 Hi all,
 
 We are kicking of a series of pub meetings around the UK, starting in 
 three weeks in London. The list of venues we have proposed so far is here:
 http://ubuntu-uk.org/happy-hour/
 Along with a nice map that will update with the route as we stagger from 
 city to city. If there isn't a pub on the list near you then get back to 
 me with a pub name and postcode to add to the list. The order is not set 
 in stone, I want to rearrange it so they bounce about all over the place 
 so everyone gets one within reach every few months.
 
 The first meeting is on the 22nd September, that is three weeks from 
 now, at the Cask in Pimlico turn up any time from 7ish.
 
 You can optionally put your name down here so we have an idea of numbers 
 (the pub tweeted that they would set some tables aside for us)

May I offer the possibility of a location in Bracknell - South Hill
Park Atrium Bar (formerly 'Terrace' Bar). (It has nominal wifi which
is not good enough yet to advertise).

My thoughts are that although the bar itself is ok, and the outside
terrace is good too, the whole location - South Hill Park Arts Centre
complex (SHP) - is a community resource, at the upper end of the
culture scale.

So future possibilities may include Ogg Camp  or similar events??

The grounds are very pleasant, there is a small cinema (60 seats),
the Wilde theatre,  parking would normally be easy (builders clogging
it up just now) and free. I recently really enjoyed an exceptionally
good open air 'As You Like It' by the Globe company.

SHP has recently used Lottery funding for work around the exterior,
however, local funding past the next three years is in doubt, so there
is much blue sky thinking about the future.

Historically, SHP was a country house at one time owned I think,  by
the Ferranti family, and the BBC, and was part of the informal 'Nabobs
of Berkshire' culture, where wealthy people with associations with
India built grand properties around Berkshire.

[ubuntu-uk] IPv6 RA Not Working

2011-09-08 Thread Jon Farmer
Hi

I have a Cisco router on my network that is doing RA for IPv6
assignment. If I plug the ethernet cable into my Ubuntu 11.04 netbook
I get a IPv6 address assigned. If I plug the same cable into my
desktop machine also running 11.04 I get eth0: no IPv6 routers
present. Anyone got any ideas why it works in my netbook but not on
desktop machine?

Regards

Jon

 Sods law just got it working by enabling ufw. So anyone know why RA
 doesn't work if ufw is disabled but does work if ufw is enabled?

 I have IPV6=yes in /etc/default/ufw BTW


That's presumably the answer but I don't know why unless IPv6 support is
compiled into ufw. I don't have ufw running at all on either my desktop or
laptop (11.04) and it's set to no in /etc/default/ufw and IPv6 works fine.

FWIW I have radacct running on a Dreamplug running Ubuntu 9.04 with a Sixxs
tunnel and it just works. No help I know but I'm quite proud of it :)

  Apologies for asking again, the Samsung SCX-3205 driver does not work,

 I understand there are patches to modify the driver, but I'm not command

 Any help appreciated, thanks.

Have you followed the instructions here:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCX-3205W/XAA

especially:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/cups/model/samsung /usr/share/ppd/custom/samsung

BTW, I'm no Samsung printer expert.  Just trying to be helpful as no-one
else has replied to you.

But the answer doesn't make sense. You don't need to run ufw  to use IPv4 so
why would you need it to run IPv6?

I have native dual stack ADSL. I win :).
