The wealth of available online content can mean that a TV sits in the corner gathering dust and the monthly subscription to a set-top box service just goes to waste. Such was the case for Alex Yoo of Dos Owls, so he got rid of both. Though quite liberating, he missed being able to sit back on the sofa and watch a movie on a big screen TV. He turned to a hefty projector and connected computer, but fighting through the cable spaghetti and dealing with issues like overheating prompted him to try and find another way. And so the idea for Odin was born – a pocket-sized projector with its own computer running Android KitKat, and packing built-in speakers, Wi-Fi and a battery.Read More
Even though music-driven games like Rock Band and Just Dance could see you engage in epic contests with friends and family, you still spend much of the time looking at a screen rather than truly interacting with fellow players. The only display needed for the Interactive Music Battle system from Paris-based phonotonic is an iPad screen to choose from banks of sounds. After that, motion sensors convert player moves into music – one providing the rhythm and the other the melody.Read More
Running on and off since 1970, Britain's Glastonbury Festival is famous for hosting such acts as David Bowie, The Who, Coldplay, and Beyoncé. It's also famous for its sea of mud and streams flowing through tents thanks to the typical English weather. This year, high tech meets the bucolic at the Festival as visitors are greeted by a herd of life-sized, glass-fiber cows that double as free Wi-Fi hotspots to keep them connected.Read More
Headquartered in the US, with R&D in Montpelier, France, Voxtok is currently putting the final touches to what's described as a new generation of Hi-Fi equipment. The company's Hi-Fi system is made up of a VXK Capsule that acts as both audiophile-grade music player and home music server, a mobile device app for remote control and more, and a dedicated cloud service for music library backup and playback while out and about. Two generations of prototypes have been developed, and a pre-production run of alpha units secured. Now Voxtok is looking for crowdfunding success to get its end-to-end solution into the hands of music lovers.Read More

Streaming digital music around the home can be a lesson in compromise, offering convenience at the expense of fidelity. British high end audio specialist Naim says that its Muso system is different, claiming it delivers "a carefully engineered step up in sound quality and concentrates on creating the best possible experience for the listener whilst still being simple to set up and use." Taking design cues from its £125,000 (US$210,000) Statement home amplification system, but thankfully not costing quite as much, the aluminum-clad Muso treats each of its six speakers to its own digital amp for 450 W of combined power and supports the playback of high resolution WAV, FLAC and AIFF audio files.

Stop Out have provided the biggest upset in the opening round of the Chatham Cup, eliminating three-times champions Western Suburbs on Saturday.
Wests, who most recently won the national knockout competition in 2007, are currently mid-table in the top-flight Central League, while Stop Out are languishing in eighth in the second-tier Capital Premier division.
But all that counted for nought as Stop Out's Martin Packer scored one cracking goal and one lucky one in a 3-1 triumph at Hutt Park.
"We definitely entered with hopes of winning it," said delighted Stop Out co-coach Scott Easthope, whose brother Blair was sent off midway through the second half.
"That made things tough but that's probably about the point we changed the game and really took hold of it. The other 10 worked a bit harder and we scored with 10 so it probably had a positive effect which is odd but how it panned out."
Wests also finished the game with 10 men and Easthope said the visitors "looked far from impressed" after the final whistle.
"As you would expect, to be fair. A Central League club are never going to enjoy losing to a Premier club."
Packer bent the ball inside the far post from outside the box for his first goal while his second came direct from a corner.
"To be fair he was probably a little bit lucky but you take them all," Easthope said.
"He was trying to swing it in right on top of the keeper and it went over him and in."
Stop Out now wait for the identity of their next opponent in the June 4 second round.
The Lower Hutt club is not a stranger to Chatham Cup success – having lifted it way back in 1956 – and while they are a long way from returning to those glory days, Easthope said they were moving in the right direction.
"It's a fantastic club, the last few years they've really made a big push and a bit of a plan to go forward. We've had a bit of a disappointing start to the league and that was a lot of the motivation around the game. In the Chatham Cup you get tempted to try a few things, in a low-risk environment, where maybe a few people don't expect you to win. But we went with a full strength lineup in the hope that a good performance would help turn the season around. We're hopeful that that will happen because we're working really hard at the moment."
Player-coach Steve Gulley was Stop Out's other goalscorer on Saturday.
Upper Hutt City also knocked out a Central League side with a 2-0 win over Tawa while Lower Hutt City beat bitter rivals Petone 2-1 thanks to Andrew Coad's extra-time winner.
Waterside Karori beat Brooklyn Northern United 4-1, Wellington United defeated University 1-0, Olympic outclassed Wainuiomata 4-0, Miramar Rangers overcame North Wellington 2-0 and Island Bay United swept aside Seatoun 6-0.
Defending champions Wairarapa United had a first round bye, as did Inglewood, Maycenvale United, Napier City Rovers, Palmerston North Marist and Wanganui City.
Meanwhile, Auckland City will again fly the Oceania flag at the FIFA Club World Cup after beating Tahitian opponents Tefana 3-1 on aggregate in the O-League final.
Auckland beat Tefana 1-0 in Papeete yesterday after their 2-1 home win in the first leg.
Spanish striker Manel Exposito scored the only goal yesterday to wrap up the competition's golden boot, but Auckland had to endure a nervy ending after Alex Feneridis was dismissed midway through the second half.
Auckland receive a minimum US$500,000 for qualifying for the Club World Cup.

