Re: Keyboard recommendations

by Frank Sweetser

So my primary keyboard these days is one of the older TEK keyboards. They're still mostly QWERTY, but have moved a few of the special keys around, like enter and delete. Even these took some time to get used to, and a little more time to get used to switching back and forth with the typical layout on anything else. I'd have to see some pretty impressive improvements before I'd try to really put in the work to learn and switch between the whole alphabet. Besides, I find that the keyboard is rarely the bottleneck - I quite frequently can type faster than I can think, so typing faster wouldn't speed up my work at all!

Hi I was at the installfest but, since we had an excess of installers, I decided to sit next to Chuck and suck up expertise by osmosis. The bottom line is that, back home the next morning, I was able to do a full network install of Red Hat 7.1 --- not bad for an amateur/newbie. The bottom line is that, if you have broadband access (I have a cable connection with the town cable company in Shrewsbury) you can suck the whole works off Chuck's mirror at WPI. You can get more details tomorrow night at the WLUG meeting or, if you are in a hurry, first ftp to 130.215.24.5 and move to /pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/7.1/os/i386/images and do a directory listing. You will see a file bootnet.img; download it. Then copy it to a good floppy. Specifically, dd if=/home/bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440 (but, if you, like I, do not trust floppies, precede this with /sbin/badblocks -v /dev/fd0 1440 to make sure floppy disk is ok) At this point you boot from that floppy and a Red Hat install screen comes up and you just follow the instructions for an upgrade. Just press enter at the initial boot prompt to get the option at the top of that first screen -- install/upgrade. When asked for installation method pick FTP. If your box normally uses DHCP pick that on the next screen, otherwise (my case) enter its IP dotted quad etc. When asked for the source, again use 130.215.24.5 and use /pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/7.1/os/i386 for the directory. (do not check use non-anonymous FTP) The Red Hat process will take over from there. You will see lots of activity on the ethernet card lights as the ramdisk stuff is downloaded. This tells you that you got things right up to this point! :-) A couple of screens later you get to pick the class of install. You would want Upgrade. The rest is downhill and pretty obvious, even to me. doug -- Douglas R Waud, Professor Emeritus -- Pharmacology University of Massachusetts Medical School Mailing address: 17 Lantern Lane, Shrewsbury, MA 01545-2006

linux networking question (reformatted for readability)

by Brad

(i appologize for the previous message that i completely unreadable.) Dear W-LUGgers, I had some strange network related behavior that left me baffled and i wanted to hear some theories from more experienced network admins. The network layout is the following. The network is pretty simple, external traffic passes through a bridged-firewall (OpenBSD, my choice) into an OS X server (not my choice) which handles NAT/DHCP/DNS et al., and all the office computers are dhcp clients to the OS X server. The trouble machines are linux (ubuntu) desktop clients. The scenario is the following. I was doing work on the bridged firewall (OpenBSD) and somehow caused it to kernel panic, oopsie! So the bridged-firewall went down thus no-one had internet access, Dou! i quickly bounced the machine. It came back on-line and clients were able to access the internet, huzzah! But, the strange behavior was in two linux machines within the network that were not able to access some external IPs. My linux desktop could not access 8.8.8.8, when pinging, i could see an arp who-has request originating from my machine, i could see the packet come into the OS X server. But the request always went unanswered. The same behavior happened to another linux desktop but with 192.48.178.134 (sgi.com) My desktop could ping sgi.com. So each linux desktop had *different* unreachable IPs. The rest of the internet was reachable. I tried clearing the arp-cache on the OS X server, then clearing the NAT state tables, then I rebooted the OS X server, none solved the problem. I finally renewed the dhcp lease on my linux desktop machine and that allowed the ping to complete. What would case this behavior? Could it be stale arp-cache on the linux machine? ( I *should* have tried to clear the arp-cache on the linux machine before i renewed the dhcp lease, but i didn’t think of that until after the fact.) The linux machine was sending out arp who-has requests so would a stale cache even matter? Why would no one answer the arp requests? I am not an expert network admin (its just a side job since the company is only 15 people). I don’t expect to get a resolution but i’m interested to hear any theories. Thanks and cheers, — brad PS. As a worcester transplant to boston, i am really jealous i don’t live closer to attend meetings. The topics of late sound outstanding.

Re: [Wlug] Need some help with digital signal processing ...

by David Glaser

Tim, After your feedback and feedback received during theWLUG meeting, it seems that it is better to use something like an Arduino instead of a phone as the signal processing box. To that effect, I googled "arduino dsp" and got a whole lot of hits on DSP shields for arduino and on projects that illustrate how to write arduino sketches that manipulate the stream. One possibility would be to have an Arduino with a DSP and a bluetooth receiver. The bluetooth would communicate with a phone and/or a wearable. The phone would tell the arduino what sounds to look for - that is, provide signatures that should be matched. The wearableand/or the phone would be used to give the event to the user. I think that this configuration along with a battery could be configured to fit in a small fanny pack. The arduino could also use zig-bee to communicate with a home automation system and pass events to the phone/wearable. Hmmm, I think we are on to something. -David On 12/12/2012 08:33 PM, Tim Keller wrote: > I would have to imagine having your phone listen to ambient sound and > then filter looking for a whole range of specific sounds is basically > going to use all the phones processing power along with its ram... > > I have to imagine that not hearing the beep when the oven is done pre > heating must be annoying > > Not hearing the washing machine or the clothes dryer buzz would really > piss me off. > > imagine a box.
