Re: [SLUG] making ip adress stick rather than DHCP

Ben, Daniel, I was about to give up on this, as, no matter what, it was starting dhclient on reboot and going to DHCP, anyhow, I thought I'd rename backup files by prefixing with '._' as so: ._ifcfg-eth0.bak ._ifcfg-eth0.dhcp so maybe it was looking at ifcfg-eth0.dhcp in preference to ifcfg-eth0 ? what's weird that the system was on 192.168.1.15 last week, and, I had to move to .5, it was only after the NIC crashed that it went to DHCP, after NIC was removed/re-inserted anyhow, thanks again -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Ok, so I guess now that it's for professionals there's no room for people like me, just regular people who used to be a part of the communtity. What are the goals of the community as you put it? What am I supposed to do? Not offer my services? Because I'm not a professional like you? Damn you, and damn the inspiration I had to be so obsequious as to offer my services. You can consider them withdrawn, so I will no longer suffer this kind of treatment. I made my offer in good faith, apparantly that's not good enough. So be it. I'll not trouble you with my services, and you can take the community wherever you will. Because apparantly you will take it. Good luck, and hope it works well for you.

Re: [SLUG] Re: [activities] Re: Discussion about SLUG meetings and format
Reply stripped. Andrew, I have to say that your reply was little to do with the direct offer of help. As a long term member of slug your reply does not represent my views in any way. Your reply seems at odds to Open Source principals talking of contractors, etc. (Yes we all have to eat but it is not the purpose of slug.) I understand the issue of rooms with the demise of progsoc at UTS. Slug should work together for a better proposal to a govt organisation, and I am open to helping with this. However my opinion is that the Google location is fine, Google does not interfere with the working of the group. Michael, I have gone to Google on the docks by catching a train to Town Hall and walking down. It really is not far. So public transport is not a problem really so long as you can walk a moderate distance. I cannot attend on Friday and a lot of the old members have moved states or are just too busy with life but stay with the list, so you might not know a lot of the people there. Regarding your help on the website. Technically there is a lot of help available for website, content is king and without a clearer indication of what you want to change then it is probably hard for the committee to see what your are proposing. What I have seen work is a mock up of something that everyone could comment on. Regardless whether this is accepted it is a good exercise for you.
