September PLUG Meeting rescheduled

Due to requests and the long weekend the first meeting of the season is getting pushed to September 16th.

Apologies for the short notice but I hope this message reaches everyone!

As for the upcoming meeting it was suggested we gather our Pi's. I know for a fact I want to trot out my Xeon workstation to give you folks a peek.

I'll post again closer to next weeks date with further details!

I could demonstrate how to use VNC to login to a Linux computer remotely. I can show it using my laptop to login to the Pi.

I'm definitely interested in that.

Just on the phone with Applewood now, this coming Monday is booked so I'll see what else we can setup.

Amanda will be off at Income security group tonight, then I have a hospital visit to make (NEW BABY FOR A FRIEND!) and maybe after I can swing by Timmies for a coffee. Busy week this week building out a new server deployment in Chicago. (remotely) lots of new toys for the end of 2019.

Brian, the notice of the Sept PLUG meeting, on the main PLUG web page, needs to be updated to show that there will not be a meeting, at the Applewood retirement location, on Monday Sept 9.

regards

The first meeting of the season is getting pushed to September 16th. Due to the room already being booked for the 9th.

Hi Guys. Have been following the posts of the meeting schedule and keeping the folks here informed. Since it will be partly a Pi night, I will bring some pis and odroids for you to have a peek at.
16th is ok here. Glen, VE3LIZ

It will be fantastic to see you again Glen! And of course coming in with toys helps.

I have FINALLY used my Pi to set up a home server; first time I've ever had one on any device. I'm using BerryBoot, and I have OpenMediaVault running in it. I have been spending the afternoon on the settings after watching several videos on how to do this. I still have some questions, so I'm hoping to demo what I've done at the meeting and get feedback from our more tech-savvy members.

I'd be interested in that especially since that's what I want to do. Are you using it with a regular drive - either HDD or SDD?

cod3poet · September 07, 2019, 06:01:56 PM

Debian based I see good enough I should be able to assist if needed. Looks interesting!

Just a USB stick; same one I'm using to hold my media for LibreElec. I don't think it's any more difficult to do this with an HDD or SSD, but with the former, it would require an external power source (and I don't mean the pi itself).

I'm still on it. I think I have successfully set it up as wifi, but not sure. Will we have ethernet in Applewood?

fox · September 07, 2019, 09:37:57 PM

Well I'm going to need Brian's help. I got OMV set up on wifi, or thought I did. My house computers can see the Pi, but now they can't access the contents of the shared folders. I was getting errors during the set-up, but I couldn't fix them.

cod3poet · September 16, 2019, 02:06:02 PM

This is still on, I look forward to seeing you tonight!
