Looking for Trixbox and A2 Billing project support (Simon)
by Simon Kigo 17 Jan '09

17 Jan '09

I have a project consisting of setting up a prepaid phone card operation using Linux server, Trixbox and A2 Billing sofware. I have Trixbox running on a Centos Server right now, but there is more work to be done. I dont know if anyone has experience in this kind of setup or in VOIP area. If you do, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance Simon --- On Fri, 1/16/09, wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> wrote: From: wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> Subject: Wlug Digest, Vol 63, Issue 5 To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Date: Friday, January 16, 2009, 12:00 PM Send Wlug mailing list submissions to wlug(a)mail.wlug.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org You can reach the person managing the list at wlug-owner(a)mail.wlug.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Wlug digest..."

Depends on what kind of programming you want to do: low level drivers, OS internals, application, GUI, etc. Just find a project that interests you, join the developers mailing list, start to learn 'git' (or subversion or mercurial) for distributed development and then jump in. Oh, it also depends on which language(s) you are familiar with and want to program in as well.

Last week I was stuck. I had a broken SUN sparc64 ULTRA ONE. I asked WLUG for help. John Stoffel rose to the bait. My SUN now works better than ever. (We installed four fast ethernet ports thereby replacing a broken old fashioned eth0.) Thank you (publicly) John. I have another question. I am a retired computer programmer. I ended my professional days as a Senior Software Engineer for CISCO Systems in 2004. I am getting bored. (and my 401k is getting hit). I am curious as to whether I can contribute to an Open Source project. How do I join an open source community? Are they all parts of large corporations or schools? I just read that CISCO is embracing the open source idea. Oh course, I shall get hold of them. Do any of you have some knowledge on this subject? Ken Jones

Hyper Terminal into SUN SPARC ULTRA??
by Ken Jones 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

I still have not solved how to get my AURORA LINUX package to see the added SBUS quad ethernet card in my SUN SPARC ULTRA --so---> I am after some of the files that I have stored on this SAMBA server. I figured I could use Hyper Terminal. I have an appropriate cross over cable with a 24 pin connector to plug into the SPARC's Terminal A or Terminal B. I can configure Hyper Terminal on my PC running WINDOWS XP. I am stuck figuring out how to get the SUN to activate this asynchronous interface. Any suggestions?

Problem Sparc ULTRA 1 not seeing SBus Fast Ethernet
by Ken Jones 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

I have a Sparc Ultra 1 which has been running flawlessly since 2003 running Ansel 2.4.20-2.3sparc. Last week after a nine day power outage the system no longer activates eth0, the TPE ethernet interface. I installed a --> Sun 501-5443 x1049A quad 4-port SBus Fast Ethernet card The operating system does not recognize this new hardware. This system has been running so flawlessly for at least four years that I have forgotten much of what I had learned about Aurora.(I am an elderly man by high tech standards). The little green input light corresponding to the port to which I have attached the fast ethernet cable does illuminate. Where do I start? Ken Jones

A second Aurora - SPARC question....
by Ken Jones 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Oops! I just looked inside my ULTRA SPARC ONE. The ethernet I/O appears to be embedded in the big mother board. That is not good if I am correct. Any suggestions?? Ken Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Jones To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 6:31 PM Subject: Aurora - SPARC question.... Folks, I've not been WLUG active for a year or more. Back then the half of my 111 gig PC disc which was dual booted with FEDORA developed a permanent error. The other half's XP installation has been OKAY. I have learned to us WINDOWS. Meanwhile my SUN ULTRA running as an Aurora SPARC SAMBA file server since 1993 has been chugging along just fine. I live in Fitchburg. We have been without power for nine days. 110 volts came up yesterday evening. Much to my chegrin my SUN was unhappy. I used a rescueCD to boot. All came back except my ethernet card. It would not start. The little light at the far end on the IP cord does not glow... --------- /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart says, "Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0 ... failed. [FAILED]" The card is claimed to be a 'sunlance' card. Any ideas? Is the card fried do you think? I have a second SPARC machine. It's ethernet was working last time it was powered. Must I swap?

Driver for SUN SBUS ethernet card.
by Ken Jones 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

My SUN ULTRA 1 has lost its eth0 card circuit. I have purchased a Sun 501-5443 X1049A Quad 4-Port SBus Fast Ethernet Card for my SUN ULTRA 1 running Aurora. The original fast ethernet circuitry is part of the SystemCard. I do not wish to replace the system card. Will I have a problem finding a driver? Ken Jones

Hi I haven't used GnuCash but I hear its a great program. Has anyone used Openbravo. I just installed it on a local Ubuntu server. I would like to move the instance to an EC2 machine. Does anyone have experience with Amazon EC2 installations? I have an Ubuntu EC2 machine running but need further assistance. I Would love to hear about your experiences. --- On Sat, 12/13/08, wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> wrote: From: wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> Subject: Wlug Digest, Vol 62, Issue 5 To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Date: Saturday, December 13, 2008, 12:00 PM Send Wlug mailing list submissions to wlug(a)mail.wlug.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org You can reach the person managing the list at wlug-owner(a)mail.wlug.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Wlug digest..."