DEFINITION of 'Workable Indication'
A nominal quote in the municipal bond market at which price a dealer is willing to either buy or sell a particular issue. This differs from a firm quote as revisions to the offer are allowed within a specified time period, usually one hour. Municipal bond dealers can also give out 'firm-with-recall' quotes that can be good for roughly the next hour, and then recalled.

Azerbaijan to stage play on Kitabi Dada Qorqud in Turkey
10 May 2014 [09:55] -
The staff of Azerbaijan State Academic National Drama Theater will participate in the international festival "Bin nefes bir ses" in the Turkish city of Konya.
The seventh festival hosts theater groups from Azerbaijan, Iraq and Kazakhstan along with Turkey. Ten plays would be staged at the event, which is held on May 4-14.
Theatre director Israfil Israfilov has suggested a meeting of heads of Turkic states theaters to stage plays based on the chapters of the ancient epos the book of Dede Gorgud (Kitabi Dada Qorqud).
Azerbaijani theater will present the play "Ilahi oyun" (Divine's game) based on the chapter about Dirse khan's son Bugaj of the ancient epos the book of Dede Gorgud (Kitabi Dada Qorqud) on May 10.
Kitabi Dada Qorqud is a grandiose monument of art, reflecting the history of Azerbaijani people.
Honored Artists Vidadi Hasanov, Parviz Mammadrzayev, actors Nigar Gulahmedova and Novruz Novruzlu are engaged in the performance. The play is produced by Mikayil Mikayilov, art director is Mustafa Mustafayev, musical arrangement is prepared by Amid Gasimov, and lighting designer is Rafael Hasanov.
The Book of Dede Gorgud is a heroic epic poem of the Oghuz - a Turkic tribal group who were the ancestors of the Azerba?anis, Turks, Turkmens and the Gagauz. In terms of its historical and cultural significance, this saga is a grand testament to the culture of the Turkic world of ancient and medieval times.
The character of Dada Gorgud is at the center of the book. He is the book's narrator and one of its main characters. As a storyteller, he seems to have lived longer than many of the people who are protagonists in his story. His most important function is at the end of each story where he makes a moral statement to summarize the plot.
The epos is an indispensable source for learning the subtlety of the Azerbaijani language, historical events and personalities, the culture of Azerbaijanis.
The book shows patriotism, heroism, wisdom of Azerbaijanis, foresight, spiritual values, customs and traditions of the Oghuz Turks, as well as Azerbaijani toponyms.

Editorial: A year of promises
Relevant offers
Is this going to be a long election campaign or what?
OPINION: National, the Greens and now Labour have all started their electioneering ... and there could still be 10 months to go.
National got the ball rolling with a plan to give good teachers more dough and so raise overall education standards, the Greens want to feed kids in low-decile schools and bring health and welfare services into those schools, and now Labour has gone back in time with something called Best Start, aka the old family benefit.
A family benefit that my parents cashed in to put a deposit on a house.
A family benefit my wife and I cashed in to buy a $300 heater just before the scheme was canned in 1981 (yes, times had changed).
But the family benefit idea is back, albeit on a diet. It will give families earning less than $150,000 a year $60 a week for each child, up until the child turns one. Or three, for the poorest half of families.
Still, better than nothing. Election bribe? You betcha. But so are those of the other parties. Will it work? Probably.
Even if it doesn't kick in until 2016, halfway through the next parliamentary term.
Even if David Cunliffe can't yet quite explain where the $270 million a year is going to come from.
What people will remember is the $60. A week. Cash. No vouchers, no ties. You'd never catch National giving money away just like that. This is the Labour of old. Vote for us, vote for us.
The Labour leader is right that the amount will make a difference. Some nappies, some baby food.
No mention it could just as easily go on even more not-so-decent food, or into a pokie machine.
No mention a 2 per cent rise in home mortgage rates will suck it all up either, but hey, that's likely to happen anyway.
So yes, as an election policy it's a good one, and it will make a difference for lower income families. But how oh how did they arrive at the $150,000 threshold? If this really is to assist the poor, why not lower the threshold and extend the benefits?
Oh, that's right, votes.

