Extracting data from JSON file
by William Park 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

How do you extract data from JSON file? For XML file, "xmlstarlet" is the tool you try first. Is there similar tool for JSON format? I tried "jq" today, but its syntax is a bit weird from first look. -- William Park <opengeometry(a)yahoo.ca>

Request for demo on Firefox's Web Developer capabilities
by William Park 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi all, For network tracing of something that is initiated by browser, I recently discovered Firefox's Web Developer > Network which is more immediate and convenient than Wireshark's Analyze > TCP Follow. But, I'm not a "web developer" and don't know what most other tabs mean or where to use them. So, I would like to see a quick demo or tutorial of Firefox's Web Developer capabilities, say 20 minutes max. If you can cover other browser's debugging capabilities, that would be a bonus. -- William Park <opengeometry(a)yahoo.ca>

Recommendations for useful laptop suitable for Ubuntu
by Alex Beamish 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Greetings, My Windows 10 laptop died pretty close to its fifth birthday, so I'm planning on replacing it with a Linux laptop. I've used it for conference calls (hosting the Toronto Perlmongers meeings), and some light Libre Office work, so I need something better than a Bare Bones laptop, but not as wicked as a big fat gamer's rig. Refurbished is OK, and pre-loaded with Linux is also fine. Budget is perhaps $600-$800. Thanks! -- Alex Beamish Software Developer / https://ca.linkedin.com/in/alex-beamish-5111ba3 Speaker Wrangler / Toronto Perlmongers / http://to.pm.org/ Baritone, Operations Manager / Toronto Northern Lights, 2013 Champions / www.northernlightschorus.com

<https://gtalug.org/meeting/2019-08/> # Lighting Talks Strike Twice. This is GTALUG's version of an un-conference, a loosely structured short talks emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between participants, rather than following a conventionally structured GTALUG meetings. If you already have a topic in mind please send an email speakers(a)gtalug.org to be added to the list of scheduled talks. If you would like to give a talk during the meeting, all you have to do is write your name on a post-it and stick it on the whiteboard in the front of the room. When your talk gets selected, you will have five to present your idea, then five minutes of audience questions. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <https://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting, a group of GTALUGers move to The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socialising. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills. We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that could jeopardise the participation of any person in the community. The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims affiliation or participates directly. It applies to activities online or offline. We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open. Please read more about the GTALUG Code of Conduct here: <https://gtalug.org/about/code-of-conduct/>.

I have an HP Spectre Pro X360 G1 ultrabook running Ubuntu 18.04. The ultrabook is great and everything works fine **except** the built-in microphone. The built-in microphone shows as "unplugged" until you manually enable it with pavucontrol. So far I have been unable to find a workaround to this problem that does not involve manual configuration with pavucontrol. This is not to say that I have not tried hard enough to solve this problem. >

Can't connect to ca.archive.ubuntu.com
by Jim Ruxton 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

I am trying to update Ubuntu and all day I have been unable to connect to ca.archive.ubuntu.com (resolves to 91.189.88.152) . I can't ping it either. I have no problems pinging us.archive.ubuntu.com . I assume the Canadian archive is down. Is there a simple way I can use apt-get with us.archive.ubuntu.com instead of ca.archive.ubuntu.com ? Thanks, Jim
