I use Google Chrome, which supports letting websites send notifications as
brief pop-ups on your screen.
This works fine, except they always appear in the bottom-right corner of my
right-hand monitor. I have two monitors, and the one on the right is kind
of secondary, and the far right of it is out of my field of vision.
Does anyone know how to control where notification pop-ups appear?
I'm running KDE on Ubuntu 16.04.
Cheers
Toby
As Andrew has noted we have been kicked out of our meeting room. We are
actively looking for other options.
If you know of a meeting room we can use for minimal cost (or ideally for
free) then please let us know.
If you know of a meeting room that's available at 6:30 on the 6th of March
then let us know ASAP!!! Especially if it's not too far from the previous
meeting room. If a company is only available to provide a venue for a single
meeting then that's totally OK, anything to get us out of the current
predicament.
Andrew is actively investigating some possibilities right now. But we can't
assume he will be successfull (espectially not for next month's meeting due to
short notice). Also I can't comment on what he is persuing.
Please send any tips for commercial organisations that might provide free or
subsidised meeting space to the committee or Andrew. Such things can't be
discussed on a public list.
For future planning (IE April and beyond) I think we should at least consider
more radical options. If we were to hold the main meeting on a weekend then
the following 2 options would be available.
Red Hat have generously sponsored our meeting venue for many years. I hope
that they will continue doing so, but as they have paid the bills directly we
have no idea of how much they paid and how much they are prepared to pay in
future. So obviously a cheap venue would be preferred.

The Library at the Dock is only open until 7PM on weeknights but is open 10-5
on Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday. Sunday had free parking last time I checked.

dock/library-at-the-dock/Pages/performance-space.aspx
If LUV is a "not for profit organisation from within the City of Melbourne"
then a nice room for 120 people costs $24.50 per hour which is probably a lot
less than what Red Hat has been paying.

dock/library-at-the-dock/Pages/fees-for-bookable-spaces-library-dock.aspx
The above lists all the available spaces at the library. From a quick scan
the performance space seems most suitable and it's at least a good place to
start the discussion. But if we do choose the library then another space
might have some benefits.
Also note that the library has a cafe downstairs. It's not cheap, but having
a choice to buy slightly expensive food is better than having no choice. They
also have extensive facilities that can be used for free before or after a
meeting.

The Kathleen Syme library has a room seating 56 people "theater style" for
$10.50 per hour for "Not-for-profit in CoM municipality". It's also not far
from our previous meetings.

I have a diff file that has changes to multiple source files that I want to split
up for sending upstream. Is there a good tool for splitting this?
The ideal would be something that takes a list of source files on the command
line, and writes the diffs for them to one file and the diffs for everything else
to another.

Hi there
I need to transfer 200+ TB data from one storage server (Red Hat Linux
based) to another (FreeBSD). I am planning to use rsync with multiple
threads in a script. There are a number of suggestions on the Internet
(find + xargs + rsync), but none of them worked well so far. I also need a
reliable way to check whether all files/directories from the source server
have been copied to the destination server. Any suggestions/help would be
appreciated.
Regards
Bill
I recently had to changethe IP address of my main DNS server and forgot to
update the LUV server to allow transferring the data.
I discovered this when the cached zone data expired and my own mail server was
unable to send mail to the LUV server and a mon alert was raised about the
inability to send mail.
I've fixed the problem and configured another mon alert on DNS zones that don't
transfer.
As we had 2 servers still operating correctly at all times users would not
have noticed.

Hello All,
I have tried using Audacity on this Acer TravelMate 3230, and it will
record, until I select a USB source, in particular a turntable with
RCA and USB output. Audacity will record for a while, then stop while
signal is still coming in, and I have not found how to get it to go
on, even restarting with a bit missing is difficult. I am having some
success with a different turntable/stereo that will record to a USB
memory stick, but only as MP3.
I suspect that there may be compatability issues, including only 1.5Gb
of RAM. I know Audacity is stable and usable to do the editing, just
not the recording. A way round this is to capture the audio data
stream from the USB source, then load into Audacity to edit and cut
into tracks. I would appreciate pointers as to how to capture the data
stream other than Audacity.
Regards,
Mark Trickett
