[SLUG] Debian Lenny HAL Config
Hello, I have used Debian for over a decade and can work most things out. But I have a problem. I use a usb memory card to take a rsync backup of my most important files every day. This used to work perfectly. I recently upgraded from etch to lenny. After ironing out some wrinkles I am left with one insoluble problem: The usb memory card is always auto mounted with group ownership of root at the mount point. This stops me from refreshing the cards contents. In etch ownership after auomount would be chris:perry This is as expected and worked fine. In lenny ownership after automount is chris:root This is the problem. My primary group is still perry, btw. I have googled and searched far and wide, I cannot find posts that describe adequately how hal and then udev get themselves sorted and apply some action to perform the mount. I cannot work out where the action is defined in the system config. I cannot work anything out, I've not been so stumped in a long time. I have determined the following work-around to use after automount has completed: umount /media/TOSHIBA mkdir /media/TOSHIBA mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000,gid=1004 /dev/sdc1 /media/TOSHIBA I am not able to determine the output of mount for the same device in etch. My backup etch partition has passed on. If someone can point me at the right doco, or desribe how this works, I would appreciate it. Thanks and regards, Chris. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] [OT] Resource kit for implementing W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Hi everyone, I'm forwarding this on behalf of Scott Hollier. -- Forwarded message -- From: Scott Hollier Date: 31 March 2010 08:15 Hi everyone, My name is Scott Hollier, you may remember me as the vision impaired guy that gave an accessibility presentation to you towards the end of last year. Do you work for or with government? Did you know that the Federal government recently announced that all their websites will have to meet the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines by 2012 (for level A)? We're putting a free resource kit together to help implement these guidelines, and keen to find out how we can help and who needs to receive it. I'd really appreciate it if you can answer some questions to help us: - Are there accessibility standards or guidelines for government work or tenders currently? - How are websites maintained or developed currently? Is it usually in-house, contractors or outside agencies? Are there any suppliers that are used widely across departments? If you'd like to know more, provide any feedback or see our draft resource kit, please email me scott.holl...@mediaaccess.org.au. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Scott.
