[SLUG] Boot issues with Ubuntu
Hi All Good to see so many faces at the meeting tonight I am running Karmic Koala and I went to boot up tonight after the meeting and it s coming up to the GNU GRUB Menu with a choice of Ubuntu's to boot into and when I boot into any of the non recovery ones it goes to the splash screen and hangs. Suggestions on how to get it to boot please Yours in Wellness Johannes Nielsen CEO BAMedia Wellness Marketing and Event Management ABN 32 710 132 20 bammeb...@gmail.com + 61 (0) 449 065 729 (Vodafone Cell Phone) ICQ 70972773 Skype fuzzy8561 Excellence in Service Provision http://bikedaddybike.blogspot.com/ On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 22:44, david da...@kenpro.com.au wrote: one of my servers has developed a habit of dying (3rd time in 3 weeks).

I didn't record the problem the first time it happened, but I recall it was a static screen with error messages. Each time the server dies the last log message before restart is a DHCP request, which may mean nothing at all. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (in the process of upgrading but it hasn't happened yet). Hard reboot gets it up again. thanks..

Re: [SLUG] Boot issues with Ubuntu
edit the line its trying to boot, go down to kernel (i think) and remove quiet and splash from the end of that line then boot it'll let you see what's going on at least.

[SLUG] yacc anybody?
G'day all I'm struggling with yacc. Any insight please ... This file and this grammar work perfectly: file [host] HVAL = hsomething ANOTHER = another Thing [notme] HVAL = nothing ANOTHER = not another Thing # comment - grammar %token DFLT %token KEY %token ID %token EQ %token STRING %token SLASH %% Sections : | Section Sections Section : KEY Lines | DFLT Lines Lines : | Line Lines Line: ID EQ arg arg : ID | STRING %% Now I'm trying to extend the grammar to include a non section line ie file VAL = something [host] HVAL = hsomething ANOTHER = another Thing [notme] HVAL = nothing ANOTHER = not another Thing # comment say by grammar ... Sections : | Section Sections | Lines And am struggling terribly ... [haycorn] /home/jam/getcfg [1995]% yacc -d getcfg.y conflicts: 3 shift/reduce, 2 reduce/reduce Anyhelp from anyone ... thanks James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

First, it is the convention to write iteration left recursively, as in Sections : /* empty */ | Sections Section ; This results in less depth in the parse stack, and in some cases (where rules are attached) results in a more-expected side-effect order (L2R rather than R2L). The second problem is that both Lines and Sections can be empty. This make the initial parse state ambiguous. Should it immediately reduce by the Sections: /* empty */ rule, or by the Lines: /* empty */ rule? Try this instead Sections : Lines | Sections section ; Now there is no empty Sections rule, and all ambiguity goes away... the file always starts with a (possibly empty) non-section set of lines. When it doubt, always read the y.output file, it will document how and where ambiguities occur in your grammar.

[SLUG] New abc.net.au URL for streaming audio?
Until last week, it was possible to access the streaming audio from Radio National with something like mplayer http://media3.abc.net.au/radionational This no longer works. I have spent a little time with tcpdump trying to understand the new URL without success. My bicycle commute will sadly lack my weekly goon show until I sort this out. Does anyone know how to access the new stream with mplayer or the like? -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

The following works for me: $ mplayer http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/windows/radio_national.asx The main problem is that they have moved to Akamai for their streaming. Why putting a voice recording was easier than setting up a HTTP redirect is quite beyond me. If playing Windows Media audio streams isn't adventurous enough, you can play the AAC+ stream with the following (which works at the time of writing): $ rtmpdump --live -r rtmp://cp112896.live.edgefcs.net/live/radio_national@40675 | mplayer - I got the RTMP URL by looking at: http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/rtmp/rtmpStreamPointer_rn.js Hope this helps!

In addition to the info in my previous e-mail, it looks like the ABC now has a bunch of Shoutcast AAC+ and MP3 streams. While I'd love to see Ogg Vorbis streams, you've got to give them some credit for doing something that's not completely DRM-only. http://www.abc.net.au/radio/listenlive.htm#directlinks In other news, the ABC is getting rid of their Real Media streaming. For such a tech savvy organisation, it's genuinely surprising that it's taken them this long to ditch Real. /me dreams for a future of Vorbis over RTSP over IPv6 -- P.S. Apologies for the misplaced linebreaks in my previous e-mail. Normally I try to use Evolution, which gives me a preformatted option which suppresses automatic linebreaks. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
