Reminder:  ManchLUG meeting tomorrow (Tuesday 10/22)!

Michael Kazin will be giving the monthly presentation on Icinga, an
Open Source network monitoring system.

Perhaps better known as a fork of Nagios, Icinga provides a robust
solution for monitoring everything from routers and servers, to
databases and websites, and much more if you're not afraid of a
writing a custom plugin.

Michael is a software engineer at LinkeDrive, a Boston start-up
developing a driver-coaching application which helps truck fleets save
fuel.  He implemented Icinga to provide internal real-time monitoring
of devices installed in customer fleets, as well as the company's
server infrastructure.

In his presentation, he will cover everything you need to get started
on your own implementation: from basic concepts, to initial
configuration, and on to writing a custom plugin.

Hope to see you there tomorrow, details below:

Personally I'd be interested in SIP as I have little to no exposure to
it and following closesly is encrypted removal media, as this is
something I should probably be doing... but I don't :)

MakeIt Labs is actually located on the backside of the building at 29 Crown
St. and can be a bit tricky to find. To get here, you will need to pass the
place the GPS says we are at by at least 200 yards. Take a right onto the
tree lined dirt road after Greenerd Press.  The dirt road turns right to
the train yard and MakeIt Labs parking lot.

My solution is to use RSS feeds, but I have them set with search
filters. So for example, I am constantly looking for Honda S2000's or
parts for them. Reading the general Cars and Trucks feed would be
insanity but you can build a search via their normal page then slap
"&format=rss" to the end or the URL. Combine this with their limited
query capability (http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/search) to
exclude some things and you can get something like this:

e.g. Search for "Honda S2000" in CTA (cars and trucks) minus "2000"
and "2001" (model years that had plastic windows) with a price of
$1-15000 and give it to me in rss:

http://boston.craigslist.org/search/cta?zoomToPosting=&altView=&query=honda+S2000+-2000+-2001&srchType=T&minAsk=1&maxAsk=15000&format=rss

There does appear to be a limit with the length of the URL or, maybe
the number of search terms. I once tried to exclude a lot of things
and if I recall the query did not return results.

The key here is, query refinement. What's good is you can experiment
using CL's standard page, then when you're done slap the "&format=rss"
at the end and put that in your RSS reader.

So, I combine about 5-6 different RSS feeds, with specific search
terms and subscribe them all into Google Reader so I can use it
seamlessly on my work, home, and mobile. Marking items as read as I
see them and I don't see them again, minus those reposts, for which
people who constantly repost to CL, sometimes every day.

[GNHLUG] ManchLUG: Oct. 23rd - Social Meeting: Share your horror story

2012-10-18 Thread kenta
Join us on Tuesday October 23th for ManchLUG!

No topic this month. Just a social gathering of local area Linux enthusiasts,
geeks, techies (or all of the above).

Since we're close to Halloween we'll have an open discussion of workplace
or personal HORROR STORIES. Most of us have been there are some point. All
nighters at the office, systemic system failures, pointy haired
micro-managers. Share your stories over a burger and beer.

Schedule:
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Eat, Drink, share your horror story.

Location:
The Farm
1181 Elm St.
Manchester, NH (corner of Elm and Bridge in downtown Manchester)

When you enter The Farm go to the left side of the restaurant and locate
the small function room or ask the hostess for assistance

I accidentally placed this on my calendar for this past Saturday and
as such I showed up on Bruce's door step a week early. I'll be
traveling next week so I wont be able to attend, however I wanted to
send this to publicly thank Bruce for his hospitality and for the
impromptu tour of Miles Smith Farm. What a great location! I highly
recommend you all try to attend if you can.

Carol was there, but I believe she is no longer a current member at
TekArts. She was a member during the formation of the space and spoke
to some of the lessons learned during the start up. Interesting talk.
Not sure why they haven't gotten back to you via email, but as far as
I know they are still still active.

Sounds good to me. I've been meaning to get in there to talk to the management 
and request the function room.

