Re: [Haifux] Re: [HAIFUX LECTURE] Eran Sandler on The Mono Project
You are right that the best way to learn linux is by experimenting reading the web etc. If so then there is no point in any lecture... I think that the lectures we see here in the staying in linux series may be interesting to many people, for example, the CVS lecture, many people that use linux for a long time are not always familiar with CVS. Also the shell lecture, if it includes basic scripting might be interesting for many people. In summery, I think It is good that we have these lectures. -- Ori Idan Shlomi Fish wrote: On Thu, 22 Jan 2004, Orna Agmon wrote: Staying in Linux - How to Install a New Driver (cont) by guy keren on 2/2/04 Linux Device Drivers - 9/2/2004 Staying in Linux - Multimedia in Linux by Alon Altman on 16/2/04 Multilingual TeX by Ron Artstein 23/2/04 Staying in Linux - Shell by Orna Agmon 1/3/2004 Staying in Linux - CVS by Tzahi Fadida on 15/3/2004 Culmus and fonts by Maxim Iorsh on 22/3/2004 Ingo Molnar's O(1) scheduler by Erez Hadad on 19/4/2004 Staying in Linux - Firewall with IPtables by Adir Abraham 3/5/04 Firewall with IPtables by Adir Abraham 10/5/04 Web hacking for fun and profit Alon Altman 17/5/2004 Linux kernel 2.6 by Muli Ben-Yehuda 7/6/04 User Mode Linux by Muli Ben-Yehuda 21/6/04 Pardon my query, but why do we need so many more Staying in Linux lectures?

Shlomi, I think that it depends on what is it that these lectures are trying to achieve? Is W2L was for less skillful people that wanted to know about Linux? Yes. Are all less skillful people eager to experiment all the time? Probably not all of them. The question is what is the audiance? Is it to counter Windows and such so people will know, like, love and use Linux as their primary platform for day to day computing? Or is the audiance potential Linux hackers/Administrators/Advanced Users ?

The issue is going to be writing device drivers in the respective operating systems (no, Muli is not going to explain how to write a device driver in Windows). Schedule (both lectures in almighty Taub 1): Sunday January 25th, 1430-1630: Microsoft. Wednesday, January 28th, 1030-1230: Linux. It should be pointed out, that Muli is going to run his lecture at Haifux as well. You are nevertheless invited to hear his talk on Wednesday.

Re: [Haifux] Re: SIL lectures
i guess the background for the SiL lectures was not discussed on the mailing list, so i'll just repeat here what was discussed during the W2L series in Taub 3. there appeared to be a demand for lectures which are beyond W2L, for people who have been at the W2L series, and want to continue, but are intimidated by the normal lectures (what if i don't know enough to understand what they talka bout?, i will fill silly to ask questions when everyone else seems to understand everything, etc.). there is a gap, which is too wide, between the level of W2L lectures and the level of regular club lectures. thus, we decided to make a short series to cover this gap - not beginner lectures, but not too advanced, either. something that will eventually allow people who've been at the W2L series, to join the regular club's meetings. it was agreed that in these lectures, we'll fix the problem with the W2L lecture - that of going too fast and not giving any real examples. this series seems to have taken its own life now. some lectures have too much material to fit into one meeting, so they are stretched over two meetings. some other materia, that popped up during those lectures, will require its own meeting (e.g. 'shell'). and since it looks like people are coming, we'll keep this going on, as long as there is demand, and as long as people want to give lectures. and since this series does not harm the regular club's meetings, i don't think there should be any objections to carrying on. i hope this makes matters clear. and remember. claims along the lines of people should learn on their own, we shouldn't help them will be ignored, since the 'we' do not include those who make these claims. -- guy For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator. -- nob o. dy -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Haifux] Why SiL (Was: Eran Sandler on The Mono Project)
Wow, Shlomi. I had exactly those those thoughts about the Perl lectures. Why are they needed? Perl, after all, is a language that you best learn by trying it out. And it has plenty of friendly tutorials that will show your way. After all, the basics don't change. And the thing I never grasped: Why were all these lectures part of Haifux, when there's another group for that? I think that the basic guideline should be that if there is a lecturer, place, time and a *substantial* audience, a lecture should take place. I don't attend the SiL lectures myself (after all, I've stayed) but I'm quite confident that if the audience would stop coming, this whole project would die out by itself. And as you can see from the mailing list, these lectures are not a case of the lecturer preparing slides and pushing them on the group, but the other way around. These SiL lectures deal with the basics of UNIX, and I believe that they will be run over and over again (not necessarily by the same people) to get more and more people across the river.

