Re: [Wlug] Grub and E-Waste

by David P. Connell

I've never had problems with grub accessing a usb keyboard, as long as the 'enable usb legacy devices' or similar was active in the bios. As has been mentioned, I don't think you will need the mouse. BestBuy will accept up to 3 e;lectronics items/small appliances per day from consumers, at no charge. Except for tv's and monitors, for which you must pay $10, but receive a $10. BestBuy card in return. Also, no refrigerators or air conditioners or tv's over 37" (?). Anyhow, they have rules, but it is convenient if you can't get an appointment at Balard Street with the city.

I don't have a good space for hosting, but can we use one of the many fine parks in Worcester? Thats the way we rolled in Joisey. As for my USB Keyboard, the BIOS had a switch to turn on USB Keyboards and the Mouse (though I never needed the mouse for grub). Thanks for the help! Ted

Re: [Wlug] Grub and E-Waste

by kstratton＠fastmail.us

The first place I would look is whether or not I could access the BIOS configuration. If the BIOS does not respond to the USB keyboard, I would nor expect something as low level as GRUB to access the keyboard. I have not loked at the source of GRUB, but something as small as grub would have to use a standardized interface. In my mind, that leaves ISA hardware standards or standard BIOS calls.

Re: [Wlug] Grub and E-Waste

by Dignan, Patrick

Grub *should* recognize it. Worcester recycles ewaste. The recycling center was on Rt146 north last time I checked. It costs money, something in the realm of $10 for a computer and they like you to make an appointment.

Grub and E-Waste

by ted

Two somewhat related questions. I went to a USB keyboard after my PS keyboard broke. I am running Ubuntu 10.04. How do I get GRUB to recognize the keyboard? Second, where do I get rid of the broken keyboard? Does Worcester have an E-Waste recycling center? Thanks. Ted

RFC: WLUG BBQ July/August timeframe

by Chuck Anderson

I neglected to bring up this topic at our last meeting. We usually have a WLUG summer BBQ around July or August, so I'd like to get the planning discussion going now. Are people interested in having a BBQ this year, and if so, would someone be willing to host it? WLUG should enough in the bank to fund the food (Andy can you confirm?), so all we need is a place with a BBQ grill and a time. Comments? Ideas? -Chuck

Converting VSAM files

Hi: I have a project in which I need to migrate some data stored in VSAM files to a relational database (mssql). I am wondering if anyone has had experience with extracting data from a VSAM file to a flat file. If so what tools would you recommend to make this happen. tia, Mike

No, that doesn't work. Here's how I tried it. My play file. Notice records two and four: One|two|three|four|Five|Six One|two||four|Five|Six One|two|three|four|Five|Six One|two||four|Five|Six One|two|three|four|Five|Six One|two|three|four|Five|Six Here's the output. Should have returned two records: cat file.txt | awk -F\| '$3 = "| |" {print}' One two | | four Five Six One two | | four Five Six One two | | four Five Six One two | | four Five Six One two | | four Five Six One two | | four Five Six And: cat file.txt | awk -F\| '$3 = "|[ ]?|" {print}' One two |[ ]?| four Five Six One two |[ ]?| four Five Six One two |[ ]?| four Five Six One two |[ ]?| four Five Six One two |[ ]?| four Five Six One two |[ ]?| four Five Six I'm probably have to refresh myself with the regular expression stuff and build a script. Not a bad thing I guess. Somehow I just assumed checking for a blank field in awk was a no-brainer. Now I'm going to have to think. :-\ Thanks Jorden. -- Gary On 06/01/2010 05:24 PM, Jorden M wrote: > So match "| |"?

Awk Null Field

by Gary Hanley

Wow, what's wrong with me? I'm trying to parse a file to eliminate any line from the file to the output where a particular field is is null. The 8th field in this case. I can't get it right! I haven't done an awk script in a long time but this should be simple stuff. Basically I'm trying to do: cat file | awk -F\| '$8 !~ <NULL expression> {print}' Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Gary
