Linux Use In Dublin

I don’t think we should get too disheartened by last Saturday at all – put it down to teething problems. What we have learned is that a crowded pub mightn’t be the best place for an inaugural meeting of a bunch of people who don’t know each other.

Well, how about we do something absolutely crazy – since we don’t know each other at all we arrange to meet somewhere less social, have a good twenty minute/half-hour discussion as to what exactly we want from the LUG and then break up – those heading to a pub head to the pub, those who need to fight their way home through the Dublin traffic do so.

I doubt I can get a room in my Department – I’m too low a grade and I think it’s only open in the mornings for official business - but I’ll check anyways and post back tomorrow. There’s a pretty sweet meeting room that would be perfect!

More realistic: Anyone know if you can book the meeting room in the Central Library in the Ilac Centre? (More importantly, is it free?)

Or is anyone here in a University or IT in the city centre?

When I was (very) briefly in Trinity I used to book rooms in the Arts Block all the time. You just need to be a student there and ring Accommodation and ask to reserve a room for x amount of people (say it’s for a study group). I assume it’s similar for DIT. I’m not registered anymore, but if someone else is they should be able to do it without too much trouble.

Hmmm...don't know who was doing what in relation to this, and posts seem to have dried up a little bit, so I did some leg work.

I checked with my Department to use a room for a meeting - effectively a no-go for the moment.

I asked in the Central Library in the Ilac Centre - they do have a meeting room...I was told at the Information Desk it would be pretty much booked up at the moment, but the people to check with were the Learning Resource people in the Library who had the actual schedule. Didn't get a chance to actually check with them...anyone else feel like giving them a buzz to see when they have available?(In work for rest of day, so I won't get chance)

Any one else have any luck for a possible meeting place?

Any Uni/Tech students get a chance to check with their institutions to see if they can book a room? Anybody know any parish/community hall or school that might let us have a room for free?

I use Ubuntu 6.06 and I got Linux Systems Administrator Certificate in IACT. I like Linux for the secure system and new kernel releases.

Hello all,

I'm another absolute beginner here, i've managed to install ubuntu on an older laptop (Feisty Fawn). That all went well. I'm now trying to get the wireless network going on it. I have an eircom wirless router which is been picked up, i am prompted for the WEP key which i enter correctly but it does not want to connect for me.

I've tried a few commands from ubuntu forms sudo iwlist, etc/network/interfaces & ifconfig but cant make hear nor tail of what its giving me.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers for that. I did a bit more rooting around and came across wifi-radar which ironed out my problem. Also put hardy heron on the laptop, all going well so far.
