Hello

Its time for yet another LUG Meeting this Saturday at the Knight's Templar
Pub in Bristol. For anyone who doesn't know we sit on the lower level at
the back of the pub when entering it usually in the corner on the left hand
sides with the plugs, or near there instead if someone else not from our
group is already there. Also at least someone from our group is likely to
be there at about 1:30pm and people usually leave about 5 to 5:30pm.

Why not come along for a informal meeting with fellow Linux Enthusiasts and
show us something interesting that's related to Linux/opensource or
technology in general?

I'll be there with interesting smart phones and one of my tablets, but it's
next month where I will probably be there with some quite interesting crowd
funded tech that I haven't recieved just yet.

I expect to be there at about 2:30pm by the earliest, however I will
probably actsually arrive about 3:30pm, or maybe about 3. What about other
people, when likely to be there, and who is intending on coming?

Best Regards

Sebastian

P.S

I thought I was going to possibly be going to that pub twice this week
since another group as well, but that didn't happen.

Just in case someone is considering going by train, a reminder that there is major engineering work going on on Filton Bank, and there are no trains going North to/from Temple Meads. This includes the Severn Beach line. The Severn Tunnel is also closed, so trains between London and South Wales are going via Gloucester.

Trains South and East of Temple Meads (i.e. Bath/Weston-Super-Mare) are unaffected.

Hello Any LUGer

Re: repair GNOME Commander for MIME html opening

I am a newby needing help. My CowLUG in Cowichan Valley BC Canada
is off line as is our listserver so I have to try to contact
individual LUGs.

I have gnome-commander 1.2.8.17 on my Linux Mint 17.2 and all was well
until I noticed that I lost the Open (file) feature for *.html and
other related files. I may be referring to MIME type (html).

My guess is that I may have clicked on something by accident without
my noticing what it was that lost me this handy function.

I have failed in my search for any documents or other messages that
may offer a way for me to regain the Open *.html files.

I think that I could remove gcmd and re-install it to get all the Open
options working as they should. A small problem though is that I have
a number of gcmd bookmarks that I fear may get lost in the re-install.

Also I may try to upgrade my gcmd to a later version. Will that install
over top of my existing gcmd fix the Open problem without losing any of
my bookmarks?

Are there any gcmd documents I can download to learn more about the
workings of gcmd any version? Does anyone have a fix for me?

Still on the learning curve ...

Not sure if this will give you exactly what you need, but you might
try 'man xdg-settings' in the terminal.

Highly unlikely as there are 2 240 sockets so it wouldn't know which was 'master' . A quick google doesn't show any evidence of it either.

To check, turn off the TV at the socket and see if the devices are still on/charging :)

Not quite what I mean.

I assume HDMI CEC is used for putting the device to sleep. I was thinking complete loss of the HDMI signal might be configured to initiate shutdown of each of the devices (loss of the HDMI signal initiated by turning of the TV at the plug socket)

I hadn't considered the power light on the Chromecast, I'll take a look.

Hi All,

Hope you're having a spectacular weekend!

Last week I installed myself an Mk branded mains socket with two embedded USB sockets supporting up to 2.1 amps current. I've plugged in both devices and it works a charm!

What I'm wondering - both devices seem to have an automatic sleep mode (seems to be activated when the TV AV source is set to another device), does anyone know if they also turn "off" - when the TV is turned off at the socket? i.e. should I be unplugging the USB plugs when the TV is off, or is it not required?

Thanks for any insight...

Chris
