Message-ID: <860E8C19-DFD8-402E-BBCE-E489F9AA1C54@cwis.biz> I?m trying to get exiv2 to do XMP IPTC updates to images. I know I can do this with the following command (read from a file): > exiv2 -i X filename.JPG requires having filename.xmp to reference. But the script is going to do this 200 to 300 times in a folder, maybe more, and it would make more sense to have 1 file it references. Is that possible? Any thoughts? I can create and delete the file (copy/delete, really) each time but I?d prefer to avoid that.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to advice you and you didn't even mention what distribution you're running? Guess it doesn't really matter and I don't have much for you other than suggesting looking into distributions that serve just the directory services space. There's a few of them that offer a lot of the services out of the box, I looked into this myself a while back. If it is work related they may not even let you install FOSS without some type of approval. Anyhow, my google searching skills are lacking right now and the only example I could come up is: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/openldap Sounds like this is what you need. I am sure you'll get some type of response with other perhaps better suggestions. Good luck!

It really is helpful to get an email from the various pieces of equipment when they have problems, so yes I will invest the time and just maybe learn something. Saul - I looked at your link, but if I need to use ldap, Fedora has that pre-packaged, I'll use and learn that. Ryan - looked at your link, pretty much is what I have seen googleing around the internet myself, it does have a couple of points about some things in dovecot that I will check out. Before I added dovecot, postfix was delivering email to the super user account on the server, it's just that I would like to get everything at the workstation. As for using how-tos for Ubuntu on a Fedora machine - meh, aside from some trivial differences in installing packages, and starting-up applications at boot-up, the procedures for running the applications is mostly the same (same config files). Systemd does give you some helpful data: $ sudo systemctl status postfix.service postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2015-08-02 15:25:05 CDT; 17h ago Main PID: 28200 (master) CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service ?? 2163 pickup -l -t unix -u ?? 3292 trivial-rewrite -n rewrite -t unix -u ?? 3293 smtp -t unix -u ?? 3294 bounce -z -n defer -t unix -u ?? 3463 cleanup -z -t unix -u ?? 3464 local -t unix ??28200 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w ??28202 qmgr -l -t unix -u Aug 03 09:00:09 server.atsome.com postfix/smtp[3293]: 1E03E4C03DB: to=, orig_to=, relay=none, delay=63380, delays=63380/0.02/0/0,...ute to host) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/pickup[2163]: AF0B54C05C9: uid=0 from= Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/cleanup[3463]: AF0B54C05C9: message-id=<20150803140139.AF0B54C05C9 at server.atsome.com> Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/qmgr[28202]: AF0B54C05C9: from=, size=457, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/cleanup[3463]: B96974C05C3: message-id=<20150803140139.AF0B54C05C9 at server.atsome.com> Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/qmgr[28202]: B96974C05C3: from=, size=599, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/local[3464]: AF0B54C05C9: to=, relay=local, delay=0.11, delays=0.07/0.01/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarde...B96974C05C3) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/qmgr[28202]: AF0B54C05C9: removed Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/smtp[3293]: connect to workstation.atsome.com[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]:25: No route to host Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/smtp[3293]: B96974C05C3: to=, orig_to=, relay=none, delay=0.03, delays=0.03/0/0/0, dsn=...ute to host) Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

That means that you have to create by hand every single user to be able receive and access faxes and whatnot. Or simply forward mail to your corporate inbox. My suggestion was to simply deploy a prepackaged LDAP distro that you can quickly implement in your setup. If you already have LDAP on your distribution why not use it to manage manage users, addresses and passwords? To me that's the most logical way of accomplishing what you want. And of course, there is a million ways to accomplish tasks in Linux. :) Google search --> http://acidx.net/wordpress/2014/06/installing-a-mailserver-with-postfix-dovecot-sasl-ldap-roundcube/ SDA On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 9:56 AM, Neal Zimmermann wrote: > On Sun, 2015-08-02 at 20:09 -0500, Saul Alanis wrote: > > Hey Neal- > > > > Sounds like a pretty significant task IMO and not a lot of time. > > > > I wouldn't even know where to begin to advice you and you didn't even > mention what distribution you're running? > > > > Guess it doesn't really matter and I don't have much for you other than > suggesting looking into distributions that serve just the directory > services space. > > > > There's a few of them that offer a lot of the services out of the box, I > looked into this myself a while back.

I have been using one with my MythTV for years (I have also used the native desktop app, with VLC to watch live TV from the HDHomeRun) it is the best tuner to use with mythtv (IMHO). Easy to setup, don't need to put a card/usb on a box, doesn't use resources of the MythTV system... The question is which model. I just have the basic HD Homerun connect dual turner never had issues with it. John Frisk has been using the HD Home run PRIME I believe, and has it connected to his cable. (If you are going to use the PRIME you need to talk with John he will know who/how you need to talk with comcast to get the turner card for the PRIME.) Good luck, happy to help if you have any other questions. BTW we WILL be having our annual MythTV talk at the Penguins Unbound meeting this fall, date not set yet.

