Re: [Alug] UEA Meeting booked.

Quick rationale: we're no longer able to use the Hive because it is booked for ballroom dancing on Sundays and most other Union House venues are taken up by Ents. Nelson Court Common Rooms are no worse for unloading (their small car park is a short walk away) and are at ground level. The downside is no network, unless someone is able to plug wireless kit into tsw's office, which is almost line-of-sight... -- MJR

Who knows about Diald ?
by barry＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Debian 2.2 - kernel 2.2.19 I have just tried to setup Diald without much luck. Having installed it I noticed that it tried to connect immediately after boot up. Why should it do this? I had changed the 'Connect' script to suit my requirements as per instructions and also the configuration file. I also noticed that rwhod was trying to contact the IP address (194.109.2.10) in the configuration file every 3 minutes. Is this IP address supposed to be a dummy address ? Am I supposed to change it ? When Chat was started there was an 'alarm' in the output after the modem initialisation although the script would go on to connect but the connection was almost immediately closed. I have now uninstalled it to prevent the very many rwhod messages in the log complaining that it couldn't contact 194.109.2.10. Has anyone installed it and got it working successfully? A few tips would be appreciated. Oh all right then, a lot of tips! Barry Samuels Professional Diald Dummy.

further to my earliersubmission re Progeny Debian I have just had another go at getting it in, (same result). I then went to Progeny's site and found that as of the 1st of October it isno longer being developed and the last was on sale until the 15th, those who bought a set with support will be supported until December. see: http://www.progeny.com/archive/debian/ John seago

Magazine duplicators don't know enough about Linux to actually test the discs they produce and will quite happily print many thousands of the things that should only be used as drinks coasters. The magazine, if they know about the problem, don't usually admit it, as it makes them look bad. I can only think of one case where replacements were issued. Even better are books with CDs in with them :-/ Buy your CDs from someone who a. knows enough to test them properly; b. is honest enough to replace duds. That concludes this public service broadcast. -- MJR

Well, you shouldn't be using anything less than the latest Navigator 4.7x as there are known exploits for the others. You could try Mozilla, but if they won't let you use Any Browser.... "None of my business, dear, but I suggest you try another bank." That said, I don't know if NW's works with Linux. I'm with co-op, but I think there's a listing in the uk.comp.os.linux FAQ. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?

Red Lodge: http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?gride=&gridn =&width=700&height=400&client=M6&db=hcgaz&scale=100000&coordsys=gb&overviewmap=ap&X=570000&Y=270000&multimap.x=340&multimap.y=189 Simon, although not many people have actually posted to say they can make the 4th nov, on IRC it was kind of assumed that that was the next meeting: personally I'd say go ahead and confirm and post the confirmation to the list. (I'll probably be the only person turning up and have to fork out twenty quid.....) Jenny

Never ever install distributions from magazine cover discs unless you're happy to fix breakages. Buy them from a recommended reseller.

Speaking of which, people claiming that <a href="/path/to/myscript?foo=bar&mine=mine">this</a> is valid HTML really gets up my nose. Then they claim that a browser which parses it correctly is broken. Grrrrrrrrr. -- MJR
