SSL

Hi, it would be nice to have SSL support (at least for login) on elinux.org. Currently https://elinux.org returns "You don't have permission to access / on this server." using a certificate for "*.osuosl.org". Thanks for considering.

Trying to trigger a notification email

BillTraynor (talk)

My colleague want to make eLinux account, but they got error message from eLinux now. "Error sending mail: Failed to sender:wmat@elinux.org [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 530, response: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first)]" Could you tell me how to solve this issue? Also, when I made eLinux account at 2020/Aug./19th, I didn't get some error message. Best Regards,

YA (talk)

Thanks. We are actively working to resolve this now. Please stand by.

Wmat (talk)

This has been fixed now.

Wmat (talk)

Thank you for your quick support.

YA (talk)

I had created a wiki article for our group's project, and the title contained an emoji. However now, any page that would load the title of the new page, including the recent changes tab cause the page to return an internal error. I don't want to cause the users of this site the inability to view that tab, so if you could delete that page it would be ok.

Mulholbn (talk)

Fixed the recentchanges page. Go ahead and create a new page but please don't use any unicode characters this time.

elinux org/Jetson_TX1 - we need to add "USB 3.0 webcams known to be working" like this (elinux org/Jetson/Cameras). how is it possible to do that. Admin please create the section "USB 3.0 webcams known to be working" in TX1 page.

AnithaJp (talk)

Are you not able to Edit that elinux.org/Jetson_TX1 page? I see you have edited it in the past?

Wmat (talk)

yes i can able to edit the existing section(contents). But i need to create the new section like "USB 3.0 webcams known to be working". if possible please create the new section.

AnithaJp (talk)

OK, I added a section for USB 3.0 webcams known to be working with a few empty bullets. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Wmat (talk)

Thank you so much for your help. is it possible to add camera image in this section..?

AnithaJp (talk)

Sure, just edit the section and add a wiki link to your image then upload the image.

Wmat (talk)

Hi,

i registered to add my own humble RPi-Tutorials, but as i browsed through the hub and the tuts......

Is it desireable to Update the whole section (test links, build categories,...)?

Best regards, Sebastian

Sebastian (talk)

Do whatever makes the most sense. If there's a structure that you're adding to, then stick with the structure. But if you're adding brand new stuff, update the whole section.

Wmat (talk)

Hello Wmat,

Would you have a look at the new board wikis for:

• ARTIK board
• ESPresso board

...and if you find them good enough, please link them into the main Elinux wiki page under the section 'Hardware Pages'? Thank you.

Michael (talk)

No problem, no you have images you'd like to use?

Wmat (talk)

Ah. I should have thought of that, sorry. I'll get a couple small pictures ready in five minutes.

Michael (talk)

Icon files are online.

ARTIK board gets the icon ESPresso board gets the icon

I think the quality is okay, and I made the backgrounds transparent to match what's online. Thanks again.

Michael (talk)

Thanks, they're all setup now. Cool boards, care to donate some to the wiki? :)

Wmat (talk)

Michael (talk)

Hello, I would like to add Qualcomm Snapdragon based open boards from Inforce that run Linux. Please let me know if I can do this myself or if this has to be done by you. The board that is relevant and needs to be added is at http://www.inforcecomputing.com/products/single-board-computers-sbc/qualcomm-snapdragon-410-inforce-6309-micro-sbc

Cheers.

You can add 99% of the content, but I'll need to add a link from the frontpage if you require it.

Wmat (talk)

I added the board to the MainPage with a link to a new page, but let me know if you name the new page differently.

Wmat (talk)

I see you never did add any content to the wiki regarding your board: http://www.inforcecomputing.com/products/single-board-computers-sbc/qualcomm-snapdragon-410-inforce-6309-micro-sbc

I don't want to put external links directly on the front page. If you'd like to add a new page, for example call it InforceSnapdragon and add content, I can add the link to it on the front page.

For now, I'm commenting out that board in the hardware section.

