by Tim Keller 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hey Gang, We've got a WLUG meeting tonight! Time: 7pm Location: WPI Student Center Rm 128 (Taylor Rm) Topic: I can talk about NGINX for a couple of minutes of people are interested. Then I thought I'd open up the floor for a general conversation and we can talk about what we'd like to do for topics and speakers for next year. As usual I'll have snacks and refreshments and we'll head down to Tech or the Boyton for dinner and to continue the conversation. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Next WLUG meeting Dec. 14th 2017 Topic: TBD
by Tim Keller 01 Dec '17

Hey Gang, What would people like to talk about this month? I'd love some ideas. Now that we've all been priced out of bitcoin, a conversation about mining rigs for other cryto currencies might be interesting. I recently setup a nginx SSL gateway so I could talk about that. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

HOWTO create ISO that is both BIOS and UEFI bootable
by Andy Stewart 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

Hi everybody, I've noticed that the Ubuntu 16.04 ISO is bootable on systems with BIOS as well as UEFI. From scratch, I've remastered Ubuntu, but my ISO file is only bootable via BIOS. I'd like to remedy that situation by figuring out what magic is needed so that my ISO file can be booted either way. I have a chroot directory in which my files live. I have scripts that convert all of that into an ISO file. My guess is that I need a new/modified incantation of mkisofs plus some additional files for UEFI. Despite a lot of searching, I've not yet found the info that I need. If you have definitive information, please let me know. Thanks!

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting, tomorrow night. Location: WPI Mid Century Rm 331. Time: 7pm Subject: 3d Printing FOSS software. I'll be doing a quick talk about software that I've been using to interface with my 3d printer. I *might* bring the printer... I'm currently having some electrical issues with it... but in either case I can give a quick demo of FreeCAD and Cura. As usual, there will be snacks and refreshments and then we'll head down to Tech for pizza.
