Message posting, mailing list archive thread feature (was: Re: Help removing a GPG key)

When posting a new question or topic, please start or compose a new
email message and then address it to the mailing list with the
appropriate subject.

Please do *NOT* select or reply to an old message (erase the content,
update the subject) and then send it to the mailing list. This breaks
the message threading feature in the mailing list archives.

http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2013-May/thread.html

What that means is, if someone visits the web archive (very common via
Google searching, etc.) and wants to follow the entire discussion by
clicking on the "thread" link - it will be intermixed with unrelated
topics.

Thank you,

A hello and are there any good CLI guys, and/or gals, looking for projects? Rookies too...

Hello all!

I am grateful and excited that I found this list...I have been trying to 
figure out how to connect with the Linux community on some level locally. 
Being new to learning Linux myself, I had no idea this list existed...thank 
you to those who make this happen, stay involved and keep it going!!!

I have made the plunge personally into learning Linux and after being six 
months (hands on) into it, I have found a new passion (and challenge)! I 
look forward to connecting with the community locally and am willing to help 
anyone out, with the limited knowledge I have in Linux, or any other way I 
can!

I started my current company a year and a half ago and am looking to get a 
few Linux guys, and/or gals, involved, both on a project basis and possibly 
moving into a longer term scenario... I need those willing to learn, as well 
as a couple of seasoned vets (also willing to learn and adapt)! If you or 
anyone you know is looking to connect with a good, growing, young (but 
established) company, please get a hold of me...that goes for ANYONE who 
reads this!!! I am willing to open up the opportunity to the right guys, 
and/or gals, that are learning as well...(as I am one of those guys!), 
however am in need of a few who have a solid grounding in a few areas with 
needs now.

These would be some of the areas we need and would be a plus, but not 
limited there:
Coding (pretty much any current language is useful), scripting, database, 
networking (Nagios?), hardware, help desk/client support, open source 
Software installs and integration, virtual environments, Sharepoint, 
SugarCRM and/or SIP knowledge is a plus...Loving Linux and ability to learn

Recommendations for onsite IT help?

Hi,
A friend of mine is looking for a good recommendation for someone who
can do on-site IT work in the uptown area. Nothing fancy, just basic
networking, anti-virus, backups, etc...

If you know anyone that you'd recommend, please share!

Thanks,

Erik

scripts for working with gcalcli (Google Calendar command-line interface)

I use Google Calendar.  I really like the Google Calendar command-line 
interface called gcalcli.  It's a python script that you can get here:

https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli

The screenshots there look OK, but it is improved now and uses line 
characters to create the week and month calendars, so it looks a little 
better.

To make it easier for me to use gcalcli, in the ways I usually use it, I 
wrote some scripts and put them here:

http://genetsim.org/gcalcli/

Example commands:

myday
show an ANSI-color-coded list of calendar events for all calendars for 
today

myday tomorrow
show an ANSI-color-coded list of calendar events for all calendars for 
tomorrow

myday 7/27
myday "July 27"
myday "Jul 27"
myday "27 July"
myday "27 Jul"
All show an ANSI-color-coded list of calendar events for all calendars for 
July 27 (current year)

myday today 5
show an ANSI-color-coded list of calendar events for all calendars for 5 
days starting today

myday 8/1/2014 10 owner
myday "August 1, 2014" 10 owner
myday "1 August 2014" 10 owner
myday "1 Aug 2014" 10 owner
myday 2014-08-01 10 owner
All show a plain list (no color) of calendar events for the owner's 
calendar for 10 days starting August 1, 2014

myweek
show an ANSI-color-coded calendar for all calendars for the Sun-Sat week 
that includes today

myweek 6/1 4
myweek "June 1" 4
myweek "1 June" 4
All show an ANSI-color-coded calendar for all calendars for the 4 Sun-Sat 
weeks beginning with the week that includes June 1 of this year

myweek 6/1 4 owner
myweek "June 1" 4 owner
myweek "1 June" 4 owner
All show a plain calendar (no color) for the owner's calendar (or those 
specified) for the 4 Sun-Sat weeks beginning with the week that includes 
June 1 of this year

mymonth
show an ANSI-color-coded calendar for all calendars for the calendar month 
that includes today

mymonth 6/12
mymonth "June 12"
mymonth "Jun 12"
mymonth "12 June"
mymonth "12 Jun"
All show an ANSI-color-coded calendar for all calendars for the calendar 
month that includes June 12 of this year (we get the same calendar for 6/1 
as for 6/12 or 6/30 or "June 25")

mymonth 6/12 owner
mymonth "June 12" owner
mymonth "12 Jun" owner
All show a plain calendar (no color) for the owner's calendar (or 
specified calendars) for the calendar month that includes June 12 of this 
year (again, we get the same calendar for 6/1 as for 6/12 or 6/30 or "June 
25")

Re: problems with editing replies

You were replying to messages from Paul. I know who he is and Have his phone
number and in next day or so I will contact him. I am sure he does not
completely understand what you are asking him to do. 
I have been guilty of some of the same myself and did not completely
understand what was being asked about eh subject line until this last digest
sent about this topic.
I will be more diligent myself about what to include. It took me some time to
learn some of the other basics about messaging such as using bcc instead of cc
in adding names to the list to be sent my replies. 
I also learned to remove the header information which would list all the email
addresses of those sent by the original sender since they might not want their
email address to be know world-wide etc.

Please forgive us newcomers.

I dont think Paul would have a problem if he simply copied the openSuse12.3 to
his hard drive, only if he had installed it there as an iso.

error: fd0 read error

TCLUG,
I have a Ubuntu 12.04 Server with software raid. It said there were updates???
So did the apt-get update and now I get a error: fd0 read error and it won't boot.
Screen just goes black after grub screen.
Disabled the floppy in bios, but to no avail.
Have looked all over the sites for some options.
Any thoughts on whether I can recover this???
Tom

I just want to apologize to everyone! I have turned digest mode off now. I am not trying to torture anyone. Is this better now because I have been confused as to how to properly respond to messages since I signed up. Sorry

Re: replying to digests one time too many

no need to deny digests to those that don't abuse them, but for those who do, repeatedly, despite warnings, by all means bump them off digests onto normal mode..

Accidental copy was:Re: tclug-list Digest, Vol 101, Issue 21

Paul, ***please*** read this and take my advice.

Good mailing list etiquette requires that you do the following things:

1. If you insist on remaining subscribed to the list digest (it baffles me why you would do so), **please** strip out the irrelevant portions of the message, only leaving the specific bits of text that you are responding to.

2. Edit the subject line! How meaningful is this subject line to you:

 [tclug-list] tclug-list Digest, Vol 101, Issue 21

Not very, is it. Edit the subject and make it meaningful. This not only makes list discussions much easier to track, but it also makes the list archives much more useful.

So - others have mentioned this many times and you've apparently ignored the advice, but I'll try again - go here, sign in, and change "Digest Mode" to "off". This way, you'll get separate emails, delivered immediately, instead of a single daily digest.

-Erik
