Re: [Dorset] Password manager

[Sam Davis]

Hi Tim,

[Pass](https://www.passwordstore.org) is a neat solution although I
understand that it might not be ideal for a family use.

have had no issues so far, would recommend.

Hi,

There's a nice podcast and small write-up by 99-percent invisible that
talks about a fake town that got added to a map:

Starts at ~10:10. It appears there's a ted-x talk too but I've yet to watch

Telegu is the third most-widely spoken language in India.  They write in

write the point, instead having distinct symbols for 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4,
but for 0 they re-use the symbol from integers.  In 789½¼¾ it's clear
the transition from integer to fraction is after the 9, but 7890½¼¾ is
ambiguous because the point might be either side of the 0.  Their
solution is to have a second set of base-4 symbols, say 0¼½¾ for the
first set, and abcd for the second.  The first set is used for the even
positions, and the second set for the odd ones.  7890½a¾ and 789a½b¾ are
now unambiguous because you can never have `.0', and it throws in a
little bit of error detection against putting the point in the wrong
place.  Though I don't know if that was a happy accident.

 Both Flash (YouTube) and PDF files work fine.  I think maybe that review is a

[Dorset] Kernel boot error

[Sam Davis]

Hi All,

I've finally got round to putting Linux (Arch custom linux-c720 kernel
based on 3.16) on my C720 Chromebook.  Upon boot I get the (error?)
message:

usb 2-4: string descriptor 0 malformed (err = -61), defaulting to 0x0409

This seems to have no effect on usage...but it has me worried! Any
thoughts on what this may be? Or places to look for more information?
My google-fu seems to be failing to return any hits.

Thanks,

Sam

Re: [Dorset] Kernel boot error

[Sam Davis]

Hi Ralph,

Cheers for the speedy reply :-)  The kernel links were quite interesting.

 Back to the usb 2-4, that's the device.  On plugging in a USB flash
 drive, dmesg shows
 usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
 and lsusb
 Bus 001 Device 007: ID 7614:5066
 Do you see anything similar around 2-4?  lsusb's -D can be handy, e.g.
 sudo lsusb -D /dev/bus/usb/001/007

 If you unplug all possible USB things you've added, does it still occur?

I had nothing plugged in at the time.  Began looking into the devices
listed on /dev/bus/usb/* using the command and found it was probably
to do with the wireless/bluetooth modules.  Blacklisted a module
(ath3k) and changed some modprobe options for another (ath9k) and it
seems to have sorted it for now...


 BTW, 
 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=string%20descriptor%200%20malformed%20err%2061%20string%20descriptor%200%20malformed
 for me comes up with quite a few similar complaints, including some on the 
 C720.  :-)
 http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/10471-acer-c720-problem/
 Did you ask for -61, only the `-' tells Google to skip items
 containing 61?

I had found those links but they provided no further information of
use :-) (http://xkcd.com/979/)

Re: [Dorset] RPi Power Saving

Hi All,

I had intended to use the RTC that Peter suggested without realising
the Pi could not hibernate/sleep!

The Sleepy Pi module, if a little expensive, powered by the 12v socket
looks like it'll be the way to go :-)

Thanks,

 Hi Sam,

 How about powering the Pi from the 12v socket in the car and using the £10 
 RTC module for time keeping purposes if you need to switch it off?

 If you have it powered from the car battery you can leave it running and get 
 GPS data and images more regularly.

 Hi Peter,

 There's an RTC module at ModMyPi.co.uk for £10.
 https://www.modmypi.com/rasclock-raspberry-pi-real-time-clock-module?filter_name=clock

 Right, that means the Pi can learn the date and time when it's powered
 on instead of having to fetch it over the network.  So it probably
 provides the RTC part that rtcwake(8) needs.  But AIUI the Pi doesn't
 have a means to enter a low-power-consumption state;  it's either on or
 off.  So something needs to cut power when told, e.g. on shutdown(8),
 and turn it back on again at the right time and the Pi will then boot.
 This RTC chip won't do that power-supply control, something more is
 needed.

 Cheers, Ralph.

[Dorset] RPi Power Saving

[Sam Davis]

Hi All,

A friend and I are planning to drive around Europe for a few weeks at
the end of this month.  I intend to use a Pi to track our location and
upload an image with the lat/long data ( twitter API supports this :-)
) to a private twitter account.

As this will happen every, say, two hours I'd like the Pi to shutdown
or hibernate between program executions.  Currently I'm thinking about
using a RTC with rtcwake(8).

Has anyone done anything similar / be able to suggest a more elegant solution?

Cheers!

[Dorset] Strange passwd change loop

[Sam Davis]

Hi All,

When starting up my Arch system and trying to login with my username, sam, I'm 
apparently entering the wrong password.  I have to login to the root account 
and 'passwd sam' to be able to continue.  If I try to use sudo once logged in 
the password for sam that I just reset is rejected.  To make sudo work I have 
to login to root, again, and 'passwd sam'.

Am I missing something? 

Thanks,

Hi all,

I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a PC which has an SSD drive, but
lots of problems have arisen and usability is steadily getting worse
with an increasing number of regular functions no longer working and
many freezes needing complete shut-downs. 12.04 LTS seemed to be very
flakey indeed.

I mentioned it to John Dubery and he though it may be the SSD that is
not suited to Linux, and yesterday my son, an IT-based Systems Design
manager, said that an IT supplier told him not to use SSD drives with
Linux.

Has anyone else experienced, or is aware of, problems when using SSD
drives with Linux?

With reliability of SSDs now surpassing rotating-disk drives and SSD
drives increasingly being supplied as standard in laptops and PCs,
this could be a serious issue for Linux users.

 lifeguard/sports coach for Haven.  Into anything outdoors (travel,
 hiking, r/m cycling, triathlon etc) as well as computers.  Am able to
 drive. Positive, willing attitude! Got 4 A's at A-level in Sept 2012,
 Maths/Physics/Chemistry/Geology.  Was unsure what my next step was
 until I realised I was looking right at it!

 My first email to the group, so fingers crossed it works and I haven't
 done anything majorly wrong!  Shout at me if I have!

 Any questions please feel free to ask, am on the irc group most
 evenings also

 Thanks!

 Sam
