Re:
For Linux based Desktop Virtualization i have had the most success with VirtualBox. You can even pass some 3d rendering on to the GPU and enable an overlay mode that makes windows blend into the Host OS more so it feels like Linux with bits of windows coming in. You can also look up some of the wine/IE implementations. There are some other options that are very solid, but this is my personal favorite combination. And if you want KDE KUbuntu is probably your best choice. I am a fan of Ubuntu's wide hardware compatibility with laptops. However it is easy enough to install the regular Ubuntu flavor and Install KDE over the top from a repo. there are times i do want to switch between the various Window Managers. Other Virtualization options i would suggest reading about is KVM/QMEU Note: IE under wine, is an option, but you will only get to IE 9 , as 10 and later require MSU based installers for the updates needed to run the IE installer. There is a bug open on this atm but i have not seen a resolution.

Re: [AZC] Linux-Based Web Kiosk
I personally am curious. I am not sure how automated i would make it off the cuff. Unfortunately my ideas would have a sharp learning curve because i would make webmin an alternate switchable admin interface. moving to something like puppet or chef i think would be a better long run solution for administration (which is what i would really have to learn to make use of). I also think that Debian might be a solid place to start. I think this is personally colored by my preference for Deb package management, and in this case I do not want to deal with any issues going back to Ubuntu changing something. Although if you wanted a supportable option they might be a good place to start. Looking at JeOS might be a good place to go, OpenSUSE stripped down to bare needs and then you build up what you want. and you have their stability. but for ease of maintenance looking for a distro that has your preferred management interface might be the best option.

The only reason that I didn't just reach for a server CD was that I was either behind extremely slow Internet, or didn't have access to it in the first place, and it's only slightly easier to go through the pain of hand creating a RAID from the desktop CD than it is to convert a non-RAIDed system to a RAID 1 afterwards. That being said, the Desktop install does fill the needs of the vast majority of users and gives them that pretty interface they they expect from a professional product. It would be nice if they would have the Desktop install fail over to a server/text style install if a graphical environment isn't able to start, or if you press a key while it's booting for those of us that would like a RAID setup or advanced install. I was pretty bummed/hostile toward the fact they stopped producing the alt desktop installer versions. As you say, the debian installer is about bulletproof whereas Ubuntu's desktop installer has always been a chronic basketcase for me to use. So commonly so, I never know if its just gross incompetence or broken by design. They really need to keep that as a fallback just in case ubiquity continues to suck perpetually. Case in point - I want to do raid. The live desktop doesn't include mdadm natively (it does at least cryptsetup and lvm tools now), but puts the package in the archive to use on the disk. Just flippin' install it by default and let users make the choice! I think I found doing so, even after installing to the raided set built in the desktop, I still had to chroot to the install and add the package to the installation, and rebuild the initrd before reboot lest I see an (initrd) prompt. Good thing grub setup didn't setup my efi properly and I didn't even get that far! Apparently the community needs to come together to figure out a standard around partitioning for EFI as well. Arch and Ubuntu seem to handle partitioning and expectations very differently - that was about 60% my constant issue, figuring out exactly what they wanted via trial and error. Either should work, but they explicitly refuse to work with each other's methods... Also how to make those pesky fat32 partitions redundant with mirrored disks... At least without efi, I could mdraid /boot, and don't want to deal with fakeraid bs. I have to mount the secondary efi as /boot/efi1 to setup an rsync cron to copy the files - at least grub install in the deb installer writes both entries to the efi bios loader should/when one fails.

Re: Off Topic Server recommendations
This is a somewhat risky combination to put on the same server. The reason being you now have your entire company exposed to the outside world. An option would be to use a VM solution on the bare metal and then you could separate your Services and even use different OS's for each based on needs. as for the server i would probably look at the Dell T110 and T320 as they are both for sale at 600 and under to start and can scale very nicely for a smaller business. and you can leverage Dell support and get replacement parts and materials quite fast.

Re: Computer Down Need Help!!
I have had very poor experience with the technical knowledge at fry's electronics. Data doctors is good but pricy. Some things you can try is pull all components except CPU and the rest the bios. If you get beeps your board is not 100% gone. The add one stick ram and video. If you still get beeps try another stick of ram. If you still get beeps but no post try an alternate graphics card or see about testing it in another machine. CPU fail rates are ridiculously low but not impossible. After that go round you can try pulling it along with everything else and give it one more try empty and see if there is a beep code. Then final step would be for try an alternate power supply.

Re: Linux on USB
There are a few ways to do this, from installing to the USB as if it were a hard drive. or setting up a livecd with persistence (this would pair well with a load to ram option for the livcd) just depends on how big a Thumb drive you have, and how much persistence you want.

