Also recommend listing/checking: http://www.stolencomputers.org/ (site is still not encrypted (no https support), so - use unique, nontrivial password there (as anywhere), but definitely don't use that same password anywhere else). In general, also good to always check there when acquiring or potentially acquiring (or having found/acquired) a computer.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu Hour San Francisco & SF Bay Area [L]UG list(s)
Ubuntu Hour San Francisco & SF Bay Area [L]UG list(s) First of all: Ubuntu Hour San Francisco Does someone want to do a (better) cleanup of the relevant web pages, etc.? Most notably: Many of the pages imply this meeting happens every month. Now, having date/time/location pre-arranged for it 'n all is good, but ... with those meetings - especially in more recent years - much more commonly not actually happening than happening, the relevant web page(s). It's also good (and as was commonly done) *when* the meetings actually happened, to properly enter it as a Ubuntu event - and notably as an Ubuntu Hour event, and as a ubuntu-us-ca LoCo event - so it then automagically shows in all the right places for things that process and show those calendar events and specific categories thereof (some folks 'n things specifically watch for / display such). Also helps, likewise, to have the location on such on correct continent, country, state, ... again so it's properly found where it ought be (and not, e.g., event lacking continent, or global). To the extent feasible (and notably not excluding the Ubuntu event calendaring thingy stuff), there really ought be *one* authoritative place that says whether the meeting is happening - or at least that one can quickly and easily check if it's actually been scheduled 'n such. Heck, maybe it could even be coded to benefit the whole Ubuntu-US-CA team (e.g. if it's scheduled as both a Ubuntu-US-CA LoCo event, and an Ubuntu Hour event, have a persistent web page that automagically shows it on there if it's upcoming within say, month to 2 month's time). Anyway, single authoritative source often works better, lest there be conflicting information from multiple sources and questions as to which is authoritative. And sites / web pages? There isn't a Ubuntu Hour San Francisco web page ... though there are page*s* with such on it, so checking generally involves looking thorough many sources to try and determine definitively what the situation currently is regarding upcoming meeting actually scheduled or not. It would seem probably most logical primary place would be: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours And ... it even supports anchor tags ..., e.g.: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours#line-20 But, alas, that is not only not user-friendly anchor, but also not persistent for the relevant data (e.g. someone edits it, and the stuff at #line-20 is no longer the SF stuff). I mean, trying to determine definitively the current status, generally involves checking all of: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california/ http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours So, among other things, not having a persistent authoritative URL makes it much less user-friendly - and also less likely to get the information reasonably and clearly propagated. It also doesn't help that the Canonical/Ubuntu calendaring stuff doesn't (at least last I checked) have any way to schedule recurring events - which of course means for the event to be there, someone has to put it in there ... every ... single ... time. Someone want to code up something that could handle automatic recurring meetings being scheduled? Anyway, ideally might be something like a specific page, or persistent anchor on a specific page, and that could say something rough like ... when they occur, they're scheduled on the Nth Xday of the month, starting at and typically at (or near) ... and here are any upcoming ones that are scheduled . And secondly: SF Bay Area [L]UG list(s) There's this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups#SF (Hey, at least it has a persistent anchor tag!) Which is, unfortunately woefully out-of-date (and incomplete), and in it's present form will probably almost always be. Rather than try to maintain it as such (and have yet another different incomplete out-of-date list of such on The Internet), perhaps instead link to some better maintained more complete lists/resources, e.g.: http://linuxmafia.com/bale/ http://www.lugod.org/calendar/ http://www.svlug.org/farm.php#other-local https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups#SF https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=caj9iea2ol69b7n2uqdek4ocso%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles https://goo.gl/b9WY5k Might not look quite as "pretty" for the formatting on the page ... but I'd vote for functionality and accuracy over "pretty". Anyway, Ubuntu ... not my baby. Maybe some 'o y'all might want to take a crack at addressing and cleaning those up? I might be able to do some too, but it's very low on the priorities on my todo list (5921 lines long and growing - yes, it will never all get done - at least not by me). -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubun

