Lenovo Black Screen Issue
by THE HAMMER Oct. 4, 2017

Oct. 4, 2017

..hope this is not too off topic.. Have a friend with a Lenovo ideapad. The screen stays black and does not light up whatsoever. Would anyone have suggestions for best way to go with it? More details: The sticker on it gives further info: Windows 8, intel core i5, and Ultrabook. The power button lights up and stays on when you try to turn the unit on, as long as you keep the power cord plugged in. Apparently the battery holds no charge. The keyboard keys quickly flash once also when the start button is hit. The case does show some dents, and they say it was dropped a few times. They've tried disconnecting the battery thing with no luck. Any suggestions?

Meeting Oct 12th 2017 at 7pm. Topic: Ansible Location: WPI Campus Center Rm 331
by Tim Keller Oct. 4, 2017

Oct. 4, 2017

Hey Gang, Our next meeting will be on October 12th at 7pm. I'm going to give a quick talk on Ansible. It's a handy tool I use for install software on LOTS of computers. I'll also talk about Ansible playbooks as well. After that I figure we can talk about things people might want as topics and then head down for pizza at Tech. As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hi Folks, A buddy of mine and I have been kicking around the idea of starting a local organization for building small robots the would be used in competitions. As a place holder name, we have chosen Autonomous Small Robot Association/Society/League. Attached is a link to a PDF file that provides a bare bones outline of the proposal. Basically, we would be following the rules espoused by the PiWars.org web site and to that end, I am building a little robot that will use image/vision processing to navigate the challenges (RPi, opencv, tensorflow) If anyone of this list is interested, please contact me at dglaser(a)glaserresearch.net or Ron Mourant at mourant(a)gmail.com Regards David Glaser Link to file https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6mq1ywqlxy81qg/Proposal-2017-09-22.pdf?dl=0

HI gang, I am looking forward to seeing all of you that evening! Please look around and see if you have any photos/jpegs/pngs from past WLUG events, and bring them if you can. Maybe you have one of our WLUG Install Fest CDs that Tim silk screened for us way back when? Perhaps you have a copy of Doug Waud's network slides (with the two paper cups and a string).

Re: [Wlug] DNS not resolving
by Richard Klein Aug. 4, 2017

Aug. 4, 2017

I hate to admit that I'm using Kali for a daily driver, but it usually works fine. Plus, it's based on debian. Anyway, I created /etc/resolvconf containing: nameserver 8.8.8.8 and that did the trick. I have connectivity now. I still want to understand the mechanics. As you can see, the NetworkManager GUI doesn't agree with /etc/resolvconf, and the file seems to take precedence over the GUI. http://imgur.com/a/Rngbf On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 9:16 PM, John Stoffel <john(a)stoffel.org> wrote: > > Richard> I did a dist-upgrade on my computer.

Aug. 4, 2017

Hey Gang, I want to start by thanking long time member Doug Mildram for graciously offering up his home for the 20th anniversary WLUG BBQ! Date: August 10th, 2017 @ 7pm. Location: 540 Linden St, Boylston MA Topic: Marvel at 20 years of WLUG and where linux has come in 20 years! Food: If you have special dietary requirements feel free to bring your own stuff. I don't believe that Doug keeps a kosher home so please take that into consideration as well. I'm going to bring an assortment of Hotdogs / Hamburgers / Brautwurst, etc. As well as Chips / Dips / Soda. Doug has also mentioned that his pool is fully operational so if you're inclined to swim, bring appropriate gear. Please email me directory (turbofx(a)gmail.com) that you're coming so I can accurately purchase food and drink. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Can you ping 8.8.8.8? If you can’t ping it, that would explain why you can’t resolve even if resolv.conf is correct. The syntax that others mentioned is good, you should be set if you can ping. If you can’t ping that, can you ping your gateway, what’s you up if you can’t? Hope that helps.

