Re: [clug-talk] CUUG February 28, 2016 General Meeting - Raspberry Pi

2017-02-24 Thread Melvin Walters


Please Note: This message is about a CUUG  event not CLUG.

For those interested on the CLUG-talk list let me know if you find this 
confusing as I all ready got a comment from a new comer who was not 
really sure at first which club meeting he was attending?


Thanks

Dear members and friends of CUUG,

  What have people been doing lately with the Raspberry Pi other low 
cost machines?
Some issues people describe kick me back 40 years to problems we 
solved in the mid-1970s
when  PDP-8s were the micro kings and priced near the cost  of a 
pretty respectable car.


  Wasn't this the target machine for Brian Kernighan and Dennis 
Ritchie when first designing C?
i++; and i--; translated directly to to incm   and decm  
machine instructions.



PDP-8/E Specifications Word size12 bits
Maximum memory  32k words (8 4k banks)
Minimum instruction time1.2 microseconds
Add memory to accumulator   2.6 microseconds
12 x 12 multiply with 24 bit result 256.5 microseconds (subroutine)
12 x 12 multiply with 24 bit result 40 microseconds (with EAE option)
Operating Environment   0 to 55 C (32-130F)   10% to 90% Humidity
Power   <= 450 watts (varies with option cards)
Size (HeightxWidthxDepth)   10.5x19x24 inches
Weight  100 lbs total, 45 lbs power supply
Cost Minimum Configuration 4k memory 	$4490 installation included from 
DEC in 1974

  $53 per month for maintenance
Cost in configuration shown, excluding I/O devices
and third party boards  $14835 from DEC in 1974

Re: [clug-talk] CUUG February 28, 2016 General Meeting - Raspberry Pi

2017-02-26 Thread Melvin Walters


Topic: about CLUG-TALK LIST

Why be confused? Amount of time these emails have been sent has little 
to do with the issue really.


I approved it as a collaborative effort to see how it would work out. 
Sounded like a good idea at the time.


You and I are not confused because we know all about it being members of 
both clubs.


My question is not about people like us, but relating to those looking 
to join or get involved with the Calgary Linux Users Group. This is a 
signal to noise ratio problem.


CUUG events news emails could be better served by creating a new 
CLUG-LIST for those that want to sign up. Something like 
clug-at-cuug-events or similar may work?


This is my point of view at the moment looking at if from the point of C 
L U G talk and events moderator.


When some one walks in to the meeting and tells me "I'm new and showed 
up but was unsure of what club this meeting is for when he read the 
clug-talk list? Yes he wanted GNU/Linux.


It is not his fault because an intelligent, articulate person showed up. 
So that leave's the question of how we are using the media.
For everyone who speaks up there is a much greater number who leave and 
*hopefully* do not pass on their experience. (Part of Customer Service 101)


I see no other way to resolve this. If you can not see this it would 
seem this is a Calgary Linux Users Group problem and not your problem.


I would both like to keep up the communication between the two clubs and 
also keep mail list topics very pertinent and useful to our 
subscribers/members.


Comments from clug-talk subscribers are welcome on or off list.

Thanks in advance.

Mel

Let them know we can provide any server we have in inventory or we can 
build something in specific to them, they can come and tell me what kind 
they want/need
We always have nice servers in stock, and the super nice ones, those 
come every month or so...


I can give you an ip address on our netblock and you guys can configure 
it how you want


I'm always interested in meeting new people and chatting, maybe get them

   Hi Bojan,

   So sorry it's been too long getting back to you.

   There is an interested core group building and some are interested
   in the server side of things.

   How, or do you want to meet with them.

   Some of the names I have so far are Jacob, Tristan, Neil, and one other?

   Sorry for not having all the facts lined up for you.

   Jakob may show up first.


   I hope to communicate next week.

   Thanks for your interest in our Linux Club.

Re: [clug-talk] Tonight's CLUG Meeting - To All Those In Attendance (and to those who missed out ; -))

2017-01-04 Thread Melvin Walters


Yes, I concur.

Thanks to all who showed up, and I want to include Ralph who was out of 
town but wanted to attend.


That's a quorum plus one (8 + 1)

Just awesome, the broadband spectrum of personality and computer interest.

Thanks to all, and see you next meeting. More are welcome of course.

If there are no issues with the first Wednesday falling on the first of 
the month (Feb 1), then I will book a room for that day at the central 
library.


Feb 1st date sound OK?

