df problem (and work around) - kernel 5.15.0.102-generic
by Shlomo Solomon 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

I had a problem with df on a cif mount. I Googled and found a work around. Thought this might interest others so including 2 links. TL;DR - There is a bug in 5.15.0.102-generic. Reverting to 5.15.0.101-generic solved the problem. I hope/assume this will be fixed in the next update. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=417371 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1509987/cifs-on-22-04-lts-has-something-cha… -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Claws Mail 3.17.5 - KDE Plasma 5.18.5 - Kubuntu 20.04

Hebrew anti-clockwise clock
by Boruch Baum 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

I stumbled upon an ancient (year 1995) X11 app called xarclock that runs anti-clockwise. You might figure that its purpose was to mimic the Medieval Hebrew clock in Prague, but the author seems to have just wanted to gag life in the Southern hemisphere, where sundials (he claims) run in reverse. I added Hebrew support and published it to github along with a debian package and a stand-alone executable. Debian already has the original version (patched) in its repositories. Is there a debian person (preferably a developer) on the list who can guide me how to suggest my modifications be added to the debian package? https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/xarclock-hebrew https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/xarclock-hebrew/releases/tag/v1.0 A modern QT version of this would be fun, but I don't know QT programming. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0

Linux Campfire Tales at GoLUG, 4/3/2024
by Steve Litt 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Hi all, GoLUG meeting where anyone who wants to can share their Linux or BSD story. ====================================================================== What: Online: Linux Campfire Tales Who: Anyone wanting to tell a Linux story When: Wednesday 4/3/2024 at 7PM Eastern Daylight Time Where: Jitsi online presentation, https://meet.jit.si/golug [1] ====================================================================== Everybody has a Linux or BSD story they'd like to tell. Now's your chance. It can be from 1992 or from yesterday, or anywhere in between, your choice. Has Linux ever saved your bacon? Slapped you in the face? How did you transition into Linux? These stories can be first person or third person or just something you heard about. I imagine more than one of us will relay our experience with the recent xz Utils backdoor: I know that mess made my heart skip a few beats before realizing my distro wasn't affected. Hope to see you all there.