The wait is over, the report of the latest Scrum sprint of the YaST Team is here! In the previous post we promised that after this sprint we would have much more to show… and now we do. This sprint was quite productive, so let's go straight to the most interesting bits.
The YaST self-update feature mentioned in the two previous blog posts (sprint 16 and sprint 17) has also received a couple of improvements.
At this gist (with screenshots) you can see some of the fixes done when going back and forward in the work-flow after an installer self-update.
But even more important are the improvements done in AutoYaST to properly handle the new feature. If you want to use your own self-update repository you have to specify it on the boot command line. This is easy in a single installation, but if you want to install many machines using AutoYaST then writing the possibly long URL at each installation again sounds annoying.
In this sprint we improved handling of the custom update URL so that it can be read from the AutoYaST XML profile. Now you need to write the custom URL only once into the profile and it will be used automatically in every AutoYaST installation.
There is not much to show in the UI, the log proves that the self update was really loaded.
You can find more details about specifying the URL in the profile and evaluating the self-update repository URL at the documentation.
For quite some time, we have had the plan to stop using Perl-Bootloader as library for yast2-Bootloader and finally we managed to make it happen. There were many reasons for this change.
From the user point of view, the most visible reasons were speed and size. Getting rid of Perl-Bootloader means that we not longer perform hardware probing twice (one for Perl-Bootloader and another one for
grub2-config), making kernel updates faster. In addition, we are not only simplifying and reducing the size of yast2-bootloader itself. Dropping the Perl libraries and other associated dependencies, makes possible to have a smaller minimal system, something quite relevant in various environments and scenarios.
From the developer point of view, the main reason was to unify the used programming languages and also reuse existing solution for file reading and parsing. Now yast2-bootloader uses an Augeas file parser and serializer, which does not only allow us to have less code to maintain, but also offers smarter editing and better handling of the comments in the configuration files.
As nice side effects, this change also leaded to the removal of a lot of work-arounds, the simplification of the installation work-flow for bootloader and a very visible improvement in the source code quality. In addition, we improved the test coverage of the whole module to make sure we didn't break things too much. But all those would be bold statements if we wouldn't have some geeky numbers to prove …
The first round of proposals for the openSUSE Conference have been accepted and people who submitted a call for papers should log-in to events.opensuse.org and check to see if their talk has been accepted as part of the first round of proposals.
For proposals that have been accepted, users should confirm their proposal as soon as possible and also register for the conference if they had not done so already.
About 20 proposals have been confirmed, but there are about 45 proposals from the first round proposals that need to be confirmed.
There will be a second round of accepted proposals announced next week.
A new version of Danbooru Client is now available!
Danbooru Client is an application to access Danbooru-based image boards (Wikipedia definition).
It offers a convenient, KF5 and Qt5-based GUI coupled with a QML image view to browse, view, and download images hosted in two of the most famous Danbooru boards (konachan.com and yande.re).
Sooner or later I'll get to finish the multiple API support, but given that there's close to no interest for these programs (people are happy to use a browser) and that I work on this very irregularly (every 6-7 months at best), there's no ETA at all. It might be done this year, perhaps the next.
Currently, there is only a source tarball. For security, I have signed it with my public GPG key (A29D259B) and I have also provided a SHA-512 hash of the release.
There has not been a new snapshot for openSUSE Tumbleweed for the past week, and it has been a couple weeks since the last time it was discussed on news.opensuse.org.
A new snapshot of Tumbleweed arrived today and the reason for not having one the past week is that the entire rolling release distribution was rebuilt on the Open Build Service and thoroughly tested by openQA.
Snapshot 20160422 updated glibc to version 2.23 and libvirt to 1.3.3. The libraries provide new compatibility and remove some obsolete functions. Several patches were removed from glibc and libvirt. Libvirt's update also improved support for ppc64.
GCC 5 upgraded to version 5.3.1+r234891 and kernel-firmware updated to 20160412.
Php7 has been added and is available in the the repositories.
Other updates of interest are to openssl with new patches from SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and cmake 3.5.2. YaST had several updates with yast2 upgrading to 3.1.185, yast2-vm upgrading to 3.1.26, and yast2-bootloader upgrading to 3.1.176 among others YaST updates.
Tumbleweed users can expect Qt 5.6 to make it in a snapshot within the next few weeks and will more than likely be available after the next YaST sprint.
The openSUSE Board announced today a call to action for a Community Release Team to assist with tasks associated to the development of the next Leap version 42.2.
The announcement was made in an email to the project's development mailing list opensuse-factory (at) opensuse.org.
"In the past, these tasks were… distributed among the SUSE employed openSUSE team, which tried to incorporate community and in the end made sure that everything gets done," wrote Tomáš Chvátal, a newly elected board member.
Contributors can help Leap's new release manager Ludwig Nussel with a variety of tasks associated with the development of 42.2, but the opportunities for contributing are more than just development.
"We would like the community to be directly responsible for ensuring these tasks get carried out," Chvátal wrote. "To accomplish this we intend to create a full team of people taking care about what needs to be done for the release. We expect the people in this Community Release Team to be the ones responsible for the tasks in their respective areas of responsibility."
The tasks are split into several areas like marketing, design, infrastructure, documentation, translations and quality assurance.
Tasks for marketing include creating and following a marketing plan and taking care of social media among other things. Design tasks include making sure the desktops are consistently branded and the the look and feel is consistent. Infrastructure tasks include making sure critical infrastructure works.
The documentation tasks include updating content on the wiki and ensuring release notes are updated. Translations for 42.2 will be needed and QA tasks include creating a test plan for milestones, monitoring bugzilla and escalating important regressions to the release manager.
People interested in joining the Community Release Team should contact the board and Nussel.
A link to the action items from the last release can be found at http://tinyurl.com/grg5szf and volunteers are welcomed to expand the tasks.

