[Boston.pm] problem with Redhat 8.0, Apache, mod_perl, libapreq
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm trying to install RequestTracker on a Redhat 8.0 box, and I'm getting stuck on libapreq, the perl module that provides Apache::Cookie. Whether I'm trying it from the rt build, or via -MCPAN, or by building libapreq by hand from the tarball, it fails when running perl Makefile.PL: Can't locate Apache/MyConfig.pm in @INC Apparently Apache::MyConfig is supposed to be part of mod_perl, but there's no trace of it on the system, and mod_perl seems to be running fine. The rpm is installed, and when I created the /var/www/perl directory and dropped a hello world perl script in it, the script ran correctly when tested in a browser. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a workaround? The best I can guess is that perhaps libapreq just doesn't work with apache 2.x, and that I can't run RequestTracker on Redhat 8.0 without downgrading to an older apache/mod_perl combo. I'm hoping that's not actually the case.

There's also the fact that SysRq actually does something, at least on Redhat and Fedora using the default Gnome desktop settings: it creates a screenshot. I notice this every time I accidentally hit SysRq instead of Scroll Lock. And Scroll Lock is used by my KVM switch to switch between my various machines. As for the Windows key, Metacity uses that as a mouse modifier; within the content area of a window, W-leftbutton moves the window, W-middlebutton resizes the window, and W-rightbutton pops up the same menu you get from right-clicking the window's titlebar. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux Unix Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm

Re: [Boston.pm] telepresence for meetings
I asked MIT about the cameras. They say we can use them to stream our meetings, but they can't provide us tech support, so we'd have to figure out for ourselves how to use them. There's no mechanism for non-MIT users to record from the cameras, but if you can play the streaming video on a laptop, I imagine it should be possible to record the stream to the laptop's hard drive, then post the recording to youtube afterward.

Re: [Boston.pm] telepresence for meetings
My understanding is that Google Hangout works with a laptop's webcam. The support people at MIT told me that we can use the built-in cameras in the classrooms to stream our meetings, but that they cannot provide support, and that the cameras can only record into MIT's private video archive, which cannot be accessed by non-MIT users to upload to YouTube or to record onto a laptop.

At the Internet of Things Festival a couple months ago, the talks were live-streamed via Hangouts, and the video was watchable immediately with no more than a couple minutes' delay. The entire thing was available for posterity afterward, but you didn't have to wait for the end before starting to watch it. If the Boston.pm meeting is also being live-streamed, the same thing should apply.