Meeting date will go on clug.ca as soon as booked. Topics and direction 
will be directed by group by or before mid month. Refer to clug-talk 
(General) chats.


Thanks again,

Mel

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to have met everyone at the meeting tonight and I look
forward to attending the next one.

Lots of interesting conversations took place: from gaming on Linux
(Steam, Valve, PlayOnLinux), to distributions (Bodi, Fedora, Debian,
etc.), to bcache (for caching to an SSD), to new users and what draws
them to the GNU/Linux Operating System, to the GPL and finally to the
nature of what CLUG could become. All in only an hour and a half!

Keep the GNU/Linux Spirit Alive,
Jacob

Mailing lists have been too quite, but the meeting is still on (the room
was booked towards the beginning of the month).

No one has volunteered for a talk yet. The club reboot seems still in
progress, so I will be patient.

More updates to follow in the next few days before the meeting.

Welcome again to those showing up for the first time and those
returning to Linux for the last three meetings.

Place: Central Library

Meeting Place: Central Library, Basement Rm 1
Street address: 616 Macleod Trail S.E.
Calgary AB T2G 2M2   (refer to map below)
Subject: Linux – Back to some basics

Introduction to Linux, Beginner Stages of Linux Usage

Thanks Liam for your suggestion you posted on the list.

Linux Boot Process,
File System Hierarchy,
Installing Linux through USB/CD,
Basic Command Line,
package management using yum or apt-get etc,
Basic Trouble Shooting, etc.,
basic security,
dual booting from windows to linux,
basic shell scripting.
A good starting point to expand from.

Please Note: To comply with the terms of use we signed for room booking
with CPL, any lessons given by CLUG at the Central Library will be
given at no charge to the attendees.

Other possibilities can be discussed at the meeting in regards to other
suggested venues.

This is an exiting opportunity to build on ideas to make Linux the easy
to use tool for sane computing.

More progress is starting in support of club infrastructure, so we would 
like to start comparing notes

with your ideas again. It's time to hear your collaborative ideas again.

Together we can make this happen.

See you at the meeting on the second Wednesday, March 8th

Plus what Raptor Engineering planning with the Power8. Talos Secure 
Workstation (Wow what a difference from the XT PC!) Early adopters have 
to vote with their dollars before we will see a lower cost version made.


Controversy like the GNU/Linux -- ZFS mix/ No mix:

Canonical zfs is the FS for containers in Ubuntu 16.04
Proxmox (GPL3) ZFS on Linux

Re: [clug-talk] Regarding Beginner Classes

2017-04-08 Thread Melvin Walters

I think it's a great idea too.

When I get back to my computer later today I will expand on what our
venue at the Central Library is doing for us and welcome entertaining
new ideas.

I have run into a good resource that I will be tutoring and mentoring
with for these topics.

Sorry got to go for now.

If any one wants to meet let me know. I am not able to work much on
CLUG things till after July 5.
I would like to cancel and give them the room back if we are not going

No interest shown yet. Do I assume everyone is to busy?

I will cancel the room by Friday evening if I do not hear from you.

Is there enough interest for a July meeting? I booked a room for July

[clug-talk] Monthly Meeting -- June 7, 2017 (Calgary Linux Users Group)

2017-06-02 Thread Melvin Walters

Calgary Linux Users' Group
Monthly Meeting -- June 7, 2017

What is in it for you?

Learn more about membership benefits
More control over how you use your computer

Trust, Privacy and ease of use are being brought up or help
requested. It use to be somewhat manual to set up but I have only
started to look into this for more polished and modern applications.
Anyone still interested in help with installation or planning
lets talk. The main kind of install, would require the least risk is
a one blank hard drive install. (backups done or not needed) We can
not call it anything like an install fest yet.
Some possibilities: Linux Mint (3 flavors), Linux flavored
Solydxk rolling Debian LTS based on Stable, Debian Stretch for those up
to it. My virtualbox got to kernel v 4.9.0 with aptitude safe-upgrade
without seeming to break.
And three versions of Solus Linux including Gnome, others?

How easy has the Linux workstation/laptop become for personal and
networking use?

Last month, if you remeber, I showed something NOT to do for those
that noticed the kernel panic from booting an incompatible Multi-boot
Live-usb-boot.

Until you try it out in real life I do not see how to answer this. So
I plan to bring along a small example of my improved experience to
the meeting to show. Your mileage may very.

On top of this I will try out an advanced game demo that used to be
overly complicated to set up.