Don't confuse resolv.conf with resolvconf. The file /etc/resolv.conf is the traditional configuration file that says where to find a name server. Try putting this in there: # cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 8.8.8.8 Depending upon your distribution, there may be magic whizz-bang stuff that automatically rewrites this file based upon other configuration files or guis. I think resolvconf is one of those. It may overwrite /etc/resolv.conf, but if a handwritten resolve.conf works, that gives you a place to start. At least that's my first guess. -- Keith

Well that saddens me. I was hoping there'd be a meeting despite me. As for the BBQ I'd like to have it next month if at all possible, barring that having it in autumn worked out really well last year. I'll think up some dates and put them out. The one person I REALLY want to attend is Andy, so Andy since I know you read the mailing list, let me know what works for you and I'll engineer it so. Maddog, that counts for you as well. I'm going to start planning an *actual* list of topics as well. Later, Tim.

I live under the flight path --hardly ever hear anything coming or going at night; never anything of commercial size. Occasional prop plane; rare baby jet.

For that matter, the library itself. I can't imagine they would shutdown their routers & everything else just for one day, would they? Maybe they do, but you could probably test it from the parking lot on Sunday when they are normally closed anyway. Although the airport sounds groovier, plus the rest rooms there might be open too.

Before the next meeting suddenly appears and we're scrambling for a topic, is there something that people are burning to know about? We talked about doing a talk about plex, I'm not sure how interested people are. Another topic that came up was a talk about setting up a RetroPi system. Another topic that came up later was BitCoin. Personally I've always found bitcoin an enigma. If anybody in the group understands it I'd love to learn about it and possibly what tools there are on linux for mining and storing bitcoins.

Reminder! Meeting tomorrow! Apr. 13th, 2017! Topic: glusterfs
by Tim Keller April 12, 2017

April 12, 2017

Hey Gang, Tomorrow we've got a meeting! Time: 7pm Location: WPI Student Center Room 331 Topic: glusterfs What is glusterfs? It's a distributed clustered file system. I recently did a talk about GFS2 and while interesting, it requires centralized storage, a knowledge about stuff like iscsi, etc. It's a beast to setup and isn't that flexible. glusterfs is a different animal. It's a flexible overlay filesystem that let's you take a bunch of basic servers and cluster them into a big homogenous filesystem. If you have four systems, each with 4TB worth of disk, you can make yourself a nice 16TB filesystem, or you can setup an 8TB filesystem with mirroring that spans all the machines or a couple of filesystems that do both depending on your needs. What's great about glusterfs is that it sits atop an existing filesystems on the machines and uses TCP to communicate with both fs clients and the node members. It also has a built in NFS server that allows it to be used by other non linux machines. As usual there will be snacks and refreshments and afterwards we'll head to tech for pizza. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] video from Identity Management, FreeIPA, and Kerberos talk

Someone tried to download a "high" quality file. Sorry there is nothing but this "low" quality one available right now. I might be able to make a higher quality one, but it takes like 4-8 hours for each try, and I figured the video quality isn't that important--just use the PDF slides with this 278MB video file. The audio should be good quality.

Ideas for next meeting (April 13th)
by Tim Keller April 4, 2017

April 4, 2017

Hey Gang, A couple of ideas have been bandied about for the next meeting. 1. A round table discussion regarding internet security. 2. glusterfs. This is a distributed clustering filesystem that lets you tie a bunch of systems into a single cohesive filesystem. 3. ? If people have ideas, I'd love to hear them. I made a list at the last meeting but I don't have it on me... Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] (no subject)

Lustre solves the problem by getting out of the way. The metadata server simply tells the client on which of the nodes the pieces of the file resides. Reading the documentation, when it comes to Lustre, split brain can't happen because the moment any of the meta controllers go offline, the whole thing stops. Definitely with ZFS if you don't start with a plan you're going to have a bad day. The current design for a node is a 1U HP DL360G7 server with ~144 or 288GB of ram. Internal storage is handled by the smart array controller. The next one I build I think I'm going to buy a 9200-8i and route the cables so that all the internal and external storage is JBOD. My current HBA card dejour for external storage is the LSI 9200-8e. As for external JBOD enclosures, there are LOTS of choices. Generally I've stuck with the promise J610s. It's essentially the "expansion" cabinet for a "smart" promise array. It's beauty is in it's abject stupidity. As for drives, currently all my stuff is running 4TB Seagate SAS drives. For "mainline" nodes, I configure them as raid10 pools. This gets me ~29TB of storage per pool For "backup" nodes, I configure them as raidz2 pools. All my backup nodes are 32 disk boxes so the pools are 116TB. Obviously this design is a balance between cost and performance. If I need more slots I'll use a 380 instead of 360 and I'll stick in an Intel X540-T2 10GigE card. It's fun to imagine if you scaled up the disks and the interconnects what a filesystem would look like. Tim.

