I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it, but I will do my best! Also don't forget that OggCamp is happening in October. If you haven't already signed up I highly recommend it as it's a great event. If you can, please help support the event by adding a donation when you get a ticket as it is well worth it. I expect a bunch of us will be catching the train up to Liverpool, so we'll organise the times nearer the date. Les -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The landlord was very friendly and gave me the Wifi code so I could get on and do a bit of work and enjoy a bitter while I waited. Obviously, last night didn't work for folk because no-one else turned up - but maybe next month..... Anyway, I wonder if anyone could give me a bit of advice? Steve very kindly sorted out my little Samsung NC110 (Korean keyboard) netbook a month or so ago and it worked brilliantly while we were in the States. It's still working brilliantly - and I'm so glad that all my files are on it because...but now I have a problem with my other Linux Mint laptop - a Dell Inspiron 1564. If I didn't have my trusty little netbook I would really be in trouble!! I run Mint 15 Cinnamon on my Dell 1564 - Microsoft free - and everything's been great until last week. For some reason my wireless seems to have packed up. The other two computers in the house (my wife's Windows Dell 1764 and my little Samsung) don't have any problems connecting wirelessly to our BT broadband hub, however, my Dell Inspiron 1564 does! I know the Broadcom B4312 chip can be a bit problematical and so I've tried to go through all the ideas on the forums - including downloading the Sourceforge bcm4312.deb package and applying it. This seems to be the best thing but it just keeps trying to connect to my BT hub - and failing. However, it's better than any of the other alternatives I've been trying fruitlessly for the last three days. They were all saying 'out of range' (e.g. purging bcmwl-kernel-source and installing firmware-b43-lpphy-installer or doing the opposite and re-installing bcmwl-kernel-source!). Maybe like the problem Steve solved there's an easy answer but I just can't see it! Can the Broadcom chip fail and completely pack up? Is this my problem? Any wise advice would be most welcome! Many thanks in advance, Nic Deane From dan at danlynch.org Sun Sep 29 14:09:11 2013 From: dan at danlynch.org (Dan Lynch) Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:09:11 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Liverpool LUG Meeting - Weds Oct 2nd - 7pm In-Reply-To: <5248311D.2000507@danlynch.org> References: <5248311D.2000507@danlynch.org> Message-ID: <52483482.4000406@danlynch.org> Ok folks, it's LivLUG time again. This Wednesday October 2nd we will conveign at Liverpool Social Centre on Bold Street 7pm onwards. Directions and other info about LSC can be found here - http://www.liverpoolsocialcentre.org/ Our very own Sebastian Arcus will be presenting his irrigation project and demonstrating. In his own words... "It's an Arduino powered micro-irrigation system. Nothing revolutionary really - plenty of people have done it before. It will be more of a demo/hands-on session, of tips on how to build one, choosing parts, getting them to work properly etc. Useful for those interested in Arduino micro-irrigation, but also for anybody getting started with Arduino for other things or getting into building electronics projects in general." So there we have it. Should be fun! We'll head to The Shipping Forecast afterwards for drinks at around 9pm as usual. Everyone is welcome and there's no requirement of prior technical knowledge or experience. We're a friendly and informal group. See you there :) Dan _______________________________________________ Liverpool mailing list Liverpool at mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/liverpool