For most documents about kernel module building just need a Makefile like this,
HELLO = helloworld
obj-m += $(HELLO).o
$(HELLO)-objs := hello.o world.o
KERNEL_SOURCE := /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SOURCE) M=`pwd` modules
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SOURCE) M=`pwd` clean
$(RM) Module.markers modules.order
Then type "make" will make everything set. (Of cause source of current kernel is ready at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build).
But yesterday when I tried to build a kernel module for Linux-4.6-rc5 (openSUSE vanilla) kernel, I observed an error never saw before.
helloworld> make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ M=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/colyli/source/suse-kernel/patched/linux-4.6-rc5-vanilla'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/home/colyli/source/tmp/helloworld/hello.o', needed by '/home/colyli/source/tmp/helloworld/helloworld.o'. Stop.
Makefile:1428: recipe for target '_module_/home/colyli/source/tmp/helloworld' failed
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/colyli/source/tmp/helloworld] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/colyli/source/suse-kernel/patched/linux-4.6-rc5-vanilla'
Makefile:10: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 2
It seems nothing missed, but the error message was there. Today a friend (Chang Liu from Memblaze) tells me maybe I should check the output of "make modules_prepare" in the kernel source directory, here is my result,
linux-4.6-rc5-vanilla> make modules_prepare
Makefile:1016: "Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, please install libelf-dev or elfutils-libelf-devel"
This is an informative clue, so I install libelf-dev package and re-run "make modules_prepare",

