Re: [nlug] Laptop repairs...

If someone is brave enough it would be worth pulling the laptop apart to see if the motherboard is soaked with coffee. If so, it is possible to wash it off with water and carefully dry it off. Hopefully the battery was disconnected immediately after the spill. Beside lots of screws to remove

Re: [nlug] Dependecy Hell

Google for MCPAN and see if that fixes things, or breaks them even further. Most of the time it will install dependencies without much of a problem. YMMV, I only abuse Perl when I can. Dave On Tue, 2011-06-07 at 01:03 -0500, Richard Thomas wrote: Why does it seem with Perl that the

Re: [nlug] disk drive issues

I am a bit late, so someone may have said something I have not read yet. Last Windows box that I had to resurrect I put the drive in one of my LInux boxes and enabled the proper file system. I was not able to get that drive to work on a Windows box at all. I was able to recover better than 95%

Re: [nlug] disk drive issues

Having used Spinrite before on a few occasions I would agree it is worth a shot. I would probably try putting it in a Linux box and backing everything up I could get from the drive first (my bit about that will show up a bit later). Dave On Fri, 2011-04-22 at 14:23 -0500, Bruce W. Martin

Re: [nlug] FUD on the radio

Hello Gang, Hearing that was a subject on WGNS bothers me. I worked there many years ago. I will have to take a listen. I may also chime in with a note about that crap. I have had something I am wanting to get working on Linux that is probably going to take more than just me to accomplish.

Re: [nlug] SELinux

Hello Terry, I have also had battles with SELinux. Much of the time loosing the battle. There are usually some complaints in the logs that can be used to modify rules. I have also been using the Apache module mod_security. I ended up some time ago disabling SELinux (on Fedora 14). On Centos I

That was the subject of a discussion at one of the informal nlug group meetings at the pizza place on Hayes Street a few years ago. At the time we were talking about something similar to CVS to keep track of changes. That really is a cool idea. It would be very helpful to document what changes

I would suggest disconnecting the second drive and then try loading the box. It has been quite a while, but I seem to recall having that same battle many months ago. Best I remember things were confused when both drives were in place. Might be worth moving everything over the network to
