Arduino

by E Johnson

I have an Arduino here, never used; new in packaging. This is an Arduino Uno, I guess the original, made in Italy. The kit contains the controller board, a 16 x 2 character LCD module (green screen), and a power supply. See wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino I will never use this, but I know someone can. Maybe a fun project for the right kid or parent/child combo to build something with it. Someone should come get this. I am conveniently located near Elm Park, not far from WPI and easy to find. You could drop by on your way to/from the meeting. I could tuck it away out of sight on the front porch for you, with your name on it. Liz J

Hi Andy: I am interested in further details on the Linux Sysadmin position. I have Sysadm experience on Solaris and AIX systems and would like to move to Linux.

Re: [Wlug] Smart package manager

Greg Avedissian mentioned the Smart package Andy> manager (http://labix.org/smart) as an alternative, so I gave it Andy> a try. This is really interesting. I've been very happy with 'apt-get' on my Debian box, but I've been totally ticked at how slow 'yum' is on my Fedora Core 3 box at work. I should probably just rebuild the thing, but hey, it's my main desktop and working for now. But yum is just not a fast too. John

Red Hat controversy

by Joshua Stone

Hey everyone, I didn't talk about the Red Hat controversy at last night's meeting, namely the decision to stop publishing RHEL sources to git.centos.org <https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream> and the implications this has on the various RHEL clones. If there's anyone still interested in hearing about the rationale behind this recent decision and the response that's created from clone makers, then I recommend listening to the following Linux Unplugged episodes: Caught Red-Hatted | LINUX Unplugged 517 (timestamp 00:08:39): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra-mXDI-keo The Clone Grift Wars | LINUX Unplugged 519 (timestamp 00:06:02) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdYn_xlOma4 I hope that brings some much-needed context to the discussion. - Josh

Re: Seeking Linux Help

Can anybody lend me a boot repair flash drive or CD and/or one with Ubuntu 20 or later. Do you have any other computers? And a USB flash drive which is empty?

Can boot older version > (16) of Ubuntu but not ver. 20. So you're dual booting? If you can boot Ubuntu 16, then you should be able to download the install ISO for 20 and copy that using 'dd' to the thumb drive. Or download an install 'ventoy' onto a thumbdrive, so you can have multiple different ISOs on one thumb drive and boot from which ever one you want. > Error msg: ... not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown > block(0,0) I will greatly appreciate any help. This sounds like your Ubuntu 20.x install went south. Was this a new install or your current system? Did you apply any updates before this problem came up? So I think what you want to do is boot an Ubunto 20.04 or 20.10 ISO, and then go into 'rescue' mode or shell mode. I honestly forget. But the idea is to then get into your setup, chroot to your old non-booting setup and re-run the 'update-grub' or 'update-initramfs' tools to rebuild your setup. But we do need more details. Would it be possible for you to bring the computer to a WLUG meeting? People would be able to help you there more quickly than over email. I might or might not be there tonight, and I'm busy all weekend with other stuff. > George Caplan > Acton, MA > email: gmcaplan(a)gmcaplan.org > Phone: 978-263-5288 (landline, no texts) > On 2024-12-10 5:57 am, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > Good, you passed the test! > On Mon, Dec 9, 2024, 9:57 PM Keith Wright <kwright(a)keithdiane.us> wrote: > Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: >> We've got a meeting this Thursday at Technocopia in Worcester! >> Time: 7PM >> Date: Dec 12th, 2024 "20241224" > Wow!