I'd also started to talk to Jamie @ the ABI but my preference is for a place 
where there is beer.

[GNHLUG] BarCamp Manchester 6, Saturday November 12th

2011-11-07 Thread kenta
This Saturday: BarCamp Manchester.

To quote from their site:
" BarCampManchester is an un-conference BarCamp event held annually in
Manchester, New Hampshire, United States. The goal of
BarCampManchester is to bring technology professionals from the
Greater Manchester area and New Hampshire together to learn and
network.

Unlike many conferences you may have been to, a BarCamp is free and
all content is provided by the attendees. It provides a great
opportunity to learn about cutting edge tools and technology from your
peers.

BarCampManchester is on Nov. 12th from 10:00am to 4:00pm"

I try to make this event every year. If you've given a recent
presentation, or would like to give a presentation I'm sure they'd
always appreciate more presenters.Topics in the past have generally
leaned more towards the technical, but of course it's really driven by
who shows up and who chooses to present. Even if you're going to just
listen and learn the topics generally vary greatly and the "law of two
feet" applies. This is being held at the ABI again. Sign up here:
http://barcampmht6.eventbrite.com/

Hope to see you this Saturday!

ManchLUG needs a new home!

2011-09-21 Thread kenta
As you probably know there hasn't been a meeting of the Manchester
Linux Users Group for several months. We've been on a summer hiatus
and the closing of our usual venue, Wings Your Way, has been a
problem.

Manchester area GNHLUG'ers, I need your help.  I'm looking for venues
that can serve as potential future locations for ManchLUG meetings.
The *ideal* location would:

- Be located in Manchester, NH (It's ManchLUG after all!)
- Have an area that can hold 15-30 people
- Access to HD TV or Projector
- Can be used free of charge
- Internet Access
- Food and drink

We may not get all of these in a single venue. If this is the case,
for meetings where we have a set speaker we could use an office type
location (examples: library, the ABI, office) and for social meetings
we could use a local restaurant. If any venues come to mind, please,
drop me a line with your suggestions. Any leads would be appreciated.

Once we figure out where to go, we'll be meeting again!

Computer part recycling [was: New Year's Cleaning]

2011-01-04 Thread kenta
Along the lines getting rid of old hardware from the New Years
Cleaning thread I've been doing some cleaning as well.

What I'm trying to find is a recycler, preferably free of charge, that
will take this legacy hardware (read: junk) off my hands.  I know that
some companies have recycling days but I didn't see any posted around
my area (Nashua, NH).  So far I have found:

- Small Dog Electronics: Website says they'll take stuff for 35 cents
a pound (I should have taken advantage of their recycling day!).

- Best Buy: They have some kind of recycling program, but I don't know
how they react when I show up with a box of hard drives and a box of
ISA cards and mother boards. The info on their website seems geared
towards small consumer electronics.

- Nashua City landfill: Again, electronics seems to be geared towards
PC's and small electronics. Their site says: "Electronics - computer
monitors & components, printers, televisions, VCRs, DVD players,
microwaves, etc. The first two per year are free.  Additional items
will be charged at $5 per item"  Maybe I should find two old cases and
fill every bay and every slot with drives and cards ;)

Anyone know of other places to check?

I would say usually the first sessions right after registration are
the most busy with it starting to taper out closer to the end of the
day. I've got a commitment that evening in Nashua so I'm not sure If
I'll be going to Milly's myself.

languages (C++/.net/python/ruby), web technologies (PHP, Drupal,
Wordpress, HTML5), mobile technologies, networking, security, and
electronics. The sessions presented that day are dependent on the
attendees. As an attendee there is no obligation to be a presenter,
but if you're looking to share something of interest all you have to
do is write it up as a session at the beginning of the day, find a
time slot and you're now a presenter.

I'm thinking of not having a ManchLUG meet for November and
recommending that we form an impromptu ManchLUG meeting at BarCamp if
there is enough interest. Any takers?

