It has been suggested that we should deliberately only bring one or two standards, so that we're forced to play some new games. In that case we'll need to vote on which these will be, and make an attempt to at least skim-read the new game rules in advance so it's not a total mystery when we go through them on the day.<br />

<br />
== One Line APT Keys command ==<br />
<br />
Medibuntu requires its GPG key:<br />
<br />
sudo apt-key advanced --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 2EBC26B60C5A2783<br />
<br />
== Connect to a Windows VPN ==<br />
<br />
Finally, some clever Ubuntu Gnome folks have written a network manager plugin for doing Windows VPN connections over PPTP. The extremely cool network manager is also available for KDE:<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp network-manager-kde<br />
<br />
== Crazy Wireless Drivers ==<br />
<br />
If you are lucky enough to have bought a HP or Compaq laptop recently, you've probably got a Broadcom wireless chipset. Broadcom are lazy [[wankers]] and don't release their driver code.<br />
<br />
'''Solution (before 8.04):''' Use ndiswrapper 1.8. Blacklist the built-in bcm43xx and download these [http://wiki.jon.geek.nz/wifi-drivers-x32.tar.gz Win32 Broadcom 4318 drivers].<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 ndiswrapper-common<br />
<br />
== ATI Radeon Xpress 200M ==<br />
<br />
Works in 8.04. In earlier versions, getting this chip to do 3D reliably is a pain in the arse. The fglrx driver does not work with Linux on laptops with the ATi Radeon Xpress 200M unless the BIOS is changed to use Sideport + UMI set to 128 MB. '''LAME.'''<br />
<br />
=== Current Recipe ===<br />
<br />
Get the latest Debian module building tools with this incantation:<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make<br />
sudo apt-get install debhelper debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-$(uname -r)<br />
<br />
Download the latest [http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html ATI driver binary] and tell it to build Ubuntu packages, then install them:<br />
<br />
bash ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/edgy<br />
sudo dpkg -i *fglrx*8.34.8*.deb<br />
<br />
Get the module assistant to build and install the fglrx kernel module thus:<br />
<br />
sudo module-assistant prepare<br />
sudo module-assistant update<br />
sudo module-assistant build fglrx<br />
sudo module-assistant install fglrx<br />
sudo depmod -a<br />
<br />
Configure your X server (or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand):<br />
<br />
sudo aticonfig --initial<br />
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv<br />
<br />
and make sure you have this in xorg.conf as well:<br />
<br />
Section "Extensions"<br />
Option "Composite" "Disable"<br />
EndSection<br />
<br />
;See also: Getting the [[ATI|laptop ATI 200M chipset]] to play nice with the plasma telly, and getting the [[NVidia 8800GT]] to work at all with gutsy.<br />
<br />
== SSH Authentication With Keys ==<br />
<br />
Turn off ssh login prompts and do everything with keys. This will reduce the attack surface on port 22. First, create a key using the following command:<br />
<br />
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/mykey<br />
<br />
This will ask for a pass-phrase and create a pair in your .ssh directory as two files, mykey containing the private key and mykey.pub containing the public key. Then for each host you log in to, scp your public key to your home folder and append it to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, thus:<br />
<br />
<b>me@home$</b> scp ~/.ssh/mykey.pub me@remotehost:~<br />
<b>me@home$</b> ssh remotehost<br />
Password: <br />
<b>me@remotehost$</b> cat ~/mykey.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys<br />
<br />
Then, in your Gnome Sessions configuration under Startup Programs, add this:<br />
<br />
ssh-add /home/me/.ssh/mykey <br />
<br />
Note that you will need your full home path, not the ~ shortcut. Now, you can enter your pass-phrase once at the start of every session, and log in to your hosts without prompting for passwords. Once you have it working, you can then disable ssh password prompts.<br />
<br />
== Playing DVDs ==<br />
<br />
For some reason DVD playing in hardy is lame. To fix, install VLC and bung this in /usr/share/applications/vlcdvd.desktop:<br />
<br />
[Desktop Entry]<br />
Version=1.0<br />
Name=DVD Player (VLC)<br />
Comment=Play a DVD main menu with VLC<br />
Exec=vlc --fullscreen %f<br />
Icon=vlc<br />
Terminal=false<br />
Type=Application<br />
NoDisplay=true<br />
Categories=AudioVideo;Player;<br />
MimeType=x-content/video-dvd;<br />
<br />
Then update the desktop database<br />
<br />
sudo update-desktop-database<br />
<br />
Then choose ''DVD Player (VLC)'' in Nautilus - Edit -> Preferences -> Media tab.<br />
<br />
== LM Sensors ==<br />
<br />
To get '''sensors''' to work properly you need to run:<br />
<br />
sudo sensors-detect<br />
<br />
first and follow the onscreen directions.<br />
<br />
== References ==<br />