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu San Diego Social Hour
From: "Philip Ballew" Subject: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu San Diego Social Hour Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:10:03 -0700 We are having an informal gathering of Ubuntu users and Linux lovers next week in San Diego. The event will take place Tuesday the 20th at 6pm, on the Starbucks on Sports Arena across from In-N-Out. This is the location we have met in the past. the topic of this meeting will be getting to know other Ubuntu people in the area, as well as find ways to grow the community. If you can make it, please RSVP on the Meetup page, so I know it's real. Can't wait to see all my fellow Ubuntu people there! https://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-California/events/234085250/ Does sounds rather like an Ubuntu event, California Ubuntu event, maybe even a loco event, and maybe even an "Ubuntu Hour". Y'all might want to list/note/update it on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours And the pages/stuff referenced/noted/suggested under there. Uhm, yeah, some 'o that stuff looks mighty out-of-date ...

Red Rock Cafe, 2nd floor ... but it's quite ambiguous about location ... is that San Diego, or SilconValley? Address and city would be good. More recent than 5 years ago would also be good.

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Internet slowdown
Yes, basic divide and conquer. Various ways to slice and dice it ... e.g. by function (Bandwidth? Latency? Connectivity? DNS?), location (segment(s) or portion(s) along the way), equipment (substitution of computer(s)/cable(s), connectivity location(s), etc. Essentially work to isolate what/where the problem is. Eventually one gets it narrowed to exactly what/where it is, at which point the fix is generally obvious, or one isolates it to so-and-so's or such-and-such's responsibility, and then they can fix their broken portion.

As a general practice, you want to engage in "bracketing" to try to isolate your networking problem. You know that you have a problem all the way out at the end computer in the lobby. Now you want to take a notebook computer to the "first place" you have an internet connection at the site. This is probably at the broadband modem or as close to the demarcation point as possible. Assuming you have an ethernet cable connecting from the broadband router to your switch, take a "known good" ethernet jumper cable and plug one end into the broadband modem (or dsl modem) and the other into your notebook. Test the internet connection from there. If bad or flaky or slow you then know to call the ISP. (Probably after rebooting all the electronics and testing again.) If good, then disconnect your notebook and connect the broadband modem to the switch. Pick a suitable port on the "LAN side" of the switch and test again. If good you probably know the switch is good. Perform another test on the port serving the lobby of the establishment to learn if maybe that particular port is bad but others are good. It sometimes happens that a port on the "LAN side" of the switch is bad, maybe just one out of N ports, and you can just plug the lobby line into a different (good) port. If the port serving the lobby has been good and tests good then you know you probably have a problem with the cabling between the switch and the lobby "technology outlet". And so on. Bracketing your testing to isolate what is good and what is not. There are, of course ways to use electronics to test and measure the quality of the ethernet cables installed in the building. It can sometimes be good to have all this testing and documented as a baseline for your records but maybe that's not affordable in this situation. Hope that helps.

