Linux Audio Developers Conference
by MJ Ray 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

This conference starts today and is available online as audio+webcam+IRC if you can't travel to Karlsruhe in time. There's an interesting-looking session at 12 noon tomorrow (assuming those are CET times) about debugging ALSA and Bob Ham talks at 15h. Maybe see you on IRC, if freenode doesn't free its nodes. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing

by Syd Hancock 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

I've been editing some alug meetings web pages which should be on the main site within the next day or two. I'd like to put some information about finding Nelson Court and what parking is nearby. There is map of the campus available as a PDF file but I haven't found it very helpful. Pleae can anyone who knows their way around UEA send me - or post here - some directions for finding Nelson Court and also what parking is nearby? Thanks Syd

Newbie and upgrade of RH7.2
by Iain Downie 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hi Folks, I'm a newbie to ALUG, and relatively new to Linux too, so excuse me if this is a trivial question. I web develop for a research charity in Thetford, and have inherited a legacy linux server which handles all our online data collection (Java etc. connected to Oracle on Unix). However, we face a bit of a problem in that we run Oracle 9i Application Server on Red Hat 7.2. When some small things went wrong (or at least we could not explain), we approached Oracle for support, only to be told that they had stopped supporting this combination. As we have Oracle Support for other elements, we decided that it would be worth it upgrading the Red Hat to RH Enterprise Linux ES (small to medium servers). This way we will get two types of support. Question: How easy is it to upgrade (or migrate) to this new version? Will it involve wiping drive and starting afresh? Will we need to re-install 9iAS and all our web apps? Or is it really easy and I'm getting flustered over nothing? Hope someone can provide some opinions/feedback. Cheers Iain

Kernel 2.6 rpm
by Nick Daniels 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hi I cannot download Kernel 2.6 as it is too big for my two hour cut off on my isp.(no resume). I have downloaded Kernel 2.6 RPM from Suse on a spare machine and everything seemed to work O.K. Yast autodetected my hardware and reconfigured it, every thing worked except the sound, although it reconised the soundcards I tried it was unable to configure them, it suggested the IRQ may be wrong. This is my first attempt to install a new kernel System Suse 9.0 pro 1.6 Ghz AMD Regards Nick Daniels

iptables & logs
by BenEBoy 24 Apr '04

24 Apr '04

Morning, I'm trying to track down an problem with my firewall (I'm trying to set up MASQ properly) and would like to log all traffic going through the firewall, whether it's dropped or not. Can someone tell me the appropriate command please? Secondly, I know it's simple, but I'll be damned if I can remember/find out how to do it. All the log entries from my firewall are going into /var/log/messages, but how can I set the 'puter up to put them in a file called /var/log/firewall? All the log entries start with 'FIREWALL'. cheers, BenE

What is being done to it? > What rooms do you normally use at UEA? Union House is fairly inaccessible ATM. No idea - don't know the place at all, sorry! Others do - where does ALUG usually meet? Syd

ALUG webmaster person/people: http://www.alug.org.uk/meetings/2004/ needs to be updated to reflect the current meeting plans. I assume Sunday 25th April has fallen by the wayside in favour of City Gate a week later. Also Sunday 27 June at UEA ought to be put in. /Kirsten
