Hi all (sorry for various tests, had forgotten which email account I use to
subscribe to this list)
At present, I have a (3.5" sata) drive connected to my Ubuntu machine via
one of those docking station things - I couldn't be bothered opening up the
case at the time and as it's only a media ser
Hi all
I'm thinking of resurrecting an old PC for retro gaming. Before I get
going, need a few questions answered. I have such a machine (P-IV, 512Mb
RAM, decent enough graphics) but it's circa 2004.
1)I've not powered it on in years, but the CR2032 mobo battery is almost

Hi all
Is DAT still a viable backup medium if you want USB and to avoid optical
disks?
I've got about 8Tb to backup and for various reasons don't fancy: LTO,
BluRay, Cloud or HDD (i.e. NAS). I know DAT's quite old (and I might even
be forced to use DAT160 because of cost) but if it'll do
age, but a friendly neighbour who would reciprocate may also be an
option.
I tend to use Unison for cloning from one machine to another.

Hi all
When "should" a USB device (an Icybox JBOD 4 bay DAS in this case) power
down? Most (ymmv) USB devices (keyboards, mice etc) are powered from the
host if they're not powered from a powered hub. Last night, in response to
the recent samba vulnerability [1], I patched then powered down
Hi all
After a recent power outage here overnight, one of my servers failed to boot
and went into emergency mode (Ubuntu 16.04) with no amount of fsck getting
me out of trouble. After a lot of faffing with fstab (it has about 5
drives attached to it) I've found the UUID of the failing drive.

Hi all
Has anyone had any success running minidlna? For the life of me, I can't
see what I'm doing wrong. It's installed and according to

it seems to be running ok but I can't see it either on the server's file

Hi all
Simple question (I hope). If I'm opening port x from ip address y on my
network with the following command
sudo ufw allow from y to any port x
.then where does the "any" come from? Anyone know? Seems strange to say
"any port" then list the port number - unless I've misunder

Hi all
I can't explain this - perhaps someone else can. I have a 2TB 3.5" ext4

threw out more "short read" errors than I could count. I left it ru

Hi all
Does anyone know of a clever video "upscaler" which converts very low res
(i.e. text) VGA to HDMI. I have a lot of still working old kit which is
outputting VGA. The trouble is the BIOS screen (these are nigh on 10 years
old machines) is not UEFI, it's still text mode VGA. I have t
t of an Advanced PhD project. To upgrade the entire cluster
to newer machines (even if they weren’t completely new) would still be funds
than I can spare.

Thanks but in this case it was writing to a brand new tape. Should I have
run an erase before starting even on such a tape?
Thx