What diagnostic tests can I run to isolate the slowness on this system? As most people on this list know, Partimus is volunteering for a low income housing shelter in here in SF. I have put in some quality legacy Lubuntu machines in the lobby for the residents to use. These machines all have Intel Core 2 duo chips with 2 GB of RAM and are running Lubuntu 14.04. I use a similar machine at home, and have no problems with it. This email is being written on such a machine at one of the other two homeless shelters. The residents routinely use these machines to watch YouTube video and use LibreOffice, etc., all without issue. The machines are proven good. This is the third shelter to which we have given machines. They don't have a budget for either the equipment or the tech support for these machines. Two of the three shelters have good speed on the Internet that goes to the machines. (The shelters provide the Internet service). However, the third shelter, called the Mentone, has slow Internet speeds in the lobby. I am not able to even do anything as basic as run sudo apt-get update, as the machine chokes on downloading the updates. The wiring is put in place by a company I will call the Maintenance Group (MG). I have called both the MG and the ISP. Both of them claim that they have no problems. The ISP says that they are providing the usual 2 Mbit / second that we expect here in the US for a configuration like this. The MG says that they have run a test on the wiring from the server to the lobby, and are not seeing any problems. The ISP is a good company that does not hate GNU-Linux. The ISP asked me to give them a speed test directly from the switch, which is located in the basement. So I ran speed tests in the basement and in the lobby, and was unable to get the speed test to work. Speed test has worked on this machine before. Here are the two results: Lobby, where the Lubuntu machine is to be located: cje@cje-ultralap440:~$ speedtest-cli Retrieving speedte
[Ubuntu-US-CA] Possible venue for San Francisco Ubuntu 16.04[.1] release party?
I hear/read that you're still looking for venue in San Francisco ... "Downtown". Though not quite "Downtown", but perhaps quite "close enough" (it's SOMA - and not a trek "across" town) - have you considered/asked: OpenLate @ OpenDNS (135 Bluxome St.) http://www.meetup.com/OpenLate/ I also notice they're still looking for "speaker" for their 2016-07-12 meeting. http://www.meetup.com/OpenLate/events/nfwxllyvkbqb/ (There's contact email address on that URL - but need to be logged in to meetup.com, and possibly also be "member" of OpenLate to see it - if you need the contact email, let me know and I can send it off-list). Their location isn't quite as convenient to BART/Mission/Market, but is a moderate/longish walk (or shortish bus hop) from, e.g. BART, and it is also pretty darn close to CalTrain. That 2016-07-12 date would, however, precede what I see as the release date for 16.04.1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule of 2016-07-21 - but I'm presuming that's only of minor concern? Oh, ... I haven't been to OpenLate in a while, but when I was last there they typically would provide free food & beverages (generally pizza and some house sodas and juices and such). OpenLate generally meets about every other Tuesday (it conflicts with about half of BALUG.org's meetings ... but doesn't conflict this July). It's a good space for presentations, power+network, and can accommodate a fair number of people (I'm guestimating up to approximately 50+). From: "Elizabeth K.

Ubuntu Hour Berkeley ... at least thus far, the series continues: Odd numbered months: 3rd Thursday 7:30pm-8:30pm Au Coquelet (has complimentary W-Fi) 2000 University Ave. Even numbered months: 2nd Sunday at noon to 1pm: Bobby G's Pizzeria (has complimentary W-Fi, and AC power available) 2072 University Ave. Though in all of 2015, other than myself, don't know that anyone specifically came to any of these Ubuntu Hour Berkeley events, specifically for Ubuntu Hour, as in all of 2015, other than yours truly (registered for and attended each), no one registered for these 2015 Ubuntu Hour Berkeley events, and I'm not aware that anyone came specifically for such (they are colocated with and overlap some other Berkeley [L]UG meetings). Shall we continue Ubuntu Hour Berkeley?