America utilizing FOSS, and millions more around the world including
places like inner city Manhattan and inner city Detroit. In addition,
Project Caua will open an avenue for free (as in beer) wireless

I tested a zBoost YX-510 signal booster which is supposed to be able
to boost both CDMA and GSM.  At my house most GSM phones have either 1
bar or no coverage in the center of the house. In order to make and
maintain a call you'd have to stand next to the window or go outside.
CDMA phones varied and would usually maintain a single bar to 3 bars
depending on the location in the house.

I tried several antenna placement setups with the device. First we
placed the external antenna in the window frame, ensured there was
enough horizontal separation between it and the base unit (this was in
their docs). Second we tested vertical separation by putting the
external antenna upstairs. And lastly, we placed the external antenna
about 20 feet outside the house.

In all cases I saw little to no improvement in signal strength for the
GSM and CDMA phones (ATT iPhone, Sprint BlackBerry, Samsung Verizon
phone) despite all three antenna placements.

Boxed it back up, shipped it back and got my money back. I'm not sure
if I got a defective unit, or if it just didn't work as advertised.

[GNHLUG] Reminder: ManchLUG meeting this Tuesday at 7:00PM in Manchester, NH

2010-08-22 Thread kenta
Just a friendly reminder that the Manchester LUG (aka ManchLUG) will
be meeting this Tuesday.

Location:
 Wings Your Way
 1181 Elm St.
 Manchester, NH (Corner of Elm and Bridge)

Date: August 24, 2010
Time: 6:30 for casual pre-meeting drinks and food  7:00 for "official" meeting.

To facilitate and coordinate we've setup this event page:
  http://manchlug.eventbrite.com

We currently have 12 people signed up as well as 3 or 4 others who
have expressed interest but are not signed up.

You *do not* have to sign-up, but if you choose to it will help us
with planning as the room we're scheduled to use can only hold a
certain number of people before beards start rubbing.

As this is our first time coordinating, the agenda is very loose
(Read: we have no speaker ;).  So come on down, meet up with your
fellow *nix enthusiasts and we'll see what we can get going for future
Manchester meetings.

[GNHLUG] Manchester GNHLUG Chapter (aka "ManchLUG") meeting on August 24th

2010-08-10 Thread kenta
Chip Marshall and I are co-coordinating a new GNHLUG chapter for
Manchester, NH.  To kick things off we're planning a meet.  So I
cordially invite you to join us two weeks from today to the first
meeting of the new "ManchLUG"

Location:
Wings Your Way
1181 Elm St.
Manchester, NH (Corner of Elm and Bridge)

Date: Tuesday, August 24, 2010
Time: 6:30 for casual pre-meeting drinks and food  7:00 for "official" meeting.

The agenda for this first meeting will be fairly loose. It will be
more a gathering of *nix hobbyists and enthusiasts than a formal
meeting with a set topic and speaker. We'll likely have a round table
discussion over beverages and work out topics for future meetings.

To facilitate and coordinate we've setup this event page:
http://manchlug.eventbrite.com

You do not have to sign-up for the event, but if you choose to it will
help us with planning.

Hope to see you in a few weeks.

Why not use fwcutter? I used it recently with Ubuntu 10 .04 on an
aging Dell laptop (I don't remember the model, but it was about an 2
inch thick brick of a laptop). It too had a Broadcomm chip based
wireless adapter and after an apt-get and hitting "OK" a few times
I was on 'net in under 5 minutes.

The alternative for broadcom's seems to be to setup NDISWRAPPER with
the windows driver which takes some additional time. If my memory
serves me correctly, a lot more of a hassle.

MerriLUG'ers we haven't met in a good long time. I remember having a

If any Nashua-area members want to assist me in putting together a MerriLUG

 Ideally, we should start with speakers.

Except when it's designed to not let you record content, but not enforced.
Which seems to be the case for Comcast's basic and extended basic channels
right now in our area.  It's unencrypted QAM... so record away.  Granted, as
Jarod mentioned, that may change in the future. :)

I'm in Nashua and currently using a Silicon Dust HDHomeRun to record shows
from Comcast Cable.  Currently all their Basic and Extended Basic channels
can be picked up unencrypted. However, as someone already mentioned they
could encrypt all the non-basic channels at some point in the future.