My first experiment was simply setting up a distributed volume that needs to have each of the "bricks" as they refer to them as being reliable members. However you can configure it to mirror and strip across the "bricks" so they don't have to be. In fact you can setup stripped mirrors, etc. I've now got a number of these storage nodes as I call them. It generally consists of a 1U box, stuffed full of ram, connected to a JBOD chassis full of disks. I then use ZFS to create storage pools. The problem with this is that your scale is limited to the size of a single "node" and while you can play games with autofs it's not a cohesive filesystem. This solves that problem. My only complaint is that it's fuse based. Lustre is a kernel loaded filesystem that'll do the same thing as gluster. However, it doesn't have any of the redunancy stuff, it simply assumes your underlying storage is reliable. Tim.

Admittedly done off the top of my head, without any actual testing. :-) Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntc02,,10.33.52.185, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntc02,,10.33.52.186, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntc04,,10.33.52.187, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntcs01,10.33.16.198, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntcs01,,10.33.16.199, Mike> Normal,Server,xldsps01,10.33.16.162, Mike> Normal,Server,xldsps02,10.33.16.163, Mike> My desired output would be: Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntc02,,10.33.52.185, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntc02,,10.33.52.186, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntcs01,10.33.16.198, Mike> Normal,Server,xldspntcs01,,10.33.16.199, Mike> $ awk -F, 'dup[$3]++' file.csv Mike> I played around with the prev variable, but could not pumb it out fully, Mike> e.g { print prev } Mike> Mike Mike> _______________________________________________ Mike> Wlug mailing list Mike> Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Mike> http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

This seems to work: awk -F, '{linecount[$3]++;tmp=dup[$3];if(length(tmp)==0){dup[$3]=$0}else{dup[$3]=dup[$3]"\n"$0}} END {for (count in linecount){if(linecount[count]>1){print dup[count]}}}' Hopefully this is not a homework problem.

Hey now, folks, This seemed like it should be simple, but I’m at wits end. I simply want to find duplicates in the third column of a csv file, and output the duplicate line _and_ the original line that matched it.

(for meeting projectors) laptops,VGA-out,linux....
by Doug Mildram March 10, 2017

