Re: [BLUG] Intrepid login at ivy tech problems

Hi Jim,

I'm neither an Eee owner nor an Ubuntu (or Mint) user, but I'll do what
I can.

First, I presume you're talking about using Firefox to display a
specific webpage to login to the wi-fi. Is that correct? If not, what
browser and version are you using, and what exactly is the error you are
getting? Do you get a blank page? A warning from the access point? A
warning from the browser saying the page isn't there? When you go to the
portal page and it doesn't display, can you do "View Source" and see the
HTML source for the portal page?

Also, are there any add-ons that could be getting in the way? NoScript
breaks pages frequently and requires you to manually whitelist pages.
Are you using the same version of Firefox through all these tests? It's
possible the portal refuses to work with "unsupported" browsers (I think
the concept of "supported browsers" is total BS, but that's a rant for
another time).

Have you tried a different browser?

[BLUG] Intrepid login at ivy tech problems

OK i am pulling my hair out on this one. A friend of mine is a IVY tech student and i cant get his laptop running linux mint felicia (ubuntu 8.10 based) to display the portal page. It shows as connected and brings up a page to redirect to the login portal but will not display the portal page.

I even tried 3 diffrent versions of intrepid (Eeebuntu on my eeepc 900a), (stock ubuntu on my eeepc 900a) and (stock ubuntu 8.10 live cd on his laptop).

My eeepc 701 running Gos and linux mint elyssa both ubuntu 8.04 based works fine it seems to be only 8.10 thats haveing a problem.

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. I really dont want to reinstall his laptop with a 8.04 based distro if i dont have to but its looking like thats the only fix for now.


Thanks for any help offered.

P.S. On a side note anyone wanting to disscuss any of the educational stuff let me know.

[BLUG] on-demand macros in Nagios

I thought I'd ask someone here. Have any of you ever used on-demand
macros in Nagios? I wanted to try to use them so that I can easily
change the SNMP community string for certain hosts without having to use
a different set of service checks. Thanks.

Mark

[BLUG] Fwd: Doodle: Link for poll "When should BLUG/BBUG LAN Party be?"

As suggested, below is the link to the Doodle poll on what Saturday
would work best for the BLUG/BBUG (Blender) LAN Party. I put more than
2 weekends there just in case some people want to do this much later.

I'll be sending out another poll about the party later in regards to
participation.

Thanks for taking the poll,
Mark

Re: [BLUG] Linux LanParty/Linux Fest

I also want to avoid the 11th-12th because that's in the middle of
Passover and the dietary rules I follow get really wonky.
The 18th works best for me.

How about we set up another doodle.com poll to pick a weekend?

Re: [BLUG] Linux LanParty/Linux Fest

Okay. I've double-checked it with my wife.

I can join in the party as long as it isn't on Easter Weekend. That's
April 11-12.

I'm game any other weekend, however I do like the idea of avoiding the
weekend of Little 500 -- particularly as we're doing this downtown.

Is April 18th still looking good for folks?

Cheers,
Steven Black
