Help with water level problems
by Eric Martin 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hey all, I had a close call with my hot water heater this afternoon. I heard on odd noise in the pipes and it turned out that my hot water heater was dumping water out of the overflow valve. Luckily, I found it quick enough, and I'm pretty sure I got it handled for < $150. There's a 1 Gal bucket under the overflow valve, and if I had a water level detector emailing me that water is in the bucket, I could have caught this earlier. I was looking at buying an Arduino and setting up a simple circuit. I know a few people have played with Arduinos, any suggestions on which one to get and how to go about it? I don't need to know how much water is in the bucket, I was thinking about a float type device or even two wires that trip a relay. I just want a heads up that water is in the bucket so I can stop before my basement floods. Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin

A question about KMS API's
by Jason Couture 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Anyone know anything about the KMS API? From userland? I'm working on a project and would like to use KMS/FB directly, as at boot there will be no binaries available except ours, No libc even. Just a few static binaries. if anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated it. I can't seem to find anything on it on google, and I really don't have the time to go pouring over the kernel source.

Re: [Wlug] Wlug Digest, Vol 106, Issue 5
by Karl Lind 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi Chuck, It doesn't have to be 2 HDMI compatible outputs. It just came to me that the Pi has a composite video and a stereo audio out port too. One of each would be super as I have power supplies, keyboards and mice for both my Pi's. The four OS's (which might be overkill for time) that I plan to bring for the demo are Raspian (a Debian distro that is running a web server), Gentoo, Fedora and OpenELEC (an XBMC type distro). Also if possible Ethernet access?

September talk
by Karl Lind 16 Aug '12

Yep, still up for it. Is there a way to connect two HDMI sources up to projector/tv/video in the room? Reason I have two Pi's and I thought after the talk can have two running for demo purposes.

Cross-compiling for Windows
by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

I cross compile a program for windows on my linux box. After doing so I grab all the dlls and package them up. Typically this involves grabbing what I knew was needed and then testing on a windows box to determine if anything is missing. Is their some program in wine that can output what dlls are needed (like ldd) so I can write a script to package up everything? Obviously it doesn't generally change except when I upgrade to a new Fedora version but it would be nice to automate packaging everything. Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com

x86 Android VM
by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com 20 Jul '12

20 Jul '12

Has anyone played with the x86 android images? I've tried running it under kvm but can't seem to get networking to work. I tried 4.0 rc1 a while ago. Looks like I may have found my answers on the release notes. It says ethernet doesn't work. Looks like 2.2 is the last version with working ethernet. That's disappointing.

Need keysym code of the FN key -- how?
by E Johnson 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

Hi guys, I finally got a new keyboard after muddling along with my supernice one that was rapidly dying. Many errors, repeating keys, skips; cable had to be exactly the right angle; lights went out, etc. It needs rewiring. A soldering iron is on its way, whenever the lender can drop it off here, which clearly will not be today. Meanwhile the new one is almost okay, even if it is plastic. This is a Perixx PERIBOARD-502 PLUS, Wired USB Keyboard with Touchpad. BUT -- it has one serious fault. On this keyboard, the outboard key on the lower left side is FN but it needs to be CTRL. The CTRL key is in the wrong place. I use this key hundreds of times/day. So I need to remap this key to be the CTRL key. I can run xev to get the keymap codes, for all keys but this FN key. Apparently the FN key won't give any output by itself, at least not using this method. Without the code, I can't xmodmap this key. I need output like this: KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001, root 0x111, subw 0x0, time 1003909681, (508,-351), root:(512,327), state 0x4, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False -- where the part in parentheses after keysym contains the code I need. The manufacturer said they would check with their R&D, but it might take several days. Some solutions to issues like these say this can be done in the BIOS, but there's no guarantee, and I don't want to mess with the BIOS anyway. Is there another way I can find the keymap code for this key? Some keep-it-simple method that won't fry my overheated brain? Thanks very much, Liz J

RFC: WLUG BBQ July/August timeframe
by Chuck Anderson 23 Jun '12

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, so all we need is a place with a BBQ grill and a time. Comments? Ideas? Chuck

Hello, My name is Rich. I've been using Ubuntu and CentOS for a while now. I'm into servers and I'm interested in documentation. I'd very much like to come to the next meeting as I live very close to WPI. I've written a guide about running a Redmine server on CentOS 6.2. It's not complete because i want to add other repositories like Git and SVN besides Mercurial (hg). You can download it at http://107.22.171.253/hg/test/file/fb531026ab76 I've written it in DocBook but there is also a PDF in the repo. Please email me if you wish. Have a great day.

USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected
by E Johnson 27 May '12

27 May '12

We have a problem here with keyboard being disconnected many times/day. If I unplug the USB connector, then plug it in again, this works some of the time, but not always. If re-plugging it in does not work, then if I plug in the keyboard at a different port, it sometimes starts working again, but not always. The front USB ports seem a little stretched out; sometimes wiggling the connector temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. The back USB connectors seem nice & snug, but the problem does also happen when plugged in back there. This is output of lsusb: Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 007: ID 046d:c062 Logitech, Inc.

Sometimes the keyboard works normally for many days, then this disconnecting problem crops again, seemingly random. I can't identify a specific reason why this starts happening, or stops happening. But it's becoming more frequent now. I am not finding a solution in the forums (or maybe I am not searching with the right terms). I am getting zillions of repetitive error messages, a small sample of which is pasted here below. I had these same kind of messages since several years ago, on a different computer (different processor, mobo, case, mouse, keyboard & all) running an earlier version of my OS (Debian). I get similar messages here in a different computer, different keyboard & mouse, running Debian Squeeze. This computer is running Debian Lenny. It is soon to be retired since I just built a brand-new one, but can't retire it until I migrate a whole lot of files to the new one & do some tweaking & installing various apps. Hope someone here has run across this issue & has found a way to solve it. I can't crawl under the table umpteen times/day to plug in a USB cable. Very frustratiing problem. Sample of error messages is below here. Ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow! Perfect! Thanks to everyone! I used: (in the directory I need output from) ls -1 > /home/EJ/Directory/CurrentList.txt That text should now drop into an XL doc or something, from where we can print it. Beautiful. Thanks guys!

list filenames within directory > output to text file?
by E Johnson 08 May '12

08 May '12

Is there an app or command line tool which can copy all filenames within a certain directory, and output these filenames to a plain-text file? I need to list about 400 filenames, then drop these into an xl doc, in order to sort. Don't need to know permissions or anything else. I think sort might do it < http://ss64.com/bash/sort.html >, but probably I need help creating a command that will list only the file names, which I can then copy/paste to an xl doc. I am running Debian. I have one Squeeze and one Lenny here. Thanks extremely, Liz J
