Merry Christmas -- for some
by gary hildebrand 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Gentlemen: After having my home repossessed (like many other Americans), I ended up for two weeks at the Restart shelter in E downtown KC. The experience there . . . well I can only describe it this way: If I were a survivor of the Holocaust, I wouldn't wish it on the Nezis. I've spent the last 6 weeks at the Salvation Army shelter in St. Joseph, and was ordered to leave today just after lunch. Why? Simple respect, and the lack thereof. Remember this story when you see the bellringers over their kettles -- some of their fold don't understand and practice what they claim. I wish all of you LUG nuts and others who aren't afraid to walk a different walk than the rest of the US a glorious and wonderful Christmas and New Year's holiday. I ask that you keep in mind that many aren't as well off as us, and instead of giving them a handout, a hand up would be appreciated, even if it seems small and inconsequential. And happy Channukah, and Merry Kwanza to those who have slightly different beliefs. May next year be brighter than this year. Gary Hildebrand [homeless] St. Joseph, MO

Folks: I usually get an inbox full of posts to the list, but lately nothing. Am I alone in this or is the list down (if so, why am I sending this? In addition, how will I get an answer if I can't see the list's output?) Could somebody mail me about this situation? (There, that should do it...:-\)

Update on the bad update
by Haworth, Michael A. 10 Dec '08

Thanks for the help on recovering my system. Still not 100% sure what the pebkac was but everything is running normal again and I am now forging back into getting Fedora 10 to performing the duties that we will need from a desktop OS.

Fwd: [alg] AISD cluelessness?

ALG forward to show what we still have to battle in schools. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Ray <matthewhray(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 9:48 AM Subject: [alg] AISD cluelessness? To: "The Austin (TX) Linux and General Discussion Mailing List" <alg(a)austinlug.org> http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html Surprised this hadn't been linked here. Hopefully this is an isolated incident, I know a couple of people associated with AISD who are quite tech-savvy. Anyone know more details? -Matt _______________________________________________ ALG Mailing List http://austinlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/alg -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Whoops! Caught a bad update
by Haworth, Michael A. 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Looks like I caught a bad update from Fedora on Monday - I got the update alert with x number of bugfixes, updates, etc. and reviewed it like I would any windows update - had some dbus bugfixes, some ALSA, and a few others... Went ahead and applied them and then decided that I wanted to tinker with a few other things and add some packages. I open Add/Remove Software to search for what I am after and as soon as I click on a category I get greeted with "The group could not be queried Running the transaction failed" and under more details it cites that it failed to get a TID because of a security policy"... I immediately went to Google to see if there was an answer to be found that would make me look like a n00b, but there isn't - there is only some acknowledgements that the error has been noticed - no solution. All of my Software Sources are missing, so even if a patch is to be released, I won't be able to see it at this point. I know that wiping and re-installing is the Windows way of fixing this, but I was wondering - is there a way to just 'undo' the updates that I applied the other day? I know that Linux doesn't have the 'Restore Point' functionality, but shouldn't there be a way to remove/regress packages (with no Software Source) to get back to a version that is preferred/functional? I'm not really worried at this point - just that I haven't had to re-format for almost a week now (last one was due to some bad ATI drivers...), and was hoping to keep it going a few more days before I do something else foolish to my new OS.
