OGG: LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE

It occurred to me (OK, Kelly told me) that while it was all fine and well that I was going to do a mail merge show using a database in the near future, many people don’t know what a database is. Therefore, this show is a primer on databasing. It’s high on the theoretical side because OOo2 Base crashed and burned so many times that it was nigh impossible to do anything with it, but hopefully there’s enough information in here to get people comfortable with the ideas and concepts.

Topics:

• How to tell when it’s time to put away that spreadsheet and move into a database
• The philosophical differences between a spreadsheet and a database
• The front end/back end concept
• How (kinda) to build a database with OOo2 Base

Minutes:

• 00:25 Show intro
• 03:44 Freecasting: Podcasting for the Masses
• 06:20 Magnatune albums to give away: Nova Express Gimme Some(x3), Shiva in Exile Ethnic(x 3 2), Artemis Gravity (x3). Email me if you want one!
• 09:20 Justin’s HOWTO on suspending an Ubuntu box using Suspend2
• 13:10 I have a spreadsheet. Why do I need a database?
• 17:56 Entities and how to dissect data
• 22:33 Table relationships
• 28:00 The front end and backend concepts
• 32:47 Create a database in OOo 2 Base
• 34:00 Create some tables
• 44:38 Commence crash and BURN!
• 46:12 Trying to use the Form Wizard
• 52:00 Suspend a no go. Downloading SuSE! (yes, I’m a distro-whore)

Can you believe I FORGOT to play a song at the end of the show after all the talking about it on the blog? Sheesh…next time, I promise!

No Mail Merge with OOo2 again. I’m still waiting for OOo2 to show up in the Linspire CNR. That’s OK, we’d rather learn about amaroK, right?

Minutes

02:26 - ThinkFree Office. The name annoys me.
04:25 - We’re gonna do amarok!

Correction: Cameron Reilly has pointed out to me that there is a free online version of Think Free Office. Damn…I hate it when a good rant is ruined by something a trivial as the facts…

This week’s show was supposed to be about how to Mail Merge in OpenOffice.org 2.0, but due to technical difficulties, that’s going to have to wait until next week. Instead, this week I talk about Linspire since I’ve been playing with it recently.

And look - real minutes!

Minutes:

• 00:30 - Show Intro - not Mail Merge with OOo 2 as promised.
• 01:45 - I’m now using Linspire
• 04:30 - I’m running a laptop and therefore whatever works on a desktop isn’t relevant in most cases.
• 05:30 - My package problems with Kubuntu
• 08:30 - My basic requirements to carry on with testing a distro
• 09:50 - Justin has suspend working on Ubuntu
• 11:33 - Linspire has given me no grief, but the CNR delay is kind of annoying
• 12:30 - The Click n’ Run (CNR) Warehouse. It’s not a piece of crap
• 15:00 - I found all the apps I looked for in the CNR. Even the weird ones
• 19:30 - The Linspire community
• 23:00 - Some of the CNR package descriptions show a lack of understanding about what the package is
• 25:30 - Not everyone likes the CNR
• 26:40 - Is Linspire evil or good?
• 29:00 - Primer on Free Software
• 31:45 - RMS himself encourages us to sell free software and to charge as much as we wish or can for it
• 32:05 - RMS told me, personally, on show #13, to download a GNU/Linux distro named UTUTO and sell copies of it.
• 33:00 - That’s not to say that RMS likes Linspire in any way. I think it’s safe to say that he’s disgusted with it
• 33:54 - Something about Linspire still sticks in my craw
• 34:40 - Is Linspire good?
• 35:20 - It’s all about Mass Marketing ™. People have to be able to buy GNU/Linux pre-installed
• 37:30 - Stores are not going to shelve free stuff. They need to be able to sell it
• 38:20 - Consumers want to pay for software. It gives them some weird sense of confidence in it
• 42:55 - Kelly Penguin Girl names the penguin! You are not going to believe this…
• 47:30 - Alan Clements’ email
• 50:39 - Kelly thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!
• 51:50 - Wrapup

NOTE: Yes, I know the LGPL doesn’t stand for “Lesser GNU Public License”, it’s the GNU Lesser General Public License. Slip of the tongue…

OGG: LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE

Weehooo! We made it to show #25! Who would have thought that we would have made it this far? We sure didn’t…you guys are crazy to keep encouraging us.

I recorded the OGG on level 4 instead of level 5 this week. It seems a little smaller, but is still quite a bit larger than the MP3. I’m going to record it on level 3 next week unless you guys tell me it sounds crappy.

We were going to revisit Puppy Linux on this show. I thought that since many months had gone by and the fact that many, many people are still commenting on an old Puppy Linux review I did that it would have sufficiently advanced to work on my system. But, alas - that’s not the case and since it’s hard to talk about something that doesn’t work - we’re not going to.

Instead, we take a trip down memory lane and talk about every show since the first one. You likely won’t learn anything about GNU/Linux in this show, but you might have a laugh or two.

Enjoy!

Yes, that’s right - the OGG is somehow 14 seconds shorter than the MP3. I have no idea why….

Kelly Penguin Girl is once again swamped under a pile of homework, so I tackle the tricky subject of instant messenger clients all by myself. OK…well, they’re not so tricky and I ended up going off on a few tangents. But hey! That’s why you love us, right?

Right?

