck

Re: [Wlug] list filenames within directory > output to text file? SOLVED
by E Johnson
Wow! Perfect! Thanks to everyone!
I used:
(in the directory I need output from)
ls -1 > /home/EJ/Directory/CurrentList.txt
That text should now drop into an XL doc or something, from where we
can print it.
Beautiful. Thanks guys!

list filenames within directory > output to text file?
by E Johnson
Is there an app or command line tool which can copy all filenames
within a certain directory, and output these filenames to a plain-text
file?
I need to list about 400 filenames, then drop these into an xl doc, in
order to sort.
Don't need to know permissions or anything else.
I think sort might do it < http://ss64.com/bash/sort.html >, but
probably I need help creating a command that will list only the file
names, which I can then copy/paste to an xl doc.
I am running Debian. I have one Squeeze and one Lenny here.
Thanks extremely,
