[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu UK website hack day
Hi all, Some of us have been tinkering with the new LoCo team website which can currently be found at http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org It now has a slightly broken map thing http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/where-are-we/ which we can hack into a less broken state, it has links to the IRC channel logs http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/todays-chatter/ and embedded live webchat http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/join-the-conversation/ There is a scrappy looking twitter feed follower on the right and the recipes section is coming along nicely. http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/category/recipes/ There is even an article about the christmas party (please come along!) http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/2010/11/20/christmas-party/ We need to do some work to clean things up and make it all shiny and functional so I am proposing a hack day on Friday 10th December where we meet up in the #ubuntu-uk on IRC (use an IRC client or http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/join-the-conversation ) and work together on it. Anyone can join in, no previous experience required however we do want to keep the quality standards nice and high. Off the top of my head the tasks break down as follows: Writing content about the team and events - requires a good standard of English, with grammar, spelling, punctuation etc. CSS tweaks to make it look pretty - requires some knowledge of CSS Fixing the map and adding any other functionality we think of - some knowledge of PHP and Wordpress might be handy. See you on the 10th, or if you want to get started before then ask for a user account in the IRC channel.

Something like this [1] should do the trick, even includes a tiny bit of future-proofing. I don't expect to see many new boards coming out which support AM2.

I think it is up to you to check the specs before you buy it. Looking at the link it took me about 3 seconds to confirm that it does have onboard graphics.

Though recently looking at Scan, they seem to be getting rid of the AM2(+) Hardware... Failing that, sometimes if you ring Aria and badger them you can get stuff delivered cheaper than it says on the website. -- Regards, Kris Douglas.

[ubuntu-uk] PCI dialup modems ....
Hi there On the odd occasion I have found it useful to have a dialup modem. The one I used to use (a USB modem) is a winmodem and very much in the unsupported category. I dug out a couple of old PCI modems and tried those. Both identify as supported 'Linmodems' using scanModem. I got the suggested package and installed hsfmodem from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/install.php This looked promising and recognised the modems - BUT the builtin diagnostics tell me that the latest kernel I'm using doesn't support the required module. I take this to mean that it would mean compiling a custom kernel to make use of what is now obviously cobwebby software and a couple of fairly cobwebby bits of hardware. Is there an easy way of adding what I need? (Something silly like adding 'winmodem' to /etc/modules or would I be better binning the old PCI winmodems and spending £8 or £9 on a Linux-compatible USB modem?

If you're looking at processing relatively low volumes, then perhaps you could consider gammu? It's in the repos, and works relatively well for submitting/receiving through a GSM modem (in the limited tests I ran). Alternatively, kannel may be the thing you want. It is mature software (can be found in the repos) and I have used it to connect to operators over SMPP, but not through modems. Kannel supports receipt/submission through GSM modems. I have been on their mailing list a while, and it's an active product, with development ongoing and a good level of email support. matt -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] i need a new motherboard

Looks like it supports DDR2 and DDR3 memory which is handy, means you can upgrade to DDR3 memory if your CPU supports it (the newer AM3 CPUs will, so Phenom II, Athlon II). I was a bit surprised really to see that standard AM2+ boards (DDR2 only) are getting hard to come by now.
