Try not auto neg. Try manual assignment. also check switch port has not 
been set to 100mbs by accident.

Try another cable?

Thanks,

There are other gigabit connections that are workking at 1000Mb

Any ideas on how to fix this?  Or is the PHY cactus?

[SLUG] Genuflects to YACC gos

[James]

G'day

Thanks to Peter I have a grammar that works:
%%
Sections : Lines
 | Sections Section
 ;

Section : HOST Lines
;

Lines   : 
| Lines Line
;

Line: ID EQ arg
| ID SLASH ID EQ arg
;

arg : ID { do_arg (yytext); }
| STRING { do_str (yytext); }
;
%%


In Line I want to capture the value of ID either as a key or as a path/key
Despite everything I can learn and try from
http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/old/texinfo/bison/bison.html#SEC48

I cannot do so. Without hacking flex to save the tokens, what is the correct 
way to grab ID.
Many thanks (the answer must be trivial, but boy it alludes me)
James

[SLUG] Motion to be put at the AGM: Wind up SLUG

[James Polley]

I've BCCed the main SLUG list on this email; please direct responses
to the activities@ list.

SLUG is an incorporated association. This places many burdens on the
association; in the main, we end up merely duplicating work and
expenses that Linux Australia does.

In addition, the aims and goals of SLUG seem to largely mirror those
of Linux Australia - with the exception that SLUG is exclusively
focused on the Sydney area while LA has a larger scope.

I'm proposing that we ask LA to take over the functions SLUG has
performed, and then wind up SLUG as an association.

This move would free the local open source community from:
 - The requirement to have a Public Officer for SLUG (LA has a public
officer already)

 - Requirements to lodge reports with the Dept. Fair Trading (LA has
to lodge more paperwork than SLUG does; but taking on SLUG's
responsibilities would not add to their burden)

 - $800/year in insurance - this currently consumes almost 100% of our
income. If freed from this burden, we would not need to ask for
membership fees (LAs existing insurance would cover SLUG at no extra
cost, if SLUG was a subcommittee of LA)

 - The requirement to have more than two members on the committee
(more on this later) (It's still a good idea to have >2 people, and we
probably want to have 3-4 - but as a subcommittee we can tweak that
number as needed, whereas now we're required to have at least 4; and
tweaking requires a special resolution to be passed at a General
Meeting..)


The suggested structure for a replacement for SLUG is as follows:
 - Linux Australia would create a subcomittee (tentatively named the
Sydney Linux User Group subcommittee), and delegate to this
subcommittee the responsibility of running regular meetings and
coordinating other such activities as may seem useful to support the
open source communities in and around Sydney.
- The subcommittee can later, as needed, recruit other members as required
- Linux Australia will appoint two people to this subcommittee: the
people elected as President at the SLUG AGM in March 2011 to act as
convenor of the subcommittee, and the person elected as treasurer to
act as treasurer for the subcommittee
 - SLUG would, pursuant to a Special Resolution passed at the March
2011 AGM, apply to the Director-General for approval to wind up the
association
 - SLUG would, pursuant to the same Special Resolution, apply to the
Director-General to disburse all assets to LA, to be used by LA to
support the operations of the SLUG subcommittee

I’ve drafted the motion I’d like to put at the AGM onto the wiki
(http://wiki.slug.org.au/windup). The final wording needs to be
announced 21 days before the AGM, so please submit any feedback you
have in the next few days.

[SLUG] Notice of AGM: 25th March 2011

[James Polley]

Dear Sydney Linux Users Group members,

This message is to give notice that the Sydney Linux Users Group will
hold its Annual General Meeting of Members on Friday March 25th 2011 at
the Google office, 48 Pirrama Rd, Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Please note that the building’s front doors close at 6:30pm and access
after this time is not guaranteed. The AGM will be commencing at
approximately 7pm. Only current financial members will be eligible to
vote, but all are welcome to attend the AGM.

Please also note that your 2010 membership expires immediately before
the AGM commences - only a 2011 membership is valid. Our Treasurer
will be selling memberships before the AGM (and memberships be at the
February meeting if you’d like to get yours early).

For a user-friendly guide to the AGM, see [0].

Members unable to attend the meeting may raise issues for the committee
to respond to either publicly, by mailing the SLUG Activities mailing
list[1], or privately by mailing the Committee directly at
commit...@slug.org.au.

The draft agenda for the meeting is available online at [2].

The minutes from the 2010 AGM are at [3] for you to review prior to the
2011 AGM.

Members interested in serving on the Committee are highly encouraged to
nominate themselves for one or more positions. Most of the existing
committee members have indicated that they will not be running for
re-election.

SLUG membership is $15 for students, and $25 for everyone else.

Voting will occur at the meeting by show of hands by financial members
(identified by possession of a membership card). Members unable to
attend in person may appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf, in
accordance with Section 4.11, and Appendix 2, of the SLUG
constitution[4].

Parties should notify the secretary of their appointment of a proxy via
digitally signed e-mail to commit...@slug.org.au, using the form
mentioned in Appendix 2.

The committee will ask that the members ratify its activities as
detailed in the office bearers' reports were in accordance with the
organisation's aims. These reports will be presented at the AGM.

On behalf of the committee I would like to thank you for your continued
interest in SLUG and involvement with the community to date, and
encourage you to pass on any questions or ideas you may have about the
organisation's future to the SLUG Activities mailing list or the
committee directly.

[SLUG] CodeCave 2011 init 0.2

[Paul Wayper]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi SLUGgers!

I recently blogged (http://www.mabula.net/tbfw/2011/02/15) about running a
coding event similar to Peter Miller's Codecon, but at the Yarrangobilly Caves
Guest House.  Advantages are: power, beds, kitchens, lounges, thermal springs,
cave tours, a huge selection of intelligent and knowledgeable fellow
programmers, and no internet; disadvantages are: lack of 'roughing it'.  Some
of you may have seen this - here's a brief update.

The dates are Friday 3rd of June to Sunday 5th of June - I had to book these
or lose the only free date between now and October.  I have enough people to
make it worth having one wing; the second wing has a complicated arrangement
of beds that make it suitable for two couples, up to five people in shared
rooms, or some combination of both - don't worry, we can probably fit you in.
 People from interstate can be picked up from Canberra airport or bus station
and taken there and back with local Canberrans.  I'm also organising meals for
anyone that wants to be part of that group for an extra fee (you can
self-cater as well if you want to).  The cost is going to be somewhere between
$80 and $60 depending on how many people I get.  The maximum I can take is
sixteen.

Please get back to me before the end of February to let me know if you're
interested in this.  Also be in touch if you have any questions :-)

Have fun,

Paul