March 10, 2017

doug> Thanks Tim for bringing a functional laptop w/linux for last night's meeting. Our VGA-out projector worked fine as he installed a linux Mint VM (Mate Cinnamon) onto it. When that finished, I wanted to show/compare Mint Mate, which I had already on my laptop. When I unplugged Tim's laptop from VGA-out and tried my own thinkpad running Mint Mate (dualbooted, my alternate OS).....well,.....chirp. The projector stopped projecting. My Fn-F7 key seemed to be trying to cycle thru the blind toggles/choices (Duplicate display? screen-only? VGA-only might expect), but no video came out, I had to give up, not having tried VGA-out ever while running linux on my laptop. We put Tim's back onto VGA-out, and it also seemed dead, but we chose not to fight it, meeting being close enough to stop caring about projector, and it "wasnt a proud moment" for me. SO I WENT HOME and plugged my (same) laptop into my TV's VGA-in port. Started by booting win7. I'd never noticed a detail : at WHICH POINT does this start working....should I expect to see the dualboot/GRUB menu on TV? Apparently not. Soon enough though, Win7 (the OS preinstalled by Lenovo/thinkpad) came up and VGA-out/TV started working as usual. (somewhere AFTER "Resuming Windows", it starts working). To control VGA-out, Fn-F7 works ...I've got (4) choices: Duplicate, Extend(laptop-screen=#1, TV-VGAout=screen2), Projector Only (turns off laptop display), and Disconnect Projector (only laptop display ON). No doubt (i surmise), thanks to windows drivers. Feels like I learned: OS controls VGA-out (somehow naively I was inclined to believe this was more of an OS-independent hardware function). OK, now rebooted laptop/win7 to try Linux Mint from a win7 state with "Duplicate" working. "Shutting down Windows" displayed....laptop goes thru boot/BIOS?...TV is blank now, I've learned to expect this....Linux kernel boots, and I see some of the minimal console text messages as usual ALSO ON TV, laptop-screen AND TV quickly go to graphical mode, also displaying the Mate background... and this is where I was the most surprised. TV/VGA-out appeared "frozen' with the Mate background, appearing much like my laptop screen BUT MINUS anything else (no bottom launch/status/"panel" bar. Whatever I launch on my laptop screen, does not appear on VGA-out. Fascinating! Wed eve late, at my house, I could swear Fn-F7 still wasnt doing anything. But this Thurs AM, it DOES start working a bit (same 4 choices, but blind, and it's strange. TV/VGA-out doesnt show EVERYTHING). I wonder if I'd rebooted at the meeting, would that have helped, probably. Today I play with it some more (ALT-F2 helps when I'm in that semi-blind VGA-out situation, getting SOME things to show on TV) even though I'm not likely to use this feature much?ever? at home, unless I break a leg. Caveat, practice what you bring for meetings to project-OUT! HDMI is also an option in our WPI meeting/conf rms if you have it. ---trivia for Mate interest... (Mate = lightweight alternate to Cinnamon. Their start/launch menus are different, and I can find good stuff in Mate's Control Center. Cinnamon's Control center looks like this: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2V313X0LzmQclJCVkI5aFhIeDA/edit Couldnt find a good Mate comparison Control Center screenshot (not sharing some high-ad google'd choices) but I did like this decent page mostly cuz i love keyb shortcuts: http://securitronlinux.com/bejiitaswrath/some-useful-tips-for-the-linux-mat… where I learned CTL-ALT-d (lowercase "d" not DEL, which offers to reboot) .....lowers-or-raises what you're doing, a great "quick hide from over-shoulder" ninja move.

Reminder! Meeting TONIGHT March 9th, 2017! Topics: KVM, Virtualized windows apps, Linux Mint!
by Tim Keller March 9, 2017

March 9, 2017

Hey Gang, First the important details! Location: Rm 331 (Hagglund Room) @ 7PM Topic: read below... Tonight we've got a meeting! After the last meeting a couple of people were asking me questions about KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine). New member Al Reinhart asked me a question about the best ways to run windows apps on linux, either via wine or through KVM / Oracle Virtual Box. He also mentioned Linux.Encoder (the first linux ransomware) which I didn't even know exists. Long time member Doug Mildram also wrote me about Linux Mint. A distribution I know quite well! They'll be some conversation and we'll kick off an install and talk about it's merits as a greate distribution. As usual, there'll be refreshments and snacks and afterwards we'll head to Tech for pizza! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Tim, Another newbie request. Tomorrow night can you spend a few minutes talking about running Windows apps on Linux, i.e., Wine and virtual machines (my impression is VirtualBox seem to be the most popular). Last month the issue of ransomware came up and the consensus was there is none on Linux. In my wanderings around the web I came across Linux.Encoder as Linux ransomware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux.Encoder.1 Thanks, Al On 03/06/2017 08:55 PM, Tim Keller wrote: > Hey Gang, > > This is a reminder that we've got a meeting March 9th, 2017! > Location: Campus Center Rm 301 (Hagglund Room) > Topic: To Be Decided! > > Honestly, this meeting kind of crept up on me!

Hey Gang, Our rescheduled meeting is tonight! Feb 16th @ 7pm. The location is changed a bit, we're going to be in the Hagglund Rm (rm 301) in the student center. Go to the top of the stairs and go to the right instead of left. I'm going to be speaking about storage protocols, ending up on iscsi. I'm then going to talk about gfs2 in particular and then show gfs2 working across two nodes. We're also going to talk in general about filesystems, LVM, partitioning, etc. I expect that latter topic is going to be come a general group topic. There will be snacks and refreshments (coke only) and afterwards we'll head down to Tech Pizza!