With so many hardware installs to play with I found ways to break
and fix booting up. Legacy mbr boots and GPT uEFI
To get there (OS and setup) I found I had to chose my path very
carefully to save on time.

My demonstration is using lesser hardware in the way of an older
laptop with only 4GB RAM but it is lighter to carry and does the job
ok ish :)

Flightgear has been around for quit a while and is becoming more
capable and polished. But in the past it was a bear to setup at all.
A demonstration will have to be a small subset of the possibilities
in the interest of time. But even difficult tasks are far easier to
accomplish now. My demo is based on one of the two modern
distributions that seem capable
The point is to show how much it has improved along with Linux
but I will not say ir is any easier to learn how to fly. For that you
will want to get qualified instruction unless all you are concerned
with is where do I reset the simulator?.

Public are welcome!

Yes it’s time to meet up.

Time for the individual, not just the group.
Public are welcome! Admission is free ($) Bring your own snacks.

Welcome back and thanks for your interest.

Topics:

Item 0)
Basics course. Have you noticed no one has yet offered to do it all for
us? No judgement here.

It will much more fun to pick our own interest points. And who knows
what we may find just trying things out for our selves?

Item 1A)
HUGO static web server. I see many interesting blogs on this and am
attracted to it for a number of reasons. Take note of it’s license.
Over a month ago I tried out HUGO the static website generator.  I am
revisiting  this topic because of the extra work and security concerns
with our WordPress setup. But mostly I want to have some fun.

I installed HUGO on a ubuntu based Solydxk 9 install using apt-get
install hugo. It worked.

For the demo I will be using a Solus Linux 3 install.

# snap install hugo

 # snap list

  Hugo is a static HTML and CSS website generator written in Go. It is
  optimized for speed, easy use and configurability. Hugo takes a
directory with content and templates and renders them into a full HTML

The demo is based on quick start.

https://gohugo.io/

I can see why developers say they have fun with this on their
workstation/laptop.

Item 1)
Is modern GNU/Linux becoming cool yet? How has the World been changing
and does it relate to Linux? Clubs? (might have to defer this for now?)

Item 2)
What ever happened to CLUG Reboot?

Things that have not been fully addressed yet: a) making individual
contributions easier to do on our own schedule and less time consuming.
b) redefining club not discussed or documented. c) change starts with
members willing to talk about this.

Item 3)
George Chase – Instructor, Information and Communications Technologies
Dept. has deferred his talk to the new year or later.

George proposed a demo mini-lab showing us how to set up your own
private internet on your LAN for fun and learning. Lets hope he can
find some time for us.

Also, tell us about your interests in Linux and GNU (free/libre)

Re: [clug-talk] Need driver for Sound

2017-11-07 Thread Melvin Walters

Hi Joe,
After searching online a while for your problems solution I could so
far only find reference to getting into BIOS by  F1 or DEL buttons on
boot. Multiple references to this fan speed sound card issues (for your
M/B) did not say anything about Linux settings even though settings
solved most all of my Linux sound problems in the past.
Some one else stated it worked perfect in Ubuntu after install.
So my point is I am not yet convinced it will end up being a Linux
settings issue but I would need to see the BIOS settings to see if that
would seem worth considering.
That's my hunch anyway. Questions:- What distribution/version are you
using?- Was a Linux Live boot able to run sound?
These are some tools I would consider trying.My personal observation is
any really Modern Distribution that is worth while gets it right most
of the time. Even so, weird things can trip us up.That looks like a
interesting mother board and I not had problems with Asus and Linux, so
this IS puzzling.

[clug-talk] Annual General Meeting -- June 20, 2018

2018-06-14 Thread Melvin Walters


Calgary Linux User Group
Connecting Linux and Open Source Enthusiasts

Annual General Meeting (AGM) June 20, 2018
May 21st, 2018
Important Annual General Meeting  scheduled!

June 13… It is only one week away from the AGM and there were minimal 
comments about elections so far.


Those new new to and revisiting GNU/Linux seem the fastest growing part 
of our group.


I would like to see information for computer fundamentals, followed by 
things specific to GNU/Linux.
What ever I contribute will likely be GPLv3 licensed and epub or other 
open formats to share freely.
The very nature of collaborative Linux is inclusive by nature so all are 
welcome.


We have seating for 40 people and we hope to end up with much more than 
a quorum.


===
Please note:

Additions to the club bank account signatory should happen as soon as 
the bank completes their paper

work from our May 31 Letter of direction.

