Re: Linux in China?
There are a few problems with trying to get accurate Linux numbers: 1. Many Linux users dual-boot with Windows, so do they count as 1/2 a Linux user? Or do they get counted twice (once for Linux, once for Windows)? 2. Linux doesn't have any sales figures for home users (and even for many servers), unlike Mac OS X and Windows. 3. Many Linux users choose to mask or hide their online identities, either for anonymity or to get proper functionality from certain Internet Explorer-only websites. 4. Many Linux users have multiple computers (so does each computer owned count as a Linux user or is that one person a Linux user?). Perhaps we should create a massive [Chinese] spam campaign that installs a bot-net to infect with http://sourceforge.net/projects/statix/ and track Linux desktops? Our concept of the culture of China and linux use is based entirely upon our American consideration that every family (and individual) has a personal computer. In China, it's more common for only a small percentage of the upper middle class families to have ONE personal phone, smartphone or tablet. Computer *ownership* is now at about 4-5% of the worlds population. However with many social projects putting computers in villages in developing countries between 12-14% of the worlds population have access to a computer. Approx 3-5 % of the worlds population have internet access. To put this into context only about 25% of the worlds population sleep in their own bed at night and only about 30% of the worlds population are rich enough to have a bank account! China's Internet population is touted to be 415.6 million. This figure includes people who access the Web through Internet cafes or public computers and smartphones. Scientific and development based internet use (therefore much of Linux) is strictly controlled in China. W3Counter http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php has linux use as 1.8 %, of course that's not China.

This makes it hard to go to people like ISVs and argue there's a market for their software if they port it. That, in turn, reduces the number of people that can use Ubuntu because it doesn't support the software that they need.

Re: OT: Time for substantive change.
Ok, maybe I was not completely clear. To stay on point, my statement was not about whether it was valid or about who was doing what. My point was IF all 50 states decided to secede then who will stop them and I was drawing a contrast between the Civil War and what potentially is going on today. The Civil War was possible because there were states who seceded and there were states that stood with the Federal Government. This is a much different situation. IF and I say IF all 50 stated really decided to secede who can stop them? That was my point. I agree most people, to include myself, do not want to secede, however you must read between the lines. This is a warning to the Federal Government to get inline with the Constitution or further action will be taken.

Re: OT: Time for substantive change.
I'll second that. :) Take away my motivation/reward to do more than I need to and guess what... I'll stop. Health care is expensive mostly because of governmental regulations/bureaucracy. If I created a medical device that would magically cure cancer guess what my odds would be of getting it in the hands of a Doctor legally? Almost zero unless I had enough money to grease the way. If they wanted to make healthcare affordable they'd band all of the governmental agencies in the world that act as gatekeepers into one partnership and once a drug/device is in it's in for everywhere *and vice versa.* Our federal government somehow took the power that was supposed to reside in the states and the people using the commerce clause (and because they got away with it enough to make it 'normal'). They take money from one state and give it to another with strings attached to maintain their power... then of course if you look at our money itself it's not based on anything tangible and the Federal Govt can have the Federal reserve print money whenever they need more. I'd rather pay ALL of my taxes to AZ and let AZ decide how much it can give to the Federal Govt. Not that it'll ever happen.

Re: linux malware
Using antivirus software is recommended, however many desktop users will be surprised to learn that they are actually part of a botnet transmitting virus or other information.

Re: youtube-dl
Mine shows the same copyright test although the package I got this am from the ubuntu software center installed /var/cache/apt/archives/youtube-dl_2012.02.27-1_all.deb. I get the same result as Michael although I can certainly play the video directly from the link included in the command line. Mike, most programs have an option to display the version. According to the youtube-dl man page it should be -v but it does not work. It reacts as if you have provided wrong or insufficient parameters.

Re: youtube-dl
from the NEW item in the package: youtube-dl (2010.07.22-1) unstable; urgency=medium The upstream author has removed support for the -b (best format) and the -d (high def) command line options. The behavior now is to download the best quality for each video. If you experience a problem with youtube-dl downloading videos that are too large, you should consider using the --max-quality option to limit which format to use. The list of formats (in decreasing quality) can be found with: grep available_formats = /usr/bin/youtube-dl -- Rogério Brito rbr...@ime.usp.br Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:07:03 -0300 (END) so the error MAY be from too large a file for the coded transfer protocol.

Re: OT: Time for substantive change.
I've been watching this and a number of other issues unfold over that last 4 or 5 days. We definitely live in interesting times. I whole heatedly agree we need to fix our relationship with the federal government, and believe me I would love to secede, however I think it might be destructive in the end. My main concern is the US may be what is keeping the world from self destructing. If we break into 50 different countries, we lose that strength. For instance what happens to all the nukes we have all over the planet? What about our navy what happens to it? I propose the 50 states create an alliance to nullify anything the federal government does that is not constitutional. This is lawful and we have the right under the 10th Amendment. We can start by requiring all taxes sent to the federal government go through the states. The states should hold back 80% of it. I would guess everyone thinks the federal government is out of control. If we stand together we can do this. Remember the states created the federal government not the other way around. The 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I agree about this not being a place to discuss politics. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that this list is for the discussion of issues dealing with linux. Also no matter who you vote for, you'll end up with a collection of crooked politicians. Lists dedicated to discussing politics can easily be turned into a collection of flame wars. If you want to talk about politics, call Barry Young in the morning or Mike Broomhead in the afternoon. That's what they're paid for.