Meeting Reminder: Jan. 17th, 2017: "How to pick a single board computer"
by Tim Keller Jan. 11, 2017

Jan. 11, 2017

Hey Gang, This is a reminder that there's a WLUG meeting January 17th, 2017! Here's all the vital details! Topic: How To Pick A Single Board Compuer Speaker: Jon "maddog" Hall Time: 7pm Location: Campus Center Room 331 "Mid Century Room" While in the near past there were few choices when it came to "SBC" single board computers, that's not the case anymore. Now there's a whole cornucopia of choices and architectures. Thankfully, Jon "Maddog" Hall is going to get help navigate the myriad of choices. Like always expect his talk to be educational and hilarious! Snacks and refreshments will be provided and as always they'll be pizza down at Tech to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. P.S. I'll be unable to attend this meeting due to a prior engagement. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to the US
by Hauke Laging Dec. 9, 2016

Dec. 9, 2016

Hello, in May 2015 Berlin's Linux user group (BeLUG) has started a new type of event which has spread quickly all over Europe: the Linux Presentation Day (LPD) 2015.1: Berlin only 2016.1 & 2016.2: 120+ cities in 15 countries 2017.1: first locations outside Europe (Canada, New Zealand, probably more) I contact you because we intend to expand the LPD beyond Europe next year. The aim of the LPD towards the general public is to provide biannual and comprehensive information events about Linux for private users who would like to get a first impression of Linux. The aim towards the media is to make the event so big (both nationally and internationally) that the nationwide non-IT media cover it regularly. The aim towards the Linux community is that an LPD event can be so small and easy to organize (even without costs) that really everyone can try to organize an event with good chances of success. The local organizers decide on their own what their event shall be like; we just make suggestions and offer support. You can find a longer description of the concept here: http://www.linux-presentation-day.org/idea/ Are you as an organization interested in participating in the LPD? If not: Are any of your members interested in helping us bring the LPD to the US? This event is very useful for finding new LUG members. Best regards, (Mr.) Hauke Laging -- http://www.linux-presentation-day.org/ International phone contact for the Linux Presentation Day: tel:+49-30-55579620 (13:00–23:00, German and English) XMPP (Chat with OTR): linux-presentation-day(a)jabber.ccc.de OTR: 91626899 1C06F2BD 75EC2441 35C696CE 38F75997

Meeting Dec 8th at 7pm: Topic: Personal RPZ
by Tim Keller Dec. 6, 2016

Dec. 6, 2016

Hey Gang, Long time member Eric Martin has graciously stepped up to do another talk. This time it'll be about setting up a personal RPZ server. We all know we'll be setting lots of new devices up in the coming month... RPZ is basically a "spam" filter for your DNS. It works to keep your devices from gong to sites infected with malware and "jam the lock" of any existing mailware from getting back to it's command and control. Eric will give an overview and explain a quick and dirty on how to set one up. Time: 7pm Location: Campus Center Rm 301 (Haggland Rm. It's on the same floor as the Mid Century room we're normally in, only at the top of the stairs take a right instead of a left. We're still waiting for confirmation After that we'll head down to Tech Pizza. As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I will be hosting a key signing party tomorrow for WLUG. What is a key signing party you ask? A key signing party is where people get together in the real world and verify each other's identities so we may communicate securely in the digital world. *What do I need to do beforehand* Before the party, please email me your *FULL* PGP KeyID (gpg --fingerprint ${EMAIL} ) gpg --fingerprint ejmartin2(a)wpi.edu pub 4096R/C704B30F 2013-06-29 [expires: 2017-09-22] Key fingerprint = C74F 1EBF 2E80 7984 8CB5 064E BF17 D34C C704 B30F uid [ultimate] Eric J.

