HSI Vent Maybe Help?
by Ted Nebus Nov. 5, 2009

Nov. 5, 2009

Hi! I am new to the area, and a long time Linux user (not uber geek, just user). I signed up for Verizon HSI. I finally got service yesterday, I rushed hope plugged in my equipment, and called up to tell them their "start-up" CD won't work. I wanted to know how to work around that. I worked through the menu, and entered non-Windows, Non-Mac OS X operating system. I was actually excited to find out that I had that option! When I got through, I explained my problem, and after he asked me to spell "Debian" I knew I was in trouble. After putting me on hold, he told me that he had to check his notes, and gave me a number, and told me to call it, because I have a Mac. I explained to him that I don't have a Mac, and then he said to call the number. I called, and it was the number for Linksys customer support. I called back, and fortunately got through to someone who knew that Linux was an operating system. He said they don't support linux, but then helped me anyway. Ultimately, they found out my line is broken and a tech will be coming. Why would Verizon give me false hope that they support non-PC and non-Mac operating system? Is there a more linux-friendly HSI provider in Worcester? Thanks for hearing me out, Ted

I guess I was lucky. Verizon did not offer DSL in my area so I went with Charter. Of course, I am not running Linux at home, so I cannot attest to how the service would be. How about borrowing a friend's MS laptop and getting the connection to work? Then switch to using your Linux machine. That will be one way to see where the real problem lies. /Steve -- Steven Greenberg Email: steve(a)ssgreenberg.name 251 Holland Rd.

Chuck, Your other choice would be Charter, which is the cable company. As for whether they are Linux friendly I don't know. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Anderson <cra(a)WPI.EDU> Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 11:33 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: Re: [Wlug] HSI Vent Maybe Help?

Sorry, I keep forgetting which email address I signed up with... I would add quotes and use while, just in case the directory names have spaces and such. "for" splits on any whitespace, which could be quite troublesome. grep -RFl "moe" somedirectory/ | while read file; do echo mv "`dirname "$file"`" "destination_path"; done Randall Mason randall(a)mason.ch On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Randall Mason <randall(a)mason.ch> wrote: > I would add quotes and use while, just in case the directory names have > spaces and such.

Adding to that: for FILE in $( grep -lRF moe somedirectory/* ) ; \ do echo mv -v $(dirname "$FILE") destination_path ; done Remove the "echo" and repeat if it looks Ok. Uses dirname to move the containing directory. -Jamie On Thu, 29 Oct 2009, James Gray wrote: > On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Maurice <mauricep(a)cds-cumberland.org> wrote: > > Looking for some guidance; > > > > I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and > > thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each > > folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find > > "moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move > > (not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to > > another location... > > > > I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this > > happen. > > I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 > > times within the text file(s)... > > I think this should do the trick.

grep, maybe
by Maurice Oct. 29, 2009

Oct. 29, 2009

Looking for some guidance; I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find "moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move (not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to another location... I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this happen. I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 times within the text file(s)... Any ideas??? -- -Maurice Pelletier Child Development Services - Cumberland County 50 Depot Road Falmouth, ME 04105 207-781-8881 (voice) 207-781-8855 (fax) www.cds-cumberland.org "Linux -- it's not just for breakfast anymore..." -Moe

Hi All, I wanted to follow up on a few threads from last night's meeting... - I learned from Tim's presentation that Pygame wraps SDL, as well as providing other useful classes and code. I happened to be poking around the Spore installation on my Macbook, and I found that it uses SDL, and even includes source! guinan@macbook:~ $ find /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app/ ... /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers/begin_code.h /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers/close_code.h /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers/SDL.h ... /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL-source-with-transgaming-updates.tar.gz ... Not Linux-specific, sure, but neat that SDL is used in one of the biggest games of the past year. - Possible solution for the broken sound device on that laptop, http://rightsock.com/~kjw/Tech/usb-sound-C-Media.html - Andy and other ham enthusiansts, you might like this podcast, http://soldersmoke.com/ Its mostly about Ham radio, but also homebrew electronics in general, with some amateur astronomy, and in recent episodes he's been doing more and more with Linux.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody, My apologies for the late notice. We do indeed have a WLUG meeting on Wednesday evening, October 21, 2009 at 7:00 PM on the WPI campus. Our speaker will be WLUG member Tim Keller, and the topic will be Pygame. The meeting room is near the former Access Grid room. If you walk into the main entrance to Morgan Hall, and turn right toward the dining hall, you will see a door on your right just before the dining hall. Enter that door and there will be a short hallway. We will be in the room on the right. This is the same place where we met last month. I'll try to remember to put up a penguin poster to guide you. Afterwards, we'll go out for pizza and more great conversation, as is our tradition. Any and all are welcome to attend.