The reason I'm asking is because from time to time my telnetd is like not responding ... Then I have to run service xinetd restart to restart the telnetd. That is suboptimal. Is there a correlation between when the telnetd does not repond, and the above messages? do other network services work? can you ping the machine? Any information will be appreciate. Just one more bit - telnet is unsafe, since it sends your password and data in the clear (unencrypted). Always use 'ssh' if you can.

[Haifux] Order in Court (Was and Still IS: Flame Wars)
Dear All, The Haifa Linux club (Haifux) is a place for Linux supporters, users, developers, and other types of mammals, to meet and discuss Linux. Currently most of our meetings have the following structure: Lecture Break+Discussions Lecture Continues The idea of some actions the club holds are to bring new people to use Linux, and introduce them to the Linux world. However, the club is an acronym for: a group of people who are related to Haifux is some obscure way. I once was asked when the management of the club was meeting. I admit I never knew we had one, but besides that, any Linux related activity you like to hold -- you can. The club will offer some web space for announcement, mailing lists, etc. BUT Nothing else. Whenever the club is doing something, it is actually a group of people from within the club (another problematic concept, who is considered an Haifux member?) who do something for the Linux/Open Source movement. If the club wishes to have SiL -- be my guest. If the club wishes to have Programming in Perl -- be my guest. If the club wishes to have Salsa dancing in the Linux environment while typing Python code on the keyboard strapped to the head of a Tux -- BE MY GUEST (and please be careful about the dancing part). As long it has some vague connection to Linux (where the only problem is that I define vague) the club will allow the advertisement in the website, mailing list, etc. And if someone wishes to have 45 lectures regarding setting up X on SPARC, and (s)he has no problem with only one listener -- feel free to create such a lecture set.

Hi, and you think someone will jump for your command and help you, when you've less then 24 hours to get this thing done? No, but I thought I should try. You have to understand that most of us aren't linux professionals and we have no idea about how complex is to run our shell in 'single mode'. We are 12 people working on this project. So our shell do include lots of components. my first advice is: ask for a delay in delivering the project. you're bound not to make it on time. Probably not possible. But will try. This 'single user mode' support is only one in many requirements we've had. assuming that your shell is not compatible with bourne shell, you cannot just replace the normall shell (/bin/sh) - you will be breaking down your entire system (e.g. the shell scripts, which handle launchingof the system, will stop working). i am not sure how init knows which shell to run as the default shell for single-user mode. perhaps it uses the shell defined for user 'root' - try changing that iwth the 'chsh' command. do note that you'd better make sure your shell actually works, and that you have a currently open root-shell, before doing this. then try to login as root, see if this works. if not - you'll be able to use the still open root shell to change root to using the previous shell again (you did check which shell this is before making the switch - didn't you?).

[Haifux] Invitation for Lecture
Hello all, We have an open slot on February 23rd. This slot is intended for a regular Haifux lecture, i.e. not a Staying in Linux lecture. We would like to encourage new lecturers to give a lecture on this day. The lecture topics may vary, and do not have to be purely Linux. As past lectures may show (http://www.haifux.org/lectures.html), other free software, (good) programming, and even computer science subjects that are more loosely connected with Linux are good topics. The guideline is: what interests Haifux people to hear about. And of course what interests Orr :) So, Haifux people,_old_and_new_as_one_, you are invited to fill the slot.

For example: Jan 19 23:38:58 nahum-x telnetd[24258]: ttloop: peer died: EOF Jan 19 23:38:58 nahum-x telnetd[24375]: ttloop: read: Connection reset by peer And this one that is much more to worry about: Jan 21 02:42:57 nahum-x kernel: eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status 8401. Sounds like a broken network card driver. A long time ago, I used to have similar problems with Mandrake 8.0 Try to see if there are any updates for your network card driver or linux distro.
