Hello,
I've started working with rsync and I'm close to getting things the
way I want it, but I need a bit of help from an expert to finish the
project.
I'm rsyncing from a directory on a server to a usb mass-storage device
attached to a different computer. I'm running an rsync daemon on the
server and I'm able to successfully synchronize the contents of a
directory on the server to a directory on the usb device.
What I want: when I delete a file or directory on either place it will
remove …
[View More]it from the other.
What it does now: If I delete a directory or file from the server it
removes it from the USB device (ya!) but if I remove a file/directory
from the USB device and perform an rsync it replaces the deleted
file/directory.
Here is the rsync command I'm using:
rsync --delete --delete-excluded --recursive -uv
quiringm@192.168.1.102:/mnt/hdd/music/podcasts/ /Volumes/MEK/Podcasts/
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Montana

I've noticed there hasn't been an update to BNR2 in a number of years.
Since it has troubles with its own database for headers I was wondering
what people use as an alternative. Granted this is a question I asked a
few years back, but BNR2 was updating regularly at that point.
I liked BNR2 because it is able to handle "unstable" servers like
Shaws. It also allows downloads from multiple servers if the completion
rate isn't very good on some of them. It also allows the user to
prioritise …
[View More]which servers are used first. Finally it allows the user to
adjust the font size for high resolution monitors (always a good feature
in any program).
In the past I tried pan. Before the Shaw servers became unstable I was
using it all the time. I'll admit to not using the last two versions.
However the versions I did use all became "confused" when dealing with
Shaw and even froze rock solid. I guess something tied up the download
slots and refused to release them.
What do people use now? I don't mind setting up a pseudo server (gets
the headers and maybe does the actual downloading but only on request
from the news reader). The pseudo server route has a lot of advantages
if the program is stable and can handle Shaw.

looks like zipit is at it again ... the original zipit1 was an IM device
with built-in wireless b/g .. hacked to have console access and sd card,
backlighting etc .. seems the new version has some upgrades. For $150 .
not too bad ... expect some good hacks when it appears:

The nice folks at Shaw tell me that their public proxy _should_ be
able to peer but they haven't tested it.
I've setup squid to use them as a parent but I have no idea how to
tell if it is working or not.
I've tried a few permutations of the config but I don't see anything
in the access log with respect to the peering actually happening. I
figured my cache_store log would tell me something but I don't have
the column decoder ring quite yet.
# Peer with ICP
#cache_peer proxy.wp.…
[View More]shawcable.net parent 3128 3130 default
# Peer without ICP
cache_peer proxy.wp.shawcable.net parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest
Any ideas?

I've had this problem for a long time and I've never been able to solve
it. I have a simple NFS setup between 2 FC5 boxes. I've never been able
to get (what I think is) locking to work. NFS works great for 99% of
uses/apps, but things that appear to do locking fail in strange ways.
1. OpenOffice's oocalc will take a long time to open a file across NFS and
when it finally does, it's read-only.
2. Flock calls in perl will hang indefinitely over NFS.

Hear ye, hear ye!
This is the FINAL CALL for nominees to participate in the election
for the MUUG board. Those elected will serve from October 2007 until
October 2008. The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is
September 25, 2007. Instructions follow.
The MUUG board is charged with coordinating the meetings and other
events by the group. It's fun, and you get a role in guiding the group.
All MUUG members are encouraged to apply.
------------------------
MUUG Board Elections -…
[View More] Call for Nominations
Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the
main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass
any special resolutions. (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting)
Any member in good standing can be nominated to run for a position.
As of this writing, the following members of the current Board have let
their names stand for re-election:
Gilbert Detillieux Systems Analyst University of Manitoba
Michael Doob Professor University of Manitoba
Kevin McGregor Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg
Doug Shewfelt Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg
Adam Thompson Consultant athompso.net
Shawn Walbridge System Administrator Frantic Films

standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of
one other member. If you feel you would like to contribute to the group
by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so. (In
fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.)
If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter
to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board
member. The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the
nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain
the signatures of the nominee and one other member. The letter must be
received no later than September 25, 2007, which is 14 days prior to the
October 9 meeting.
Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing,
with signatures, you can speed up the process by sending us e-mail
to <election(a)muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the
signed paper copy later. In this case, please include the e-mail
address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the
message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication.
Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found here:

This may not be news to some, but (from my perspective) this is a step in
the right direction.
There has been a lot of fuss inside ibm over the years to "give" the lotus
office suite to the open source community. The main issue has been with
some code IBM does not technically own being in the various products. It
sounds like they may have found a way to make it happen...

