Weather-getter script for conky

1 hour 5 min ago
I had been using pymetar to do the dirty work, but wanted to see if I could

what I want.

[NORLUG] What is the best way to program in C?

1 hour 5 min ago
Hi, new part of the mailing list. I live in Farmington, and I'm trying to
learn a bit of programming. I did some reading and discovered that it would

1 hour 5 min ago
Simple question: if my_thing is a dictionary or list, will
x = my_thing*1
create a copy (rather than a reference)?

I'm aware of other methods of copying my_thing; just want to know if
the above is legit.

Caching proxy server

1 hour 5 min ago
I've a bit of a problem.
I need a caching proxy server to help reduce that nagging dial-up
feeling for my computer lab's one GPRS internet connection. I've been
using squid, but it proves to be a bit hard for a normal user to
maintain.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple caching proxy server

Simple screenshooter?

1 hour 5 min ago
Ive got a slightly-bloated LXDE install of Fedora 13 alpha to which I
would like to add a simple program (or two or even three) to capture:
1. A single window (I can do this with the script below using
ImageMagick)
2. A user-definable area of the screen
3. The whole screen
I'm trying to avoid GNOME dependencies, the 28 I have is too many.

LDC, Week 4: What is Ubuntu Minnesota?

1 hour 5 min ago
One of the things that became apparent in our recent survey is that
there are a significant number of people who aren't really sure what
"Ubuntu Minnesota" or a "LoCo" actually are, so this week I will
attempt to clarify those points and a few others. Since this also
involves our relationships with the greater Linux community locally,

Where can I find an online anti-virus that doesn't install on your PC?

1 hour 5 min ago
I've got 5 PCs that I'm trying to use to train disadvantaged young
people. The problem is they are riddled with viruses and a firewall
blocks me from updating them. The people in charge of maintaining the
PCs won't fix them or give me the admin password (Win XP) to let me
install a new or updated antivirus the centre is being shut down in a

Anyone can debug linpus or fc startup

1 hour 5 min ago
Guys I'm getting errors in any kernel I try to boot from grub. Won't
copy all my boot strings here but does anyone remember how to see the
console from the blue Acer Aspire splash screen?

This all happened after an update. If I wait long enough I believe I
boot into X with just a black screen and cursor. I think I may need to

Hello everyone, I just found NORLUG. I was briefly a part of TCLUG a
couple years ago but then I moved to Lonsdale. I use Linux as my main
OS with the exception of when I am at work. I am one of them Gentoo
guys and have preferred it for the past 5 years. Before that I was
using SUSE and Mandrake.
