From handyman at california.com Wed Oct 11 17:38:35 2000 From: handyman at california.com (Dan) Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 17:38:35 -0700 Subject: [buug] CODE FOR THE REVOLUTION: indybay.org needs a little help Message-ID: <00101118142701.01080@noname.nodomain.nowhere> Hi gang, I've been to a couple of the buug meetings and was hoping to find one last Thursday, but didn't find anyone at the cafe, so I'm writing this email. Indybay.org (http://www.indybay.org) the San Francisco Area Independent Media Center (IMC), needs a little nelp from a bsd unix programmer familiar with multimedia set up on a server. A bit of background. The IMC movement began in Seattle to cover the WTO meetings and protests last November. It is part of a global grassroots movement to challenge corporate. In less then a year more than 25 have sprung up around the world, generally just in time for an event of international signigance. In the Bay Area this event was the National Association of Broadcasters was the event. While our has been functional since March, it was down to the wire to get new features up and running. We are hosted by Transbay. Our volunteer programmers and Eric of Transbay have done tremondous job with getting our site up, but a few details hang out. 1. Darwin, the public domain Quciktime server has been installed on Transbay, but it's not available as one of the options on the indybay web site. 2. We have a great public access "publish" page for putting up text, pictures, audio and video, but are limited to a 2 MB file size, even though our intent was (and our site says) 100MB. The php config file on the server needs to be editied. 3. We need to sort out the best way to create and put up "RealPlayer" streaming video. The free Real Server (for up to 25 streams) is installed on Transbay and various versions of media cleaner and real producer are being used to create files. The question is, how best to use Surestream and/or single stream to get the best video for 56k and under while maintaing a small file size. Seems like this doesn't need to take a lot of time. My quess is two hours max. Meeting onsite at Transbay seems like it would be the most informative for all who can make it, especially indymedia.org folks. Please let me know if someone can help.

I can probably help with #2, but I don't have any experience setting up multimedia servers, so I wouldn't be much help with #1 or #3.

Their use of various technologies to "track" users seems to be the exact sort of thing that the IMC should be fighting, not encouraging and "supporting." QuickTime supports streaming. It would seem to me that you'd be better off migrating your Real content over to QuickTime, and producing all future content in QT. I am not aware of any open-source video streaming software that's widely supported, but I'm sure Rick will chime in if there is one and I've forgotten it. -Fedl From rick at linuxmafia.com Thu Oct 12 15:14:30 2000 From: rick at linuxmafia.com (Rick Moen) Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 15:14:30 -0700 Subject: [buug] CODE FOR THE REVOLUTION: indybay.org needs a little help In-Reply-To: ; from feedle@feedle.net on Thu, Oct 12, 2000 at 02:58:44PM -0700 References: <00101118142701.01080@noname.nodomain.nowhere> Message-ID: <20001012151430.C27995@linuxmafia.com> begin Feedlebom quotation: > I am not aware of any open-source video streaming software that's widely > supported, but I'm sure Rick will chime in if there is one and I've > forgotten it. Nope. It's a reasonable bet that the Ogg Vorbis people will produce one, when they're done with the excellent Ogg sound system. -- Cheers, "Open your present...."

What you will need is one NIC for each computer, an additional NIC for the firewall/router PC, a network hub, and of course cabling. So if you have 3 PC's and a firewall/router PC, you will need 5 NICs, a hub, and the associated cabling. You will want to set it up like this: [ DSL Modem ] || || [ Router PC ] || || [ Network Hub ] || || \=================`\ || \==========\ || || || || [ PC #1] [ PC #2] [ PC #3] You will want to setup NAT (Network Address Translation, also called IP Masquerading). See the HOWTO that someone else pointed out. To make managing your network easier, you will probably want to setup a DHCP server. There is a HOWTO for this as well; it is most likely referenced in the NAT HOWTO. If any of this is unclear, feel free to ask further questions. -Jon From zk_lists at yahoo.com Thu Oct 19 00:41:49 2000 From: zk_lists at yahoo.com (Zeke Krahlin) Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 00:41:49 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [buug] Help Restore Deja.com's Usenet Archives Message-ID: <20001019074149.14668.qmail@web5504.mail.yahoo.com> I grew accustomed to counting on Deja.com (formerly Dejanews.com) as a reliable reference for tracking down and harvesting past Usenet articles.