This is a question raised quite quite often, the last time in a blogpost by Thomas, so I thought it is a good idea to give a slightly longer explanation (and also create an article to link to…).
There are basically three reasons for using XML as the default format for metainfo files:
This is a matter of extending the AppStream metainfo files with new entries, or adapt existing entries to new needs.
Take this example XML line for defining an icon for an application:
<icon type="cached">foobar.png</icon>
and now the equivalent YAML:
Icons: cached: foobar.png
Now consider we want to add a width and height property to the icons, because we started to allow more than one icon size. Easy for the XML:
<icon type="cached" width="128" height="128">foobar.png</icon>
This line of XML can be read correctly by both old parsers, which will just see the icon as before without reading the size information, and new parsers, which can make use of the additional information if they want. The change is both forward and backward compatible.
This looks differently with the YAML file. The "foobar.png" is a string-type, and parsers will expect a string as value for the
cached key, while we would need a dictionary there to include the additional width/height information:
Icons: cached: name: foobar.png width: 128 height: 128
The change shown above will break existing parsers though. Of course, we could add a
cached2 key, but that would require people to write two entries, to keep compatibility with older parsers:
Icons: cached: foobar.png cached2: name: foobar.png width: 128 height: 128
Less than ideal.
While there are ways to break compatibility in XML documents too, as well as ways to design YAML documents in a way which minimizes the risk of breaking compatibility later, keeping the format future-proof is far easier with XML compared to YAML (and sometimes simply not possible with YAML documents). This makes XML a good choice for this usecase, since we can not do transitions with thousands of independent upstream projects easily, and need to care about backwards compatibility.
A property of AppStream metainfo files is that they can be easily translated into multiple languages. For that, tools like intltool and itstool exist to aid with translating XML using Gettext files. This can be done at project build-time, keeping a clean, minimal XML file, or before, storing the translated strings directly in the XML document. Generally, YAML files can be translated too. Take the following example (shamelessly copied from Dolphin):
File Manager Upravitelj datoteka Správce souborů Filhåndtering
This would become something like this in YAML:
Summary: C: File Manager bs: Upravitelj datoteka cs: Správce souborů da: Filhåndtering
Looks manageable, right? Now …
Two weeks ago was the GNOME Software hackfest in London, and I've been there! And I just now found the time to blog about it, but better do it late than never .
After being stuck in trains for the weekend, but fortunately arriving at the airport in time, I finally made it to London with quite some delay due to the slow bus transfer from Stansted Airport. After finding the hotel, the next issue was to get food and a place which accepted my credit card, which was surprisingly hard – in defence of London I must say though, that it was a Sunday, 7 p.m. and my card is somewhat special (in Canada, it managed to crash some card readers, so they needed a hard-reset). While searching for food, I also found the Red Hat offices where the hackfest was starting the next day by accident. My hotel, the office and the tower bridge were really close, which was awesome! I have been to London in 2008 the last time, and only for a day, so being that close to the city center was great. The hackfest didn't leave any time to visit the city much, but by being close to the center, one could hardly avoid the "London experience" .
That's basically the summary for the hackfest . It was awesome to meet with Richard Hughes again, since we haven't seen each other in person since 2011, but work on lots of stuff together. This was especially important, since we managed to solve quite some disagreements we had over stuff – Richard even almost managed to make me give in to adding <kudos/> to the AppStream spec, something which I was pretty against supporting (it didn't make it yet, but I am no longer against the idea of having that – the remaining issues are solvable).
Meeting Iain Lane again (after FOSDEM) was also very nice, and also seeing other people I've only worked with over IRC or bug reports (e.g. William, Kalev, …) was great. Also lots of "new" people were there, like guys from Endless, who build their low-budget computer for developing/emerging countries on top of GNOME and Linux technologies. It's pretty cool stuff they do, you should check out their website! (they also build their distribution on top of Debian, which is even more awesome, and something I didn't know before (because many Endless people I met before were associated with GNOME or Fedora, I kind of implicitly assumed the system was based on Fedora )).
The incarnation of GNOME Software used by endless looks pretty different from what the normal GNOME user sees, since it's adjusted for a different audience and input method. But it looks great, and is a good example for how versatile GS already is! And for upstream GNOME, we've seen some pretty great mockups done by Endless too – I …
Google made an announcement April 22 that 1,206 students were selected for the Google Summer of Code and six of those students will be mentored through the openSUSE Project, which is one of 178 mentoring organizations in this year's GSoC.
The six university students will spend their summer break writing code and learning about open source developments through six projects with the openSUSE Project while earning money through Google's international program.
"I believe that one of the most important tasks for a Free Software hacker is to bring new people with new perspectives, backgrounds and fresh ideas into the community," said Hendrik Vogelsang, who is one of the mentors for the openSUSE Project. "GSoC provides the perfect opportunity for a project like openSUSE to build new relationships with students from all over the world."
Those new relationships and fresh ideas will develop within six projects for openSUSE, which are titled Alternatives YaST Module, Enhancing visitor experience of OSEM, Implementing Ticket payment feature for OSEM, Improve One-Click Installer, Improve the UI of Portus and Port Jangouts from AngularJS 1.4.
Students wrote more than 20 project proposals to participate with openSUSE as a mentoring organization. A list of available project that were available to students can be viewed at 101.opensuse.org.
The next phase of GSoC will be the Community Bonding phase and the students will begin working on the projects May 23. The students will have a mid-term evaluation between June 20 – 27 and will submit their code for evaluation between August 15 -23.
Google Summer of Code is open to post-secondary students, age 18 and older in most countries.
I recently learned about VulnHub, a site where you can download and attack some demo machines that others have shared. It is very useful if you are looking to learn about security or advance your existing skills. In this post I was targeting the LAMPSecurity: CTF6 machine. Setup is pretty simple, I downloaded the VM, converted it into qcow2 format and then fired it up with kvm.
To start off I wanted to see what ports and services are running so I decided to run a scan to see if I could get more information.
The first issue is that the machine uses a DHCP so I need to determine its ip address.
# nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 Starting Nmap 7.12 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-04-22 21:03 EDT Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.211 Host is up (0.00011s latency).

Now I know the IP of the gateway is 192.168.1.1 so the IP address of the target machine is 192.168.1.211. Now that I know that I can perform a scan on the ports to see what is open.
# nmap -sS -sV 192.168.1.211 Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.211 Host is up (0.00013s latency).

The website seems to have Apache running so I decided to try scanning it with nikto to see if there are any interesting pages avaliable.

