Video Capture software
by Max Pyziur 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Greetings, I saw these video capture devices advertised for converting old VHS tapes; one end plugs into a vcr; the other into the computer via USB. A long time ago, xawtv was one of the software packages to use. Is this still the case, or has something else come along? Thank you. Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

USB Wireless Card Support in Linux
by Stephen Morris 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Hi, I have just upgraded my USB Wireless Adapter from a Dlink DWA182 to a Dlink DWA192. The DWA192 appears to be natively supported in the kernel, but the kernel appears to only provide access to the 2.4MHz channel and not the 5MHz channel. Is this by design or is there something I need to do to get access to the 5MHz channel? regards, Steve

Is there something like denyhosts for sasl attacks?

PXE Fedora 23 with Anaconda 20?
by Dave Close 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

I've been trying to get a new working PXE installation for F23 and it isn't working. I just noticed what might be the problem. Although I downloaded the vmlinuz and initrd.img from the F23 server version archive, when the installation starts it shows F20 in the upper-right and checking via Alt-F2 shows that it is Anaconda v20 that's running. What could be responsible for that? What part of my PXE configuration might be wrong? -- Dave Close
