Pre-Registration ended at 4:30pm: WLUG Keysigning, Wenesday April 22nd

by Chuck Anderson

If you didn't get an email directly from me to you (i.e. not via the wlug email list), then you have missed pre-registration deadline. I generated the final list of keys at about 4:30pm today. Even so, you can certainly still participate--you'll just need to print your key's fingerprint 10-20 times for distribution to others, as it says here under "Right Before the WLUG meeting": http://www.wlug.org/keysigning/ We usually end the meeting by 8:30-9pm, depending on how long things take.

Re: [Wlug] next week's installfest

by Andy Stewart

Hi Mike, I don't personally have RedHat 7.1 in my possession (I'm a SuSE kinda guy) but I'm sure there are folks in the group who have copies. I suspect that people will bring these to the next meeting, so if you make it, you could probably grab a copy that way.

Re: [Wlug] Dec Meeting announcement / linux-raid problem

by Eric Martin

I forgot to thank everybody for their help. I used dd_rescue to clone the disk and forced mdadm to activate the array and everything was good. Of course now my backup hard drive is throwing errors so it's either heat in the cabinet that's killing hds or a bad mb. I guess I'll be pulling the back off of my entertainment center...