Re: OT: Time for substantive change.
Hi, This is OT topic by a lot. Please keep politics and religion off a tech blog, unless of course you want to be added to the ignore list and ALL your posts are tossed into the trash pile without being read. If I wanted to read about someone's personal politics I would go to one of the many sites on the internet for that special interest group. Please do the same.

Re: Hard Drive Recovery

Re: Spam control? (was RE: virus)
If spam is the problem, a better mail server can be the solution. Running your own mail server isn't nearly as complicated as it used to be. QmailToaster (http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com) with spamdyke is a very good combination. Spamdyke rejects 90+% of spam without even receiving (or scanning) the message. The sanesecurity extensions to clamav catch the lion's share of phishing attempts. With this setup, I get 1 spam per day.

Re: Cannot remove a widget
Thats too inefficient and will give a lot more output than you want. Since we already know the name of the package it came in, we can narrow down what files to look at greatly by doing: dpkg -L plasma-widgets-addons | grep -i timer That will simply list just the files in the package and then grep out anything that matched timer (case insensitive, just to cover our butts).

Re: Cannot remove a widget
For packaged items that you really want to make it go away and not come back you can do this: dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so For widgets, they will immediately disappear from the system, there is not need to reboot, or even so much as log out. That will add a diversion to the package system so that it moves the offending files out of the way that timer needs to run. The diversion will persist till you tell it to stop diverting the files, so new versions of the package will also have the timer files moved out of the way automagically and will not make the timer widget come back. To stop the diversion just run: dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop And everything will be as it was.

Re: Cannot remove a widget
Are you sure you are looking at the correct plasmoid? I just installed a widget and the one I installed shows an uninstall button when I hover the mouse over it. You can also do cashew - addwidgets - get new widgets - download new widgets Then under oder by select Installed. Everything you have installed should how up there with a coresponding uninstall button. While looking in the widgets list I noticed that I also have timer by Davide Bettio. But mine was installed via normal packages. I suspect you got yours the same way, so it's most likely another widget that you are trying to get rid of. If you really want to get rid of it you can uninstall the package kdeplasma-addons But be warned that it will also remove the following widgets: Binary Clock Black Board Bookmarks Bouncy Ball Bubblemon Calculator Character Selector Color Picker Comic Strip Dictionary Eyes Fifteen Puzzle File Watcher Fuzzy Clock Icon Tasks Incoming Message Knowledge Base Konqueror Profiles Konsole Profile LCD Weather Station Leave a Note Life Luna Magnifique Media Player Microblogging News Notes Now Playing OpenDesktop.org Community OpenDesktop.org Social News Paste Pastebin Picture Frame Plasmaboard Previewer Qalculate!

Re: Cannot remove a widget
Hmm, Yes it is the right one. But If read you correctly, you're saying it is a standard widget included on everyone's install. Correct? I added so many I may have confused it with one (I) added.

Re: OT: How to attach an image as a link?
Joe - you want to sent HTML email - embed (not attach) the image like any website and then add the link - make sure to add some javascript just for fun too (just kidding) make sure your email works in a text only world too - many, including myself consider HTML email an abomination/security problem and routinely have email servers strip that crap off at the front door - others dump the whole email into the spam box. it would be a shame to spend all this time designing the email, just to make it undeliverable - you might consider attaching your card as a vCard, that would be more useful.

vCard is the abbreviation for Virtual Business Card (.vcf file), the standard for creating and sharing contact information over the Internet. you can send a contact to another person by forwarding it in vCard format. A recipient who uses an email and personal information manager program that supports vCards, such as Entourage, can open the vCard and add the contact to his or her address book.

exactly, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard or, go to your contact manager (like evolution) in the address book select your own entry - right click and Save as vCard. Other apps may do same thing by way of export - before you attach it to your signature, look at it in a regular editor (vi gedit etc) and you will see that it is the kind of file that could be hand edited. at least for the first couple dozen once attached to your signature, or individual email, those getting your email will be able to easily save your contact information into their addressbook on a web page you would use a microformat called hCard to achieve the same level of automation - or better make your own FOAF entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCard vCards can also be expressed as QRcodes and many smart phones will do the smart thing with them. or look for ZBar to read them from your PC that reminds me - I should visit vistaprint soon - thx Ed On Sat, Nov 10, 2012 at 2:56 PM, Lisa Kachold lisakach...@obnosis.com wrote: vCard is the abbreviation for Virtual Business Card (.vcf file), the standard for creating and sharing contact information over the Internet. you can send a contact to another person by forwarding it in vCard format.