Wmat (talk)

Hello, I would like to work on adding some great single board computers to the site. They are Freescale i.MX6 ARM boards that run linux, etc. Please let me know if I can go ahead and start adding these or if there is a method you would like to talk me through. The boards I would like to add are listed here: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/connect/displayPartnerProfile.sp?partnerId=1-4THD-4

Best Regards.

Fantastic! If there are going to be a significant number of boards, I'd suggest linking from the MainPage with 1 image and calling it perhaps "Freescale Boards" and linking to a page called perhaps FreescaleBoards from which you could link out to the content.

You can go ahead and begin adding content, but I'll need to add the MainPage link, as that page is protected.

Does this sound good?

Wmat (talk)

It would be nice if we had a portal for the Yocto Project. what do you say?

You know that OE and Yocto Project both have their own wikis:

http://openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Main_Page

I'd be happy to include both under the elinux.org umbrella though.

Wmat (talk)

Let me know how to add instructions to AudioCape page

Posted them here: http://elinux.org/CircuitCo_talk:Audio_Cape_RevB#Audio_Cape_instructions_530

Thanks for adding those instructions where you did, Jesse. I'll talk to the CircuitCo guys about where best to put that info.

Wmat (talk)

Hi please update you db to 5.5. Please update meriadb to 5.5 please

For what reason?

Wmat (talk)

It increases the performance and speed. And enables something that makes it even faster.

It is actually version 10.0.11

Well, it's not that simple. We are hosted for free by OSUOSL. They are currently in the process of retiring the db server we're using. They're looking into what version of MariaDB is on the new server that we'll be migrating to.

Can you tell me exactly what the feature is that makes the 10.0 series faster? I'm not hearing any complaints about speed.

Wmat (talk)

Hi please could you install extension scribunto and please fix wikieditor because it is not showing and please update all your extension because they have the news .jsom file that Mediawiki 1.24 uses. And please download the new version from git for 1.24 because it seems JavaScript is not working on here.

And please install extension echo

And please uninstall Extension:SimpleAntiSpam because it has been merged into the core of Mediawiki starting with Mediawiki 1.22.

And please install Extension:LocalisationUpdate.

I've installed Scribunto but haven't tested it yet. I've installed the Echo extension. And wikieditor works for me. Try clearing your cache before editing a page, as sometime wikieditor won't show up.

SimpleAntiSpam is already installed.

LocalizationUpdates is installed now.

You'll have to give me some time to finish upgrading the other extensions.

Cheers

Wmat (talk)

Thankyou could you uninstall simpleantispam due to it being discontinued and is now in the core of Mediawiki

Thanks for the pointer. It's uninstalled now.

Wmat (talk)

Thanks.

All extensions are now up to date.

Thank you

The pinout for the Olimex USB-Serial-Cable is wrong. The Red Wire (TX) should be connected to the Receive PIN and the Green (RX) should be connected to Transmit.They must be exchanged when connecting to the serial port

Thanks Jassuncao,

Can you give me the direct internal link to the erroneous content? I can't seem to find it. Or better yet, can you simply fix it if the page is editable.

Unfortunately, the page is not editable.

The page should be editable once you login. It's not protected. Or just tell me what to change and I'll change it.

Wmat (talk)

It is protected, tried just now.

You're correct, any pages in the Beagleboard: namespace are indeed protected. I've gone ahead and corrected the error.

The site seems to be using the email discussing method I recommend the implementation of IRC It is easier, faster and can get more freely than using email, or get both stay.

We've had #elinux on freenode for years.

Wmat (talk)

I mean, an independant chat for every category for example #elinux_software #elinux_hardware etc. for better management in information sorting (might find some useful infos too)

Well, there are already lots of channels dedicated to both. For example #beagle. But I believe one central channel where everyone congregates increases your chance of finding someone with knowledge about whatever it is you're interested in. This also allows others to chime in and/or just follow specific chats to learn. There's also many mailing lists out there as well as bugs.elinux.org.
