BerkeleyLUG meetup this Sunday 2019-08-25 at Cafe Blue Door

[goossbears]

Hey everyone,

A timely reminder here that the second BerkeleyLUG
meetup of the month is this upcoming Sunday, August
25th, "officially" happening from 12Noon to 3pm PDT
at Berkeley's Cafe Blue Door.
The time and dates of meetups are also viewable
at www.berkeleylug.com/meetings
Unofficially, some of the BerkeleyLUG participants
have regularly hung-around at past meetups, working on
various projects and/or engaging in discussion/training
even well past 3:00pm.

Cafe Blue Door is located at 2244 Bancroft Way;
across the street from Cal's Edwards Stadium near
the extreme Southwestern corner of the campus.
Also see its Yelp page at https://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-blue-door-berkeley
and its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleyFloorCafe/
When you enter the front door of the cafe, look
around for a gathering of other recognizable Linux

aficionados sitting around the large table with laptops

and other small computing devices as well as for the

small sign indicating the presence of the group.

Those of you dropping by this Sunday for the meetup are
welcome to bring along extra surge-protected power
strips and long, grounded extension cords for powering
the various computing devices you're bringing along with
you, duly taking into account the cafe's power-outlet
and space constraints.
As before, we would kindly request that all meetup
attendees please accommodate everyone else present
at the table(s), even including non-BerkeleyLUG
patrons at the Cafe.

Thanks, Cheers and See ya' there!
-A

Yeah, another Sunday when am unable to attend the BerkeleyLUG meetup :-(

And given that first-of-the-month Sundays have always seemed to be pre-occupied with multiple tasks to accomplish (at least for myself), will also have to pass on the BerkeleyLUG First Sunday Pi days as well, from now through at least most of the Fall season.

In any case, hope that today's meetup goes well :-)

Awesome link to the original announcement 

"It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never

will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(. "  

HA HA!!!

Nice meeting today.  

Hope people don't mind a little summary:  

My friend Tom brought in a Dell 5570 with Windows on a 

spinner hard drive.  He added an NVME ssd in an M.2 socket 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2

We installed Ubuntu.  Funny thing was the Ubuntu Installer didn't see the 

nvme drive when we selected "install along side Windows"  But you do see it 

if you chose "Do something else" or advanced from alongside Windows option.  

Also Bob had a Pi Zero with a full size USB A port, that he configured in 

"Gadget mode"  The Pi Zero is set up to act as a USB device to a host 

computer.  In this case Bob configured it to be a USB to Ethernet adapter.  

Process involves setting config.txt to load the dwc2 and g_ether modules on boot.  

Thern when you plug the Pi Zero to your laptop the Zero boots for a minute and 

you see an ethernet device in dmesg.  

Thanks to Michael explaining how to set up static IP and we were able to 

ssh to the Pi from usb.  

Reminder: Next Sunday (Labor Day weekend) is the 1st and there will 

be a Pi Day at Blue Door noon til 3.  

I am thinking of exploring the Gadget mode on the PI.  There are some other 

modes besides the ethernet one like USB HID (like the Rubber Ducky:  

https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky-deluxe ) or USB flash drive.  

The Pi A is supposed to be able to do this too.  Pi zero has OTG 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go which would make it switch to 

Gadget mode when a special USB cable is inserted.
