Mixed results with Linux 5.1
by Duncan Roe 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi all, Following Andrew's exhortations at the last main meeting, I built 5.1 and installed it on my laptop. My 3 AMD GPU bugs are all fixed! Very impressive, since I haven't had any Bugzilla email about them for months. At least, I suppose they're fixed: the symptoms don't show any more. On checking logs I saw 1 Oops (from 3 boots), and it looked similar to the ones I used to see all the time. Confidently I installed 5.1 as my default desktop system. This was a disaster. The system came up to the login prompt very quickly, without changing from the initial terminal font to a smaller one as it usually did. There was a message from INIT that "SV" was respawning too quickly. When I supplied user name and password, I just got the login prompt again. I went back to 5.0 and checked what was in debug.log (which logs everything). And there was nothing at all! No hint that 5.1 had ever started - just a 7 minute gap between the last 5.0 shutdown and 5.0 starting. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to report this - does anyone have a suggestion? Cheers ... Duncan. ======================= Have you seen this email before? Please mail me off-list if so. I originally sent this on 13th May but didn't see it come back. Cheers ... Duncan.

The Truth About Southeast Linuxfest | Ask Noah Show 80
by Andrew McGlashan 19 Jun '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, This AskNoah episode from last August is well worth listening to in full; especially if you are involved in organizing events, but even if you are not. There is a lot of gold in this. And yes, it goes for about 2 and half hours, but listening to it at 1.5x speed was fine for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqB2mRKmdM4 Here's the quick /first part/ of the YT video's description: Published on Aug 9, 2018 There has been a lot of rumors lately about Southeast Linuxfest. Outside pressure has been exerted in an effort to force the leadership of SELF to do things not in the best interest of the attendees but to push a political agenda. Tonight Jeremy Sands the conference organizer comes exclusively on the Ask Noah Show to share with us the dirty laundry and how SELF is fighting back! - -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEAREIAB0WIQTJAoMHtC6YydLfjUOoFmvLt+/i+wUCXQU6pgAKCRCoFmvLt+/i ++GVAP9/mhhJn4Dn2x41YzKpkWz6r8OgJhbTIAQhKap6vRceRQEAqwHM9g/2ELv4 ybADM5zlnzldmdb/rW9+Vcd+JFYipqM= =5DXN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Monitoring swap
by Russell Coker 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

I wrote a mon script to monitor swap use because catching systems when memory use gets excessive before they go Oom is a good thing. When I deployed it I was notified of one of my servers which had 99% of the 2G of swap used but also 7G of "buff/cache" memory according to top and seemed to be running nicely like that. Would it give a better result to ignore the amount of swap in use and instead monitor the percentage of RAM used for buff/cache? -- Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 with K-9 Mail.

Images fro DSLR to the cloud
by Andrew Greig 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Hi All. My camera takes a full size SD card and in my travels I want to send my RAW files to my Google Drive. I want to conserve weight so I would like to use My Galaxy TAB S to handle the upload. It does not use a full size SD Card so I was hoping that someone on this list is doing the same thing. I will be taking a pocket Wireless Modem for use with a data plan and sim in the destination country. Hoping for 4G. Any clues would be gratefully applied. Andrew Greig