<div>Dudes, lets be a little more organised and write down the when/where/what/how of our regular sci-fi nights.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Well, as evidenced by the lack of updated entries, the wiki is now in danger of being patently outdated, as no one has updated it in a long time. <br />
<br />
Hence, I seem to be the only one who frequents these parts, haunting these webpages like a lonesome phantom, longing to impact the ethereal world, yet finding no solace... sigh! <br />
<br />
Must I roam these halls of obscure sci-fidom, and find no rest? Must I howl at the wanton moon, under a dusky sky, and listen to the echo of my lament bounce across spaces in-between? Must the circuit board of my 'Puter groan under the weight of my own misguided poetic discourse? Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing/If I were a rich man/diddle-diddle-dee, diddle-dee/ta-ra, ta-ra, on guard now.../a-a-a, under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh... :( - The Lonely Spectre - truely Melancholic...<br />

<br />
:Sinclair is kidnapped and interrogated by members of a pro-Earth (i.e. anti-aliens) group, determined to find out what transpired when the commander was briefly missing in action during the final battle of the Earth/Minbari war, something Sinclair himself has never been able to remember. What is it that the Minbari don't want Sinclair to remember about his experience on the Line?<br />
:After his squad was shot down at the Line, Sinclair's ship was disabled and taken aboard a Minbari cruiser. He was tortured and examined, and at one point stood unfettered within the circle of the grey council itself. When they didn't respond to his questions, Sinclair suddenly walked up to one of them and pulled back the hood, revealing the face of Delenn. He was then knocked out again, and some time later returned to his ship with no memory of the experience.<br />

==Future Nights==<br />
* ''Babylon 5''<br />
** Seriously, the Pilot and Episode 1.01 are quite good.<br />
** Even 1.02 Soul Hunter has some stuff about Minbari beliefs.<br />
* ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Battlestar_Galactica_(re-imagined_series)_episodes#Season_4 Battlestar Galactica]'' when it returns - and may it return quickly... SO SAY WE ALLLL!!!! - Looks like it's set to start on 04/04/2008, W0000T!<br />
* ''Doctor Who'' - the last ones we saw were the Daleks in the Empire State Building<br />
* ''Torchwood''<br />
* ''Farscape''<br />
* ''[http://imdb.com/title/tt0756683/ The Man From Earth]'' - Indie movie, that's apparently really good! Someone should 'obtain' this... (31/01/2008 - Consider this "obtained" - Griff)<br />
* I have the retouched and remastered film ''Metropolis'' on DVD<br />
* We have some Rifftrax of ''The Matrix'', ''Fellowship Of The Ring'' and some ''Star Trek'' movies we haven't watched yet?<br />
* ''Enterprise''? At least from Season 3, right through Season 4 would be Gravy!!! Update: I have purchased Season 4 - on sale at 'WitKols' (Phonetic spelling applies). So far, it's pretty good... Update: Season 3 of Enterprise - picked this up from Witkols Lambton Quay as well - yes!!! Thank-you sale-prices!!!<br />
* Howabout some good vampire flicks, like the 1979 Dracula with Lawrence Olivier as Van Halen, um, I mean, Van Helsing. It's a fantastic movie - very kewl! <br />
* There's always a second-viewing of Battlefield:Earth - with Riftrax of course! What better way to watch the absolute horror, that is LRonHubbardsCereal's masterpiece example of Thetan turd, than with the safety net of Riftrax to catch us when, inevitably, we all fall into fits of laughter at the wooden-plank acting of Travolta, and his cohorts of brain-washed Scientologists - BigCringeLOL!<br />
* Family Guy: Blue Harvest DVD - it's out at the shops!!! (21/02/2008 - Consider this "obtained" - Griff)<br />

:Some religious nutter seeking the Holy Grail comes to Bab 5, and hooks up with an emo engineer who worked on all the Babylon stations.