There are plenty of GUI tools for Windows, Mac and Linux, I prefer the CLI though. *gpg --gen-key* will get you started. I prefer RSA keys 4096 bits long, but you can do otherwise. Do not use anything under 2048 bits in length. *What do I need to bring* 1. Yourself 2. A copy of your key's fingerprint to confirm the copy we'll be distributing 3. A government issued photo ID You can find details at http://wlug.org/keysigning/ (just send the keys to eric.joshua.martin(a)gmail.com) If you come out to dinner tomorrow, ask me about RAID 6 arrays losing 4 drives at a time ;) As usual Snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll be heading down to Tech Pizza to keep the nerdiness at full power. Thanks, Tim.

Tim, The meeting announcement I sent to the IEEE members (see below) included the wrong room number. I cannot notify them before the meeting of the typo that was in the announcement. Tomorrow I will be in Boston all day at a VMware vForum conference that ends at 4-5 o'clock and can't be sure I will get to WPI before 7pm. Is there some way you can put up some signage on Washburn doors indicating the correct room number? I don't know how many, or if, any IEEE members will attend but the meeting's topic should be of interest to some of them. Thanks, Al ------------------------ IEEE Meeting Announcement: Container Technologies When: Thursday, September 15th, 2016 Time: 7 to 9 pm Where: WPI, Washburn Labs, Room 232 This Worcester County Section Computer Society Chapter and the Worcester Linux User Group (WLUG) joint meeting will introduce and discuss software container technologies. The presentation will introduce and consider application containerization and container orchestration including some comparisons between current platforms (Docker, etc). Over the past couple of years container technologies have become an increasingly popular and important virtualization alternative. Consequently, software developers involved with web based and mobile application development, and "microservices" in general, are being expected to understand container technologies, and how to containerize their applications and manage a containerized environment. By packaging microservices in containers the applications can, if required, be portable across all the physical, virtual, and cloud environments, increasing agility and efficiency, and greatly accelerate time to market. The meeting's presentation, by William Temple, will consider, with an emphasis on the Docker/OCI and the Kubernetes orchestration stack: - Containers 101: Introduction & Motivations - Container Technologies -- Docker -- Open Containers Initiative -- LXC, rkt, and others - Container Implementation -- namespaces -- cgroups -- security implications, comparison to Virtual Machines - Containers in Production (Kubernetes, etc.) - Containers in Consumer Environments (Flatpak, Snappy, etc.) The meeting presenter is William Temple, a Senior Computer Science major at WPI who has spent the last two summers working on container technologies at Red Hat under the Project Atomic/OpenShift banners. The meeting will be held on the WPI campus in Washburn Labs, Room 232. The meeting will start at 7:00 PM and should end by 9:00. Reservations are not required. For last minute meeting information check the WLUG web site: http://www.wlug.org If you are not familiar with the WPI campus, a map is at http://www.wpi.edu/about/visitors/campusmap.html After the meeting, attendees usually go out for pizza. If you have any questions you can contact Al Reinhart at AlReinhart(a)ieee.org ------------------------------ On 2016-09-14 07:24, Tim Keller wrote: > Good Catch! It is room 323!

Hey Everybody! We have a WLUG meeting on Sept. 15th at 7PM! Here are the vitals: Location: Washburn Labs Rm *323* @7pm (NOTE room 323 not 232!) Speaker: William Temple Topic: Container technologies... The speaker for this meeting is William Temple. Here's what he recently posted to the list (if you didn't already see it) Thanks for inviting me to give a talk on containers this Thursday. I'm a Senior at WPI and spent the last two summers working on container technologies at Red Hat under the Project Atomic/OpenShift banners. If you all are interested, topics for discussion could be: - Containers 101: Introduction & Motivations - Container Technologies -- docker -- Open Containers Initiative -- LXC, rkt, and others - Container Implementation -- namespaces -- cgroups -- security implications, comparison to Virtual Machines - Containers in Production (Kubernetes, etc.) - Containers in Consumer Environments (Flatpak, Snappy, etc.) If there are any other container-related topics you'd like to hear about, please just let me know and I can work them in. I'm mostly familiar with the Docker/OCI & Kubernetes orchestration stack, so I won't be able to go into technical details about other systems, but can give an overview if someone else wants to get into the weeds about any other container systems. I'd like to thank Logan for getting this organized and for William for being accomidating of our location and schedule change. As always, there will be refreshments and snacks and we'll head to Tech Pizza afterwards! See ya there! -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Gang, WPI's scheduling software decided that 8:30pm was close enough to 7pm... We're going to move the meeting to the 15th, so we can have a) a better choice of meeting rooms b) a more acceptable meeting time!! The topic is still going to be Docker, only now a week later! I'm still confirming with Will, but I figure it's better to get this out now then wait. Sorry for all the confusion.