[Ubuntu-US-CA] qemu-kvm/libvirt/virsh & MTU ...
qemu-kvm/libvirt/virsh & MTU ... Question came up at Ubuntu Hour San Francisco (not sure if the OS in question was Ubuntu, or Debian (or ???), but in any case ...) Roughly paraphrasing scenario from memory - a guest Virtual Machine (VM) under qemu-kvm/libvirt/virsh, and I'm presuming (and from what I seem to recall) a relatively default network configuration (VM NATed on default bridge behind the physical hosting host's interface(s) to upstream network(s) (e.g. Internet or other larger network environment/infrastructure). The issue was described, at least very roughly, as highly poor throughput from(/to?) Internet - very slow performance and/or drops/stalls, etc. It was also noted the MTU on interface of VM, and MTU of the physical host's upstream network connectivity were different - if I recall correctly, lower for the upstream on physical host (perhaps through some VPN or tunnel or PPPoE or whatever). Anyway, there was slight bit of discussion regarding the MTUs, and I was guestimating (it turns out incorrectly), that one could probably tweak that for the default network/bridge device under qemu-kvm/libvirt/virsh, or if not there, perhaps on the, again default, built-in DHCP server on that subnet that qemu-kvm/libvirt/virsh sets up there by default. Seems I was incorrect on my guesses. Anyway, picking up from that point ... Looked into it a wee bit. I thought there was capability to configure MTU on the the qemu-kvm/libvirt/virsh default network bridge, which it creates by default. At least for the versions I'm running (on Debian stable), there appears to be no such configuration option there. It also uses its own built-in default DHCP server. Such can be specified via DHCP, but alas, that built-in DHCP server has no configuration option for MTU. What about on the bridge device itself? I didn't get so far as testing it out, but that looks rather interesting - and a bit counter intuitive compared to comparable physical switches and the like - have a peek here: https://joshua.hoblitt.com/rtfm/2014/05/dynamically_changing_the_mtu_of_a_linux_bridge_interface/ ... I haven't verified that information, and that may or may not be somewhat older versions, but, uhm, sounds at least "interesting", if it's in fact so (and still so). The other thing I was thinking about - PMTU - that generally *should* work, and the host should be able to figure out appropriate MTUs to use, depending upon IPs/routes it's communicating with. Unfortunately on The Internet, and across various networks, things can be broken with respect to PMTU - e.g. this at least used to be pretty common with older firewalls that were stupid and that rather than doing the proper RFC thing, were instead going, "Gee, I don't understand that flag, it might be an attack, I think I'll drop it" - and in the process they'd break PMTU (dumb, particularly older, firewalls, continue to break stuff across various networks - e.g. I've seen firewalls totally destroy TCP Selective ACKnowledgement (SACK), because they were randomizing (mangling) initial sequence numbers - using those generated by firewall rather than passing along those generated and used by client - and firewall altering them in the connection traffic thereafter, but the firewall didn't understand SACK, and hence weren't likewise making corresponding sequence number changes to SACK data, so the instant SACK came into play (got drop of a packet in your >=2 GiB TCP stream? Yes, probably), they'd totally hose the connection (yes, thinking one has a good secure firewall, when its OS or firmware is many years or more out of date with regard to patches and/or updates, is a dumb fallacy - got self-DoS? 8-O). Also, off-the-top-of-my-head, I'm not sure how PMTU does/doesn't (or fails to) work across NAT/SNAT and the like (I'm thinking it mostly doesn't? - but perhaps it also depends at least on part on what's doing the NAT/SNAT ... and how). Host also keeps tables of its PMTU data, so that can be inspected, and there are also tools to test and examine PMTU behavior - so one may be able to isolate issues in that regard, and make some relatively minimal changes where things may not be working properly (particularly if they're quite adversely impacting performance/throughput). As far as MTU being different on two closely associated networks/subnets, I'd think in theory that really shouldn't be an issue, as host should figure that out properly by PMTU, so that should effectively be a non-issue ... at least that's the theory. :-) Among other utilities, tracepath(8) and/or tracepath6(8) may be quite useful. Oh, also, for apt-get, if client and server are dual stack (IPv4 & IPv6), but IPv6 is broken or semi-broken or randomly broken between client and server, one can force apt-get to use IPv4 only " Add -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true when running apt-get. If you want to make the setting persistent just create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4 and put Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true"; in it. Config

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] All incoming ports blocked without iptables

