Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu RAID Management
Hi list, I'm configuring a server with software RAID and wondered if any of you have any ideas about monitoring the RAID array. Does anyone have any ideas about suitable applications for monitoring software RAID status under Ubuntu? Cheers Chris -- I think mdadm is the one automatically started when ubuntu detects a RAID setup , just edit /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to include your details and it'll inform you of any probs.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] BBC video and Firefox etc?
Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] BBC video and Firefox etc? alan c wrote: I have a love hate relationship with BBC stuff. I love having it available but hate it when things go wrong. I have just moved to a new machine with a sort of new install of 7.10 and have unfortunately reached a status of finding bbc/click video http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/default.stm is not now playing. Annoying because during the general setting up and installing stuff I need, bbc/click did work at one stage of the proceedings. I prefer to use firefox, mplayer, and as far as I can see things are almost working but not quite. a click on the 'watch now' button opens a mplayer plugin window, information text says it is 'buffering', then says it is connecting to a specific server, then buffering a specific rm stream and the progress bar appears to indicate the extent of buffering. It gets to approximately 10 or 15 percent and lingers, then, after a little more time, the status changes to 'Stopped', the progress bar replaced by the start, pause, stop buttons within the mplayer plugin window. It is as if mplayer plugin in firefox is not starting to display successfully. A similar sequence happens if I choose the 'launch in stand alone player' To preserve my sanity I am glad to have another machine with 7.10, which runs a similar configuration (successfully) as it always did, I am aware of = Add the medibuntu repo as per these instructions - this is so you can install the necessary codecs. http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer w32codecs = and I believe I have done these actions. however I was also, at an early stage, adding the packages (add/remove programs)(kubuntu if is makes a difference) kubuntu restricted extras, and ubuntu restricted extras (both desktops are on this machine). Later these were removed the same way during trouble shooting. Variously I have uninstalled mplayer and plugin, firefox, and manually deleted its config files, reinstalled I did not keep a close tally on all of it. Maybe I missed something. Anyhow, bbc click carries on doing, and not doing, the same things! I have also done some looking around in synaptic, removing anything I thought might be causing a problem. Ultimately I am possibly going to have to reinstall just to get a clean mplayer firefox bbc situation, however, it would be really great if I could find out what was going on and put it right! comments most welcomed Aah! progress of a sort. I have continued to follow suggestions and follow links fairly exhaustively, to no apparent success, (I am back with mplayer now also) until I started changing the Configure settings obtained by right clicking onto the video window inside the firefox mplayer plugin window when the window was active: mplayer-in configuration. The first field was seen to be empty, and I found that a setting option of gl (lower case GL) worked, I had also chosen Audio Output as alsa (it had not been this previously) I had also just previously followed advice in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540412 although the only item I believe helped me was the suggestion to examine and change the mplayer-in configuration. I am most grateful for responses, thank you, I will continue to follow them tomorrow, (I have to go just now). -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 All, One thing to remember, which may seem obvious, for new users or someone new to a certain process is to take it one step at a time (Duhhh you may say, but at least if something goes wrong you know which step has more than likely caused the problem!). Actually, I think this is probably at least as useful to power users, maybe more. One can get too involved in what were doing and be the opposite of down on the beginning of a book truck(LR trivia).

Original Message Subject: [man-lug] Richard Stallman talk - Manchester (1st May) Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:04:56 +0100 From: Paul Waring [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Please feel free to distribute this to other techy lists you may be on] Free of charge evening talk organised in association with the Manchester branches of the BCS and IET. 'Free Software in Ethics and Practice' - speaker: Richard Stallman Thursday 1st May, 2008 - Talk starts at 6:45pm (ends approx. 8:30pm) with refreshments from 6:15pm. Venue: Room D1, Renold Building, University of Manchester, Sackville Street, Manchester M1 3BB There is no need to book a place - just turn up on the night. Abstract: Richard Stallman will speak about the Free Software Movement, which campaigns for freedom so that computer users can cooperate to control their own computing activities. The Free Software Movement developed the GNU operating system, often erroneously referred to as Linux, specifically to establish these freedoms. About the speaker: Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or small. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer award, and the the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary doctorates. -- Paul Waring http://www.pwaring.com -- http://lists.manchester.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/man-lug ManLUG WWW Pages: http://www.manlug.mcc.ac.uk/ -- Tony Arnold, IT Security Coordinator, University of Manchester, IT Services Division, Kilburn Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL.

I can, however, drag files to the directory and open them. The directory appears to have permissions rwx r-x r-x.

Is it worth asking about this on Launchpad, or is that not the right place? MacJust in case anyone's interested, my searches revealed that a lot of people have trouble with getting permissions to work properly on cifs shares. I tried various suggestions for fixes: unmount the share and chmod the mount point 777 (no joy) create the credentials file with nano, to ensure the file ends with a blank line (no joy) use the 'noperm' options, thus: //serverIP/public /media/nas cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,noperm 0 0 Bingo! But what an awful solution, eh?! As it happens, I'm the only person logging on to this machine, so maybe it doesn't matter. But how do folk on shared systems deal with this?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Guidelines for the mailing list
And that was a top post. I'm going to stop spamming now. I know as being fairly new to mailing lists that there are rules that you should adhere to for everyones sake, but most web based email clients automatically set you up to write at the top. So i think it is important if you are new to read the ettique page posted. Top posting just makes it difficult to follow a thread you have not done so from the start, therefore it is helpful if people post new material below the message they are responding to. I know i have been a top poster but as you read or take part in longer and longer disscusions it becomes more obvious how it is needed. A couple of comments maybe but a disscussion like tonight, if no one top posts people can just pick the last subject of that name and read the whole disscusion from top to bottom. Also there is not using a diff subject name for a change of topic, but its all on the ubuntu ettique page. I know I am guilty also, but its not that its a big deal, it just makes life easier. especially if like a lot of us you subscribe to several, if not many, lists..
