LTSP meeting slides
by Andy Stewart Aug. 18, 2003

Aug. 18, 2003

Hi Everybody, I've just posted the slides from the previous WLUG meeting on the website. There are in StarOffice format as well as HTML. From the WLUG home page, scroll down and click the link for "Past Meeting Information". For those of you who were unable to attend, I dare say you missed a good meeting. There were alot of questions and people really seemed interested in the topic. Fortunately, my client computer booted off of my laptop server just like it did when I left home. I even went out on a limb and attempted to get Doug Waud's computer working as a client, since the "live demo" concept seems to be a popular feature of WLUG meetings. I hadn't seen Doug's computer previously, but he did bring the proper network boot floppy. I "got Doug-ed" the first time (you've got to watch your cables and power cords around Doug) by a network cable that wasn't entirely plugged in. By the third attempt, his client booted with minor video artifacts, probably due to not using the correct XFree86 software. I'm soliciting ideas for the next meeting, which will be the first meeting of the year with the new crop of WPI students. I hope to have a great meeting planned so that the WPI students will continue to attend, as they constitute a sizeable percentage of the WLUG membership. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Reminder: WLUG Meeting, Thurs Aug 14 - 7:00 PM
by Andy Stewart Aug. 14, 2003

Aug. 14, 2003

Hi Everybody, This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting on Thursday, August 14, 2003, at 7:00 PM in Olin Hall on the WPI campus. Go into Olin Hall's front door, to the top of the stairs, and we'll be in the big lecture hall on the left. I'll be addressing the group at this meeting, and the topic will be the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). Come and learn how to use your old, potentially obsolete hardware as a graphics terminal connected to a more powerful server. I'll demonstrate (live!) how a Pentium 90 with 48 MB of memory and a 10 Mbps ethernet connection could be used effectively as an LTSP client, running any Linux program that is installed on the server. I've also got a couple of those Linux Format magazines for raffle (one with a CD, the other with a DVD). I'll have sodas and cookies also for refreshments. After the meeting, we'll make our monthly pilgrimage to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beers. All are welcome to attend. There is no admission fee for admittance to a WLUG meeting. Donations are always welcome but not required. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Hard drive crashed!
by Andy Stewart Aug. 9, 2003

Aug. 9, 2003

HI everybody, I've been out of touch all week due to a catastrophic hard drive failure. My hard drive is only 1.5 years old and its an IBM Ultrastar 18 GB SCSI drive with a 5 year warranty. IBM/Hitachi will be getting it back assuming it fails their diags, which I have to run as a prerequisite to getting an RMA. Naturally, they are DOS based diags. They have incredibly fussy rules about packing the drive for shipment, lest one voids one's warranty (say that three times fast). Believe it or not, it died while I was doing the tape backup!! I lost about 1 weeks worth of Quicken transactions and the photos from my sister's wedding (which I can recover from CDs previously burned for other family members). I got lucky. The moral of the story is: Make sure you do your backups! This is the 2nd hard drive that I've lost in the last 12 months (the first one was over 5 years old). Or, just run most of your machines as LTSP clients and don't worry about disks..... :-) Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: [Wlug] libcrypto.so.4

Aug. 7, 2003

I found what looks like the source files from a tar package in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/Python-2.2.3. It appears that I could build it by running the usual ./configure make ... process. There are no rpms in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/. Do I need to build the rpm from this? As a reminder I am using the SuSE 8.2 distro so the directory structure is slightly different. --Mike > > Did you install the resulting i386.rpm files from the rebuild step? > They should have ended up in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 > > -- > Charles R.

I have discovered that the files in the expat-devel package are already installed on the system so I ran rpmbuild --rebuild --nodeps .... It appeared to compile with a lot of warnings about anti-aliasing. Unfortunately the warnings scrolled out of the term buffer so I don't have the exact warning. This process is very verbose and I don't know if it completed successfully or not. When I query the rpm database it still shows the old version of python.

What has me concerned is that there is an expat package and it is installed on the system, but I am still getting the missing expat-devel error.

I have yet another question...when rebuilding the source rpm I get an error saying that I need the expat-devel libraries. My distribution either doesn't come with them or they are part of another package and I am not seeing it. If I download and rebuild the source rpm package for expat-devel from rpmfind.net what is the risk that it will break something on my system.

