HP laser printer
by Anthony Anson 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Connected new HP laser printer (Laserjet Professional P1100w) and Mint found it, knew what it was, installed it, and that was all. Turn it on and lights flash and then settle to a single continuous one, but I can't make it print: it just sits there sullenly. I clicked on 'troubleshoot' and this is the result: ______________________________________________________________________ # hplip.conf. Generated from hplip.conf.in by configure.

wireless broadband in Norfolk
by mick 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

All I know that some people on this list have poor (or even very poor) broadband connectivity. I have just discovered http://www.thinkingwisp.co.uk This company purports to offer wifi broadband over large parts of the county. Their offering looks expensive to me, but then I'm fortunate in having good connectivity at home. However, if you currently have problems then this /might/ be of interest. Note - I have no connection to this company, nor any commercial interest. (Nor do I know if the service is any good....)

SSH Wizardry needed
by Steve Engledow 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi folks, I'm in need of some wizardry. I have a machine at home that's connected to the telly so that the wife can use it for Skype (just bought a *really* nice HD webcam) and browsing etc (and I can use it for Steam ;) What I need is for it to ssh to my server when it boots and open a port there to its local sshd so that I can ssh into it whenever I need. I'm on an ISP that will change my IP address every now and then and I don't want to muck about with dyndns etc. so this is my preferred solution. I know how to do the ssh bit: ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 server What I don't know is how to make it do that when it boots - obviously when the wifi gets around to connecting - and to make it resilient to drop outs, i.e. reconnect if the connection is lost. Any ideas?

Owncloud install on a Pi
by Chris Walker 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

In an effort to have local storage of email addresses, calendars and the like, I've tried to setup Owncloud on a Raspberry Pi but it isn't working. Perhaps somebody can point out where I'm going wrong. Here's the story so far. The IP address of the Pi is set by DHCP with the address being fixed by the router at 192.168.1.27. Using a browser from this linux box, if I try to go to https://192.168.1.27 I get a 404 Not Found displayed. There are no errors immediately displayed in the /var/log/nginx/error.log If I then try going to https://192.168.1.27/owncloud I get the same error displayed still with nothing in the above log file. Logging into the Pi itself rather than going through ssh, I started up the Midori browser and tried to go to https://192.168.1.27/owncloud and I then get two entries in the log. They are as follows :- 2014/02/26 18:11:21 [error] 2221#0: *4 directory index of "/var/www/owncloud/" is forbidden, client: 192.168.1.27, server: cloud.wymondham.lan, request: "GET /owncloud/ HTTP/1.1", host: "192.168.1.27" 2014/02/26 18:11:21 [error] 2221#0: *4 open() "/var/www404" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.1.27, server: cloud.wymondham.lan, request: "GET /owncloud/ HTTP/1.1", host: "192.168.1.27" While I'm here, can I ask another query? In this file - /etc/nginx/sites-available/owncloud.vhost I've left this entry untouched but I need to ask if it's correct # Path to the root of your installation root /var/www/; The reason I ask is that there is an owncloud folder at /var/www/owncloud but it's empty. That makes me wonder if that's the main cause of all the problems.

It did for mine anyway (Ubuntu 12.04) Thanks - I'll bear that in mind if all else fails. -- Tony http://www.girolle.co.uk/

Shameless advert for python developers
by Steve Engledow 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi folks, I don't know about you, but I don't like recruitment emails that go to the list but I reckon I'm allowed as I'm a lugger and my job is linuxy and cool :) The company I work for, [Proxama][1], is looking for Django developers to join my quickly growing team of linux-wielding pythonistas. Basically, if you know your way around Python (even better if you know Django too), send me an email. Day-to-day, we write RESTful(ish) APIs going both out to third-party services and to our own mobile apps to provide a tasty platform for building mobile loyalty/payments apps. Our SaaS platform also has a web interface so if web development is your thing (it's not mine), that's good too. We use [ember.js][2] for the front-end; it's funky. Oh yeah, and you get a nice laptop which you can then install any distro you like on it. You can even use emacs if you really want to, you sicko.

anyone know anything about declude?
by mick 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Guys This mail could be considered off topic because it relates to email rather than FLOSS, but I value the opinions of list members so perhaps you will indulge me. A friend of mine insists that he sees spam email from .ru domains whenever he gets an email from me. Naturally I find this claim a little odd so I asked him to send me some details. He sent me the mail below. I think it is fairly clear that what he is seeing is backscatter from undeliverables where a spammer has used his email address as the (spoofed) sender. So far so predictable. However, the email he sent me includes a set of X headers inserted by an anti spam package called "Declude". One of those headers (X-Declude-Sender:) includes one of MY email address. My reading of the declude manual suggests that what should be shown here is HIS address (as the suspected sender). Can anyone suggests what may be going on here? If a spammer were using my email address as the spoofed sender I would expect to get the bounce message, not him. I have obfuscated both my friend's address and mine. I have also removed the "goo.gl" URL in the email because it was obviously hostile. The failed recipient address is the original, as are the IP addresses.