2009-09-16 Thread kenta
BarCampManchester is being held NEXT Saturday Sep. 26th from 9:30am to
4:30pm @ UNH Manchester.

I know a few gnhlug'ers attend every year.  Unfortunately this year I
wont be able to go as I'll be traveling. These user driven conferences
tend to be more fun with more people so the more the merrier I
suppose.

Here are a sampling of some topics which have already been pre-posted
to the website http://www.barcampmanchester.org/:

- How to be a closed source business that supports the open source community
- Immersive Environments: how to play when the computer is not a computer
- Code Secrets
- Web Analytics 101
- Understanding the Value of User Research, Usability Testing, and
Information Geek Survival Guide For Working With Corporate
Communications & Marketing Departments

As always, anyone can present, when you show up and register (no
charge) you can also write in your presentation topic for an available
slot in the day.

In the past there's been free swag and free food.  O'Reilly is listed
so there will likely be some freebie books with animals on them. In
past events there's been free coffee, soda, and also lunch (last year
was pizza).

I have no official affiliation with this event, but every year I've
been it's been a great way to spend the day amongst fellow technology
lovers, coders, and geeks.

If this is an in-house workstation, why not run the Lotus Notes client for

Tested here and this does what I'm looking for, and importantly works

Actually I need to get the info regardless of delimiters so matching
any hex digits of a certain length works for me.  I'd sent an e-mail

Displaying only data matching a pattern?

2009-02-02 Thread kenta
I've been working with some large files and need to extract a piece of
info, unfortunately there's a bunch of junk around the part that I
want.  Example:
foofoo:A1234567890B\barbar
foofoo:C9234567890E\barbar
foofoo:A8234567890B\barbar
foofoo:F7234567890D\barbar

What I had done the first pass to get what I wanted was to use sed and
do a  s/foofoo:// to get rid of the stuff in front, and then do the
same for the \barbar in the back.  However what would be easier for me
is if I could just extract the pattern of [a-fA-F0-9] when they appear
n times in a row. I couldn't seem to figure out if sed could display
only the part I wanted.  So I figured it'd be a better job for grep,
however It appears that it's printing the entire matching line and I
only want the match on the pattern to display.

Otherwise, I want as an end result:

A1234567890B
C9234567890E
A8234567890B
F7234567890D

Here's a caveat: I need to do this on a Windows box and am limited to
using the ports of  GNU utilities (using
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) otherwise I'd do this in perl and
wouldn't be asking :/   I'm thinking maybe I'm just missing something
simple here.

Any quick solutions?  My Google-fu is weak today.

Re: Brute-Force SSH Server Attacks Surge -- InformationWeek

I ended up with the following config...

Bind ssh to two ports: 22 and a non standard port

In my firewall rules I specifically allow certain IP's to connect to port
22.  These include my internal network (192.168) and a handful of IP's from
other hosts that I interact with on a regular basis.

Anyone can ssh to the non-standard point, but from what I've seen the
attempts are few and far far between since most people aren't looking for
it.   I used to get a handful or a few hundred handfuls of ssh login
failures when I was on just 22, now I get pretty much none.

I also use Comcast and my IP rarely changes. I think I may be on the same 
IP now for maybe a year and a half to two years.  The trick is... keep 
your equipment running. Generally I've found that the Comcast DHCP server 
pretty much respects the lease renewals as long as you're there.  Throw 
your router and cable modem on a UPS and just leave it be.

A cheap UPS will keep those two devices running for a long time.

Have you turned on the "Desktop Effects"?

Months ago I tried to get Beryl/Compiz effects working on my Edgy box with 
no luck.  This is an older desktop machine with an ati rv350 card. 
However after a few tweaks to the xorg.conf and following some 
instructions they are working just fine under Feisty. I'm impressed with 
the eye candy features that linux has to offer, especially since these 
days people are making their ooo's and A's regarding Vista's look 
and feel.


