[SLUG] change title of xterm window
Hi. How are you all doing? I use lots of xterms on my screen. I'd like to be able to change the title of the xterm window, by type in it at the prompt. Anyone know how to do this? Currently I have the title dynamically show the path but that isn't enough to distinguish when I have them 'rolled up' since I am working on several files simultaneously from the same directory. Is there any other way anyone knows of that I could make each window distinguishable preferably with a meaningful title? Thanks. Kind regards.

Re: [SLUG] Request For Venue: SLUG monthly meeting
Anand Kumria posted this UTS venue issue in the UTS programming society mailing list (of which I am also subscribed). It was suggested that if the venue was to be registered by the programming society, then it would be free. Of course you would have to officially declare the meetings as a joint ProgSoc-SLUG event, with ProgSoc officials probably present in the meetings... Carlo Lindsay Holmwood wrote: G'day all, The SLUG committee were informed this afternoon that UTS will be charging us for the use of their rooms as of next meeting. They want $607 per meeting, that's with a non-profit discount. SLUG cannot afford this, at least beyond the upcoming meeting. The committee is going to try to arrange a sponsorship deal with the UTS Faculty of IT or UTS themselves, but we don't think this can be done in time for next week's meeting. I've also been in contact with IBM, however they don't think they'll be able to organise a venue in time for next week. So we're hoping that someone in the community can help us out. If you know a venue, or work for a company than can organise a venue fitting 40-100+ people, is close to public transport (trains especially), is inexpensive (preferably free), and available for next Friday's meeting, we'd love to hear from you. At Pia's community panel a few months back there was talk of a possible venue change to the University of Sydney. This would be ideal, although it is late in the peice to set in motion. We don't want this to be the end of our 12 year relationship with UTS, but unfortunately if we can't work out a deal, it looks like it will be.

I had something similiar to this, I kept a directory of all the current iptables rules and then converted into input for iptables-save iptables-restore, which batch loads the tables (hence much faster than flushing and readding your rules one by one), this gets rid of the need to delete specific rows.

Brainstorming follows. Create a new chain, say lo-rules, with a default policy of RETURN. Jump to it at the appropriate place in your firewall script. When lo comes up, add your iptables rule to the lo-rules chain. When lo goes down, flush the lo-rules chain. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

This is the WRONG answer, but is the quickest easiest way: REINSALL ubuntu If you want to do it the hard way 1) Boot off any live CD. Ubuntu's is a good choice 2) Become root sudo su, on knoppix knoppix->root shell etc 3) Mount your disk somewhere eg (put in the correct values) mount /dev/hda2 /mnt also I've seen inconsistent results, make sure your root is not already mounted by the live CD. # mount (if it is use that, don't try to mount) 4) Install grub: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda If your /boot/grub/menu.lst was correct, you will now have a correct boot menu. Try the second way, if after much time you can't make it right, do 1.

I took over maintainership of a tool called filtergen some years back, which
we use at Anchor for all firewall maintenance, and I can see a way to use it
to do what you want.
I'd have the up script copy the filter fragment into an include directory,
then regenerate the filter, and in the down script delete the fragment and
regenerate, i.e.:
/etc/filtergen/rules.filter:
input eth0 {
include /etc/filtergen/input.d/
};
/etc/filtergen/input.d:
some_fragment (symlink to ../fragment.d/some_fragment)
/etc/filtergen/fragment.d:
some_fragment:
port 22 accept;
Does that make sense? :)

Coming by train from the Central coast, it is likely to be quicker to get off the intercity at Hornsby and switch to a suburban on the North Shore line from there, instead of going all the way to Central and then back up again. On the other hand, Hornsby -> St. Leonards is a long way, and the train times might not sync real well. Check on 131500.com or the train timetables directly to see which is actually quicker. I agree with Matt. The express from Hornsby to Central takes 35 minutes, and then you'll have to change to an intercity platform at central and hop on a train to St. Leonards, adding another 25 minutes on top of the Hornsby -> Central hop. Changing at Hornsby and going the North Shore line (Platform 1 that time of day) will take you ~40 minutes. Hope to see you there!

[SLUG] Seeking iptables interface-specific script
Is there a canonical way of writing interface specific iptables scripts?

The trouble is that iptables doesn't seem to have great support for this automated rule-specific kind of operation. Individual rules can be deleted with -D, but only if you know the rule number which, as far as I can tell, you work out by running 'iptables -L' and counting the rules from the top of the chain.

[SLUG] Pushy Windows
Any help here would be appreciated. I had XP and Dapper working together on a partitioned drive. XP decided it would not boot any more because of a missing file. So I reinstalled it on its own previous drive partition leaving Ubuntu's untouched. Now on boot up I am offered only this unattractive choice: I can select XP or I can select XP. Yes, it lists itself twice. No other option. Can I do something to get Ubuntu back as an option at boot up time or must I now reinstall it?

Get off the train at St Leonards, walk through the ticket barriers and walk straight ahead until you reach the highway. Turn left (toward the city). The IBM building, 601 Pacific Hwy, is a couple of hundred metres away on the left (i.e. the north side of the highway), near Westpac Bank. If you reach Albany St, you've gone too far. If you go past RNS hospital, turn around and go back the other way :-) Cheers, John -- In My Experience, which includes >25 years with WeBuildHighways, a traffic engineer's point of view involves trying to see out through intestine and abdominal wall. -- Mike Andrews -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