Hi, I am attempting to install the rpm python2-2.2.3-1 and get the following error: edev:/home/mlong # rpm -Uvh python2-2.2.3-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.4 is needed by python2-2.2.3-1 libssl.so.4 is needed by python2-2.2.3-1 rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by python2-2.2.3-1 I then tried updating openssl-0.9.6i-12 with openssl-0.9.7a-16 and got a large list of failed dependencies. The two files I need are a part of the latest openssl package. How should I go about resolving the python dependencies? Thanks, Mike

At 08:26 AM 8/2/2003 -0400, you wrote: >SNIP< Further more I think It would be interesting to get involved with public schools in Worcester to promote the use of Linux. I put up a small page on my web site to address this topic, which I have called SLIPS (Supporting Linux In Public Schools). (btw.. I think the next LUG topic should include LTSP! I have this working in a vmware window using just one comp) Also an admirable goal. However, this one presents an even larger challenge. Looking at it realistically, school system educators (teachers as well as administrators) are the most stubborn, least innovative group I have ever encountered. There are exceptions in each school but to achieve adoption of anything which is not brain-dead simple to use is an impossibility. Linux is far from brain-dead simple to use. Better to concentrate on promoting business usage and then let the school systems lag behind as they always have - unless you are a glutton for punishment. Sounds like you've had some experience with the education system! <grin> As the technology administrator for the Millbury Public School District, I can concur in part. Something new is counter to the culture of many schools. We at Millbury have been using Linux on the server side for many, many years. And, thanks to Skip Gaede on this list, we also ran Mac LTSP clients in one of our libraries. Since schools are not the place for innovation <smirk>, it is difficult to get Linux on the desktop. In many instances, it isn't possible due to the lack of Linux support from most educational software manufacturer. Yes, we could run Win4Lin and all that but that defeats one of the big arguments of client software cost. It also limits and confuses most school staff members who want to evaluate software. If I say, "Can't do it, we run Linux", guess what the next comment will be. In small or specialized environments, I can see great success with infiltrating Linux. In my district, we strive to make all clients identical so that it maximizes our investment. Students can go anywhere in the school and see the same functionality. For me at the moment, putting Linux in one of the labs would limit this flexibility. Linux desktop is not out of the question for schools, just not the best choice *AT THIS TIME* for all instances. If the school is not already heavily invested in Windows curriculum software then some of the many Linux choices would be a good offering. We, for instance, use a $800/PC Windows math program to help boost our students' MCAS scores. We also require all our Sophomores to have a full year of MS Office which they also get a certificate of completion. Like everywhere else, there are politics that go along with technology decisions. Cost, along with "what are the other districts our size doing" are the two big questions you will be confronted with. I have the fortunate situation where I am allowed the freedom to make the best choice for our district. Right now, its a combination of Linux and Windows. If the situation arose that a Linux desktop would be the best choice for the user, then Linux it will be. In fact, that may not be too far off judging from the number of students I've heard of running Linux at home. If anyone else is interested in discussing this subject further, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm glad to see any enthusiasm in bringing OpenSource to schools. - Rob

SLIPS MA Open Source Bill
by Matt Higgins Aug. 4, 2003

Aug. 4, 2003

New to the list, and wanted to know what you all thought. I'm looking to put together a bill that will require state gov to consider OSS when sending out RFP's. The bill would mirror those being proposed/stalled in other states such as Washington and Texas. I have been in contact with state Rep Robert Spellane who is positive about the subject. I believe he would be more responsive if the WLUG were also supporting this. Further more I think It would be interesting to get involved with public schools in Worcester to promote the use of Linux. I put up a small page on my web site to address this topic, which I have called SLIPS (Supporting Linux In Public Schools). (btw.. I think the next LUG topic should include LTSP!

WLUG Meeting - Thurs. August 14th - 7PM
by Andy Stewart Aug. 3, 2003

Aug. 3, 2003

HI Everybody, I'm going to announce this meeting "early" (at least relative to most of our meeting announcements) in the hope that it will whet your Linux appetite and entice you to attend this meeting. The meeting topic will be the Linux Terminal Server Project (http://www.ltsp.org) The speaker will be your fearless leader, Andy Stewart. With the use of this software, a person can create a network of computers which uses one powerful server and any number of less powerful diskless client computers. A user would log into the client computer, and would be doing all of their work on the more powerful server transparently. Some advantages to this technique are: - maintenance is largely localized to the server - reuse of old, otherwise obsolete, equipment - security concerns are localized to the server - control over what users can access One disadvantage: - if the sever dies, everybody is dead No doubt you're asking: - how can I boot Linux on a diskless computer? - how is it that I do my work on the server? - why is system management easier with this configuration? - in what practical situation is this configuration advantageous? The answers to those questions, and many more, will be forthcoming at the meeting. I will prepare slides for the meeting which I'll put on the WLUG website afterwards. I will also walk through the many files required to setup this configuration. A live demo will be part of the meeting. To make this a bit more interesting, I'd like to ask a few people to bring in some equipment to help me (please RSVP to me to insure that we have enough of the right things): - a multisync monitor with 1024x768@72Hz capability (my spare died) - a 10/100 network hub or switch - some Ethernet cables - one or two other client machines: - could be laptops with network capability and bootable floppy - at least a P90 with 32 MB of memory, bootable floppy, video, network, etc. My hope is that we could demo 2-3 working clients off of my laptop server. I'll bring one known working client plus the server. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Linksys Router
by Michael Long Aug. 2, 2003

