From iamseawolf at gmail.com Tue Jun 1 21:08:26 2010 From: iamseawolf at gmail.com (Ben Arnold) Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:08:26 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Fedora Getting Started resources Message-ID: <201006012208.12692.iamseawolf@gmail.com> Hi -- I've noticed Fedora's latest release attract a number of new users. I imagine many folks are used to other distros so thought I'd share a couple of links with good info that may help: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f13.html - general install guide, updated with each release - good media players / codecs section (attn: RPMFusion) http://www.fedorafaq.org/ - expanded basics but older - current release is F10 but applies pretty much straight off - decent history & troubleshooting There's some quite useful third-party repositories. Each are added as a text file in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. This is often automated by installing an RPM from the repo site; those will simply install the sources text file and will automagically be enabled in Yum. - RPMFusion - contains propietary codes and extra software - a lot of audio/video stuff - http://rpmfusion.org/ - Livna - merged with RPMFusion in 2008 - used for just *one* package RPMF didn't want - http://rpm.livna.org/ - Sun (err, Oracle) VirtualBox - also install 'dkms' to auto-build kernel module at start-up! - save the following in /etc/yum/repos.d./ : http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo - KDE unstable builds - depends on RPMFusion - if you want a beta version of KDE4 - save as /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo: http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/kde.repo - Free-dora, a 100% Free Software Kernel - contains no proprietary binaries, 100% free software - save the example in /etc/yum.repos.d/freedora.repo: http://www.fsfla.org/pipermail/linux-libre/2008-August/000089.html - Adobe [Acrobat, Flash, other evil apps that have FS alternatives] - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - select "YUM for Linux" option to download the RPM. Note: There's a possibility that they may or may not be compatible with each other, but I've had no problems in about three years. Arguably the commonest use of these are for multimedia codecs. The following command usually sorts it: sudo yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad* gstreamer-plugins-base \ gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly -x *devel *docs This will install: - bad - bad-free - bad-free-extras - bad-nonfree - base - good - ugly You've set up sudo, right? =-) Cheers, Ben -- Ben Arnold Chester, UK e: ben at seawolfsanctuary.com w: seawolfsanctuary.com | t: @seawolf nom = { :cookies => :mouth } nom; nom; nom From andy at tensixtyone.com Wed Jun 2 07:59:51 2010 From: andy at tensixtyone.com (Andrew Williams) Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2010 07:59:51 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Liverpool LUG Meeting - 2nd June 2010 Message-ID: <20100602075950.GA6471@manex.tensixtyone.com> Liverpool Linux User Group Meeting - June 2010 Date Wed June 2nd, 2010 from 7:00pm - 8:00pm Location: Liverpool Social Centre, 96 Bold Street, Liverpool, England L1 4HY Liverpool Linux User Group are a group of Linux and open source software users that meet on the first Wednesday of the month. If no talk is organised then we will usually organise a “open stage” for people to discuss projects, current news, or just to rant. Main Talk Sebastian Arcus will be giving a talk about a setting up a home Linux-based CCTV system. Open Stage As per usual, time will be allocated to the end of the talk for anyone to give a five minute talk on any subject. If you want some time just drop me a mail or grab me on the day. Doors are usually open before 7:00pm if people want to meet up in the centre, The Liverpool Social Centre is two doors up from Forbidden Planet and is the right-hand door at the front of “News From Nowhere”. Press the white doorbell for access (the one marked basement) and someone will come up and open the door for you. After any talks are finished will usually stay in the meeting area until 8:00pm then head out to a local pub, The pub varies from month to month and usually depends on the size of the crowd. If you arrive late and unsure of where we are then give one of the contacts a ring.

It's an app to install and configure various basic bits 'n' pieces, codecs, sudo, a dark new-ubu-like theme and the like. It looks pretty good on my very short test run; I'm not 100% sure which individual packages it installs, but it runs yum in a Terminal so you can see exactly which for yourself. It can't go far wrong though, perhaps one or two to pick up if and when they're needed.

The regular monthly meeting place, Luke O'Connor House on the south-east side of the city, will play host between 10am & 2pm. Anyone is welcome to pop in to see what Linux, open-source & free software is all about, try out any number of flavours on the computer suite and see what benefits it has to offer. Experienced techie wizards will be on hand to answer any questions. If you like what you see, we can install Linux for you on your own computer (optionally keeping any other OSes and data available) over a cup of tea or coffee; take-home CDs will also be available (for a tiny cost only to cover purchase). See the website, mailing list & Facebook group for more info & support: http://www.wrexham-lug.org/index.php?page=install-fest http://wrexham-lug.org/mailman/listinfo/relay_wrexham-lug.org http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110633018970070 Cheers, Ben ----- Ben Arnold Chester, UK e: ben at seawolfsanctuary.com w: seawolfsanctuary.com | t: @seawolf nom = { :cookies => :mouth } nom; nom; nom From stuart.james.burns at gmail.com Mon Jun 28 22:53:19 2010 From: stuart.james.burns at gmail.com (Stuart Burns) Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 22:53:19 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Cool free scifi Message-ID: I was browsing around on the ubuntu forum and found this made for bit torrent independent movie.