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Tumbleweed seems to have found its rhythm at around 4 snapshots per week. I will cover the snapshots 0414, 0415, 0416 and 0417. After that, it took unfortunately a bit of effort to get more stagings ready. This then lead now to the fact that the next snapshot (0422) will be rather large. I will mention more about this further down.
What were the 4 last snapshots about:
The next snapshot (20160422) will be rather large and quite some packages will have new release numbers. Glibc 2.23 finally found its way through staging, which was the perfect time to change OBS to do a full rebuild of the distribution, ensuring all packages are again built against each other. Further, we disabled the support script that "removed the .desktop file translations in favor of gettext based language overlays". Even though this was an interesting feature, it lead to quite some issues in the past with the fast pace of Tumbleweed. Sometimes upstream shipped a .desktop file with correct translations, but we stripped those 'in favor of our own' (which often were based on older strings). No longer doing this means eliminating all kind of such issues. But it was another reason for full package rebuilds. In an attempt to minimize how often we trigger such large updates, we scheduled this intentionally together with the glibc update.
There are still a couple of things prepared in staging, most notably:
Let's all work on all those great additions and many more
This morning I could not launch SMPlayer as it would complain about a 'relocation error'.
smplayer: relocation error: /usr/lib64/samba/libauthkrb5-samba4.so: symbol tevent_req_is_unix_error, version TEVENT_UTIL_0.0.1 not defined in file libtevent-util.so.0 with link time reference
It's been quite a few days I did not use SMPlayer and somehow a recent update of Tumbleweed could have updated that Samba library. Yes, it comes from the samba-libs package.
ish@coffee-bar:~> rpm -qf /usr/lib64/samba/libauthkrb5-samba4.so samba-libs-4.4.2-1.1.x86_64
I ran the above command when writing this blog post, which was after a Samba update. Therefore I guess a previous version of the samba-libs was behind the apps-breaking incident. Yup! SMPlayer would work just fine after the update. Reading from the openSUSE forums, a couple of days ago other geekos complained about some items failing to launch after Tumbleweed update.
Some 'things' broke after a recent #openSUSE Tumbleweed update & #Samba appears to be the culprit.https://t.co/R4xSDS75FL
— Ish Sookun (@IshSookun) April 22, 2016
Ideally, one could run
zypper up to update the system rather than just the Samba package.
The post Samba 'libauthkrb5' library breaks several apps appeared first on HACKLOG.
There are no good, paper cycling maps for my region. There are 1:20,000 street maps for car navigation within the city, but they have absolutely no detail in the rural areas. There are 1:200,000 maps for long trips by car, but that's too big of a scale.
Ideally there would be high-quality printed maps at 1:50,000 scale (i.e. 1 Km in the real world is 2 cm in the map), with enough detail and some features:
Contour lines. Xalapa is in the middle of the mountains, so it's useful to plan for (often ridiculously steep) uphills/downhills.
Where can I replenish my water/food? Convenience stores, roadside food stands.
What's the quality and surface of the roads? This region is full of rural tracks that go through coffee and sugarcane plantations. The most-transited tracks can be ridden with reasonable "street" tyres. Others require fatter tyres, or a lot of skill, or a mountain bike, as they have rocks and roots and lots of fist-sized debris.
Any interesting sights or places? It's nice to have a visual "prize" when you reach your destination, apart from the mountainous landscape itself. Any good viewpoints? Interesting ruins? Waterfalls?
As many references as possible. The rural roads tend to look all the same — coffee plants, bananas, sugarcane, dirt roads. Is there an especially big tree at the junction of two trails so you know when to turn? Is there one of the ubiquitous roadside shrines or crosses? Did I just see the high-voltage power lines overhead?
For a couple of years now, I have been mapping the rural roads around here in OpenStreetMap. This has been an interesting process.
For example, this is the satellite view that gets shown in iD, the web editor for OpenStreetMap:
One can make out rural roads there between fields (here, between the blue river and the yellow highway). They are hard to see where there are many trees, and sometimes they just disappear in the foliage. When these roads are just not visible or 100% unambiguous in the satellite view, there's little else to do but go out and actually ride them while recording a GPS track with my phone.
These are two typical rural roads here:
Once I get back home, I'll load the GPS track in the OpenStreetMap editor, trace the roads, and add some things by inference (the road crosses a stream, so there must be a bridge) or by memory (oh, I remember that especially pretty stone bridge!). Behold, a bridge in an unpaved road:
The openSUSE Conference in Nuremberg, Germany, June 22 – 26 is just nine weeks away and attendee might want to start planning their trip to this year's conference.
With a pre-conference party planned for June 21 at the Kater Murr at 7 p.m., attendees might want to consider arriving on June 21; arriving a day before the conference is a good idea.
The conference will begin at 10 a.m. on June 22, which should give people time to recovery either jet lag or the pre-conference party.
People who take the train will arrive in downtown Nuremberg. People coming in on a flight can go downtown using the subway (U-Bahn) from the airport. U2 is the train that goes too and from downtown (Hauptbahnhof).
People who plan on driving to Nuremberg will find plenty of parking garages around the city. Parking at the Z Bau is free.
People who plan on using the Travel Support Program can start submitting their requests now via Connect and need to have it submitted six weeks before the start of oSC16. (May 9 at the latest).
Learn more about the Travel Support Program and be informed of the policies to make your process easy and to understand the requirements for receiving support funds.
Attendees should look for the cheapest tickets available so that the funds can be used to accommodate the largest amount of attendees requesting support.
Besides the pre-conference party, there will be a couple social events scheduled throughout the week.
There will be a city tour and a cellar tour available in Nuremberg at two different times (6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.) on June 22, 23 and 25. Each tour has the capacity of 25 people and people who want to attend these tours will need to reserve a seat through events.opensuse.org. Reserving a seat for the tours is not currently available, but will be before the conference starts; an announcement will be sent out to attendees about reserving a seat.
The SUSE Band will play live music on stage at the Z Bau June 24 from 6:45 p.m. The band has been practicing for this for some time is hyped to be playing in front of a live audience.
The conference is scheduled to end at 2 p.m. on June 26 so attendees can have enough time to get to the airport for a flight leaving at 5 p.m. or later. There are several flights leaving Nuremberg after 5 p.m. Three hours is more than enough time to get to the airport from the Z Bau. Using public transportation takes a little under 30 minutes from the Z Bau to Nuremberg Airport.
There will be a Hack Week for those who would like to stay and hack in Nuremberg. Give it some thought before making travel plans and maybe stay a few days to hack with people at the SUSE headquarters in Nuremberg.