If yes, you want a model that can accept a CableCard. That's the PRIME model, which can record three channels at a time . $115 at Amazon. Do you want to capture from satellite? If yes, the you don't want one of these: you need something that will take HDMI or component inputs and do something with it. A Hauppauge HD PVR 2 or something similar which can record one channel at a time. Do you want to record over the air TV? If yes, then: Do you require that you can watch it on your phone or some other device that needs to get the content via WiFi? If yes, then you must have transcoding. One can do this via transcoding on the back end (as I've been doing for years) or use the brand new option of a hardware-based transcoder in the EXTEND model (formerly known as the PLUS model) which can record and transcoder two channels at the same time. This is $195 at Amazon. If you are OK with transcoding on the back end or: Will you be watching it using frontends that can use wired Ethernet, such as an Amazon FireTV running XBMC or Kodi or a Raspberry Pi or a PC or Mac? If either of these, then you can use the cheapest model. Now known as the CONNECT (formerly known as the DUAL), this can recird two channels at the same time and is $80 from Amazon. I own three DUAL tuners. One has the newer black box and two are the older grey boxes. They are functionally equivalent. We now live in a home where I can't run Ethernet to an important room. As a test, I've purchased an EXTEND model and verified that I can watch there over WiFi. So, in selling my older DUAL tuners and upgrading to another EXTEND model. If you want to buy them, I think that $40 is a fair price. A bit about the number of devices: consider the maximum simultaneous recording channels. For OTA, you might want to record PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox at the same time. You'd need two PRIME or three over the air boxes. I've been using MythTV since 2002 and a need for five simultaneous channels has never happened to me. If you only want to record four channels at the same time, you need two devices. (I have three because I used to have a Myth box at my uncle's in Iowa. ) Hope this helps. Let me know if anyone wants to buy my old tuners.

Free and Open Source Software is the only way to go if you want to have an auditable Bios chip. You can't audit proprietary Bios chips for security because you can't even read the code they use. Anyways, if you haven't heard of Libreboot, here's some more information about it: http://libreboot.org/faq/ https://twitter.com/hashtag/libreboot Another reason why I made the transition was because I have come to love free software all the more as I get older and wiser and wanted a computer that respected my freedom. Here's some info about how the Libreboot X200 got the Free Software Foundation's Respects Your Freedom (RYF) certification: https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/gluglug Once I figured out how to flash Libreboot onto Thinkpad Bios chips I went a bit overboard and flashed too many and am now looking to sell a few of them (and take orders for more if there is an interest). I have an X200 and a T400 for sale currently. They are both very high quality machines with very little wear. As far as I understand the Libreboot X200 is only available from this online store which is based in England: http://minifree.org/product/libreboot-x200/ To ship it to Minnesota, it would end up cost a minimum of $475 for the cheapest model. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Libreboot T400 is even available to buy anywhere at all. I am looking for $275 for the X200 and $325 for the T400. If multiple people offer to pay me less, I'll sell it to whoever gives me the best offer. I live in South Minneapolis and am more than willing to meet up with you and let you check out the condition of the computers before you buy them. I'm currently running Tails on the machines, but I can install Trisquel or your prefered OS ahead of time if are confident that you'd like to buy the machines. I'm also planning on flashing a MacBook 2.1 with Libreboot in the near future if anyone is interested in buying that.

Now I'm wondering if I should buy some thermal paste and apply that. I removed the heat sink a number of times when I was testing the previous configuration. It's just running on the motherboard box so I have to put it in the case. I'm using a thumb drive to get it to boot and still have to order an ssd. The first time I tried it I didn't have to push the power button. I just flipped the switch on the power converter and the fan started spinning and so on.

This program would take as input (1) an audio file, (2) a text file with a list of images, and times and it would then play the audio file while displaying the images at the listed times. The text input might look like this: 0:00 image1.jpg 0:37 image2.jpg 1:27 image3.jpg So the audio would start with image1.jpg displayed, then at 0:37 it would switch to image2.jpg and at 1:27 it would switch to image3.jpg. I can think of a few cool bells and whistles to add to that. Does such a thing exist? Another idea would be to have the program read in that info and create a video file (e.g., MP4) that plays the audio and shows the images at the designated times. It is important to be able to use this on all common OSs like Windows, OS X and Linux. Any ideas?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20150807194514.331cf9e5@morris> If you don't need a "real" solution and are okay with something hacky, it would be pretty easy to write a bash or awk script that generates a number of copies (hard linked) of each image equal to the number of seconds it is to be displayed, naming them incrementally. Then the script could just run ffmpeg with an fps of 1 to generate the slide show. So for your example: frame0001.jpg -> image1.jpg frame0002.jpg -> image1.jpg ... frame0037.jpg -> image1.jpg frame0038.jpg -> image2.jpg ... and so on. Then a simple ffmpeg call is all you would need. -Max -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is must easier now with the motherboard out of the case. Careful of the fan and clips and make sure it is all seated properly, then check to see if you have any issues with posting. The thermal grease may not seem like it is needed now since things are working ok at first, but it will cause an issue later on if you dont use it. It is odd you can get the cpu to start up without it.