This week we talk about how to use pubic key cryptography to encrypt and/or sign your email messages and other files. Jarrod Major from the Calgary Linux Users Group come on the show to explain to us all how it’s done using the GNU Privay Guard (GPG). I don’t want to take any thunder from the show, but suffice it to say that public-key cryptography gave security and protection to the common user. Prior to its development, crypto was only available to governments and us peons had little recourse to protect our privacy. No more!

There’s a lot of command-liners thrown around during this episode which are a little too detailed to remember, so here’s a quicklist of the basic ones we used:

• gpg –help: used to get a quick list of gpg commands
• gpg –gen-key: used to generate a public/private key pair
• gpg –edit-key < key id >: used to enter key editing mode to configure a specific key if required
• gpg –send-key < key id >: used to send your public key off to a public key server so people can find it
• gpg –recv-key < key id >: used to grab someone else’s public key from a key server
• gpg –list-keys: used to list the keys you have on your keyring
• gpg –output doc.gpg –encrypt reciepent < key id > doc: used to encrypt doc to doc.gpg using < key id>’s public key
• gpg –output doc –decrypt –doc.gpg: used to decrypt doc.gpg using your own private key from the doc sourcefile

• 00:40 - Show intro/Gripes about Ubuntu
• 09:08 - Jarrod and GPG
• 37:08 - NBA Show promo
• 38:16 - Jarrod and GPG
• 62:37 - My parting thoughts

I had to take the bit about key editing out of the show. It’s valuable stuff, but the show was just running too long. Here’s a little blurb about key editing mode:

There are many wonderful and dangerous things you can do in key editing mode but in reality, you probably will only ever have to go in there to perform on task: Assign a level of trust to another person’s key.

To enter key editing mode, type:

gpg –edit-keys < key-id of the key you want to edit >

While in key-editing mode, feel free to type help to get a list of commands that can be applied to the key you’ve chosen. The command to assign a level of trust to a key is:

trust

You will then be prompted for a number corresponding to the level of trust you wish to assign to that key:

1 = Don’t know
2 = I do NOT trust
3 = I trust marginally
4 = I trust fully
s = please show me more information
m = back to the main menu

Make your selection and:

quit

Please, for the love of all that is holy, use the help command before messing with your keys!

the MP3 appears to be broken. Trouble ticket is in…standby…Update: there’s something going wonky with the TPN servers and the MP3 file for this show. Nobody knows what’s wrong and nobody knows how to fix it, but in a nutshell - the MP3 keeps resetting its permissions to something that prevents anyone from downloading it. I’m going to upload a new MP3, but that will take a few hours to get online. Hopefully that will solve it. Stay tuned…

Thanks for sticking with us during the delay. TPN’s servers are now uber-powered and that should mean a whole new reliability experience for all of us!

Mick’s not talking, but I think the upgrade took so long because hard drives spin the opposite way down under and that caused some hardware issues, but we’ll never know.

Onto the show…

Anti-virus: Thanks for all the tips. Looks like there really is only two out there: ClamAV and a personal edition of F-Prot.

This week’s show has Aaron Seigo, V.P. of Partying, project lead of the KDE Plasma project.

This week I take you through the steps I use to get my wifi up and running using NDISWRAPPER. These steps have worked on every wifi card in my house including:

1. PCMCIA SMC 2435W
2. PCMCIA Linksys WPC11
3. PCI DLINK Airplus (not sure of model number)

Kelly wants no part of this so she pops in later to give us her definitions on some of the commands I use to get the card up and running.

References:

• Finding your system startup scripts: link
• Using update-rc.d in a Debian system: link
• Using chkconfig in a Red Hat system: link

Commands you will need (use MANor INFO on your system):

• ifconfig
• iwconfig

Commands you might need (use MANor INFO on your system):

• Dhclient
• DHCPD
• PUMP

Commands that are fun to use (use MANor INFO on your system):

• iwlist

Contest:

• Cameron Reilly wins the last Win4Lin license. Congrats, Cam! That was our last Win4Lin license. Many thanks to the guys over at Win4Lin for giving us them to give away.

I’m going to combine a few of the smaller topics since they kind of go together. I’m going to start with wifi in GNU/Linux (which will mostly surround the use of ndiswrapper), but it’s pretty hard to set up your wifi without using the terminal window and the equivalents of DOS/Windows ipconfig, and GNU/Linux’s own ifconfig, iwconfig, ifup, dhclient….etc.

I’m going to do most of this on the command line because I don’t want to get distro-specific. All the GUI applications do is act as a front end for these tools anyhow, so as long as you can use them then you’ll be able to use your distro’s GUI to deal with your wifi card.

So, that’s kind of the three topics that I’m going to mash into one show. Now…what to get Kelly Penguin Girl to do…

The OGG link is broken. It will be fixed shortly. Sorry for the problem! The OGG is working again…enjoy!

This week’s show consists of an interview I had with Richard M Stallman (RMS). Amongst other things, RMS is the founder of both the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation.

This show presents an opportunity to learn a little bit about the heritage of GNU/Linux and some background about ‘free as in speech’ software.

There is no contest question this show. It seems kind of ironic to give away a Windows enabler application on a show featuring RMS. There will be a contest this week though, stay tuned to the blog for your chance to win a Win4Lin license!

Note: At one point during our conversation, we talked about Skype. RMS would like people to know that Skype is not free software and he asks that people do not use it.

This is a special edition of the GNU/Linux User Show. I recently had the opportunity to dual boot a machine (WinXP and GNU/Linux). Since there have been some requests on the forums for information on how to do this, I thought I would record myself doing it. It wasn’t nearly as easy I thought, and there’s some good wifi information at the end.
