external HDD
by Anthony Anson 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Just bought a portable hard drive enclosure and USB2 connection cable. The cable has two large USB connectors at one end - the second of which has a much shorter and skinnier cable; and a mini connector at the enclosure end. My not-very-portable storage of similar type, but big, has only one USB connector per end of its cable. I infer from this that the only one of the connectors at the pooter end should be (need be?) plugged in? The 500 GB HDD in the enclosure is SATA, as is the 160 GB … [View More]

Re: [ALUG] Hi

Thanks for the welcome, good to know there's quite a few linux users around. Mark, I rely almost entirely on Pro Tools, which of course only runs on windows (badly) or mac, or a hackintosh in my case. But there are certain things I do on one of my linux boxes, like more creative sound design, including csound and pure data. Ardour's saved the day a few times when I needed emergency Foley recordings and didn't have my proper rig with me. I think I'm away on the 2nd Nev, but if not I might see … [View More]

Ubuntu UPS
by Mark Rogers 31 May '15

31 May '15

I've had a Leibert UPS for a while and for some reason I decided today to plug the UPS cable in so I could get around to configuring NUT. However I noticed that without doing anything else, Ubuntu (15.04) was showing me a battery indicator (much as it would if this was a laptop). I removed power and it showed discharging, but not until a few minutes had passed. Similarly when restoring power it too several minutes to show charging. Any ideas where I can tweak this? I can't see any of the … [View More]

Mapping a local IP to a remote one
by Mark Rogers 29 May '15

29 May '15

I'm sure that if I could make a decent job of explaining what I mean I could Google for this but... My PC is (say) 192.168.1.10, and it can access a remote device (192.168.2.100) via a VPN. What I want to do is give my PC an extra IP address (eg 192.168.1.11) and map all network traffic to that IP address (on any port, and including broadcast traffic) to 192.168.2.100, and send any responses back. In doing so, any other PC on my LAN would be able to access the remote device as if it were … [View More]

Hi

Hi everyone, I'm a sound designer living and working in Norwich and London (I mainly do sound-post production for films/commercials) I've been using linux for a few years now, (since 2007 I think?) and recently I've built and maintain a server for our small company. Still consider myself a rookie but am trying to learn as much as I can during my spare time! Look forward to reading you all / meeting some of you at a local pub some day. Cheers, John -- John Cohen

git help
by Chris Walker 28 May '15

28 May '15

Can somebody help me with some git commands please? I have a git repo called https://github.com/tonercloud/beertent and which contains two projects, harbour-beertent and harbour-beerguide. But I want to split out harbour-beerguide into a separate repository and also if possible move harbour-beertent up a level so that beertent is empty and just leave that repo as harbour-beertent. I created a folder on my machine called beerguide_gitrepo/ and having looked at this page and run step 3 - https:/… [View More]