I live in El Cerrito, and I have DSL through PacBell. Have you called them to see if you can get DSL? If you want to setup servers, I'd go with their Enhanced plan, with 5 IPs.

After three months, they finally showed up, installed the service, and just couldn't make it work. They left the equipment here, and for the following two weeks the service was always off. Their software was terrible, and kept crashing the machines. Finally after two weeks, I called them to come take it out. It worked once for two hours, and that was the end of it. It took them another two weeks to come and take it away. And that was after I threatened that if they didn't come to take the equipment by that time, I would take it out of the machine myself and leave it on the street for them. Since then, everytime I call another ISP, I'm told that the ports through PacBell are not available for a while, and that I would have to wait for another 4-7 weeks. > > Any suggestions/alternatives? > > If that doesn't work, there's always dialup...

First, >how can I use the distfiles on the cdrom to install programs. And how do I >configure my Diamond Supra Express 56K External modem so that I can get to >the internet? For the modem question, you need to edit /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to something along the following lines: default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \ OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" allow users your_local_username my_isp: set phone 1234567 set authkey your_password set authname your_remote_username set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin: \\U word: \\P ==> ppp" set timeout 600 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR enable dns This assumes the modem speaks AT commands and is plugged into the first serial port. Change /dev/cuaa0 to /dev/cuaa1 if you've got it plugged into the second serial put. Substitute your local username for "your_local_username" above, your username at your ISP for "your_remote_username", your ISP's phone number for "1234567", and your password with your ISP for "your_password". In general it's not a really good idea to put the password in here, but it depends on the circumstances of who will be using the machine, and what the consequences of losing this password are. The line you'll almost certainly need to tailor is the "set login" line. The one above looks for the string "ogin:" and sends the username, then look for the string "word:" and sends the password, then looks for "==>" then sends the command "ppp". To figure out what these should be, start ppp by running: ppp my_isp then type "term" at the prompt, and dial manually: ATDT123456 or whatever your ISP's phone number is. Then look and see what the prompts are in your particular case. Once you've got all this configured, you should be able to type: ppp my_isp and at the prompt type "dial" and it should connect. You'll know it's worked when all the lowercase p's have turned into uppercase P's. Hope this helps!

Is there anything in Linux that's equivalent to "sar" (System Activity Report) in UNIX. I need to use the information from sar utility but could not find anything related or similar. Would you be so kind and tell me if it is available, where to find it, or where to look for help. Is there any system routines that I can call (with a quick C program) to retrieve these kind of information? Many thanks, Jiin ----- End forwarded message ----- From feedle at feedle.net Mon Oct 30 12:17:00 2000 From: feedle at feedle.net (Feedlebom) Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 12:17:00 -0800 (PST) Subject: [buug] Feedle's Laptop Saga...

You can certainly have sar on Linux, if you want. There's an implementation included in S?bastien Godard's "sysstat" package, which I vaguely recall being included in most Linux distributions, or you can download it from the Net and compile it: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/ Most Linux admins use the foo-stat utilities, instead of sar: netstat, lpstat, iostat, vmstat... and a whole lot of small tools of various sorts. -- Cheers, "Teach a man to make fire, and he will be warm Rick Moen for a day.

Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 20:14:18 -0500 (EST) Subject: [buug] Stumped with Cable modem Message-ID: Hello all, Was wondering if someone from around the area has any experience with configuring the ATT Cable Modem. I was able to ping my ethernet card and it replied, but when I try to configure my DNS server or anything outside of the card, I get an error, or it just sits there. I get a 100% packet loss. Thanks! Lilly PS: When and where are the meetings now? I know they were at Au Coquelait. I'd like to show up at some of them if I can.