A third of time is wasted on low level IT tasks
London, December 14 2012: A study of UK IT decision makers commissioned by IPsoft, has identified a worrying trend in over-qualified IT professionals spending nearly a third of their time on low level IT tasks such as responding to incidences and checking for errors. The Vanson Bourne research, commissioned by the expert systems specialist, identifies a clear mismanagement of resources with those surveyed admitting that on a regular day their staff only use about half (47%) of their applicable qualifications.
Against the backdrop of severe skills shortage across the IT industry, these findings are particularly worrying. IT managers are clearly more concerned about the poor use of skills than the need to train employees to gain the right ones. 74% of those surveyed revealed a major frustration with the level of time dedicated to low level IT tasks which is not only de-motivating for the individuals involved but is a huge waste of skills for the business.
"The research confirms and reinforces the level to which valuable expensive skills are lying dormant" comments IPsoft's UK MD Terry Walby. "Of course a skill that isn't regularly used is very rapidly forgotten. However, the biggest impact of this is that IT staff are not being used effectively and are missing the opportunity to drive technology innovation, which is vital in the development of most businesses."
Worryingly, many respondents feel resigned to the fact that wastage of skills is a necessary inconvenience. 88% accept that to make progress in an enterprise IT environment, IT operations staff will have to perform day-to-day tasks for which they are over-qualified. 69% of respondents agree that this is in part a direct result of teams having limited access to the right tools and technologies that could make them more efficient and productive. Just over two thirds (69%) feel that if their operations staff had more man hours available, they would be used to modernise their organisation's infrastructure, which is critical to business growth.
Bob Tarzey, Service Director at analyst firm Quocirca, commented: "The new research report explores the theme the wastage of human capital in IT operations. IT managers clearly understand the wastage of skills in their organisations and the impact this has on the ability to drive change. To break out of what can become a viscous circle, IT managers need to automate more mundane tasks and free their staff to focus on innovation. When the tools are in place that can handle these low level tasks, and more efficient workflow, the industrialisation of IT management can be undertaken".

Fancy and Lucy are waiting patiently for a home
Breed: Siamese mixes
Age: 1 year
Sex: neutered male, Fancy; spayed female, Lucy
Fancy and Lucy's story: These siblings are the last of their litter, which came to Cats In Need in June along with their mother. The other family members have found homes, but these two remain. Are you who they've been waiting for? They are playful and active, excellent with their grooming, and like their scratching post. They don't do well with small children but are fine with cat-friendly dogs. Fancy is the more outgoing of the duo and will be the one to greet you on first meeting, while Lucy takes a bit of time to warm up.
Adoption donation: $200 for both; Fancy and Lucy must be adopted together.
Adoption procedure: Contact Cathi with Cats In Need at 714-538-6108 or email@example.com. Fancy and Lucy live at PetSmart Yorba Linda, 5521 Mirage St. You can visit them during the week and see them on weekends at adoption shows.