I'd be interested in something like this too - particularly if it could be played back over the web. A few years ago a Danish cousin presented a slide show at a family reunion. I got the images and had made a recording of his narration (in English the the description with the copy of the images was in Danish...) intending to share it over the net. I never found a very satisfactory way to do this. The described system would be great. Tho I failed to capture the timing and the laser pointer... I prefer the slideshow format over video because the quality of the images is generally much better.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <55C8CD47.6050401@meltel.net> One interesting approach combines the best of photofilmstrip and OpenShot video editor: Use photofilmstrip to create clip from images, then combine audio, video and images in OpenShot to create complete videoslideshow multimedia file. The neat thing about photofilmstrip is the feature that graphically allows the addition of the "Burns" effect. OpenShot makes it really easy to add an image, then move down to the track line and extend the image over a period of seconds to minutes, to coordinate with an audio clip (which sits on its' own timeline).

On a Dell 2950, you don't set up RAID in the BIOS. As the server boots, you should see a message about the RAID controller. If you have a PERC controller, you'll have the opportunity to press Ctrl-R to get into the RAID controller. If it's Adaptec, Ctrl-A. I think all of the 2950 have at least a PERC 6 but I could be wrong. Once you're in the RAID utility, you'll have to wipe out the config of the existing RAID. You will likely have to import the foreign configuration, then clear the foreign configuration before you can build a RAID 1. Hopefully that's enough info to get you into the interface and start figuring out the RAID setup. Google is your friend, the 2950s have been around for some time and are very well documented.

You would think that how to do all this would be somewhat readily available, not so. There are lots of questions from people that have (by their being new to the system and it not having been sold retail for at least a few years) issues with setting up things. Then the documentation that Dell provides is sort of useless. Even the help files often refer to your user manual and that had diddly squat useful in it! Thanks for the help!!

OMV looks very impressive but with these plugins (and on the sides) there is a tremendous amount that needs to be setup and if its not right - - - well let's just say things are interesting. I have found over the years that man pages and tech docs for Linux, GNU and the like are written for those that really do know what they are doing and merely need a reminder to remember how to EXACTLY write something or set that something up so that a desired result happens. Now to the rest of us who use these tools and have not spent years memorizing C, C++, C#, Python, perl, sql are don't consider these our mother tongue the docs are most often less than useful and too many times less than comprehensible (one of the biggest lacks is examples of good and bad usage of commands). I have learnt my way around certain things and have almost gotten comfortable doing things 'under the hood' but being faced with all of the first paragraph (adding in remote server VirtualBox vms at the very least) is a wee bit daunting. Have found official docs but these assume a lot and as soon as there is something that doesn't work exactly as expected - - - well - - - I'm supposed to know how to modify things (by osmosis I think!). Does anyone out there have suggestion(s) on how to guides for setup, modification and learning at least the first 3 listed? I would be very grateful to find (have already spent many hours looking for how to do things using duckduck) some straightforward guides. When I try to look for something specific like Apache2.2 - - - well all too often its for 2.0 or 2.4 or its 8 years old and nothing in Debian 8 is even similar (different file names for example). I have been trying to keep a log enumerating what I am doing so that hopefully my experiences will be useful for some for at least a short while.

Here's a decent article: https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/apache/apache-web-server-debian-8 Sometimes you need to be more specific in your searches.