In an effort to be thorough in research I find I have to back off 
somewhat for now. Other technical
volunteers stepping forward will be greatly appreciated. Otherwise 
things may take longer…. Interested

in GNU/Linux?

Do you only see the possibilities and not the limitations?

Now is a good time to get involved.

Re: [clug-talk] Regarding Beginner Classes

2018-05-26 Thread Melvin Walters

Hi Jose,

Thank you from starting this topic up again. It's come up many times before.
People are making very good suggestions and a general training or review 
of basics is in order.
If we are able to pass on the basic and very fundamental computer 
concepts that will put give everyone a big advantage.

A good foundation of fundamentals puts us in a better position for more 
advanced topics too.
Next meeting is June 20, but some may even chose to get involved before 
hand.
I am busy too but will see what I can do and when. Been teaching some on 
an individual basis.

When I get back to my computer later today I will expand on what our

I have run into a good resource that I will be tutoring and mentoring
with for these topics.

Sorry got to go for now.

No general meeting booked
No rooms were available (except Feb 14) and I thought CLUG would be no

Small groups still tend to be meeting more frequently than the once a

Re: [clug-talk] Linux Sucks

2018-12-31 Thread Melvin Walters

I agree with Robin's point but if  I may add some:
1/ I was never under the illusion our problems will be solved once so
we will be all done. It will takecontinued focus and effort by all
those involved. And awareness by us as to what is really going on.
2/ Whether a Company or individual; Only Integrity is Going to
Count.[A]
Shedding light for people to know what is going on is needed, and
public opinion will do the work. Notus. Stay positive, negativity will
not help our cause.
3/ Two examples of non or lesser bloatware. How about openBSD OS or
Solus Linux?De Raadt's openBSD is lean with the cruft thrown out for
security and 10 years ahead of the rest.I want to try it out more when
I can make time:)
I enjoy taking the boot fast and efficient Budgie Solus Linux Desktop
for a spin - stable-current 4.19.12-106that has been shared with other
open projects.
Also have enjoyed trying out Ubuntu-Budgie
So I try to stay balanced and keep smiling at least some of the time in
technology.
Well that's my less than a nickles worth. So I will hit send before
more proof reading.

[clug-talk] restic and borg backup both worth a careful look

2018-12-15 Thread Melvin Walters

Thanks Blair for being interested in these BSD licensed - block level 
deduplicating backup programs. I later found the documentation on Restic 
and noticed how similar it ran to Borg.
I just loved how fast and efficient Borg backup performed when I last 
tried it out few months ago.

Both have free(freedom) and commercial supported versions.
Did not see any GUI for free versions yet.

I found some links to the documentation.
Also a comparison a company made for themselves. Well worth a read.

Nov 12, 2017 - Borg and Restic are both deduplicating backup programs. 
... In other words, backups made with Borg or Restic are incremental in 
nature, but each archive/snapshot can be restored as if it

were a standalone, full backup.

At the CLUG Dec 12 meeting other topics were brought up, but maybe on

[clug-talk] February Calgary Linux Users Group Meeting -- Cloud

2018-12-25 Thread Melvin Walters


Calgary Linux Users Group Meeting

Date: February 6, 2019 — 5:45 to 7:30 PM
Place: Central Library 4-20F Meeting Room. (seating for 8)
Address: 800 3 Street SE, Calgary, AB T2G 2E7

Talk by Raymond Burkholder:
Build a mini open source cloud to monitor/manage a larger vmware based cloud

I have been thinking of doing a presentation on some work I've done:

Using SaltStack to build personal private clouds on bare metal. 
Through the presentation I can sprinkle sn$


* debian pxe boot files
* how I use Saltstack to custom build pxe boot files
* using iproute2 for kernel based network configurations
* using Open vSwitch for layer 2 switching
* using Free Range Routing for layer 3 route distribution with BGP, 
EVPN, anycast

* using LXC for containers (rather than docker)
* maybe some nftables configurations for basic security
* how redundancy and resiliency is built into the solution

This configuration was used to build a mini open source cloud to 
monitor/manage a larger vmware based cloud.