Rest of the features are nice. So far, everything works but I can't tell 
if a lot of it is because I'd already done a bunch of things to get them 
working under E.E.


I like the inclusion of the Banshee Music Player.  It's a music player I 
hadn't tried before.  Amarok was croaking previously when trying to 
enumerate all my music to build it's DB.  Songbird was incredibly slow. 
Some other players didn't have features I was looking for... like the 
ability to rate music, then create dynamic playlist (a.k.a "Smart 
Playlist") that will play music with a particular rating. Podcast support 
as well was a must-have.  Banshee appears to do it all.


My only gripe is that Hibernate is not working out of the box for some 
reason. Pushing the button says it will Hibernate my system however it 
doesn't.  I haven't researched yet why this isn't working.


Other than that, I'm happy with the Feisty install.  Upgrade was cake, 
effects are slick, and *almost* everything works.

Can I ask which 5200 series card you bought? I found two on newegg, but not
sure which one is preferred?


I purchased a MSI branded one:

Showing up today as 30.99 (maybe a few bucks for shipping).  This card 
uses an s-video out and does not come with an cable. I actually run 
s-video to composite because that's what I had laying around.  Quality is 
fine considering it's being displayed on a beat-up 27" TV.

even tried "SVIDEO").

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file Sorry in advance for the long data. Some
sections are commented out, showing what I have currently attemped to run
with also. However, all I get when I run with some of these other settings
is a blank screen. I am using a GeForce 3D Prophet III, which only allows
the display of EITHER svideo, or analog, dualview is not possible (and is
not being attempted).


I recently moved to a nvidia 5200 series card because of issues with my 
ati 9250. All I had to do was plugin the Svideo cable and on startup the 
machine booted and I could see it on the TV immediatenly (BIOS screen, 
etc). If your card can't display on both analong/dvi & svideo then unplug the 
regular monitor before turning on the machine, then maybe it'll detect the 
SVIDEO connection.  In my case xorg failed to start because of the ati 
driver so all I had to do was apt-get the nvidia driver, I reran 
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and picked the nividia driver, then ended 
up running "nvidia-xconfig".  Restarted and it booted right into my gnome 
desktop. My xorg.conf basically has:


Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync   30.0 - 70.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Monitor"Generic Monitor"
Option "UseEvents" "True"
DefaultDepth24
##Note: trimmed out the depths 1-16##
SubSection "Display"
Depth   24
Modes  "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection


Interestingly enough there were no config's specific to a TV-out that I 
could see, it just works and I'm plesantly surprised.   Added in the 
UseEvents line per Jared's recommendation.


Getting the 9250 working was a real pain.  First of all it wouldn't 
display right from the boot and would show a rolling, unreadable screen. 
If there was a bios error or error before X then I'd have to hook it up to 
a real monitor and/or ssh in (if possible). The 9250 also seemed to 
require very specific settings to get working. Moving to a geforce 5200 
was worth the 33 dollars :)


While I'm blabbing...  I just setup Democracy player 
(http://www.getdemocracy.com/) on the MythBox and it's working out as an 
excellent way to manage podcasts.  So it's a nice UI, but more importantly 
settings to say "Keep these podcasts for 1 month" or "6 weeks" or "1 week" 
etc.  So I let Democracy download and management how long I want to keep 
shows and set the data directory to dump into where "Watch Videos" is 
looking on mythtv.  Now I can get my Rocketboom, DL.TV, and diggnation fix 
without having to scp/rsync them from another box manually. woot!

Here's the text


Thanks for posting the text.  For everyone's benefit I've trimmed it down 
to a single framented sentence:



Or just buy a Mac.


I'm sure some of you are rolling your eyes and thinking "Ugh mac fanboy!" 
I really do like my linux machines. At my home they're like the red headed 
step children of the family. Here's why:


I have DVD burning issues. Once, when I was running an early SUSE 9.x 
release I was able to burn DVD's. Ever since moving to Ubuntu 
(Dapper/Breezy & now Edgy) the system wont recognize blanks.  Yanked the 
drive the other day and it burns fine under another OS. I have yet to 
really dive into why there is no love for the dvd burner. I may run 
cdrecord to see if I'm having a similar issue here as Paul, but at this 
moment I don't recall what error was coming up.


