Liverpool Linux User Group Meeting - December 2009 Date Wed February 3rd, 2009 from 7:00pm - 8:00pm Location: Liverpool Social Centre, 96 Bold Street, Liverpool, England L1 4HY Speaker: Tom Hall - ZFS/btrfs. Liverpool Linux User Group are a group of Linux and open source software users that meet on the first Wednesday of the month. If no talk is organised then we will usually organise a “open stage” for people to discuss projects, current news, or just to rant. Main Talk Following on from the RAID/LVM talk last year, Tom will talk about the ZFS filesystem in (Open)Solaris, how it collapses the stack and does some of the things RAID/LVM do plus more. He will also look at btrfs and discuss why though the feature list is similar, underneath it is quite a different beast. He will be announcing a new project to build Storage Pods from a design released by Backblaze mid last year and a brief survey of clustered filesystems/high availability solutions to try and get robust file and block level storage on commodity hardware. Open Stage As per usual, time will be allocated to the end of the talk for anyone to give a five minute talk on any subject. If you want some time just drop me a mail or grab me on the day. I'm sure Dan Lynch will want to talk about OggCamp and we'll be discussing LivLUG's role in the upcoming event.

[ubuntu-uk] Liverpool Linux User Group Meeting - 2nd Dec 2009
Liverpool Linux User Group Meeting - December 2009 Date Wed December 2nd, 2009 from 7:00pm - 8:00pm Location: Liverpool Social Centre, 96 Bold Street, Liverpool, England L1 4HY Speaker: Tom Hall - RAID and LVM: Why you want them, what they do, how to do it in Linux. Liverpool Linux User Group are a group of Linux and open source software users that meet on the first Wednesday of the month. If no talk is organised then we will usually organise a “open stage” for people to discuss projects, current news, or just to rant. Main Talk Tom Hall will be giving a talk; RAID and LVM: Why you want them, what they do, how to do it in Linux. This talk introduces the block device (the abstraction that most filesystems expect to consume), and two useful ways of creating them. Tom will explain how devices can be combined for performance and redundancy, including a discussion of the performance characteristics of RAID 0, 10, 5 and 6, a good rule of thumb for provisioning storage, how linux does it, RAIDs failings (and how smart hardware tries to avoids them). Tom will also explain how LVM works, go though some examples (including mirroring and striping and using it for KVM disks). He will try to also talk about network block protocols like iSCSI and AoE, Distributed Replicated Block Device and the Network Block Device. In the new year (or the pub) Tom will be talking about how the ZFS/btrfs filesystems collapse the stack and do something like what RAID/LVM do by (depending on your view) telescoping some complexity or rampantly violating layers. Open Stage As per usual, time will be allocated to the end of the talk for anyone to give a five minute talk on any subject. If you want some time just drop me a mail or grab me on the day. Doors are usually open before 7:00pm if people want to meet up in the centre, The Liverpool Social Centre is two doors up from Forbidden Planet and is the right-hand door at the front of “News From Nowhere”. Check the window for a handy Liverpool LUG sign, which will indicate we are there and not still at the pub.

Accordingly, the centre is having issues with the doorbell so if no one answers give one of the contacts a call to let you in, the number will be posted on the poster in the window.

[Bug 426178] [NEW] std::wcerr followed by std::cerr yields incorrect output
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: g++-4.3
Under Ubuntu 9.04, using g++-4.3, 4.2, or 4.1 (haven't tried earlier
releases) the following code
#include iostream
int main()
{
std::wcerr LHello, world! std::endl;
std::cerr !dlrow ,olleH std::endl;
}
when compiled, will only output Hello, world!, and the subsequent
string will not be output.
However,
#include iostream
int main()
{
std::cerr Foobar std::endl;
std::wcerr LHello, world! std::endl;
std::cerr !dlrow ,olleH std::endl;
}
works as expected, printing out all three strings.

It looks like Manchester has a large population of Ubuntu users, not to mention other GNU/Linux users as well. I think it's time more of us got together and the upcoming Jaunty release gives us the perfect opportunity. So following Jono Bacon's advice [1], I think we should organise a release party around the time of the release - it happens on Thursday 23rd April but the weekend of 24/25th April might be more appropriate. Question is, are people interested and where and when could we have the party? We were gonna try and organise something over at LivLUG, but I guess it makes more sense, Manchester is a nice central location for people up north. I'll be up for it, and i'm sure a few of my friends and a few LUG members will be up for it. Location-wise, how about the Marbella Cafe? That is, if it's still open and has it's cluster of Linux machines, I think it'll be quite fitting. -- Andrew Williams w: http://tensixtyone.com/ e: a...@tensixtyone.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I went into the shop, and they allowed me to try installing the dongle with one of their SIM cards, and the dongle. Well, I was in there for about an hour, and it just wasnt having it. It would install the drivers, it kept on saying it couldnt find them, and it couldnt find the dongle either, even though, when I looked could see the files for the dongle. I even searched on the net, and found a few places that tried to explain how to install, and with the guy in there, we tried, but still we couldnt install the drivers. Has anybody any experience with these dongles, I would really like to get one. What model dongle is it? If it's a Huewai it'll either work or you have to use the likes of usb_modeswitch to get the dongle into the right mode to show the usb serial port.

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)
I had an experience similar to Franzmaximilian's. On a new Hardy install, the keyboard would be fine until I enabled the wifi interface, and then it would immediately start repeating or have very long (30 sec) latency between keystrokes. I resolved this by changing the wifi nic. I removed the Netgear WG311 (with the notorious ACX111 chipset) and replaced it with a Linksys WMP54G, did a fresh install, and everything worked right out of the box...no kb issues and the wifi works flawlessly with NetworkManager. -- Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