When Vorlon ambassador Kosh is told the Na'ka'leen feeder was disguised in a Vorlon encounter suit, he is pleased that his appearance makes people feel uneasy. Leneer helps Garibaldi finish his antique Kawazaki motorbike - and wow, do they ride that puppy round the station at 'StreetHawk' speeds... LOL!<br />

==Future Nights==<br />
* ''Babylon 5''<br />
** Seriously, the Pilot and Episode 1.01 are quite good.<br />
** Even 1.02 Soul Hunter has some stuff about Minbari beliefs.<br />
* ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Battlestar_Galactica_(re-imagined_series)_episodes#Season_4 Battlestar Galactica]'' when it returns - and may it return quickly... SO SAY WE ALLLL!!!!<br />
* ''Doctor Who'' - the last ones we saw were the Daleks in the Empire State Building<br />
* ''Torchwood''<br />
* ''Farscape''<br />
* ''[http://imdb.com/title/tt0756683/ The Man From Earth]'' - Indie movie, that's apparently really good! Someone should 'obtain' this... (31/01/2008 - Consider this "obtained" - Griff)<br />
* I have the retouched and remastered film ''Metropolis'' on DVD<br />
* We have some Rifftrax of ''The Matrix'', ''Fellowship Of The Ring'' and some ''Star Trek'' movies we haven't watched yet?<br />
* ''Enterprise''? At least from Season 3, right through Season 4 would be Gravy!!! Update: I have purchased Season 4 - on sale at 'WitKols' (Phonetic spelling applies). So far, it's pretty good...<br />
* Howabout some good vampire flicks, like the 1979 Dracula with Lawrence Olivier as Van Halen, um, I mean, Van Helsing. It's a fantastic movie - very kewl! <br />
* There's always a second-viewing of Battlefield:Earth - with Riftrax of course! What better way to watch the absolute horror that is LRonHubbardsCereal's masterpiece in Thetan turd than with the safety net of Riftrax to catch us when, inevitably, we all fall into fits of laughter at the wooden-plank acting of Travolta, and his cohorts of brain-washed Scientologists - BigCringeLOL!<br />
* Family Guy: Blue Harvest DVD - it's out at the shops!!!</div>Mikehttps://wiki.jon.geek.nz/index.php?title=Sci-Fi_Night&diff=1602Sci-Fi Night2008-02-08T07:08:20Z<p>Mike: </p>

==Previous Nights==<br />
<br />
===1st February 2008===<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-15 Grail<br />
:Some religious nutter seeking the Holy Grail comes to Bab 5, and hooks up with an emo engineer who worked on all the Babylon stations. Apparently, after leaving each station for leave or upon finishing the work, the station asplodey. Interestingly he points out that Babylon 4 didn't explode, but rather 'wrinkled up and disappeared'. <br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-16 Eyes<br />
:Overacting British Throw-My-Toys General guy conducts an investigation of Sinclair about his recent command decisions. Ivanova confronts a member of Psi-Corps (The freaky guy from ''The Frighteners - and incidently, he plays an An Andorian Starship captain from Star Trek Enterprise - Season 3, which is even better than you all could possibly imagine... but I digress''!) when told to submit to a scan. When Vorlon ambassador Kosh is told the Na'ka'leen feeder was disguised in a Vorlon encounter suit, he is pleased that his appearance makes people feel uneasy. Leneer helps Garibaldi finish his antique Kawazaki motorbike - and wow, do they ride that puppy round the station at 'StreetHawk' speeds... LOL!<br />
<br />
===25th January 2008===<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-13 Signs and Portents<br />
<br />
:We get to meet Morden, who simply asks "What do you want" to the main ambassadors. Why does Delenn get a freaky triangle on her head when he talks to her? And whats the dealio with Kosh breaking his suit. G'Kar and Londo get mad at each other. And at the end a giant spidery ship 'uncloaks' and kicks some ass. Seemingly related to Mr Morden.<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-14 TKO<br />
<br />
:It's a real "hose down" of an episode, with a Russian-Jewish Rabbi and a tough talkin' boxer friend of Garabaldi who likes to "stroke off".<br />
<br />
===Some time earlier===<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-12 By Any Means Necessary<br />
<br />

<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-11 Survivors<br />
<br />
:We get a peek at Garibaldi's alcoholic past. He's blamed for an accident aboard B5, which leads to hitting the bottle again after a prolonged abstinence.<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-10 Believers<br />
<br />
[[Image:110.jpeg|thumb|Believers]]<br />
<br />
:Lame morality tale about medical intervention versus fundy religious beliefs.<br />

