[PLUG] AT Topic? Patching Stagefright on Android?

I know little about Android - my wife has one, with enhanced texting intentionally turned off at her provider, making her less sensitive to the Stagefright vulnerability. What she really needs is a patched version of Android, which the upstream network provider (ATT) and the phone manufacturer (Motorola) will not provide for six-month-old phones. So - does anyone understand Android well enough to teach us how to update Androids, adding patches or new versions of the O.S., without bricking the phones or pissing off the providers? It would be nice to know how to do this. When the vulnerability becomes an exploit, and a billion Androids become useless, I would like to help a friend or two get their farts-moan back.

[PLUG] TONIGHT: August PLUG Advanced Topics: Using Mozilla's Heka project for log and event stream processing
Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting Announcement Who: Nathan Williams What: Using Mozilla's Heka project for log and event stream processing Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance) When: Tuesday, August 18th, 2015 at 7pm Why: The pursuit of technology freedom Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/ Talk: A Practical Introduction to Scalable Stream Processing with Heka and how the log and event processing system at Treehouse has evolved from a typical Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana setup into a Heka-based system. We will also discuss the why behind this move and where we are headed. Heka is an open source stream processing software system developed by Mozilla. Heka is a “Swiss Army Knife” type tool for data processing, useful for a wide variety of different tasks, such as: * Loading and parsing log files from a file system. * Accepting statsd type metrics data for aggregation and forwarding to upstream time series data stores such as graphite or InfluxDB. * Launching external processes to gather operational data from the local system. * Performing real time analysis, graphing, and anomaly detection on any data flowing through the Heka pipeline. * Shipping data from one location to another via the use of an external transport (such as AMQP) or directly (via TCP). * Delivering processed data to one or more persistent data stores. https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka Nathan is a sysadmin by trade who's been into Linux, automation and data for the last 10 years and is currently working at Treehouse as a systems developer.

[PLUG] Evolution has old folder which won't go away
I have an old folder associated with a now non-existent host. When I restored all of Evolution from backup into a new install on the new system, the pw for that old host is asked for. It is lost in the dustbin of history. How do I delete the old folder? Any useful messages in it were captured prior to the restore, so I just want to get rid of it, and so get rid of the pesky message asking for the pw. I suppose I could delete it the 12.04 system, uninstall and reinstall Evolution, then do the backup-restore over again, but I am trying to avoid all that. Thanks, -Denis ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I would like to be able to do this, but I fear the instructions would be over my head. Perhaps an intro to Android session as a precursor? ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
