Then his GSoC mentor Hin-Tak Leung finished the implementation last year, which targeted Linux 3.0, but he did not have time to test or maintain: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/56609 http://htl10.users.sourceforge.net/patchsets/hfsplus_3.0_rfc/hfsplus_standalone_20110815.tar.gz And based on that tarball, I have fixed the code and got it compiled under the Ubuntu 12.10 Linux 3.4 kernel: https://github.com/kcleung/hfsplus there are only 17 lines changed from Hin-Tak's hfsplus_standalone_20110815.tar.gz So what is the proper way to prepare a patchset containing the journal implementation for submission? This project started with Linux 3.0, or before by Naota, and therefore the first patch would have applied in</pre> Arduino Novice 2012-05-06T04:15:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9273 <pre>http://www.brendangregg.com/specials.html Here are a few commands from the list; *baud &lt;http://www.brendangregg.com/Specials/baud&gt;* Run commands safely at their native baud, eg 2400, 9600. Commands are often run over high speed ssh or telnet sessions, causing Command Fault Heat State Exception (CFHSE) errors due to overbauding.

This will take up our regular DunLUG meeting slot. The venue is easy to find at 291 Stuart Street (King Edward Technical Court). The room is a little more difficult but is well documented here: http://dspace.org.nz/location/. If you are driving there is ample parking at the rear of the building and the room is very near the back entrance. Note that is will be ANZAC day so don't forget to come along at the end of your day off work (sorry to all those teleworkers who owe their time to non-NZ based companies!). There's limited refreshments at Makerspace so please BYO. As responsible adults we need to make sure those consuming alcohol (if you bring some) are 18 or over. The following people will be giving short talks: * Phil Weir - "an idiot's guide to computational modeling" - I don't know how to summarise this so will leave it to your capable minds.

The conference is being held in Dunedin, over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of September. I’m hoping that you, or the company you work for will consider sponsoring the conference. Kiwi PyCon is organised by the New Zealand Python User group - a not-for-profit organisation. We don’t make any profit from the conference, and the organisers donate their free time to make the event a success. We rely entirely on companies’ sponsorship to pay the bills. Sponsorship has several advantages for you: - It’s an opportunity to get brand exposure in front of the foremost Python experts from New Zealand and around the world. - Presents a fantastic networking opportunity if you are looking to employ engineers now, or in the future. - Align yourself with market leaders and past sponsors such as Github, Weta Digital, Catalyst IT, Mozilla. Become known as a Python promoter and industry leader. - Gold sponsors receive fiv</pre> Thomi Richards 2012-04-11T20:14:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9263 <pre>Just in case you guys want another shot at it :) ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [Announce] linux.conf.au 2014 Bid - Formal Request From: "John Ferlito" &lt;johnf&lt; at &gt;inodes.org&gt; Date: Wed, April 11, 2012 2:35 pm To: announce&lt; at &gt;linux.org.au "linux-aus" &lt;linux-aus&lt; at &gt;linux.org.au&gt; Cc: lugcomms&lt; at &gt;lists.linux.org.au -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howdy, We have just come off the tail end of linux.conf.au 2012 and I'm very much looking forwarded to linux.conf.au 2013 in Canberra next year. However it is now time to look forwards to 2014. We are a bit behind on the bid process this year, so we've dropped the expressions of interest phase and are moving straight into the formal bids phase. The new timeline is outlined below: * Jan/Feb - The council updates the bid process documentation. * 11th Apr - The council will formally request bids for LCA. * 15th Jun - Submission of formal bids closes. * Jun</pre> lev< at >levlafayette.com 2012-04-11T05:50:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9262 <pre>Last night we were discussing a few things and here's a list of things that I made a note of that you may be interested in. *AT&amp;T's Microcell's Back Door has a Back Door* http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/18618/extreme-wifi-makeover-techsnap-52/ In the video, start at 4:00 minutes in, the device, hardware, software, AT&amp;T's back door (called "The Wizard") and the unexpected back door into The Wizard is discussed in good detail up until 16:45. This is a really interesting discussion about how consumer devices that you plug into your private network aren't secure just because you have them behind a locked door. *CyberCrime * DarkMarket was an English-speaking internet cybercrime forum created by Renukanth Subramaniam in London that was shut down in 2008 after FBI agent J.

Does anyone currently use them, or recently switched? I know it can vary quite a bit, but what kind of download upload speeds to you get if you test it at speedtest.net? I'm currently on Slingshot and am quite happy with the performance, but could save $20/month and get larger download cap if I switched.

So we briefly discussed some things last night: *DunLUG Hacker Night - 25th April* We'll hold another DunLUG Hacker Night on Wed the 25th of April at the Makerspace. Consider this an open call for presenters - if there's something that you've been working with, playing with or just want to share then here's your chance. There's no hard and fast rule that it must be Linux-powered (after all, our meetings only sometimes talk about Linux) and if we get a turn out like last time there'll be about 25 people there. If you want to present something, just email me back (or the list) and I'll keep a list of who's doing what so I can announce it closer to the time. There is also a good chance that I might not be available that night to coordinate the proceedings (just a bit of shouting) due to my wife being close to her delive</pre> Bob M Brown 2012-03-29T08:31:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9219 <pre>A summary of the Panorama programme the was discussed at tonight's DunLUG meeting can be found here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17522112 Phil. </pre> Philip Charles 2012-03-28T10:33:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9217 <pre>Hi Folks, Same story as 15 days ago - come to the pub, buy a pint, meet some people and we might even talk about Linux. If there's enough people and Paul C turns up we might even be able to do a round or two of Werewolf ( http://www.eblong.com/zarf/werewolf.html) By the way did you know that: * We're on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/DunLUG * We're on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/dunlug * We're not on other networks yet .. but be a champ and manage it yourself :) A very loose agenda: * Fixing a date for the next presentation session at the Makerspace (last time we agreed it was a good idea and to just pick a date so this time we will) * Getting the word out to the public - we've talked about this before but I'll be there this time to make notes and let's get into it * Venue Discussion - I'm keen on being somewhere with Internet access so we can geek out a little, would be keen on others thoughts See you tomorrow night from 7:30pm.