On the same machine I've tried to get beryl working to no avail. At one 
point I did get it loaded but it was absurdly slow so I don't count that 
as "working". Even without beryl I swear that gnome seems sluggish. The 
simple act of dragging a window around the screen isn't quite fluid. Tried 
both the 'ati' and 'fglrx' drivers with no noticable improvements. I'm 
starting to be an ATI hater so to top it off...


Upgraded my MythTV box to a newer ubuntu release and with the new release 
I'd tossed on the newest ATI drivers. Now mplayer no longer works 
correctly to display full screen video unless I use the -vo x11 option 
which results in some playback choppiness and inability to zoom/scale the 
video as it's playing :( However after some research I guess ATI is to 
blame due to some issues with their driver. Here's a word of advice for 
anything building a myth box and will be attempting to use composite or 
s-video out directly to their TV: Get a Nvidia-based card.

Has it smoked yet?

When I was working at UNH, we had about 30 Mag CRTs dispersed across
the labs I was working in.  A unit would fail about once per month.  A
few lost their magic smoke in the process.

Needless to say, I have a pretty low opinion of Mag Innovision at this 
point.


I've actually never had a problem with a Mag before. I was a big fan of 
them in the mid 90's, their primary annoyance being a loud audible click 
when changing modes although I don't they do that anymore.  My 21" Sun 
died last summer with a bang, literally, I think a cap exploded.  Since 
then I switched to this Mag and have had no issues or smoke.  However, 
this last black Friday I have since sprung for a 19" widescreen LCD which 
has more swankiness.

Hmmm, SERVFAIL is more than just a simple "not found", it means
"something is actively broken".  I have seen nameservers give that
response when you attempt to send a recursive query to a nameserver
configured to refuse connections or recursion.  But it can also
originate from a broken authoritative server or a lame delegation.


This happens the Carnivore server is broken, just call the ISP and request 
the FBI reboot the box or replace it with a simple linux box

Comcast has actually been pretty good to me.  To be honest I can't

I'd love to try Verzion's FiOS but they're not offering it in my part of

Re: Streaming media

2006-11-03 Thread kenta
I've used Apache::MP3 when i was looking into this for that band I am such 
a big fan of.  Of course due to bandwidth limitations from my host I 
never bothered to try it out for general consumption.


I still had the entry in my httpd.conf under my virtual host (locally, not 
on the main server).  Basically I added this:



   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler Apache::MP3
   PerlSetVar  AllowDownload no
   PerlSetVar  AllowStream   yes
   PerlSetVar  CheckStreamClient yes


Stick all the mp3's in the Directory and bam... No problems. 
Stream-o-matic.

Okay, this should be easier, I think I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to setup an internal streaming music server in our office.

I want it to take the MP3s from the server and then users can connect to that 
server via XMMS/WinAmp/iTunes and listen to tunes.


I would like to have different types of music for different streams.

I've setup icecast, but it requires something to send music to it, and I 
haven't found anything that "just works" from a command prompt to do this.

I try to see other people's perspectives, really, I do.  About the
only valid rationale for a change like this that I can come up with is
that this might be useful for somebody who uses a free webmail service
that doesn't offer extensive filtering.  Or maybe for somebody who
works for a company that has their desktop locked down and forces them
to use a crummy email client.


Since I suggested it I should probably explain why I suggested this 
change. It's very simple...  I perfer that mailing lists have the name of 
the list in the subject.  That's all.  I could adjust my mail client or 
maybe create a .procmailrc entry to :0: this into a different mbox, but I 
don't... I'm not into e-mail segregation and a quick glance of [listname] 
is just visual appealing and easy to do a quick mental sort.


So it would be stellar if we did it, and if we don't that's cool too.
