Planet...
by Brett Parker 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Just to make everyone aware, due to planet planet no longer being maintained, I've actually moved the alug planet to using venus (for now), though I'm happy to take suggestions for other feed aggregators to use, I am considering using feedjack, if only because I'm more comfortable with using django than the current static generation system. Also, we should probably look at actually making a theme for moinmoin (which runs the main website: http://www.alug.org.uk/ and also something for the … [View More]

Network fun: wifi, powerlines and wires
by MJ Ray 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

So there's rather a lot of these BT Home Hubs around me. They are hopping all over the 2.4GHz band as they fail to avoid interfering with each other and every other router in the area. In short, it's messing up my wifi and any time I (or any other non-BT neighbour) move to a quieter channel, it starts the madness again as the BT hubs shuffle around - the Android phones cope most of the time, but the Linux laptops (one rtl8723ae, one I forget what) don't like it very much. Is there anything I … [View More]

Help with Setuid?
by Chris Walker 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Having changed my desktop OS to Magiea, I find that I can no longer gain access to my NAS box. Previously I had 4 lines in /etc/fstab describing the mounts and they worked fine. With the change of OS though has come this message whenever I try to access the NAS - 'This program is not installed setuid root - "user" CIFS mounts not supported'. I've read up online as much as I can but I'm no further forward in resolving the problem. Can somebody point me in the right direction please as I need … [View More]

KDE 4.1 problems
by Chris Walker 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

As part of my new install I am now using KDE 4.10 as the desktop. But it appears to have a problem retaining settings. If I switch off, when it comes back on, the konsole window for example is now full screen when it should be just a small window and similarly for something like a Solitaire game. But using the same DVD I used to install, I created another install inside VirtualBox and that doesn't exhibit the problem. I've been looking online at the KDE 4 pages but I can't get to the bottom of … [View More]