Re: Thumb drive longevity (was RE: Linux on USB)
I shut of swap/virt mem on SSD's anyhow. then again i also put a large ish amount of memory in those machines for that purpose. Good read however. It explains some issues with gaming from an SSD and the issues inherent with it. and why it works better as an OS drive than game install drive. On Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 9:05 AM, Carruth, Rusty rusty.carr...@smarth.comwrote: Actually, for a single erase block on a thumb drive, its lifetime in Erase/Program cycles is more in the range of 100 to 3,000. Let me back up a bit and explain the structure and technology of flash. There are 2 kinds of flash (well, becoming 3 - I've not been watching TLC): SLC and MLC. MLC is 'multi-level-cell' which means storing more than 1 bit per cell. Nowadays it has come to mean storing 2 bits in each transistor charge well (or whatever they're called). SLC means 'single-level-cell', which means you store one and only 1 bit in each possible storage cell. (The technology here is basically storing some number of electrons in a place in the transistor such that you can read it back. A flash chip with 8G bytes of storage would have 8Gx8 storage cells for an SLC chip and 8Gx8/2 storage cells for an MLC chip - so you get twice the data in the same physical space, but then there are tradeoffs we'll get to here in a moment). (TLC means triple level cell, or 3 bits in each cell, but I'm not going to address that here) The chips themselves are arranged as some number of 'erase blocks', each containing some number of 'pages' (with some number of bytes in each page). For one of the SLC chips I know about ISTR that the erase block is 1 megabyte, and the page is 8K bytes. If those numbers are totally wrong, they are at least correct to an order of magnitude base 2. So my example (mythical) 8G chip above would have 8K erase blocks if so arranged. (I should have said 8Gbit not 8GByte, but let's ignore that for now and pretend they make 8GByte SLC chips) Now, the smallest 'thing' you can erase is an erase block. You are only supposed to write once to each page, and you are really supposed to write them in order (0 through n, start at zero and increment up by one). If you don't the reliability goes down. So the process of writing to a flash chip is to erase the erase block first, then start writing at page 0 of that erase block (8k at a time!) until you reach the end of the block. Then, if you want to re-write something you wrote, you have to write it somewhere else and keep track of where you put that thing, and that the copy in the first erase block is old and shouldn't be used. You MAY have to copy the entire erase block somewhere else just to write 512 bytes of data! So to write a single 'sector' (512 bytes) to an SSD could result in an entire megabyte being written to a flash chip! (Now, let me first say that a well-designed SSD or thumb drive isn't usually THAT bad, but generally a single sector written to a flash drive results in more than one sector getting written to the flash. This is called write amplification, and I've glossed over MUCH, including how much certain companies (ahem) go to to minimize that number). Ok, back to the whole point. Generally an SLC erase block can be erased and written to on the order of 100,000 to 300,000 times before its failure rate goes up (or it fails completely). MLC (2-bits per cell) is on the order of 500 to 3,000. Your thumb drives are made of this. Most consumer-grade SSDs are also. (A side note - TLC (THREE bits per cell!) is even worse on this) I should mention in passing 'overprovisioning'. This is where some percentage (often 7%) of the flash is kept back from the available user-visible space. For example, if a drive had 128GB worth of flash, only 100GB would be available when you look at the 'fdisk' output for that drive. This allows the drive to last longer and do 'wear levelling'. (You obviously have to have at least 1 erase block that you don't assign to the user because you have to have somewhere to write this new data which replaces the old data) Oh, by the way, with today's geometry I understand that the difference between a zero and a one (SLC!) is around 100 ELECTRONS! It is 1/4 of that for MLC (since there are 4 values to be stored in the cell, not just 2). So at one level (and with many assumptions and simplifications such that I could be off by as much as a factor of 4, but not usually in your favor), if you have written 1,000 times the disk capacity to the drive (so if you have a 1GB drive and you write 1,000GB to it (regardless of location)) then you have probably come close to having performed 1,000 program and erase cycles on each erase block. The 'good news' is that that 300,000 number for SLC (and 3,000 for MLC) is not where ALL the erase blocks go bad. You've got some life left in those chips, but you are on the way to total failure at some point in the future. Scary stuff,

well if you have root, busybox, and adb you can use terminal commands on any partition you want. In addition i think clockwork recovery has some partitioning tools also. there is also android partition manager looks like you can push images with it. and Diskinfo looks useful for gathering information.

