Tonight...
by Keller, Tim March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

I'm not sure what Maddog's rules are on this, but would anybody (specifically, those at WPI, who might have access to the equipment) be interested in taping the lecture tonight? I've got access to a NLE machine and a DVD-R burner, so I could make DVD's out of the lecture if people would be interested. Thanks, Tim.

RE: [Wlug] Weird garbage characters in info/man
by Keller, Tim March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

Eureka! I can't take credit for finding the fix, my co-worker found it on Usenet via google groups... The temporary solution was to export LANG=en_US the permanent solution is to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n to make it permanent. I hope this helps others...

add memory, loose sound?
by Bill Mills-Curran March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

I just added 128 MB of memory to my Dell Optiplex GX1, and now my sound card (on motherboard CS 4236) is no longer recognized. It's possible that I did something bad to the motherboard when inserting the memory cards. Or, is there any way that adding memory (now 128 + 128 + 64) could disable the sound? TIA, Bill

Hi Everybody, I'm sending out this reminder early in the hope that we'll have alot of people coming to this WLUG meeting. At this meeting, our guest speaker will be Jon 'maddog' Hall. maddog is the executive director of Linux International and a great speaker. He has spoken at two (or three?) previous WLUG meeting and we're happy to have him back again. The meeting will be held in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA (the usual place). If you need directions, they can be found on the WLUG website. Light refreshments will be served, and I'll bring a couple of items for the free (as in beer) raffle. After the meeting, we'll go out for pizza and beer at the Boynton Restaurant. Please pass the word around to all of your Linux friends! Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

by Sean March 20, 2003

March 20, 2003

I have a web based project at work that requires a talented Perl programmer to build a user database/authentication scheme and perhaps tie that database into another or rebuild the whole thing from scratch. Familiarity with MySql a necessity, and would mostly be off site requiring only a few visits in the beginning (We are located in Whitinsville). Contact me off list to discuss rates, details, etc. Cheers, Sean

Is there a way that I can use up2date to manage multiple installations? The last time I used it, it indicated that it was limited to one machine per user email. TIA, Bill

workshop on hacking/free software
by Mike Gorse March 20, 2003

March 20, 2003

Hi all, I will be facilitating a workshop at WPI on Saturday on hacking and the free software movement. It will be held as part of a conference on "tools and alternatives," so we will be introducing free software (to an audience which will not necessarily be that technically-oriented; the conference will have a broader focus than just computers) as an alternative to relying on restrictive commercial software. I am looking for someone to co-facilitate, so if anyone on here would like to do that or just has ideas on ways to convey our message and make the workshop interesting and interactive, then let me know. Tia. -- Michael Gorse / AIM:linvortex / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org --
