Hard drive failure - turned out to be an SSD
by Frank H 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hey guys, When my friend game me his failed hd it is an SSD. System sees it but can't open See attached video for the sound it is making. Hope 16GB isn't too big. I know odds are low but just have to ask if anyone has any ideas. Freezing SSDs is not a thing correct? Sure sounds like moving parts to me. Never troubleshot an SSD before. Thanks,Frank

Mail server config on Ubuntu (Postfix?)
by Kevin McGregor 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

I'm trying to configure Postfix on Ubuntu 18.04LTS. It's working, in the basic sense, but not doing everything I want. I've read some of the config help and examples, but I'm still not clear on what to do. For each Ubuntu server I manage, I'd like these to work: user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user2 <message-body user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user2@ubuntu <message-body user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user2(a)ubuntu.mydomainname <message-body user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user3@myotherdomainname <message-body I hope that's clear. Or mail -s "Test" jdoe mail -s "Test" jdoe@server678 mail -s "Test" jdoe(a)server678.domain1.org ...which would all deliver email locally to this server (server678) and the last one would be for mail which is destined for any other user NOT on this server but in domain2 (domain1 and domain2 are both internal workplace domains), and which will have to go through a relay host to get anywhere: mail -s "Test" santa394(a)domain2.org I don't know if I've made myself clear. Ask questions and I'll try to clarify what I want. Kevin

FYI: office closing - equipment for sale
by Adam Thompson 21 Jun '18

Hi, all: I got this from an old employer - they're downsizing their office and getting rid of some equipment. If you're interested in making a serious offer for any of it, email Cary Mahussier <cmahussier(a)doncarsys.com>. Yes, I know some of them are old, but apparently all still in good working order. Sales are presumably AS-IS unless you make other arrangements with Cary. -Adam Thompson -------- Original Message [edited for clarity & compactness] -------- Here are the specs . Everything is ready to go now as we are moving next week. Here is a link to the DP2330 copier. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/printer/om/dp-2330-fax&net_en_om.pdf We do not have any of the side attachments.

MUUG Meeting, June 12, 7:30pm -- Perl PDF::Reuse, RTFM: Pioneer
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Perl PDF::Reuse Brad Vokey will give a brief demonstration of how to mass produce similar (but not identical) PDF documents in Perl by re-using a starting PDF file as a template. Perl::Reuse is very fast, and gives you the capacity to produce many PDF pages per second creating very big PDF documents if necessary. RTFM: Pioneer Pioneer - A game of lonely space adventure - will be demonstrated by Trevor Cordes. Not just a game, Pioneer is a full-blown space simulator with realistic Newtonian physics. After you figure out how to not crash into planets or over-shoot space stations by mega-kms; explore the planets and other star systems, work as a trader to make a few bucks, or arm up and become a pirate or assassin. Beautiful spacescapes make this a demo worth seeing! The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ******************************************************************* Please note our new meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets. Look for signage once you're at the building, or ask a security guard. ******************************************************************* For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their web server: https://muug.ca/ Help us promote this month's meeting, by putting this poster up on your workplace bulletin board or other suitable public message board: https://muug.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Manitoba UNIX User Group E-mail: <gedetil(a)muug.ca> c/o Gilbert E.