[clug-talk] Dec 5, 2018 -- Calgary Linux Users Group Meeting

2018-12-02 Thread Melvin Walters

Who would like to meetup Downtown and try out the New Modern Main
Calgary Public Library facilities?
They have 30 meeting rooms of various sizes so in future it could be
feasible to have multiple channels of interest going on at the same
time if desired? 
Rooms have to be booked by Calgary Public Library members who agree to
the CPLibrary and CLUG rules
Date: Dec 5, 2018  --  booked from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Place: Central Library 3-19C Meeting Room. (seating for 12 and wall
mount TV -HDMI cable)
Address:  800 3 Street SE, Calgary, AB T2G 2E7  just across 3rd street
SE, East & south of City Hall train station.
See Map below! zoom in for detail.
Getting there:
Calgary Transit seems the best way to get there.
Unless you have your own parking spot you may find may find the Parking
Authorities costs high in the downtown core. There is a drop off point
[map pin] and special needs elevator on the south east side via 8 Ave
SE, across from a small pay for lot. Also another larger parking lot
starting a block more to the east. 
Read any parking instructions  carefully and be prepared to pay. I
might be walking from outside the downtown area. Good exercise for me:)

cloud.
We were both concerned it to close to the holidays.

He has to drive in from out of town so Raymond would like to make it
worth while.
My also want to look at a bigger room depending on your response?

What do you think?

From: Raymond Burkholder

I have been thinking of doing a presentation on some work I've done:
Using SaltStack to build personal private clouds on bare metal.Through
the presentation I can sprinkle snippets of code from:
* debian pxe boot files* how I use Saltstack to custom build pxe boot
files* using iproute2 for kernel based network configurations* using
Open vSwitch for layer 2 switching* using Free Range Routing for layer
3 route distribution with BGP, EVPN, anycast* using LXC for containers
(rather than docker)* maybe some nftables configurations for basic
security* how redundancy and resiliency is built into the solution
This configuration was used to build a mini open source cloud to
monitor/manage a larger vmware based cloud.
My background can be found at https://blog.raymond.burkholder.net/

Re: [clug-talk] next meeting?

2019-03-05 Thread Melvin Walters


Welcome Steven,
Would you find it easy enough to meet at the Central Library?

I could see about booking a small room for 13/03/2019 6:15 till 7:30 PM 
that could hold up to 10 newly interested GNU/Linux.


We could talk and if I have time I could prepare a quick demonstration 
of an example OEM type install like POP!_OS.


The idea is just a look and play introduction for the fun of it.

If not, the following Wednesday might work too?

Topic: AI for beginners from a beginner – Open Source AI for
Generalists

Recently I saw a demo of AI technology that could count the number of
people in a security camera video feed.  I thought it was pretty cool
and started Googling “how did they do that?”. First I came across
scientific papers that require you to have an advanced math degree to
understand, but soon I stumbled across a whole other class of open
source projects that are pre-packaged and ready to go with zero
math.   If you can handle the level of complexity roughly equivalent to
compiling a Linux program from source, you can also start using
powerful AI today.

I’m sure it will be interesting to many of your members.

Besides buying the commercial version you can also try out a similar

My talk will strive to give you a feel for what starting out as
FreedomBox Pioneer could look like.

We will need to brush up on GnuGPG to create our own dynamic

Re: [clug-talk] file transfer

2019-05-17 Thread Melvin Walters

3. Another method
Using the GUI program Grsync may make the transfers easier if you want
whole directories in your home like:Documents   Desktop Downloa
ds ... etc.
This GUI has some built in ? help to show you how to get desired
results in source dir ( trailing / OR no trialing /
Probably not advisable to do the home directory itself because then the
hidden   directories of the fresh installed home would get
clobbered on the laptop hdd fresh install.
As far as hardware you may own would vary how many steps of grsync it
may take. Or just use USB stick to shuttle them in two steps (copy on,
copy off of usb stick)
Tip: try it first on a small amount of data directory  first. (and did
it do what you wanted)

Re: [clug-talk] The Cloud is Just Another Sun

2019-05-08 Thread Melvin Walters

Thanks for the interesting heads up on this topic. 
At our last CLUG meeting, by popular vote I ended up looking into an
own servers project to see how far they have got.
I was encouraged by what I've found so far. 
It is a neat design and pure Debian poject.Because of the timeliness of
this I will show how to drop a  FreedomBox Image on your own repurposed
hardware at our next meeting.

https://freedombox.org/
Pioneer edition box is the store bought version. (Sales Launched April
22) sold by Olimex

Our up coming meeting is May 15 -- 6:15 to 8:30 PM at the Nicholls

[clug-talk] clug-talk short on memory

2021-12-11 Thread Melvin Walters

Just to let you know. I discovered the CLUG mail list and web site have 
memory usage alarms that may have been causing issues.


When I can I will be seeking help from our provider but am dealing with 
higher priority items at this time.


Mel
