Emeritus WPI CS Faculty member looking for Linux Help in Worcester

by Michael Voorhis

I have an emeritus WPI Computer Science faculty member looking for Linux help in northwestern Worcester. They're having X11 issues, possibly driver-related, with an Ubuntu machine. I don't do on-the-side work like this, so I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in this sort of work? Thanks, --MCV.

Re: = sign in a ls-l ?

by Kevin Stratton

Sorry for the delay, I have just restarted work so I was busy with life related stuff. My NAS box is an X86, so that might explain why I could not get PI-Hole working. I also noticed significant disk thrashing when I left pi-hole running long enough (even though I could not configure it). My personal suspicion is that some kind of permission needs to be set top allow configuration. Pi-Hole is currently uninstalled until I get more than 2G ram for the NAS box. I do plan to run memtest86 immediately after installing the additional ram. I did get docker to run by running "sudo ash" before running the docker commands. Obviously the SSH login did not provide root permission even though I used the admin account.
