Poll: Does the list need moderation?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 http://kclug.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34 So far, the "Does KCLUG need organization?" poll is tied at 4 to 4. I think this is closer to what people are talking about. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFH3poBE5xXU3JS1mQRAmCFAKDR53rNu/JqW6z1D9sYiZ6vnpEArQCXYTvy q78VzKj7LMuFp0Wj60QE3g== =msN+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Can we post a Link to Cedric Shock's Knoppix as "Rescue Tool" Tutorial- on the KCLUG page?
by Oren Beck 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Ok- I have been giving prints of this truly incredible tutorial: http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/knoppix/index32.html Along with the Knoppix cd for several years now. So far the # of not only "rescue success stories" but actual Linux new users from this project is really worth studying. Here's the overview of WHY. Last month my wife was ill so I was unable to run calls. One customer had a stupid employee "Virus&Crash" their primary WinXP box. Yeah- firing the kid sadly does not make the data accessible again. The hero of their day was not so much "me" for handing his son the Shockfamily link a year ago- but Mr Shock's project itself! Well, can we see about posting the link at minimum- if not a mirror with Permission formally requested of course. A few years ago -. I asked Cedric if he minded my "handout" of his project's screen prints and he at that time replied in email-"no problem." So I think he'd not object if formally asked. As for the Big Why? So someone searching for recovery of data from Windows will perhaps be guided to a low risk self rescue, Or perhaps be guided to a KCLUG meeting. -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Do we have any Xandros users on list?
by Oren Beck 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Well- I seem to have it working on my T42 laptop. Now I am back to working on that previous project for my mother. The new attack mode is now being explored from the remote session features of Xandros. And do remember folks- EVen if what you suggest does not "work" for my situation- some other lost soul in the future may dig our archives and apply your wisdoms. -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Assistance with Repair to WD World Book Edition Drive
by marlowe＠antagonism.org 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, I set up my WD World Book Edition Drive to accept access via SSH. [1] I even added the optware package management system. Unfortunately, after a reboot of the drive, I am no longer able to access the drive over the network. I discovered this is to corruption on the third partition on the disk. [2] However I am not comfortable with taking apart the drive, due to numerous experiences destroying embedded devices. I would appreciate someone giving me a hand with this. Please contact me off list, I willing to provide beer and/or food as trade. Cheers, Patrick [1] http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/first-steps-with-mbwe [2] http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/rescue-procedure -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFH3TYwMYIXomaKpd8RAkH+AJ95FCEHYUCNA1WEU08oIgVfC7iOQQCfUqRq 6/kPDJP5Mg02mHPwJntLGsE= =F4FC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I may have a least restrictive alternative to full moderation-for the list at least.
by Oren Beck 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Some of the list participants favor unfettered anarchy for the hell of it. Or Ethics? Other participants appear to be advocating "Robert's Rules of order" be applied. I propose accommodation of both worldviews. In a fashion that has worked for other forums. By having one list posting out as unfiltered and another as filtered/moderated. With archives of both incarnations kept on the site server for posterity. Life goes on unchanged for the existing list. Whoever we "agree " on execiting the proposal as final list comment "vote" determines would then ADD a setting to list preferences menus. One allowing the not yet defined "filtered/moderated" list output as an option. Here is the defining intent of this least restrictive alternative. To accomodate the divergent views of our participants in a fashion fair to all. In blunt english folks- If you want an anarchistic anything goes forum -do NOT let the Ordnuing! shrieks silence free speech. If you are a purist -demanding your Linux list be uncontaminated by non-topical posts? Step up to the plate and show your skills! create an instrumentality of code and human participation giving the purist audience such a feed. So our new horizon gives a choice between Anarchy or Whatever consensus decrees. It's not a perfect for all elements fix- but it makes a hell of a lot more sense than anything said so far. The listserve UberGurus amongst us might even have a trivial way to do parts of this. -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Reverse of Gmailfs needed.- something to make a local copy of everything from a Gmail account
by Oren Beck 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Does anyone have a method for automatic backing up a Gmail account/s to my local drive? Several obvious reasons but none of them are worth detailing save the fact of it becoming a good idea. I'd be most interested in ones perhaps using the Livedemo writing back to it's own media variants also . Thanks in advance all- -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645