I've tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to work. I really need help here! I'm willing to try anything at this point. I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 and have recently upgraded to the latest 3.13 kernel with security fixes. I rebooted the server after the kernel upgrade and now all ports are blocked. I get an immediate "connection refused." I've completely purged ufw, iptables, fail2ban and the Qemu packages just in case. I can get to the server with a rescue system and I can boot with KVM. When I boot this way, everything looks fine and the network seems normal. I can connect to port 22 on localhost just fine. When I reboot out of the rescue system, everything is again blocked. It's obviously something with the network, but I don't know what. Trying a 3.16 kernel made no difference. My daily cron jobs are running and Postfix is running, but it isn't getting any incoming mail. I restored my /etc/network/interfaces from a known good backup. I don't recall adding or changing anything related to bridges or routing. What else can I try? I would give more information but I don't know where else to look. I've removed or purged any recent packages which might have caused a problem. It was fine until I rebooted, but I really don't know what changed to cause the breakage.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Thanks: Re: Jigdo - ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.jigdo - 152 files could not be downloaded
Thanks, that helps. And with that, can (I'm presuming) rewrite the .jigdo file to use that. Can also just run through the "usual" procedure with jigdo, and also use that to generate the "missing" list (which I did earlier), then grab those (semi-)"manually" with wget or the like, then run jigdo again feeding it also location of those downloaded files to scan. "Of course" there's also zsync, rsync, bittorrent, etc., but typically if jigdo is feasible and available and I have quite recent similar (in this case already having 14.04 - and jigdo generally minimizes data I need to dowload), I'll typically update with jigdo (or zsync if jigdo can't be done), and after that, seed it to bittorrent. ... Anyway, have completed download+assembly+verification now, and now have also seeded bittorrent (I typically do that until I've uploaded 1x to 4x or more of the volume of data downloaded). From: "Geoffrey Thomas" Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Jigdo - ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.jigdo - 152 files could not be downloaded Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 18:36:45 -0800 (PST) Interesting. My speculation is that, while Ubuntu keeps the packages associated with the original release of trusty (14.04) in the "trusty" pocket and the current versions in the "trusty-updates" pocket, packages associated with 14.04.1 are in this weird no-man's land -- they're post-release updates, but they're also not the current versions. So nothing would be keeping them alive on the mirrors, since they're not in any pocket. All historical versions of Ubuntu binary packages are kept on Launchpad infrastructure: visiting a URL of the form https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/apport_2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2_all.deb will redirect you to a path inside https://launchpadlibrarian.net that has the file you want. I wonder if you can easily rewrite the .jigdo file to use static HTTP URLs of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/* instead of looking at a Debian mirror. -- Geoffrey Thomas https://ldpreload.com geo...@ldpreload.com On Fri, 19 Dec 2014, Michael Paoli wrote: Nice to have the jigdo file: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.jigdo But alas: $ jigdo-lite http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.jigd o ...

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Server 14.04 new VirtualHost -- [SOLVED]
So, wee relatively quick experiment ...
I tried Ubuntu Server first, figuring it probably already had Apache
installed by default, but it wants to install the operating system, no
readily apparent "Live" ("Try Ubuntu") mode, and don't have
Kubuntu 14.04 handy, but do have Ubnuntu 14.04 handy, but Apache ought
be quite similar enough on Ubuntu 14.04, and have that handy, so ...
I create virtual machine to run it on:
# virt-install --name=ubuntu1404amd64 \
--cdrom=/var/tmp/ISOs/ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso --nodisks \
--livecd --network=network=default --ram=1024 --wait=-1 \
--os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntuoneiric --virt-type kvm --hvm
...
Try Ubuntu
Ctrl-Alt-F1
And off to do rootly things ...
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cd / && exec sudo su -
I enable login on ttyS0 (serial port) ...
root@ubuntu:~# (cd /etc/init && cp -p tty1.conf ttyS0.conf &&
ttyS0.conf sed -e 's/tty1/ttyS0/g')
root@ubuntu:~# telinit q
root@ubuntu:~# start ttyS0
I then login via that (virtual machine) serial port (that makes saving

very handy and informative ...

And then we test:

So, notable Apache and related bits, in short, installed Apache,
edited /etc/apache2/apache2.conf so we also had this directory section:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
... we uncommented it, as it was otherwise already there (could have
also changed that /srv/ to /srv/www/ - but this was just quick
test/demo, so /srv/ was close enough).
Then we created:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/siteB.conf
based upon:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
And in it we set:
ServerName siteB
DocumentRoot /srv/www
We then symlinked it to
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/siteB.conf
We then created files to be able to test against:
/var/www/html/siteA.txt
/srv/www/siteB.txt
and added:
127.0.0.1 siteB
to:
/etc/hosts
(just test/demo, so we weren't going to bother with DNS)
We then reloaded the Apache server.
We then tested, using wget, showing we got our expected test files on
our expected sites, and also that those same files weren't present on
the sites where they weren't supposed to be present.
After that, we tear down our test - bring the host down, then get rid of
that virtual machine:
root@ubuntu:~# cd / && exec shutdown -h -P now
... and it's still running, Ubuntu displays on the console:
Please remove installation media and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER:
... so I hit ENTER on the console ...

