[LUAU] Open Source Pizza for Tuesday, July 17th - Eric Jeschke, Subaru Telescope, Hilo, HI
HOSEF is proud to present the following public lecture and presentation. Please join us. --==[ Use of open source technologies at Subaru Telescope ]==-- http://www.hosef.org/civicspace/opensourcepizza/july2007 http://www.cyberpizzahawaii.com Info: Tue, July 17 @ 5:50-7:30pm - University of Hawaii Manoa Campus: Marine Science Building Auditorium, Room 114 - $8 if you want pizza and drink Speaker: Eric Jeschke, Software Engineer, Subaru Telescope, Hilo, HI Subaru Telescope is a world class 8.2m telescope situated at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. The observatory (like many other institutions) is transitioning from costly proprietary systems to ones based on commodity+FOSS software. Eric will discuss the use of FOSS technologies at Subaru and other big island telescopes. He will also talk a little bit about the use of open source at big island schools. About the speaker: Eric Jeschke is software engineer at Subaru Telescope in Hilo. In the past he has also taught computer science at several universities, and been self-employed as a consultant. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University. Eric started the Big Island Linux Users Group in 2001. BILUG has been active in promoting the use of open source software, and in helping various schools make use of FOSS technologies. Other: Directions: on UH Campus take Dole turn north on East West Rd. – FIRST LEFT into unnamed access road to lot # 11 Mention to the guard that you are there for the Open Source Pizza presentation. ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau

[LUAU] Dealing with the Bleeding Edge
I made a mistake the other day by purchasing a motherboard with a brand new chipset (released in June). It is a Biostar TForce TF7025-M2. It is a socket AM2 board with an Nvidia 630a chipset, and integrated Nvidia 7025 graphics. It cames with Realtek NIC and some generic, built in sound. I like it for its support for 4 SATA devices, lots of USB ports, along with PS2 keyboard and mouse ports. It also accepts 4 gig. of RAM in 4 slots. I already had Debian installed, running a 2.6.21 kernel and Nvidia graphics, and decided to let it handle things. It didn't. It could only see one hard drive. The nv graphics driver wouldn't work, either. Networking worked, but streaming from the machine was erratic - lots of dropouts, regardless of the machine connecting to it. Grabbing a 2.6.22 kernel from sidux.com brought the second hard drive back, but network performance remained bad. For fun, I tried booting other distros. Ubuntu Feisty and PCLOS 2007 would boot, but failed to mount the very conventional, PATA DVD burner. Both dropped into a busybox shell within seconds of booting. Fedora 7's installer actually saw all the drives, so I decided, what the heck, and tried it. Everything worked, except the networking. It still had the same trouble. LSPCI has more occurrences of the word unknown than I would like (but that was true of Debian, as well). Eventually, I stuck in a Linksys NIC, and my problems went away. The last Fedora I had dealt with was version 5. 7 looks a lot prettier. Debian works better with a Sidux kernel than Fedora; Samba appears to work with fewer issues. Fedora's desktop is a lot prettier, though. If they would only use APT for RPM, I would be quite satisfied. ;) I suspect that six months from now Linux support will be a lot better. -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
