Looking for monitor
by John Stoffel Dec. 2, 2009

Dec. 2, 2009

Hi all, I'm looking for a cheap (free if possible) old monitor someone wants to get rid of. Something in the 17-21" range, but probably not much bigger since they get too heavy. Thanks, John

FiOS & PONs
by Chuck Anderson Nov. 20, 2009

Nov. 20, 2009

As a followup to a discussion we had after the WLUG meeting, here are some good pages to read about how FiOS works. Verizon is using Passive Optical Networking, either BPON or GPON depending on the CO. The downstream side is shared, since by its very nature a PON's downstream direction is broadcast on a single wavelength--the light goes from the OLT to every customer's ONT on the PON "tree". For privacy each customer's downstream traffic is "encrypted" so only the intended ONT/customer can decrypt it. The upstream side is shared via TDMA since only one customer's ONT can trasmit at a time on the single upstream wavelength "up the tree" towards to root of the PON where the OLT lives...each ONT gets a "time slot" for upstream transmissions. There can be up to 32-128 customers shared on a single PON. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Line_Termination

writing at 1GB/s ?
by brad Nov. 16, 2009

Nov. 16, 2009

WLUG'ers, At work, i might be getting a piece of instrumentation in my lab that that is capable of out putting out 1GB of data per second. In the past i was pretty pleased to write 60MB/s under real-world conditions on my linux systems a few years back. I just wanted to ping the group about this. Does anyone know if a hard drive or even memory come close to writing data at this speed on a linux system? Or, what might the limit for data rates on a linux PC these days. From my google'ing it appears hard drives top out at around 100MB/s. Note: This piece of instrumentation has onboard memory for writing, which i'll probably have to use, but if there was a way to stream the data, it would be preferable. Thanks, -- brad

web hosting?

Fellow Linux Users, Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap, relatively Apache/MySQL/PHP web and POP/IMAP email host? Preferably someplace local. It doesn’t have to be too powerful. A few gigabytes of storage space and max bandwidth in the range of tens of gigabytes per month. Thanks Nick

Hi WLUG So here is the info for anyone else who had my problem connecting to Verizon for the first time. (I write this for the archives) The Westell 6100G modem default IP admin and password: 192.168.1.1 admin password To access the internet and set up your account you have to go to: http://192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect.htm "Hidden Redirect Page" You click the disable button, and then your on the internet. The tech support guy then insisted on helping me set up my Verizon email. Not necessary, but I didn't want to hang up on the guy. Oh, and does the WLUG go out for beer anytime? (as in non-meeting socializing?) Ted

HSI Vent Maybe Help?
by Ted Nebus Nov. 5, 2009

Nov. 5, 2009

Hi! I am new to the area, and a long time Linux user (not uber geek, just user). I signed up for Verizon HSI. I finally got service yesterday, I rushed hope plugged in my equipment, and called up to tell them their "start-up" CD won't work. I wanted to know how to work around that. I worked through the menu, and entered non-Windows, Non-Mac OS X operating system. I was actually excited to find out that I had that option! When I got through, I explained my problem, and after he asked me to spell "Debian" I knew I was in trouble. After putting me on hold, he told me that he had to check his notes, and gave me a number, and told me to call it, because I have a Mac. I explained to him that I don't have a Mac, and then he said to call the number. I called, and it was the number for Linksys customer support. I called back, and fortunately got through to someone who knew that Linux was an operating system. He said they don't support linux, but then helped me anyway. Ultimately, they found out my line is broken and a tech will be coming. Why would Verizon give me false hope that they support non-PC and non-Mac operating system? Is there a more linux-friendly HSI provider in Worcester? Thanks for hearing me out, Ted

I guess I was lucky. Verizon did not offer DSL in my area so I went with Charter. Of course, I am not running Linux at home, so I cannot attest to how the service would be. How about borrowing a friend's MS laptop and getting the connection to work? Then switch to using your Linux machine. That will be one way to see where the real problem lies. /Steve -- Steven Greenberg Email: steve(a)ssgreenberg.name 251 Holland Rd.

Adding to that: for FILE in $( grep -lRF moe somedirectory/* ) ; \ do echo mv -v $(dirname "$FILE") destination_path ; done Remove the "echo" and repeat if it looks Ok.

grep, maybe
by Maurice Oct. 29, 2009

Oct. 29, 2009

Looking for some guidance; I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find "moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move (not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to another location... I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this happen. I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 times within the text file(s)...
