mailing list issue
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

I'm receiving much of my email through an ancient server. I hope to fix that. Some of my messages from the GTALUG list are dammaged. Basically, the newlines are lost. I suspect that this is due to my server, but at least some of the problem is the GTALUG list handling software. For example, Chris Browne just sent a message to the list and CCed me. The copy that went directly was fine. The copy that went through the GTALUG is mangled. The direct copy was transmitted in plain text, UTF-8: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 The copy from the list had been changed to base64 by the list sofware: X-MIME-Autoconverted: from base64 to 8bit by gw-d.mimosa.com id v2EGxaHB032483 I expect that my systems MIME Autoconverter is wrong but why is the list software creating base64 where none existed before? Other observations: Not all my mail goes through that gateway. The simple (non-MIME) messages that come via another gateway seem to all be in base 64. Why? Not all my GTALUG mail that goes through that gateway gets mangled. For example, the message about dinner that I sent to the list didn't get mangled. This seems to have started happening in late September.

Updating Wheezy to Jessie
by David Mason 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

I have a server at home that tends to be install and forget. It's running Wheezy and zfsonlinux. Unfortunately zfsonlinux no longer supports Wheezy, so upgrading isn't as straight-forward as I would hope. I am following instructions at https://www.howtoforge.com/ tutorial/how-to-upgrade-debian-wheezy-to-jessie-stable-release/ and one of the early steps is to do apt-get update which gets some "No public key available" for the zfsonlinux/wheezy links. This leads to the following: root@server:/etc/apt# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: default-jdk default-jre default-jre-headless zfsutils The following packages will be upgraded: apt apt-utils base-files bash bind9-host binutils cpio cups cups-client cups-common cups-filters cups-ppdc dbus debian-archive-keyring dnsutils dpkg dpkg-dev e2fslibs e2fsprogs exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light file fontconfig fontconfig-config foomatic-filters ghostscript ghostscript-cups gnupg gpgv grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common gstreamer0.10-gconf gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-x host hpijs hplip hplip-data icedtea-6-jre-cacao icedtea-6-jre-jamvm icedtea-netx icedtea-netx-common isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common java-common krb5-locales libapt-inst1.5 libapt-pkg4.12 libass4 libavcodec53 libavformat53 libavutil51 libbind9-80 libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev libcairo-gobject2 libcairo2 libcomerr2 libcups2 libcupscgi1 libcupsdriver1 libcupsfilters1 libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 libcupsppdc1 libcurl3-gnutls libdbus-1-3 libdns88 libdpkg-perl libevent-2.0-5 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libfuse2 libgc1c2 libgcrypt11 libgd2-xpm libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common libgif4 libgme0 libgnutls-openssl27 libgnutls26 libgs9 libgs9-common libgssapi-krb5-2 libgssrpc4 libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-bin libgtk-3-common libhpmud0 libicu48 libidn11 libisc84 libisccc80 libisccfg82 libjasper1 libk5crypto3 libkadm5clnt-mit8 libkadm5srv-mit8 libkdb5-6 libkrb5-3 libkrb5support0 liblcms1 liblcms2-2 libldap-2.4-2 liblwres80 libmagic1 libnspr4 libnss3 libnvpair1 libpcsclite1 libperl5.14 libpixman-1-0 libpng12-0 libpoppler19 libpython2.7 librsvg2-2 librsvg2-common libsane-hpaio libslp1 libsqlite3-0 libss2 libssl1.0.0 libsystemd-login0 libtasn1-3 libtiff4 libupnp6 libuutil1 libx11-6 libx11-data libx11-dev libx11-doc libx11-xcb1 libxapian22 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxml2 libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxslt1.1 libxtst6 libxv1 libzfs2 libzpool2 linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64 linux-headers-3.2.0-4-common linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 linux-libc-dev live-tools locales mime-support multiarch-support openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib openssh-client openssh-server openssl perl perl-base perl-modules poppler-utils printer-driver-hpcups printer-driver-hpijs printer-driver-postscript-hp python-crypto python-imaging python2.7 python2.7-minimal rpcbind spl spl-dkms ssl-cert sudo tar tzdata tzdata-java unzip vim-common vim-tiny wget wpasupplicant xscreensaver xscreensaver-data zfs-dkms zfsonlinux 199 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

A Rakuten/Kobo contract job
by David Collier-Brown 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

My department has a small status dashboard, written in python: we need a developer to expand and clean it up, as the current one is the "minimum viable product". This is basically doing a GUI in python with a little bit of html/css as opposed to a "suffer from javascript" job. The description is at https://www.kobo.com/jobs?jvi=ofdO4fw4,Job I'd appreciate a good applicant or two, as I need to work with this product (;-)) Send me mail if you're interested. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Git/Gitolite Question
by Peter King 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

I have a repository cloned from an original master repository -- but the server it was taken from, hosting the original master repository with git/gitolite, is now defunct, leaving me with only my cloned repository. I have now set up another server running git and gitolite, and I can successfully log in via ssh, clone/pull/push the gitolite-admin repo, and add a new bare repo to that server by editing gitolite-admin, all as it should be. How do I take the old repository cloned from the defunct server and set it up as master on the new git/gitolite server? There are a few steps involved, and it isn't clear how or in what order to carry them out: (1) put the old repository on the new git/gitolite server, to be managed by gitolite (2) make that repository on the new git/gitolite server to be the master/origin from now on From looking at the documentation and googling around, it seems like I can accomplish (1) by just modifying the gitolite-admin on my local machine to add a "new" repository (namely the old cloned repository) to which I give myself access. One thing I'm not clear about is whether I then put the old cloned repository in the proper place in my filesystem and then push the changes to gitolite-admin, or first push the changes so that there is a "new" empty repo created by gitolite, pull the empty repo, replace it with the old cloned repo, or what. Anyway, at some point in the process (after the above? in the middle?) I need to set git/gitolite up to point to the old cloned repository, now managed by gitolite, to be the orgin/master. When? Sorry for the elementary questions, but I don't want to make any mistakes in re-situating the old cloned repository. If anyone knows the answers and can tell me, preferably assuming that I'm a complete novice to git/gitolite, I'd appreciate it.

How to find out if you're behind proxy?
by William Park 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi all, Do you know any simple way to find out if you're behind a proxy? Usually , I get "Connection reset by peer" when I ssh to a machine which only accepts my key. But, that message could be caused by other problems. -- William

I was so surprised to be able to pay with my mobile in Walmart (and even at Dollar Store etc) on my last trip to the US (so, it was almost like home (and I live in a small town in Africa, -here we cannot swipe either - you either have to have a smart phone or a chip card, etc) but, yeah, most people in the US still swipe.... maybe it is also the cost of re-issuing cards as every consumer seems to have at least 50 cards (I only have one) so I had "card envy" :) ymmv but Americans love swiping :) Wow this reminds me of some of the early issues around energy conservation. When Energy Star started operations in Canada they offered trade in rebates to upgrade appliances like fridges & ac's etc. They would then ship those energy hogs to needy developing nations as a charitable contribution. I guess they actually did that until someone crunched the carbon and said, all things considered and from a global perspective, it would be better to ship ES units instead. lm not surprised that developing and lesser populated areas would chose perminance and retention of sustainable technology over disposability and repetive wastfullness. The US has always been the third world; in post columbian discovery, after Eurasia and Africa. Typically, like the youngest in a clan it is favoured, demanding, petulant, selfish and envied. Just like its current president. As for america not knowing it yet. That too is a condition of the young. Russell ac --- Talk Mailing List talk(a)gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