<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-09 Deathwalker<br />
<br />
[[Image:109.jpeg|thumb|Deathwalker]]<br />
<br />
:Notorious war criminal scientist chick invents an immortality serum. Vorlon Ambassador Kosh intervenes with "You are not ready". He also hires telepath Talia Winters to oversee a very unusual negotiation with crazy exposed brain under his hat guy.<br />
:Minbari warrior, to Sinclair: "There is a hole in your mind!"<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-08 And The Sky Full Of Stars<br />
<br />
:Sinclair is kidnapped and interrogated by members of a pro-Earth (i.e. anti-aliens) group, determined to find out what transpired when the commander was briefly missing in action during the final battle of the Earth/Minbari war, something Sinclair himself has never been able to remember. What is it that the Minbari don't want Sinclair to remember about his experience on the Line?<br />
:After his squad was shot down at the Line, Sinclair's ship was disabled and taken aboard a Minbari cruiser. He was tortured and examined, and at one point stood unfettered within the circle of the grey council itself. When they didn't respond to his questions, Sinclair suddenly walked up to one of them and pulled back the hood, revealing the face of Delenn. He was then knocked out again, and some time later returned to his ship with no memory of the experience.<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-07 The War Prayer<br />
<br />
:A Minbari poet is attacked by a vicious pro-Earth group. Two young Centauri lovers seek Londo's protection. Londo's shoes are too tight, and he has forgotten how to dance.<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-06 Mind War<br />
<br />
:We meet Bester, a high-up Psi-Corps agent, played by our favourite ''Star Trek'' officer, Walter "Nuclear Wessels" Koenig when they're trying to hunt down escaped freaky experimented-on mind-quake guy Jason Ironheart, who gives Babylon 5 resident Psi-Corps agent Talia Winters a "gift" - telekinesis.<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-05 The Parliament Of Dreams<br />

===Agenda===<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-17 Legacies<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-18 & 1-19 A Voice in the Wilderness<br />
<br />
* There's been some QQing about wanting to go back and watch the pilot. Personally I'd rather keep moving forward since we have a lot of episodes to get through, and we are about to hit the really awesome ones for the season. Perhaps people can vote here?<br />
<br />
<br />
==Previous Nights==<br />
<br />
===1st February 2008===<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-15 Grail<br />
:Some religious nutter seeking the Holy Grail comes to Bab 5, and hooks up with an emo engineer who worked on all the Babylon stations. Apparently, after leaving each station for leave or upon finishing the work, the station asplodey. Interestingly he points out that Babylon 4 didn't explode, but rather 'wrinkled up and disappeared'. <br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-16 Eyes<br />
:<Insert remarks here><br />
<br />
===25th January 2008===<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' EP 1-13 Signs and Portents<br />
<br />
:We get to meet Morden, who simply asks "What do you want" to the main ambassadors. Why does Delenn get a freaky triangle on her head when he talks to her? And whats the dealio with Kosh breaking his suit. G'Kar and Londo get mad at each other. And at the end a giant spidery ship 'uncloaks' and kicks some ass. Seemingly related to Mr Morden.<br />
<br />
* ''Babylon 5'' &mdash; EP 1-14 TKO<br />
<br />
:It's a real "hose down" of an episode, with a Russian-Jewish Rabbi and a tough talkin' boxer friend of Garabaldi who likes to "stroke off".<br />
<br />
==Future Nights==<br />
* ''Babylon 5''<br />
** Seriously, the Pilot and Episode 1.01 are quite good.<br />
** Even 1.02 Soul Hunter has some stuff about Minbari beliefs.<br />
* ''Battlestar Galactica'' when it returns - and may it return quickly... SO SAY WE ALLLL!!!!<br />
* ''Doctor Who'' - the last ones we saw were the Daleks in the Empire State Building<br />
* ''Torchwood''<br />
* ''Farscape''<br />
* ''[http://imdb.com/title/tt0756683/ The Man From Earth]'' - Indie movie, that's apparently really good! Someone should 'obtain' this... (31/01/2008 - Consider this "obtained" - Griff)<br />
* I have the retouched and remastered film ''Metropolis'' on DVD<br />
* We have some Rifftrax of ''The Matrix'', ''Fellowship Of The Ring'' and some ''Star Trek'' movies we haven't watched yet<br />
* ''Enterprise''? At least from Season 4, right through Season 4 would be Gravy!!!</div>Mikehttps://wiki.jon.geek.nz/index.php?title=Sci-Fi_Night&diff=1559Sci-Fi Night2008-01-31T03:18:11Z<p>Mike: </p>
