Does Linux have a CMOS Setup Application, possibly from a LiveCD?
by Leo Mauler 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

I've got a PIII-1Ghz system which I'd like to use until it dies. Right now it works fine, except that the rear PS/2 ports seem not to work. This is a recent development, as the computer worked fine with a PS/2 keyboard and mouse up until I moved it from the basement office into the living room (I just acquired a used TV with a VGA port on the back). I'm using it right now to type this message because when the motherboard gets past the point where I can use CMOS Setup (pressing Del), the … [View More]

Want to tweak my system? (paying gig)
by Greg Brooks 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi all, I posted many weeks back about a server I've got that's incorrectly reporting available space. I'll spare everyone the rehash except to say: I'd like it fixed, and I'd like to pay one of you smart folks to do it. Scope: . SSH in . Figure out why a drive with 250 gb of space only shows 125gb or so . Figure out if it can be fixed non-destructively (i.e., without removing all the data on there now) . If it can be fixed non-destructively, make the fix Happy to pay via PayPal. Interested … [View More]

Trust able remote storage
by Arthur Pemberton 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Are you guys aware of any trusted remote solution, something I can setup a throttled rsync to with cron, that allows high end-to-end high encryption. I guess the only sensible place to do encryption at would be on my end. I've ready stories of people loosing their domain names due to having done business with Cuba (even people outside the USA) and my country of origin does business regularly in Cuba, so I'm also concerned about that aspect... although i guess that makes the criteria too tough. … [View More]

Linux users and wireless usage- Making a Googlemap of both Linux users and AP's
by Oren Beck 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

The shortest form of the question is this: Would you ever consider placing on a Googlemap either your site locations or at least the Zip code? That's the bedrock of the concept. And in addition would you ever consider posting a signal survey of wireless signal around your sites? Note that includeds could be home-work-other "nodes" you admin etc. The "why" is several reasons. It could show how many of us there are a bit more clearly. It could show areas to seek mesh net fill in spots or beams. … [View More]

Mesh networking. Do we have anyone on list with practical hands on experience?
by Oren Beck 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

I am planning to expand wifi coverage at my campground by using mesh or traditional repeaters. The total area is 40 acres. of which desired coverage is maybe 15 in a few strips. See the linked map for more information. http://www.campdownunder.com/map.php The major desired coverages are the green shaded ones. After that I can adjust as needed or requested. The 2 mesh projects I have been looking at seem to share some overlap in development. Meraki is likely old news here. ROBIN may not be. … [View More]

Website down Alternate URL http://kclug.com
by Billy Crook 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

The website is unavailable due to a DNS problem...again. This message probably won't go out until it's back up, but because there have been a few DNS problems in the past, there is now an alternate domain name for KCLUG, http://www.kclug.com and it is on different DNS servers, so it won't fail at the same time, as the .org domain, if at all.

Linux and Hauppauge Radio Tuner for Radio VCR?
by Leo Mauler 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

A friend of mine recently upgraded her TV tuner, and gave me her two older TV Tuners. Her oldest TV Tuner was one of the Hauppauge WinTV models which came with an FM Tuner. I was wondering if anyone has seen a "Radio VCR" project for Linux using an internal FM Tuner card. I am excited about the prospect of being able to schedule radio recordings, especially as an FM Tuner should surely be able to be changed internally to record from different stations automatically. I've done some scheduled … [View More]
