I thought that the old infrastructure had been burned down. Ted has now subscribed to the new list and posted this but it awaits moderation. This is an astounding deal for a good 27" 2560x1440 monitor. I've ordered one. $307.61 including taxes, EHF, shipping. It might be a pricing error. Thanks Ted!

teksavvy dsl 2 modem that runs OpenWRT
by Alex Volkov 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hello everyone, I need to get a DSL2 modem, and I like running OpenWRT when it comes to embedded devices -- I'm planning to run OpenVPN, ssh server and a few Python scripts. I'm assuming there could be a router out the with DSL2 modem capability. Could anyone recommend the most linux-friendly model that would have enough resources to run all the things I've mentioned? Thanks, Alex.

Re: [GTALUG] how to open .asec file
by Peace River 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Could anyone tell me a software I can open the .asec file? I saved some passwords in the keeper application with my old android phone. I then backup the file to my laptop. However, I am not able to open the file. the file name is com.callpod.android_apps.keeper-2.asec. I need to open it so that if by accident, I cannot get access to my old cellphone, I still have access to those passwords. Many thanks in advance! have a good weekend, Frank Yu

ffmpeg question
by Zbigniew Koziol 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hello, For some here the answer will probably be know right away. That is why I am writing, after long googling. I would like to create a sort of video presentation from images. However, I would like that every slide (image) is displayed for a different time duration. This is just the first step; next i would like to combine voice with that, but it is probably another problem, for later. Hence, I have a sequence of images y-%2d.png The following works for me: ffmpeg -framerate 1/10 -i y-%2d.png -c:v mpeg4 -vf "fps=2,format=yuv420p" out.mp4 And the following works, too: ffmpeg -r 1/2 -start_number 7 -i y-%2d.png -c:v mpeg4 -vf "fps=2,format=yuv420p" out.mp4 However, how to control the time of displaying individual images? Is that possible at all? I thought that something like this may work: ffmpeg -r 1/5 -i y-01.png -r 1 -i y-02.png -c:v mpeg4 -vf "fps=2,format=yuv420p" out.mp4 It does not. The first image is displayed, only. Kind regards from Poland, zb. -- Zbigniew Kozioł http://nanophysics.pl mobile: 500 685 477 stationary at home: 17 229 8940

paid help to install Ubuntu 14.04 server on old workstation?
by Joe Murray 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

I have an old workstation with an Asus P5Q motherboard, Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and 6 500Gb drives. I've only done a few Ubuntu installs, and I'm having trouble getting past a problem with installing on a RAID device - my guess is that it was a problem with master boot record or something. Not sure if I have done something quite bad, but for some reason it no longer even shows BIOS stuff (yes, I've checked the cabling), and the power source doesn't sound quite normal for a few seconds after power on. Please contact me (offlist if that is netiquette here) with suggestions of who could help me with this fairly simple hardware/sysadmin task, either yourself or an organisation or person. Thanks, Joe Murray, PhD President, JMA Consulting joe.murray(a)jmaconsulting.biz skype JosephPMurray twitter JoeMurray 416.466.1281
