This month there is no talk as such, but Sebastian Arcus will lead us in an effort to acquire data on the compatibility of bluetooth-enabled mobile phones with the Asterisk free software PBX¹. Of interest is the functionality of phones operating as a handset, a phone line, and an SMS sender or receiver. We will attempt to add as many rows as possible to the table here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/chan_mobile So says Sebastian, "What you need to do: 1. Find, beg, borrow or, err, borrow as many different bluetooth enabled mobiles of any sort you can. We mainly need mobiles that either don't show on the wiki page above, or the ones which show with a question mark and can do with more testing. Even older models are important - as this application involves a phone sitting next to an Asterisk box and can be plugged into its charger permanently (old batteries are not a problem). So if a model proves to be particularly suitable - people will go on Ebay and source older models or re-use stuff lying around doing nothing. 2. Bring the mobile with you - including a charger in case it is an older mobile which doesn't hold charge very well." We will meet at the Liverpool Social Centre² at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. After the data collection efforts, we will venture to Studio 2³ for beverages and further discussion. Liverpool Social Centre is next door to the News from Nowhere bookshop on Bold Street⁴. To access the centre, press the bell for the basement on the left of the door and someone will come up and let you in. A reminder will be sent closer to the date. See you there :-) ¹ http://www.asterisk.org/ ² http://www.liverpoolsocialcentre.org/ ³ http://www.parrstreet.co.uk/STUDIO2/Lounge%20Bar.htm ⁴ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.402426&lon=-2.976481&zoom=18 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <1323640749.70260.YahooMailNeo@web29512.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Hi all Don't know if you remember me – I came to a few meetings right at the start of the group, but then moved to Manchester 2 or 3 years ago and have followed you all as a lurker since then. Anyway, I was wondering if the Chester hive mind can offer any advice on a problem which is doing my head in at the moment... Apologies for the long story. I have a desktop PC, about 7/8 years old, Athlon processor, Radeon graphics card, which has happily run Linux for years starting with PCLinuxOS and then Debian 5 and 6 stable. In the past 2 or 3 months it got a bit flaky and would not update to the latest (Deb stable) kernel either through Synaptic or apt-get. Then last week it wouldn't boot at all and reported segfaults at boot. So I tried to: Re-install a Clonezilla system backup (from before the errors started happening) Install a newly downloaded Deb 6 CD Re- install from my previous Deb 5 and 6 CDs, which I know ran OK Install other linuxes – SUSE, Fedora CDs Run live CDs – Suse, PCLinuxOS, probably others. They all fail, either in the install or on first boot. Usually the error message is about a segfault, sometimes about a corrupt install but I suspect that is a false message. So, I think a hardware problem. BUT I can run Puppy from a USB stick which loads into RAM. I have tried changing the HD (SATA and IDE) and CD drives, no difference, and run memtest, all OK. I don't understand. Why can I run from USB / RAM, but not hard disk or CD? Of course, I'm trying to avoid the conclusion that the thing is terminally broken. I can't afford a new one, I've just bought a new bike! Does anyone have any suggestions?
