OpenSUSE updates
by Richard Klein Feb. 4, 2016

Feb. 4, 2016

I'm having trouble with unresolved dependencies when trying to get updates with Apper in OpenSUSE: nothing provides libvpx.so.3()(64bit) needed by libavcodec56-2.8.6-55.1.x86_64 nothing provides libgnutls.so.30()(64bit) needed by libavformat56-2.8.6-55.1.x86_64 nothing provides liblzma.so.5(XZ_5.0)(64bit) needed by gstreamer-plugins-libav-1.6.1-2.1.x86_64 Is it just a matter of finding the right repositories? Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- Thanks! Rich

Next Meeting Feb. 11th 2016: Topic: ELK Location: Atwater-Kent Room 232
by Tim Keller Feb. 3, 2016

Feb. 3, 2016

Hey Gang, Here's the details for our next meeting! Please NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE! Date & Time: Feb. 11th 2016 @ 7pm Location: Atwater-Kent Room 232 Topic: ELK Presenter: Tim Keller ELK is an acronym that stands for "Elastisearch Logstash Kibana". It's platform that lets you gather data, search it and then create dashboards to display it. A good example might be having a single place that you can graph out the trends of disk usage across all the machines in your data center. I'm going to talk about setting up an elastic node, deploying logstasher and creating dashboards using kibana (and possibly grafana) Refreshments and snacks will be supplied and we'll have pizza at Tech afterwards to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Talk on ELK?
by Tim Keller Jan. 27, 2016

Jan. 27, 2016

Would people be interesting in me doing a talk on Elastasearch / LogStash / Kibana (ELK) with some graphana fun through in for good measure? I spoke with my buddy Nick about doing a crypto talk but he's going to be too busy in Feb. to do it. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] My SUN ULTRA1 machine.

This makes no sense to me. If there's no power... how is the sucker moving when you hit the button? Can you just pull the cover off the system, unplug *everything* execpt the power cord and press the power button on the front? You might need to hit the power switch on the back... trying to remember if it was a toggle, or a hard on/off switch. The U2 has a toggle... U5/U10 is hard on/off. Cannot remember the U1 switch. Sorry. Ebay to the rescue! It's a toggle switch on the back for power. No front panel power switch. Anyway, with the power connected and the power switch pressed, what happens? Does the CPU fan spin? If not, you're going to need to replace it first off. If the fan wiggles but does not spin when you power on the system, try reaching in and giving it a twist, it might then start spinning, but not likely. You should hear some beeps and boops at this point, time to dig up old manuals and see what they say for trouble shooting. But honestly, just toss it and get a BeagleBone of Raspberry Pi to play with instead. More memory and cpu speed for sure. :-) Ken> With the whole machine together with the key board attached, it Ken> goes ‘beep’ while some lights flash then nothing..... Does the keyboard flash when this happens? I assume you're trying this with the keyboard/mouse plugged into the system?

I have a bit of experience too, and I think I have a bunch of connectors. Let me know if you want me to bring a few.

Which model Ultra? I spent alot of time on the Ultra 1 140/170 models, Ultra 2 (still got one running at work!), along with Ultra 5/10 and newer. You need to provide more details on the exact model, and also let us know what other elements the system has in it. Do you have it on a serial console or a monitor? Finding those old Sun 13W3 monitor connectors is a pain, though I probably have some kicking around to goto VGA if I look hard enough. For the Ultra 1 series, make sure the CPU fan spins. They had a heck of a time with them dying and then overheating. The Ultra 2 is a slightly simpler beast, but I'd just pull one of the two procesors and all but two sticks of memory. As I recall, you want it in some certain slot order, not right next to each other. Pull the disks, they're not needed at this point, you want to see what the BIOS shows on bootup first. And if you don't have a monitor and keyboard hooked up, then you will want a 9600 serial connection. John
