Full Home folder
by Richard Klein July 30, 2018

July 30, 2018

I found today that my Home folder is full. The culprit seems to have been a roughly 1/2 terabyte .xsession-errors file. I deleted it, but 'emptying the trash' didn't seem to be clearing any space. I found that everything I'd thought I'd deleted recently seemed to still be sitting in $uname/.local/share/Trash. I selected everything in that folder and typed shift+delete. Now nothing shows in the Trash folder, but my Home folder is still full. I rebooted, and that's still the case. What now? [code] Debian-Precision:~$ uname -a Linux Debian-Precision 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux [/code] -- Rich

IMPORTANT: WLUG Mailing List Move Complete
by Chuck Anderson July 21, 2018

July 21, 2018

By now everyone should have received a welcome message from the new list server, wlug(a)lists.wlug.org, along with instructions for setting your password. I'm still working on getting the archives moved over. Please use only the new list address wlug(a)lists.wlug.org to post--if you use an old address you'll get a reminder to use the new one, at least until a few weeks from now when the old server will have to go offline. I'd also like to thank our generous host http://mailman3.com for providing our new mailing list and Hyperkitty web forum free of charge.

IMPORTANT: Upcoming WLUG Mailing List Move
by Chuck Anderson July 19, 2018

July 19, 2018

After 18+ years of the WLUG mailing list being graciously hosted on the WPI campus network at no cost to WLUG, we must move to an external mailing list host as WPI prepares to shut down its Linux email infrastructure after moving to Microsoft Office 365 in the cloud. Phase 1 begins Monday, July 23, 2018, but the shutdown for third-party domains like wlug.org is planned for mid- to late-August. Luckily, we have a new sponsor who has generously offered to host our mailing list at no cost on Mailman 3 with Hyperkitty! We are currently setting up the new mailing list and working out the details, but I wanted to send out a "heads up" message to everyone before anything changes. The plan is to set up the new host in parallel with the existing host, but this necessitates a change in the mailing list address. I also plan to copy the existing subscriber list (and archives if possible) over to the new list, but if that isn't possible I'll let everyone know. More details will be coming soon. I'll also update the WLUG website http://www.wlug.org/ with the new mailing list details when we are ready, so watch that space in case we lose the ability to send to the old list! Worst case, we have the subscriber list backed up and could send an email to everyone individually if it becomes necessary. Thanks, Chuck

TinyArcade and Arduboy
by Dennis Payne July 18, 2018

July 18, 2018

I've been playing around with the Tiny Arcade by Tiny Circuits. It's been a lot of fun programming. The initial development of Color Monster is documented here: http://identicalsoftware.com/games/colormonster The new Pocket Arcade has me really interested but it isn't available yet. I stumbled across the Arduboy. (Stumbled again? I'm pretty sure I saw the kickstarter and decided against it.) Does anyone have one? What do they think of it? I think it isn't quite what I want for a system. Seems like it can be annoying to upload a new game onto the system. While I had fun with the TinyScreen Video Game Kit, I like the microsd card of the Tiny Arcade so you can have multiple games available.