Re: HP locking up
Open the box again and check the cpu heat sink. If it is not getting very warm, it could be loose or poorly sealed with thermal material. That could make for intermittent heating problems. You might have to remove and remount the heat sink.

But here are a couple of questions that might yield a clue: 1. Has this machine sat unused and not plugged in for any length of time (could be the CMOS battery is dead/dieing)? I bought it in January and used it every day since then. When it was a windows box, I would have it running for several days at a time doing my usenet harvesting. 1. When the machine is locked up, can you do Ctrl-Alt-F2 and get a console (Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to the GUI)? I can't do anything with it. I can't get to a console. I can ping it when it's working normally, but when it locks up it doesn't respond to pings or anything else. When it locks up it stops everything. If I'm watching a movie on it when it locks up, the audio stops and the last frame is on the screen until I push the power button long enough for the machine to turn it off. I have it and the other box plugged into a netgear router. There's a light on the front of it for each computer that's plugged into it. When I download using this machine, it's light on the router blinks. When the machine locks up, it's light stops blinking. Also I opened it up and checked for dust bunnies. There was a little dust, but not enough to cause any problems. Today I opened a terminal and sensors -f. I get results that vary between 40 and 60F. I do believe I'm not getting an accurate reading because it's not that old in here. Also I shut the machine down and checked the heat sink for the processor. It wasn't even warm. 1. What, exactly, do you mean by locking up? More specifically, can you be sure that the machine is locked up or could it just be the display? One way to test that theory is to ssh into the machine from another machine and run some application that does updates like top or htop, or a looping script displaying the time every few seconds. If the machine seems to lock up but the remote machine still shows ongoing changes, then it is not the whole machine locking up.

I just got the beast rebooted after doing so. The progress indicator got to 44% when the bottom of the screen turned red and numbers started scrolling so fast they were a blur. So I'm guessing the several million errors it found before I rebooted it just might have something to do with it. So I'll send off for another stick of RAM.

Spam control? (was RE: virus)
Some time back I thought the best solution would be to form a co-op. Members of the co-op would run some sort of program to detect spammers, and then join together in a DOS attack on the spammer's MTA. Detection should be pretty easy, I'd think, with minimal false positives. When I thought of that, it wasn't illegal. It is now, so I've dropped thinking about it, but it would have reduced the spam. Of course, the collateral damage (to clueless users whose machines had been 0wn3d, as a minimum) would have been pretty high, and I'm not sure they would have been able to figure out why their systems broke down. Probably would have required a pretty big education program, as it were, to get people to either (1) stop using the primary virus propagator of the universe (I am, of course, referring to a certain operating system); (2) get off the internet; or, (3) keep their virus scanners up to date. Assuming, of course, that most spam comes from 0wn3d machines. Not sure that's a valid assumption. I've tried running that thing that keeps spammers busy trying to deliver the email (tarpit? I cannot remember - the idea is you keep telling unknown MTAs 'hold on a moment' for a while - say an hour or more, thus keeping their delivery rate low. I should mention that at home I run my own MTA, so it was an option for me. Anybody using their ISP's MTA (or gmail, or...) cannot do this). The problem is that you need a LOT of people running that for it to do much good in spam reduction overall, and I don't' know if it reduced mine (but it was satisfying to look at the headers and see that couple of hour delay). I finally gave up and just kept changing my email address (and I also used the spam detector in my email program).

RE: Spam control? (was RE: virus)
As I remember (but remember whose memory we are talking about :-) - I had 3 lists - those known to be spammers, those known to be ok, and anybody else. (Ok, so the 'anybody else' wasn't actually a LIST, it was anybody not in the first 2 lists) Known spammers got some huge delay (I think I finally ended up with 24 hours!), known safe senders got zero delay, and unknown got a few seconds (or maybe I made it zero, I don't remember). So non spammers got either zero or minimal delay. If I can remember, I'll see if I still have that config file somewhere, cause now you got me curious! I should mention that there IS one 'small' downside - if you get ALL your internet sockets tied up with spammers then you cannot receive (or send) email (or do anything else network-related until one of the sockets frees up). I don't think I ever hit that limit, but then I only do email for my family... Rusty -Original Message- Rusty, how did tarpit and that delay time effect non spam users?

That's an interesting response, however fraught with consequences. First year computer science students are often asked, as flow charting exercise, to model ethics in society. Golden Rule, Turn the Other Cheek, Hit Back with a Bigger Hammer, are all modeled into a virtual society. Interestingly in this exercise, which do you think was found to be most successful? Yes, it is Hit Back with a Bigger Hammer Of course, the only part that was not modeled was the consequences of the law, assuming that if there was no law available to resolve the problem, there would be no consequences. There are things that can be done with regards to various types of scammers: 1) These scams can be reported to various authorities: http://www.ripoffreport.com/directory/global-resorts-network.aspx http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/FBI_LocalOffices.php 2) Tracking via cookies Setting tracking cookies in response email can provide additional information related to the end source.