I'd personally be interested in that, particularly if it gets into LXC or, say, the oft-underlying technology of cgroups. --Chris On 09/05/2016 05:55 PM, Christopher Thompson wrote: > Hi All! > > Been a good while since I've been able to come along, but I have a > possible opportunity to ride along there with a new friend.

I'm hearing a consensus for pushing the BBQ off till Sept. or Oct... Which means we're still going to have a meeting this Thursday! We've got room 129 in the campus center reserved.

It should be right after -lhamlib but it isn't. When I cut / paste the link command and manually make that modification, the link is successful. I tried a different modification. I took out the AM_LDFLAGS entirely in src/Makefile.am, and then I modified the following line by appending "-lm".

So I spun up a droplet on Digital Oceon running Ubuntu 16.04 and with the above change, and the following steps, I got it to compile.... # apt-get update # apt-get install gcc libhamlib-dev make libgtk-dev libgtkextra-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev # wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xlog/xlog-2.0.14beta.tar.gz # tar xzf xlog-2.0.14beta.tar.gz # cd xlog-2.0.14beta/ # vi src/Makefile.am - added in AM_LDFLAGS = -lm # ./configure # make and it did it. I'd like to say I'm really impressed at how there are NO compile warnings at all. Nice clean coding! But if you could get more detailed error messages from those reporting problems compiling, that would be a big help as well. Thanks, John

We'll see how far I get. :-) Busy with a bunch of stuff today and tomorrow, so it might be a few days...

HT Receiver
by Gary Hanley July 15, 2016

July 15, 2016

Hello folks, I hope I'm not breaking protocol for posting this but I'm replacing my home theater receiver and looking to sell my current unit so I thought I would offer it here. I think it's a good deal for anyone who doesn't need the very latest HT specs. I bought it new for $1100 when it was first made available about three years plus ago and it works as good as the day it was purchased. It's a Yamaha RX-A1020 and the product page can be found here: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/aventage/rx-a1020_black_u/ As I type this there are new models on eBay for $699 and a used model for $550. I'm asking $500. The unit is still attached to my HT system so I can demo it for anyone who might be interested. Thanks everyone.

Linker error: DSO missing from command line
by Andy Stewart July 15, 2016

July 15, 2016

Hi Everybody, I have received a few reports indicating that xlog will not compile without error from the source tarball. Since I'm the xlog maintainer, I get to fix it, but so far, I've been unsuccessful. The error looks like this, and I've easily reproduced it on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: /usr/bin/ld: gui_gtkprintdialog.o: undefined reference to symbol 'trunc@@GLIBC_2.2.5' //lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line I've traced this to recently modified behavior of gcc, where all libraries needed to properly link the executable must be included on the command line. In this case, "-lm" is not explicitly on the command line, and thus the error. I have succeeded in making it work in this way, but it is just a workaround: ./configure LIBS="-lm" make make install It seems that automake 1.15 is needed to help get around this issue, and that version is part of Ubuntu 16.04. However, I'm stuck, trying to figure out the "right way" to fix this. I've googled for a couple of hours, trying to figure out what needs to go into configure.ac and/or Makefile.am, to no avail. I tried this in configure.ac: LT_LIB_M (nope) I tried this in Makefile.am: LIBS=-lm (nope) I also tried this in Makefile.am: LDFLAGS = -lm (nope) In each case, I reran autoconf, automake, and then ./configure, but the linker error persists. I must be missing something easy. Any helpful hints would surely be appreciated.

Sounds like a great idea! We've been getting more into it for some group projects here over the last few months, and would love to hear more about it.