They test fine, and store anything but jpegs from the phone's camera with no problems. Doesn't seem to matter whether I format them in the phone or in plugged into my PC's USB. File checks, etc in the PC always are OK. The camera in my Galaxy S2 would take pictures and display them, but I could not send them of access them via USB from my PC. They would soon become impossible to display. I could see file names and file sizes, but no images. I was told it was a problem with the card, but no test I ran, nor substituting an identical card would change the behavior. As said above, other stuff including jpegs put on the card(s) via USB were OK and long-lasting. I think I had saved a few jpegs received in the phone as attachments, and they were OK also. Card and phone checks were all OK, including backup and restore operations. Changed to a Galaxy S5 and had the very same camera behavior on those cards. Did the checks and backup/restore operations again and no improvement in ability of the phone to take and store photos on the Micro Center cards. Searched the web many times and consulted with Sprint tech support several times. Nothing seeming relevant on the web, and the not-so-bright tech support folk online and in stores said the card is bad, but no test can find a fault or fix a corrupted photo (even though file sizes etc seem OK). Discovered that the Samsung Galaxy S5 can accept bigger microSD cards (128gb max), so got a Samsung class 10 64gb microSDXC "EVO" card and populated it from a backup of the smaller card. The Samsung card seems to have no problem with photos taken by the S5's camera, but cannot display older corrupt photos from the S2's camera that were in the backup file and thus on the new Samsung card. Tests via my PC of the Samsung card show no problem as was the case for the earlier cards. Nothing I can find or do seems to show why the Samsung card is "better" and OK. Did I forget the spunkwater and magic words needed to use brand-X cards in a Samsung Galaxy phone? Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please come join us and help spread the word to anyone else that might want to attend. While we welcome everyone to attend, even if they only bring pen a notepad to write notes, we greatly encourage attendees to bring their phones, tablets, and laptops along so we can help them install and use encrypted platforms and test the platforms out with the other attendees. To this end, anyone caught trying to exploit other attendees devices without their explicit consent will be asked to leave. August 30th is the date and The Hack Factory is the place. CryptopartyMN will be hosting our third cryptoparty from 1-5pm this Sunday. Our plan is to cover how to email, chat, and browse the web securely. We can also help you encrypt your hard drives and use tools to communicate securely with mobile devices. We have people familiar with Windows, Linux, OSX, Android, and iOS on hand to help you along the way. This is a BYOB event and we will also have a limited amount of free keg beer brewed here in Minneapolis for those who are 21+ with valid ID. Location: The Hack Factory 3119 East 26th Street Minneapolis, MN 55406 http://www.tcmaker.org Date: Sunday, August 30, 2015 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM CryptoParty (Crypto-Party) is a grassroots global endeavor to introduce the basics of practical cryptography such as the Tor anonymity network, PGP email encryption, hard drive full disk encryption and Off The Record (OTR) encrypted chat to the general public. The project primarily consists of a series of free public workshops. This will be CryptoParty Minnesota's third free public workshop, at which we expect to have roughly 10 presenters and 50 attendees. https://www.cryptopartymn.com/ https://www.cryptoparty.in/minneapolis IRC: #cryptopartymn on OFTC.net Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/cryptopartymn If you plan on attending, we?d appreciate it if you RSVP here: http://tinyurl.com/qj4fds8 Best, Cassie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In my situation, I would have expected to observe more of an "interference" phenomenon taking place. At any rate, I did take advantage of the opportunity to file FCC complaint, in case there are shenanigans going on with the airwaves we own. :) Tom On 08/31/2015 08:47 AM, kelly wrote: > > Could be this?: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_propagation > > Kelly Black > KB0GBJ > > Mon Aug 31 2015 08:18:00 AM CDT from "Tom" > Subject: Re: [tclug-list] ota signal snafu question > Hi, Rhubarbpieguy: Nice to know I'm not alone.

I am a big rhubarb pie fan as well. :) > I live in Sioux Falls, SD and use a DIY Gray-Hoverman DB4 design mounted in a corner window. I commonly receive CBS (KMEG) and NBC (KTIV) from Sioux City. However, over the weekend I lost Sioux City NBC but received ABC (KCAU). However, I also received NBC (WOW) from Omaha. That's quite far for OTA. Your Chicago reception surpasses mine from Omaha, which is surprising. If you're still receiving ABC from Chicago I would bet that will disappear soon. In the early 90's I subscribed to subscription television to avoid ghosting and because NBC dropped baseball. But I gladly dropped cable/satellite when DTV arrived as there's no longer ghosting. I do miss ESPN baseball, but I subscribe to MLB audio and receive every game for $20/year. I prefer listening over watching games anyway. Unfortunately, rhubarb pie is a rarity in Sioux Falls. When I lived in Minneapolis it could be found. You can find strawberry/rhubarb pie, but diluting a perfectly good rhubarb pie with strawberry leaves me cold. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At this point I think I know what went wrong. I would like to try to fix it so that I can upgrade the Ubuntu LTS version -- I'm still using 12.04.5 LTS. See the output below from df, parted -l, /proc/mdstat and /etc/fstab. There is a /boot directory, but that is in the / partition. The /boot partition is not mounted and it isn't in the RAID1. I have been doing software updates, and kernels have been installed, but the only one I can boot from is the one I installed originally. I assume that since the /boot partition isn't mounted, the dozen or so kernels I see are in the /boot directory in the / partition, and there are 341 MB of files in there now. I'm hoping there is a way to get the appropriate files into the /boot partition, get that mounted, get rid of the /boot directory in the / partition and have the /boot partition mirrored on the two drives. Is there hope? Do any of you know how I should proceed?