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Failing/failed hard disk advice
0) Backup 0.1) test (at least statistically) backups 0.2) offsite backups & rotations thereof 1) Check if it's covered under warranty, if data isn't to be recovered or worth recovering from the drive, one may at least get the drive replaced, generally for not more than cost of shipping the drive to Seagate. You can check warranty status on-line by mfg. date, period may be longer based upon purchase date with proof of purchase. Might not be fast in replacement time, but often better than eating entire cost of replacing drive. Be sure to check Seagate's recommendations on testing/confirming issue, return procedures, etc. If it's sufficiently recent enough, store/vendor where purchased might even cover replacement. 1.1) Hard drives die, sometimes/often with zero advance warning. Specific manufacturer isn't the largest correlating factor - largest correlating factors are generally specific lots of specific models of drives from specific manufacturers. 2) If it's not under warranty, can do about whatever one wants with it to try to recover - at least if one's not too worried about getting the data back. 2.1) "External" hard drive - yeah, rather a misnomer. It's a(n internal) hard drive in an (external) enclosure with some type of interface. More options and/or information may be available interfacing directly to the hard drive itself - that's almost always the case for "modern" "external" hard drives, unless possibly where the interface is eSATA to a SATA drive (in which case the signals pass directly through). 3) Not really Ubuntu specific, but there are various tools that might possibly be useful - but really depends what kind of shape the drive is in. 4) Just because you can't access the data doesn't mean nobody else can. Was it securely encrypted? Does it need to be securely disposed of or wiped, even if not operational? 5) Can try various lists that may be more, e.g. Linux general (doesn't sound like Ubuntu issue) and/or more hardware-oriented. 6) Some the stories, etc. at BALUG today may be informative/useful http://www.balug.org/#Meetings-upcoming From: "Grant Bowman" Subject: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Failing/failed hard disk advice Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 00:00:08 -0700 My new friend who is trying Ubuntu with a disk from Lyz (thanks Lyz) just sent me an email. An external hard drive Seagate (1TB, model #: srd0sp0, newegg carries them for $79) with USB interface is not mounting automatically.

Jim, Do you have any more information on the approximate volume of text you're looking for for each group, e.g. min., max., and recommended sizes, to get things to fit reasonably well together, and look good overall? Anyway, (at least) draft information below. Others may also improve upon such and/or provide additional or better information. H, got wiki to assemble such on? - that might make putting 'em together a bit easier and more "self-serve". I figure Ubuntu Hour should probably get a mention, but probably too many separate ones to list them all, and many of them also change locations (semi-)regularly.

Generally one hour of informal Ubuntu and related discussion * Does your group have a web site?

What license(s) would you want added that would be most appropriate? Keep in mind *most* of the content is Copyright and/or Trademark by Canonical. I didn't "add" all that much to it - but still, ought to have suitable compatible license to cover that. Also, probably would be good to also have that information in the placard svg file itself - in reasonably readable form, but that wouldn't print out by default. Any particularly good ideas how to do that? (E.g. layer(s) of text not visible by default - or is there some better/best practice on how to do that for Inkscape svg file?)

