Re: [Dorset] Dorchester Pub Meeting, Tonight, 2010-01-05 20:00.
Peter, I agree. Back when I was in the mill, I'd precis my entire course notes into four-six pages per course, and learn the lot. Mnemonics where necessary. To learn the linear 6 DOF equations of motion I learned two numbers, a row number and a column number. These gave me the (sparse) matrix for the EOM, which I wrote down on scrap paper as soon as I got into the exam. The night before I stopped studying about 8 and had a drink. A year later I was teaching aerodynamics.

I'm inclined to agree - as one of the students with an exam - however I have to put the exam down as my priority. Painful exam I have anyway, networking exam that has to be answered the way the lecturer wants - not the way I feel the networking should be done. At least the other exams are the way I feel I should approach them. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-12 20:00 *New date* Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.orgchannel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

An example from our coursework - people gained marks for putting a not putting firewall between an internet connect and a web-server. Those who put a firewall between did not receive the marks. Of the people I know who did use a firewall they worked the system internet connection - firewall - web server. With access to non-web ports (for remote access - I used 22 for ssh some people used more Microsoft focussed ports - honestly remote desktop on a web server?) only allowed from a restricted list of ip addresses or something. With this mark being 'lost' it was defended for a) security and b) resiliancy. If there is a firewall between the server and the internet then some protection from DDoS and other attacks can be put in place. The lecturer just stood and said, web servers should be open to the web so you don't need a firewall. Like I say, even justified and (personally) correct answer just don't fit into his 10 year old text-books so they are wrong. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-12 20:00 *New date* Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.orgchannel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

Re: [Dorset] Ubuntu manual and cups error
See You in February. There is no Printed manual for Ubuntu. Ask Your questions here, if you can't find them in the Forums or the Ubuntu Wiki Documentation. The Official Ubuntu Book (Prentice Hall) is ok for newbies. eg. In Kubuntu 9.10, I used to have a printer, Laserjet 5M, but it now doesn't work, I have removed it and re-installed it, and checked all the connections, and get There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'. when I try to do a self test. Any body else had similar problems? I suspect one of the upgrades. Peter M. Try :- Uncomment application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.types and uncomment application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.convs. I notice F12 Cups config is different and no longer has these two files in /etc/cups. Try `locate mime.types`.

Welcome to the mailing list, Ron. There will be a Bournemouth pub meeting in February. http://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=meetings:pub#the_king_s_arms Next meeting at Bournemouth: Wednesday 2010-02-03 20:00. There's normally an email or two giving a reminder sent to the mailing list nearer the time. As for an Ubuntu handbook, I don't have a particular recommendation. I know there are various ones in print. And perhaps some are also available to download. Alex Bebb found The Official Ubuntu Book, 4th Ed. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Ubuntu-Book-Benjamin-Mako/dp/0137021208/ which covers version 9.04 of Ubuntu but 9.10's now been released. Perhaps one of the others on the list can recommend something? Cheers, Ralph. See You in February. There is no Printed manual for Ubuntu.