Nothing has been announced.
At this point Apple has said only that the beta of Siri is available only on the iPhone 4S. Whether it will appear on the iPad 2 or any other iOS device is unknown.
Will Siri be available on the iPad 2 or just the iPhone 4S?
Nothing has been announced.
At this point Apple has said only that the beta of Siri is available only on the iPhone 4S. Whether it will appear on the iPad 2 or any other iOS device is unknown.
I would think the iPad 2 would include it with iOS 5. If not instantly, Apple will probably make another update that includes it (by "making another update", i do not mean iOS 6, but something like iOS 5.1.# or something related).
If your looking for official, I wouldnt bet on it. Technically speaking, the app would run fine on most devices but they wont allow it because they want people to buy the new stuff.
My guess is it will still show up unofficially of course... lol
Siri is about the only thing interesting to me with the new iPhone. I'm getting bored with my existing hardware and smallish screen. This may sadly be the first year of not upgrading to the great new iDevice. I just don't see the reason to.
Currently, there is a Siri app for the iPad 2. I have it installed on mine. The app does work somewhat like the one demoed today. One of the main differences is the app is not vocal. It responds only with words on the screen. However, I just turned on my iPad and opened the Siri appliacation. The following comment appeared "I've been replaced! The new Siri is even smarter and better looking than me, and waiting for you on the iPhone 4S. I'll be leaving for home Oct. 15." This appears to indicate that the iPad 2 will not have Siri after the 15th.
I have a feeling it won't be.Looking at the iOS page it doesn't even mention Siri, it's only mentioned onthe iPhone4S page. I'll probably end up upgrading the iPhone for it, but it'smoronic not to have it on my iPad, especially since using Siri for emails/webposts/weather/maps/iMessage would work really well on there.
Though I'd say worst of all,knowing that Apple can easily release Siri as part of the iOS on the iPad2 butchooses not to for marketing reasons just makes me lose faith in the companyand start believing that that they've turned into another Microsoft. Just moneygrubbing. Sure it's all about stock/revenue, but it's really bad form to leavefeatures out of products just to justify new ones.
It's not uncommon. The iPhone 4 supports display mirroring natively & perfectly. You just enter a missing string. It does all come down to money. I'm really hoping for Siri on my iPad 2 as well. If it doesn't it will be available like all things via jailbreak. Unfortunately that ruins OTA updates.
I say we revolt if they don't release it for at least the iPad 2 if not the new iPods as well.
Sadly it looks like i've found the answer, just got an e-mail from Apple advertising the 4s and in the small print at the bottom it clearly states that Siri will only be available on the iPhone 4s.
Kind of *****
Sounds like the current Siri will no longer work after Oct 15th, and Imessages will only work between IOS5 devies, i do not want to lose my ability to message driods etc. Or am I misunderstanding this?
I'm pretty ticked that they won't release Siri to some of more recent hardware. Come on, Apple!
Well iMessage will not get rid of your texting ability, it just works in addition to it, so that if someone has an iOS5 device you can message them for free; texting is seperate and that uses your texting plan.
Well they know they kind of have us by the balls and that we'll buy their stuff anyways right now; unfortinately they're also losing customer loyalty, so the moment someone else comes up with something good people won't stick around with Apple, they'll just jump ship. Biting the hand that feeds you is always a bad idea.

New York University biologists have identified a mechanism that helps explain how the diversity of neurons that make up the visual system is generated.
"Our research uncovers a process that dictates both timing and cell survival in order to engender the heterogeneity of neurons used for vision," explains NYU Biology Professor Claude Desplan, the study's senior author.
The study's other co-authors were: Claire Bertet, Xin Li, Ted Erclik, Matthieu Cavey, and Brent Wells—all postdoctoral fellows at NYU.
Their work, which appears in the latest issue of the journal Cell, centers on neurogenesis—the process by which neurons are created.
A central challenge in developmental neurobiology is to understand how progenitors—stem cells that differentiate to form one or more kinds of cells—produce the vast diversity of neurons, glia, and non-neuronal cells found in the adult Central Nervous System (CNS).
Temporal patterning is one of the core mechanisms generating this diversity in both invertebrates and vertebrates. This process relies on the sequential expression of transcription factors into progenitors, each specifying the production of a distinct neural cell type.
In the Cell paper, the researchers studied the formation of the visual system of the fruit fly Drosophila. Their findings revealed that this process, which relies on temporal patterning of neural progenitors, is more complex than previously thought.
They demonstrate that in addition to specifying the production of distinct neural cell type over time, temporal factors also determine the survival or death of these cells as well as the mode of division of progenitors.
Thus, temporal patterning of neural progenitors generates cell diversity in the adult visual system by specifying the identity, the survival, and the number of each unique neural cell type.
The research was supported, in part, by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (R01 EY017916).

I found this hot blonde while I was driving around lost last week. She was hanging out in front of some store when I spotted her. I had to pull up and ask her for directions to get a really good look at her. She pointed out the direction and actually offered to show me the way if I gave her a ride. She hopped in and we went on our way. She told me she was looking for work and needed money. I had some spending cash I always take for situations like this. I was straight forward with her and asked to see her juicy tits. She was shocked at first but then changed her mind once the cash came out. After she let me feel her up a bit, I went in all the way and asked for some head and she was down for the right price. She was amazing at sucking dick so I proposed we go to a hotel room and let me tell you that was the best thing I possibly could have done. You dont want to miss a minute of this hot blonde showing me a how dirty she could get.
