John, Thanks very much the info. I know I have too little RAM on my present machine but I have the max. (4GiB) it will take. I will follow up those links. I plan to get a SDD for the OS so the whole thing is a lot faster.

[Hampshire] Advice on specs for a PC suitable for digital negative processing.
Having just read the similar thread about Gaming Machines can anyone recommend a machine suitable for photography? At present I use Darktable to get the most out of RAW files and I would like to use Digikam for general organising. I find my present machine is too slow if I have a lot of images to work on. It is several years old. It has to be Linux friendly of course. Up to about a £1000 limit. -- Clive -- 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] FTTC presentation
Adam, I am with TalkTalk and they now supply a Huawei HG635 Super Router that connects directly to the landline. It works okay, I get 40 Mbs but I am only 100m from the green box. The Wi-Fi is good and it has a USB 2.0 socket which I can use with a Raspberry Pi raspXBMC to show my photos. This may not help you as the router is specific to TalkTalk but Huawei may have something similar for general use.

[Hampshire] Re Spam from me.
Thanks for your replies. I have not had time yet to act on them in detail yet but just a few points. My mobile phone is a San Francisco running Android with a giffgaff SIM that uses O2 network I think. I use Linux Mint 16 on my desktop machine and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Sony laptop but as gmail is web mail I cannot see that this matters. Doing a google search I came across this web site:- http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/03/1-linux-servers-hit-by-malware-serving-tsunami-of-spam-and-exploits/ which states "10,000 Linux servers hit by malware serving tsunami of spam and exploits Two-year-old Windigo may also have infected kernel.org Linux developers ..." I do not know if this has any connection? I am off to change my gmail password and see if I can contact google about it.

[Hampshire] Router Port Scan
Over the last couple of weeks or so my router keeps sending me emails similar to the below:- "TCP Packet - Source:122.226.102.31 Destination:(my internet connection) - [PORT SCAN]" The source is different each time but sometimes with the same 3 starting starting blocks.

Re: [Hampshire] (OT) Nikon FM2 camera repair
Thanks Tony. I have had a quote from http://www.sendeancameras.co.uk/ of around £120 + VAT and approx. £ 100 + £33 per shutter blade again + VAT. from Camera Repair Workshop 9 Wharfside, Bletchley, Milton Keynes.

I had no problem setting up wi-fi. Printing and scanning worked fine. I would go for HP. My wife has an Epson SX425w to which I can print to over wi-fi but have not achieved scanning yet.

Thanks Freaky. They tried to sell me one of those in Comet but after Kodak took too long to take digital photography seriously I have kept away from their digital products. I am interested to hear your experience of this printer. The printer is mainly for my wife to use from 'Win 7' and a friend of hers recommended an Epson SX425W so I bought one. I had trouble at first getting it to work from Ubuntu 10.04 as the correct driver was not listed in the Printer Setup. However after I downloaded one from [1] it now works.

[Hampshire] Linux printer recommendations.
My HP Photosmart 3300 All-in-One series has given up with "Ink system failure" warning error code oxc18a0401. I have searched for this but none of the solutions have worked. The printer is quite old so it is time for a new one. My requirement is for wireless, Photocopying, reasonable Photo printing and running costs.

[Hampshire] GuruPlug help.
Is anybody going to this Saturday's BaB who can help me reinstall the software? It sort of works at the moment but with a few oddities. I would like to create a backup image of the existing setup and have thought of using dd to do this but the GurPlug does not appear to have a /dev/sda to create the image from.

Re: [Hampshire] GuruPlug no longer boots.
Thanks for that Jacqui, here is an update (ignore the pun). I have just tried "apt-get update" and shortly afterwards I get this message Archive directory '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing'. It then exits apt-get. With aptitude I get the same message but it waits longer before exiting. Yesterday after about a minute aptitude worked!! resolv.conf contains nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 Which it has got from my router, Google name server. A bit more info: I remembered yesterday I ran the script 'sh /etc/rc.local' so did it just now. The update has worked with aptitude though with some errors due to PGP problems. "Fetched 119kB in 2s (57.2kB/s) Reading package lists... Done W: GPG error: http://www.backports.org lenny-backports Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA W: GPG error: http://security.debian.org lenny/updates Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems" I have no idea why the script has to be run now, it was not necessary out of the box.

Re: [Hampshire] GuruPlug no longer boots.
Adam, thanks for that web address but as far as I know I have no way of viewing the boot process as I can only ssh in after it has booted. The plug is working now, after a fashion. I can connect to it and see attached storage devices but I am unable to do an "apt-get update" whereas I did this when I first received it. I have just tried "aptitude update" which also did not work at first but after about a minute it started to download about 16 Mb. so perhaps I did not wait long enough previously.

[Hampshire] SheevaPlugs and offshoots.
There has been some discussion lately about SheevaPlugs. Does anyone have any comments on using this device or their derivatives? Or better still willing to give a talk at the next Southampton BaB.

[Hampshire] Mounting external drive.
Hi everyone, I have a HDD in a caddy that I use to backup both Linux and Windows data. I seldom use Windows now but found I needed to retrieve some data from a backup. The external drive mounted okay in Windows and I performed an edit on a .jpg file but when I decided I did not want to save the changes on exiting the program a pop-up said the drive was not formated did I want to format it. I said NO. Now the drive will not mount in Windows or Linux.

[Hampshire] Wine tricks/tips please.
For some time I have been trying to get IBM ViaVoice 10 speech
recognition program working in Wine. After installing the latest
version of Wine (1.1.14), winecfg now offers ALSA as a choice for
audio. Using this I can set up the microphone and use the speech
training wizard. Great!! However when I try to start the program I get
the following errors:-
cl...@vaio:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ViaVoice/Bin$ wine speechbar.exe

You must be attached to a process to run this command.

The IBM splash screen appears and some time later a dialogue stating
"Your Operating System does not support voice commands for
menusUse your mouse"
"err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection ." appears 3 or 4 times in
the Wine bugs list for other programs. Do I have to wait till this
fixed or can anyone suggest anything else I might try?

I am not at the problematic laptop at the moment so will have to try this later. I have not used the ip command so will give it a go. Others are better qualified to tell you how to run these commands at start up but you could put the commands in a shell script which runs with just one command. In Ubuntu you can run commands from "Sessions and Start-up settings". I expect Debian is similar. You may find this useful [1] What is puzzling to me is that the wireless worked perfectly for about 1 1/2 years and appears to work with other routers! [1] http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 Phillip, Ubuntu uses the iwl3945 module for my wireless.

[Hampshire] Wireless problem.
I had the wireless networking on my laptop working properly at last Saturday's BaB. For some time I have not been able to get it to work with my router at home. Iwconfig shows all the correct values including the MAC address for the router however if I try to ping the router the result is "Destination Host Unreachable". I am using Ubuntu 8.04. It worked perfectly in the past. Running the laptop with Fedora 10 Live I can connect with no problem. Why can't I ping the router? Googling as usual shows others with the same fault but I have found no solution. Any pointers will be welcome. -- Clive Woodfine -- 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 --