Re: Computer Down Need Help!!
Intel support is freaking amazing from my experiences with them, so is EVGA and Thermaltake. but i haven't talked to thermaltake in some time. On Sun, May 4, 2014 at 4:54 PM, AZ Pete p...@cactusfamily.com wrote: Hi All, I thought I'd report back with the resolution to this mess. First of all, thanks to all the helpful suggestions. My power supply was in fact bad. My power supply was under warranty, but Seasonic doesn't offer advanced shipping so, I had to buy a replacement from Fry's during the shipping of my defective one back to Seasonic. When I installed the new power supply I bought from Fry's, this led me to discover that my Intel mother board was bad. This particular board has a post test card built into it and the hex codes weren't even being display ed. The board was still under the 3 year warranty (by a couple months). I called Intel and they advanced shipped me a replacement. After I installed the new mother board, the onboard diagnostics indicated that the CPU was defective. I again called Intel since the CPU was also still under warranty. Again, Intel advanced shipped me a replacement CPU. After I installed the new CPU, the system booted back to Windows 7. Whoo whoo! After getting back to normal, I also discovered that my DVD burner was also blown out. No big deal since I hardly use it, but I have one on order from Newegg. I have to admit that Intel was very good at handling my warranty support and didn't give me the run around in any way. However, I did have to pay $25 to advance ship each part overnight, otherwise it would have taken several days for each item. The Seasonic power supply, while a great product, had very poor customer service. I wouldn't recommend Seasonic power supplies due to their very poor customer support (no advanced shipping and email only support which took several days for them to respond to). It was a nightmare couple of weeks, but I'm back to where I was. I'm so glad I had absolutely no data loss (however, I do run my drives in a RAID 1 mirror and take daily and weekly backups). I've been in IT a long(!) time and the last time I saw this kind of cascade hardware failure on a PC was in the 486 days! Thanks!

Re: hyperthreading....
First Gen Hyperthreading was interesting but the processors and corresponding front side bus's did not have enough bandwidth to utilize the technology correctly. the current rendition has far more bandwidth available and it is far more useful. In working with linux it is much better at using hyperthreading then windows is, due to its natural handling of parallel multitasking. I would suggest you enable it for more modern hardware (Core i series ect), but on really old school systems i would enable it if you have lots of little processes or a large process with a number of little processes on the side. On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 9:25 AM, Carruth, Rusty rusty.carr...@smarth.comwrote: In my past experience, I had noticed that the BOGOMIPS reported on (each of the) hyperthreading enabled CPUs was half that of the same CPU with hyperthreading turned off. Which made me believe that the 2 CPUs were effectively half the speed of the single one. (That is, if single is 2 bogomips, then hyperthreaded it was 1 bogomips on each CPU). Since I knew that Linux did a good job of true multitasking, I always turned it off (assuming that part of the impetus for the whole thing was that Windows did a TERRIBLE job of true multitasking (remember trying to do ANYTHING else while doing a floppy format? Yeah, I thought you did J) so that windows could tie up one of the 'CPUs' doing a floppy format (or whatever) and still look responsive to the GUI using the other 'CPU'. So, I have to ask a few questions: 1 - does that slow 1.2GHz (SLOW? 1.2G? Wow, how times have changed!) play back fine with hyperthreading turned off? 2 - if XBMC gives a 20% performance boost on a CPU that is running at half the speed, is that really a performance boost overall?

Through some well documented voodoo it increases paralization for some work loads. Available on many Pentium systems since the Pentium 4 but also requires comparable chipsets so some early systems had processors that supported it but still could not use it.

You should also have hyperthreading turned on in the BIOS, so the system will see two CPU cores, as XMBC will take advantage of that for maybe a 20% performance boost.

Re: Cox Data Usage Notification
I was getting these monthly while on premier. But i have about 6 people at any given time pulling data, Gaming, Streaming video, ect. so i would pop my cap pretty readily, pushing upwards of 450GB/month. If your router/firewall supports it turn on metering and watch where you pull data and how. If there is a client you don't recognize then you might want to kick it off your network to see. I actually increased my service because i use the data, and want the extra speed, but not because of their email. Right now it is only a notification, but i imagine new service will eventually have a surcharge associated with it. and then pushing people of into a fully metered service, much like mobile providers.

