[Hampshire] scrounging a SATA HDD
Hi All Does anyone have a serviceable SATA HDD they no longer need (and will give away) please? Have been given a driveless box which it would be nice to recycle. Any speed or capacity would do to be honest. Thanks, and happy egg-hunting! -- Ed -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
Re: [Hampshire] Quick question
Just FYI, I have finished Distro File Stat which attempts to stat any file from the base distro of Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu Oneric Ocelot: http://opticalgarbage.com/cgi-bin/dfs.pl Probably useless for most of you but there it is :-) On 11 March 2012 12:03, Imran Chaudhry ichaud...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Andy. Oh well, I'll stick with just being able to stat any file from the base Ubuntu and Debian packages. That might be useful and if anything this project is a good way to renew my web Perl a little bit :-) On 10 March 2012 13:39, Andy Smith a...@strugglers.net wrote: Hello, On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 09:20:12AM +, James Courtier-Dutton wrote: apt-file search ssl-cert-snakeoil.key might have found it, but it does not. apt-file does not appear to be as useful as it used to be. It's because ssl-cert-snakeoil.key is a generated file, created by make-ssl-cert on the install of the ssl-cert package. apt-file has never indexed such files, to my knowledge. I'm not sure if there is a good way of working out this sort of thing, since the only place I can find ssl-cert-snakeoil.key referenced is in the post-install script of the ssl-cert package (/var/lib/dpkg/info/ssl-cert.postinst).

[Hampshire] Unity testing
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, If any of you are at a loose end this weekend and would like to make Unity better, we'd really appreciate some testing ahead of the next release. I made a little summary video to show how easy it is to get involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgL957zo5QM It's all detailed on this blog post from my colleague Nicholas. http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/04/unity-510-whats-new-and-call-for.html Testing like this is a super easy way to get involved and doesn't require any development skills at all. It's mostly just following some prepared instructions and reporting when it breaks :) Cheers, - -- Alan Pope Engineering Manager Canonical - Product Strategy +44 (0) 7973 620 164 alan.p...@canonical.com http://ubuntu.com/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPfzuUAAoJEMx6UFtfvV4weFUIAMcobxwIJUpJMq7AOfkWSL6u k+1QWjr6+q+S6wvd9WBaTpCZZDQZVkovzctocE7Gu2tf6i/Cf7bICPzAn4Mrd4BB QR45O7BZznC4yC/kyuB2WJbSbRrGMaPtLrUy0uaiU0HRBk437TIK6d8zYhND+3qR XuOFWj5VvCWyPxGHwYLRQ536ZMPwqtVFNA4ItHurABN+vEJsAtCTCcr5gAihAQIO P4Farqjr0UVjVc7cMwMcLkjZsBSffc0TLJPlb640ZL2mv6EOJXtaDLsBoXNTOXek vAsmIEfhItzRKcSPamrSzgbX9MFDm397q+c6jzmuBlEP4Kv0ajyqQT8h2XiYpaY= =3+s4 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
[Hampshire] Engineering / Hacking for Humanity
Hi Guys, I work at the University of Southampton and have been a long time linux user and a lurker on this mailinglist for some time.