Aug. 2, 2003

Hi All, I have a linksys router that is acting as a dhcp server. The last firmware upgrade has change the lease time options to allow a lease to expire between 1-99999 minutes. Occasionally one of my boxes gets assigned a different IP address which invalidates the port forwarding rules. I would prefer to use static IP's but I am depending on my isp (verizon dsl) provider for their dns servers and they serve me with a dynamic address which changes reqularly. My initial thought is to write a script that checks the IP of my box and if it has changed, use links to update the port forwarding rules on the router by sending the appropriate URL to the router. Any other solutions, workarounds, hints or feedback are welcome. thanks, Mike

HI everybody, I am wondering what we should discuss at our next meeting - any ideas? I have been playing with diskless clients lately. There are a couple of ways to do this: a) load and run a Knoppix CD with no hard drive b) LTSP - Linux Terminal Server Project If people are interested, I could give a talk / demo of some basic LTSP stuff. I've got it working between a lame P90 and my laptop server. Let me know if you have other ideas, or if this idea sounds like something interesting to you.

kernel choices in Debian

I'm planning on wiping out my SuSE 7.2 installation and trying Debian 3.0r0. The install manual says that kernel 2.2 is the default, and kernel 2.4 is an option. I can't find anywhere that says why I should choose one over the other. My SuSE is already using 2.4. Seems like it would be a step backward to install the default 2.2. Any ideas or suggestions?

X is freezing
by Baris Hasdemir July 28, 2003

July 28, 2003

Hi, When uptime reaches around three days, somehow a weird situation is happening. X usage suddenly jumps around 99% freezing the X environment. X seems to have frozen, but I can move the mouse pointer. Nothing else can be done. I log on to this machine from another one on the local area network using ssh, and reboot it for a temporary solution. If I restart only the X server, I believe it doesn't take that long to have the problem again. a total reboot gives me another 2-3 days. as soon as it freezes, connecting to this machine from the other one, I tried looking at the log files under /var/log several times. no entry has been added to xfree log in the last 10-15 minutes. and the files which have been modified in 15 minutes does not have any entries relating to the situaion, at least to my knowledge. suspecting the ram of this partially new system, I checked my rams with memtest-86-3.0. no problems are reported. suspecting the gdm, I tried without it as well. problem regenerates as usual. I don't know whether it is related but, another strange issue I am having is that: with or without gdm, sometime(not soon) after X login "alt" key starts not functioning. for example, alt+shift cannot change the keyboard layout or ctrl+alt+f{1-6} cannot take me to the consol and of course I cannot kill the X server using ctrl+alt+backspace. motherboard: Asus A7N8X cpu: AMD Athlon 2500+ video card: creative tnt2ultra 2X video driver: nvidia distro: slackware 9.0 ram: 512MB swap: 256MB Do you have any ideas? where would you think I should start from? thank you, baris

SCO is getting greedy...
by Bill Smith July 22, 2003

July 22, 2003

I got this as part of a mailing list for Information Week. I thought you would find it interesting. It's worth noting that SCO is working on THEIR SAY-SO. It is my personal opinion that any company that cowers and pays SCO just because they are using Linux is foolish. IANAL. It would be very much like some company deciding they wanted to bill you for services they didn't render. Would YOU pay that bill? If you haven't been following this story, SCO is the current owner of the Unix source code. They CLAIM that some of the System V source code made it into the Linux kernel, a claim that has not yet been substantiated. SCO has not (yet) publicly shown their "evidence". To date, the only way to see the source of their claims (no pun intended) is to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Many of the people that have agreed to SCO's requirements aren't technically savvy. Most of the people that WOULD know what they were looking at are either not interested in signing anything (like an NDA), or they just don't think that SCO has a leg to stand on. SCO themselves think that most of the Linux community will laugh in their (SCO's) face. I am proud to say that I am one of the people laughing. ;) ANYWAY, here's the teaser and the link to the article: SCO Group Wants Its Money With Unix System V copyrights in hand, the vendor introduced a plan to charge those who've used Linux as an alternative to Unix for UnixWare licenses. http://update.informationweek.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eMu10FEZ5Z0V20B4bt0AU -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com "And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies." -- Linux Torvalds * TAG! v3.1 *