Re: I successfully built the linux from scratch temp toolchain

Re: OT: question about real-time location-sensitive message broadcasts
Well you will need to tag your content for preferences. On account creation you do a questionnaire. So that is now in a database. The you tie your app into the location services. That would ping back and everything in range would be tagged and made available in the apps offer screen. With a single notification of offers in your area. I would not suggest using another service as your transport as that can get your Data banned. On Jul 30, 2014 12:29 AM, David Schwartz newslett...@thetoolwiz.com wrote: I realize this is totally OT, but I thought folks might have fun discussing it, and I'm guessing you'll have some great insights to share. Basically, I have an idea for something that is a real-time notification system that takes advantage of geo-tagged messages that are intended for people near-by, meaning within a 10-mile radius or so. People will send out short geo-tagged messages using our mobile app, and if the app is running on your mobile device, then it will pick up the messages and determine whether to alert you or not based on your location and some other criteria. For something tangible, think of a system where a business would announce, say, free pizza at their Rural and University location for the next 20 minutes. (Again, over-simplified, but that's the essence of the messaging, and how low-bandwidth it would be.) It NEEDS to be a dedicated app, not a plugin for something like FB or some other social media platform. How would you approach the messaging for this? Note that if the idea takes off, we're talking about O(6) to O(8) numbers of apps running, anywhere in the world. One thing that comes to mind for me is to use Twitter as a transport mechanism and implement a simple messaging protocol on it that uses hashtags. It could be overkill, and possibly also not consistent with Twitter's TOS. Just a thought. How else might you construct some way to broadcast short messages that are received by a large number of users in fairly short order? (ie., less than a minute). Also, as I mentioned, there is a locality effect that's implicit in this application, as well as timeliness. So the further someone is from where a message originates, the less relevant it is. At some point, say, over 10 miles, they're likely to be 100% irrelevant and be filtered out. (Using the above free pizza announcement, if you're at the Scottsdale Air Park, you really don't care. But a wine-tasting at a bar near the Air Park would definitely get delivered to you.) So we could broadcast each announcement message to everybody (all current listeners) in real-time (like what Twitter would do) and let the client-side filter out the irrelevant messages (around 99.99%). Or we could reduce that bandwidth by having clients update the server periodically (eg., every 5 minutes) with their location, then for each announcement, a server would locate clients within a reasonable radius based on their last reported position and only notify them directly through a push notification of some sort; the clients would still do some filtering, but this would reduce incoming traffic considerably. I'm not sure which is worse: a server updating a huge number of clients in near real-time, or a huge number of clients updating the server with their geographical location every 5 minutes or so. Or, an alternative is for the clients to poll the server every 15-30 seconds, but this seems even worse in terms of traffic. (Althought this approach is probably ok if we used an existing platform like Twitter.)

Re: defrag
technicaly its half true. Modern Linux filesystem(s) keep fragmentation at a minimum by keeping all blocks in a file close together, even if they can't be stored in consecutive sectors. Some filesystems, like ext3, effectively allocate the free block that is nearest to other blocks in a file. Therefore it is not necessary to worry about fragmentation in a Linux system. While ext3 is more resistant to file fragmentation than the FAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table filesystem, ext3 can get fragmented over time or for specific usage patterns, like slowly writing large files. Consequently, ext4 (the successor to ext3) has an online filesystem defragmentation utility e4defrag and currently supports extents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extent_(file_systems) (contiguous file regions).

However, e4defrag seems to indicate it does need to be defragged.

I set up a 501c3 corporation over 10 years ago for my daughters' club softball teams. I was the head coach and president of the corporation. I had a lawyer help with the application as probono workI downloaded the application from the IRS, filled it out, asked the attorney a few questions, he reviewed the final application, and the IRS approved it. I kept the books in gnucash and filed the annual tax forms myselfa few reports from gnucash and some electronic filings with the state and IRS. I had three teams and over $45K in annual donations, so it was not that small of an operation. It was easy. It is amazing what one can learn by just reading the IRS handouts. I did not need a CPA or attorney after the initial filing with the IRS. I also haven't been audited or sent to jail for my 501c3. I am also not a CPA or attorney...just an engineer with an MBA. I think there is a certain mystic about non-profit organizations that is just not true. It is not that big of a deal. You need three officers, just like any other AZ corporation to get started. I am not volunteering to set up the non-profit, nor do I have an opinion whether PLUG should be a non-profit or not. I am just saying that from my personal experience, it is not as scary and difficult to setup and run a non-profit as part of this discussion is making it out to be.

I believe in the past that was not so if you were not having a certain amount of funds running through your accounts. Additionally, the board, or officers, are responsible for the accuracy of those taxes and the compliance of the organization which should not ever be overlooked. I would not say its a good thing or a bad thing. I would say it is a good thing if you have a bunch of corporate donors lined up to provide significant funding to some of the plug activities. If you are speaking of a $100 here or there (under $1k/year), I would say that it is a waste of time becoming a non-profit. You will have to have money to maintain the following... 1. CPA for tax season, 2. Lawyer (mostly for initial filings, but also for organization), 3. Commercial bank account (banks charge for those things). This is my 2 cents only. I was once on the board of a charitable organization that failed. It was a lot of work and I always had concerns about money mismanagement.

There are some initial costs (fees) just becoming a state recognized organization, getting a federal non-profit status will take longer - The purpose would be education. A bank account is needed and finding a lawyer/accountant that is willing to support the group pro-bono (post a wanted add at ASU) are also needed. Don't skimp on infrastructure - you're starting a distributed group, support it.