I also reviewed and updated/corrected/clarified (and in some cases simplified) listings moved to that calendar (e.g. San Francisco Android User Group (sfandroid) (now?) meets last Tuesday, rather than 4th Tuesday of the month). Note that there are also other such San Francisco Bay Area Linux and/or Open Source related calendars, and lists, see, e.g.: http://bad.debian.net/list/2013-February/003536.html Ubuntu Hour Berkeley - new days/times/locations: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2013-May/002224.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours And, one might notice that has moderate overlap with: Berkeley Unix User Group (BUUG) http://www.buug.org/ and Berkeley Linux Users Group (BerkeleyLUG) http://www.berkeleylug.com/ as BUUG meets a total of 8 hours per 2 months, and BerkeleyLUG 12 hours per 2 months, that will have Ubuntu Hour Berkeley (1 hour per month) colocated with BUUG 1/8 of the BUUG time, and colocated with BerkeleyLUG 1/12 of the BerkeleyLUG meeting time. Anyway, I don't think BUUG or BerkeleyLUG will mind at all, and will give Ubuntu Hour Berkeley folks a place to go (and they can always spend more time at BUUG and/or BerkeleyLUG if they wish). And, for BUUG and/or BerkeleyLUG folks, that might want some more Ubuntu time or to meet some more Ubuntu oriented folks, it provides a specific time within where Ubuntu folks are quite specifically invited and encouraged to attend (not that they're discouraged at any other time, but if one is looking for a specific hour per month, rather than 4 or 6, there is also that). -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu 13(.04) problems/help?
Well, someone left me a voicemail message afternoon of 2013-04-26, but alas, didn't leave their phone number on my voicemail, and pretty sure I don't have their contact information. :-/ The scenario they described, was, at least approximately this: upgraded? (or maybe did an install?) to Ubuntu 13 (I presume 13.04), lost access to their files, downgraded? (to I presume 12.10 or 12.04.x) and still don't have access to their files/work from earlier. I think their apt configuration was set to follow the most current release (I think earlier it was already running 12.10). Well, hopefully they were upgrades/downgrades, and not fresh install, as fresh install, I think, by default, would clobber the existing files - possibly excepting what it might save or have saved on Ubuntu One, but I really don't know for sure on that, or what particular actions the user took in this case. Anyway, in such scenario, what I'd generally/typically recommend: boot from "recovery" media - in the case of Ubuntu and when one may be most familiar with Ubuntu (among Linux distributions) and may have that media, from the Live DVD/CD (or same on USB), and likely best to use the "highest" version one had upgraded or attempted to upgrade to (generally most likely to support whatever bits one may have ended up with on hard drive or SSD or the like). From there, if one hasn't clobbered the filesystem(s), they should be recoverable (the data should still be there). If not, depending upon the scenario and what happened, data there might still possibly be recoverable or partially recoverable, and/or, in case of Ubuntu, there may be such data stored on Ubuntu One. I can't easily give much more specific advice without knowing more about particularly what happened, or resultant state the data is in. I'm also thinking possibly there may have been upgrade/downgrade done, and there might be some (major) issues with application(s) user is expecting to have still access their data like it did before - so maybe the data is all still there, but just highly not as the user expects it, or accessed/found as (and where) the user expects it. But I'm just guessing among the possibilities. I'm also guessing if the user is person I talked to on 2013-04-06, that I did also mention SF-LUG (sf-lug.org) as a resource - most notably their list (relatively high volume e-mail list, and generally quite helpful on dealing with bugs/issues/problems encountered with Linux. And I suppose too, there are lots of relevant Ubuntu help forums and the like also - but at the time I was mentioning more specifically local resources. And, the reason I post this here, is I think that was from an earlier Ubuntu Hour, and the particular user might actually see this item here. -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Project: Letters to our Representatives --> ???
Perhaps something more approximating some select targeted press releases or similar? And in reasonably close coordination with Canonical (to, avoid, e.g. potential issues with inappropriate duplication of efforts or communications that may appear inconsistent or "conflicting"/confusing). Perhaps more of a selected targeting of getting the information wanted and of interest into the hands of those likely to be rather to quite interested in that information. I'm just guestimating that may be more effective - and better use of limited resources - than something that comes off like more of a "campaign", advocacy push, or sounds/feels like a "sales job". E.g. something like short press release about UDS and Ubuntu and that it's been announced and when and where it is, and some basic leads for additional information/contacts. And then probably a follow-up much closer to the event, to serve as "reminder", and hopefully also including some additional new interesting bit(s) so it's more than "just a redundant reminder". Maybe joint press release(s) from Canonical and Ubuntu California? Anyway, just my quick thoughts on the topic. references/excerpts: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2013-January/002139.html https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2013-January/002143.html et. seq. -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