I'm curious about what people use for video editing in Linux.
I have a Sony Mini-DV Handicam, and now with a cheap firewire card I can
pull video down onto my computer. I'd like to ultimately end up making DVDs
and short clips to share with the family and keep with the photo albums.
Kino is very simple, in fact I think it's too simple. After playing with it
for a while I think I prefer Microsoft Movie Maker. I'd have actually gone
that way (my Windows work PC is a lot faster than my Linux …
[View More]home PC) but the
Microsoft tool can't generate DVDs directly.
I've been playing with Cinelerra, which is in an entirely different league,
almost like going from mspaint to Photoshop. Lots more features, but a
bigger learning curve. In about an hour I figured out how to import the
video files, edit the cutmarks, and splice them together with transitions,
which is about all Kino can do. The kicker is to generate the final video
you have to render it -- a 75 second clip with no complex stuff is taking
over 20 minutes at DVD quality on my meager 1.8GHz P4.
Any other recommendations or observations?
Thanks,
Sean

Subject: Countdown to Ontario Linux Fest

Hello LUG-gers! Please post this to your mailing list and / or web
site! Thank you. We look forward to seeing you at Linux Fest in
October!
Cheers,
Richard and the gang.
…
[View More]Hello everybody,
The countdown is on to Ontario Linux Fest and we couldn't be more
excited. Here's some news from inside the organizing committee. Since
our last note we've added some speakers and topics, and a couple of
prominent sponsors. And a bunch more of you have registered in advance
from our registration page at http://onlinux.ca/olfreg
All of that is awesome, because we need all of those pieces in place to
build Ontario Linux Fest. We're just a touch over a month to the Fest,
so here are a few things that you need to know about.
Novell goes platinum at Ontario Linux Fest.
"Novell Canada has secured a key platinum sponsorship to further
demonstrate their commitment to GNU/Linux and Free Software," said, John
Van Ostrand of the organizing committee, "As members of the Open
Invention Network, patrons of KDE and sponsors of OpenSUSE (and dozens
of other F/LOSS contributions, Novell continues as community leaders."
We can't make Ontario Linux Fest a success without our sponsors and we
urge you to consider OLF sponsors when you are making purchasing
decisions.
Free your phone and your mind will follow.
We're very excited about the OpenMoko presentation at OLF. The recent
splash made by a proprietary phone has only tilled the soil for an Open
computer-phone. Or is that a phone-computer? Or a media player?
You'll want to catch every minute of Ian Darwin's presentation on the
OpenMoko project to find out all the details on this cool bit of
embedded hardware. We're still adding speakers as they confirm, so keep
an eye on the speakers page. We can't make Ontario Linux Fest a success
without our speakers and the F/LOSS world is a better place for their
code and projects and other contributions.
Hotel room countdown
We have discounted group rates at two hotels near the venue. If you are
joining us from out of town (or plan to stay late at the reception) you
can save by booking your room now. The Radisson is right next door to
the venue and has given us a great price for their suites. But book now
because they only offer the group rate until this Sunday 09 September.
The Doubletree is just across the street and the price for their rooms
is still good. The Doubletree group rate is valid until Wednesday, 12
September.

Attendee registration is climbing
It is gratifying to see many of you registering in advance for Ontario
Linux Fest. Attendance is climbing steadily and we know that it will
ramp-up steeply as we get closer to the event. You can help us by
starting that ramp-up now.
There is no reason to hold Ontario Linux Fest without you. It is the
community and the personalities and the networking that will make the
most lasting impressions on you at Ontario Linux Fest. It is the
conjunction of the strong local community and the influx of visiting
regional and international enthusiasts that will make OLF shine. We
look forward to seeing you at the event. Register at
