November talk topics

by Jeff Moyer

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I just recently got back from Germany, where I gave two talks at this year's Linux Kongress. One talk focuses on the state of the automounter, and the other discusses the netpoll API. You can find abstracts at the Linux Kongress website: http://www.linux-kongress.org/2005/abstracts.html If the group is interested in either of these, I'd be more than happy to present. I could also give a quick run-down of what the conference was like, who to go out drinking with, etc. Slides for these talks are available on my people page: http://people.redhat.com/jmoyer/index.html#presentations If there's no interest in these topics, it won't hurt my feelings.

Re: [Wlug] Disabling eth0 upon bootup

by Adam Keck

Hello Mike, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto provides a large amount of doc on doing wifi the Unbuntu way (TM), including disabling eth0. If that does not help, you ought to be able to enable and disable interfaces in the configuration file /etc/networking/interfaces (man interfaces for syntax). On straight Debian that file is parsed by the ifup program at boot time. -Adam On Oct 21, 2005, at 12:31 AM, Cretella, Michael A wrote: > Hey all- > > > I'm running ubuntu 5.10, and trying to understand how the linux bootup > process works..

Disabling eth0 upon bootup

by Cretella, Michael A

Hey all- I'm running ubuntu 5.10, and trying to understand how the linux bootup process works.. Right now upon bootup I'd like to change two things: Not ifup eth0 Configure wpa_supplicant to boot up with the right parameters in order to configure itself to the wireless network here. I think I figured out how to get the wpa_supplicant to work-- I just edited /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant and changed $OPTIONS to the arguments I need in order for it to work. For disabling eth0 on bootup, I could modify /etc/init.d/networking and change the command "ifup -a" to "ifup wlan0" to just boot up my wlan0 on bootup, but I feel there might be an easier way to do this... Hope you can help! -Mike --------------------------- Michael A Cretella Worcester Polytechnic Institute Electrical Computer Engineering '07 cretella(a)wpi.edu (203)610-3618

DELL 720 printer shared on SAMBA??

by Ken Jones

I've unsuccessfully googled this problem. Maybe you folks know a solution. My wife received a freebie DEL 720 printer. It is really a relabeled Lexmark z600 type. By downloading a driver from Lexmark, I got the printer running on my FEDORA 4 machine. I want to share this printer using SAMBA. After installing the same driver on my FEDORA 3 machine its CUPS sees the remote printer and "installs" it. When I ask to print a test page it announces that it had sent the page. Nothing happens on the FEDORA 3 machine to which the printer is attached. It's CUPS says that nothing is in the printer's queue. Any ideas? Ken Jones

RE: [Wlug] deleting a file named "--exclude"

by James Gray

If the Unix shell doesn't like it then try something else... You could try something like: bash-2.05b$ python >>>import os >>>os.unlink('--exclude') >>><Control-Z (just to exit python)> Assuming you have python installed. I think this should be installed by default on most Linux systems. -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org on behalf of dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com Sent: Fri 10/14/2005 11:51 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: Re: [Wlug] deleting a file named "--exclude" No. Unix shells expands everything on the command line before running the program. So "rm *exclude" and "rm ??exclude" expand to "rm --exclude". The program cannot tell that the "--exclude" was expanded from wildcard values.

No, because the shell will expand it to --exclude before passing it to the application which will then see it as an option. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Memory error on Brain1 - R)boot, S)mack upside the head.
